None of that sounds right!

It could be that they aren't reading meters and that's just some standardized charge. Looked weird, though.

Juliana I would do that if I were you!! Sadly I have no Canadian connection.

My mother's parents are from Canada, and her second oldest brother was born there. When I looked into it for her, it did not seem my mother could claim her citizenship.

My cousin's father (the 2nd oldest brother mentioned above) was born in Canada, but eventually became a US citizen, along with our grandmother.

That cousin said she's looked into it, can claim her citizenship, and says my mother can, too. I don't think she's correct in what she's told my mother, but I can't be arsed to argue or look into it further.

Granted I looked into it three years ago and things may have changed, but my understanding was that grandparents - but not parents - being born in Canada did not get you Canadian citizenship. I'd love to be wrong; if I could get Canadian citizenship I'd hunt down my grandfather's immigration papers with a quickness.

I think I'm going to do in-person early voting. I'm also considering being an election judge. I don't want to expose myself to all that, but if this is the way we have to fight I might. And it's not like my job will conflict.

My best chance with Canada is to survive long enough for Canada to annex the Great Lakes states.

DH's father was Canadian. I don't think he ever became a US citizen despite being in the Air Force 20 years. I don't think his grandparents ever did either although they lived in Florida for years.

Still, I refuse to let my mind consider having to leave, but I would.

Actually got my butt out and hiked a couple miles in the woods on a trial that goes to a pretty dam and back. I am soooo out of shape.

Bob was able to get a Canadian citizenship because his mother's Canadian. But there was a window he had to do that in. And his mother had to be born during a certain time period (& it had to be his mother, not his father).

I can't imagine leaving if I can't bring my folks with me.

It's sobering to think about how many millions of people don't have the means to leave, even if they wanted to.

I'm so heartbroken at what this country has become.

I think my most recent ancestral connection to Canada would've been in the 18th century, and that was more in the way of people living in a part of upstate NY that was actually across the border rather than purposeful being Canadian citizens.

I suppose there might be some possibility of claiming Russian citizenship, my dad recently met some distant relative online who is still there, but that seems like a pretty bad idea.
