it's time for the next step in equalization payments

It's as plain on the nose on yer face, when you watch the morning weather on Newsworld as I did today before stepping outside to get said nose frozen off.

Here's me in Ontario, shivering at, say, -20 (and that's without the windchill).

There they are in coastal BC, basking in something like +10.

Well.

-20
+10
-10

-10/2 = -5 -- a good, equalized temperature for mid-January in Canada.

I want the 15 degrees that BC is hoarding and that are rightfully mine, by virtue of citizenship in this great and equality-loving country. And I want them to keep some of the damned wind instead of sending it eastward to me, too.

A new plank for Jack's platform? Perhaps a reference to the Supreme Court would be the most politically palatable approach? Will Harper be his usual unCanadian self and play to his western base, and call for a referendum on my birthright, or for invoking the notwithstanding clause to preserve the traditional definition of good weather as being for Lotusland dwellers only? Martin, of course, will ... wait to see which way the wind is blowing today ...

1. lol

:7

Had -20C myself yesterday. That's some kind of cold.

2. As long as NWT, Yukon, Alberta and Sakatchewan aren't factored in.

your idea seems fair.

On wind, in Alberta the saying is that the wind doesn't blow, Saskatchewan sucks. I lived in SK for 9 years so hopefully I can get away with saying that.

3. hmm ... hadn't counted on that ...

As long as NWT, Yukon, Alberta and Sakatchewan aren't factored in
your idea seems fair.

I suppose they would be wanting to siphon off some of those degrees. How Ontario-centric I was being. ;)

Maybe I should just demand some of Windsor's warmth, and keep it in the family.

4. I have a much better idea...

Let's just ALL dump our excess miserable cold and snow on New Brunswick (Province of Swine) and suck every bit of warmth and sunshine out of the place. That seems eminently fair to me.
