So which particular unjust, Canadian law would we want to collectively target to demonstrate how to conduct a nonviolent act of civil disobedience against?

It would just be too damn weird to meet you guys in person.

What would happen to all my mental images of you? They'd be destroyed!

That's it. I'm out. I cannot handle a buff guy and a manatee in Canada all at once.

It would be fun, but these damn border things these days suck. In fact they've always sucked. My passport has expired and I didn't get one of those "enhanced" IDs last time I renewed. We'll all size each other up too, that we're agents or not. That would be fun.

regrets? this is one

coming from australia is out of the question, great idea though
the question is why, who, why, what, why, when, why and why again?

Woo hoo! I probably won't be able to afford it, but stranger things have happened (viz. Rigorous Intuition by Jeff Wells). I'd dig to go see Canada.

I reckon it would be fantastic if some of your fellow Trine Day authors could be there, too. Then a few shortish presentations. I think a more RI vibe would just be a lot of tables and some couches with people in varying states of sobriety drifting in and out of a number of conversations.

I would love to come oat to Canada and see what you all look like. It would be a Cognitive Dissonance Fest. I bet Nordic is a stocky Neapolitan gangster-type, a bit like Joe Pesci, while SanDiegoBuffGuy surely bears a close resemblance to Stephen Merchant.



Can we organise a soccer match? Boys against girls?

PS Are there bears in Toronto? I'm scared of bears.
