If you ever drove into the capital city... 'Welcome to Regina: That's with an R... As in the word 'Ridiculous'... As in Your Face is Ridiculous'... would be the greeting to my home town... half-heart-warming... half-educational... ... a sign I'm accustomed to reading more times than I want to think about... The path to the hockey rink... And the path to the golf course... And the path to Fort Qu'appelle... And the path to Kelliher...
... Winnipeg boasts a real home-townish... 'Welcome to Winnipeg: Where Mosquitos will F'ing kill you!... That means YOU... Yes YOU... No Joke... Stay in the car... there's nothing to see here anyways'...
... Off to the west... 'Welcome to Calgary: Yes, This Really IS the Highway and yes, it runs right through the whole city... No... we're not going to change it... Good Luck With Traffic'...
... And our Northerly borthers rock the... 'Welcome to Edmonton /slash Welcome to Saskatoon: We Know, it's really far out of the way... some people like that'...
... Well... you can imagine my surprise when I happen to run into a sign that reads 'Welcome to Vancouver'... and then what came just after... which was... 'Welcome to Vancouver: Nuclear Weapons Free Zone'... ... ... no joke... that's what it said... This isn't America... is it?... is this America Danny?...
