Got these in my email this morning, and wanted to share them (even though most of you got them too!)- pretty darn hilarious! I mean, it's not like we've never heard them before! I have to admit, I did laugh out loud when I read them.
TOP REASONS TO LIVE IN ALBERTA
1. Big Rock between you and B.C.
2. Ottawa who?
3. Tax is 7 per cent instead of approximately 200 per cent for the rest of the country.
4. Flames vs. Oilers.
5. Stamps vs. Eskies.
6. You can exploit almost any natural resource you can think of.
7. You live in the only province that could actually afford to be its own country.
8. The Americans below you are all in anti-government militia groups.
And for Tracey and the Robertsons:
TOP REASONS TO LIVE IN NEW BRUNSWICK
1. One way or another, the government gets 98 per cent of your income.
2. You're poor, but not as poor as the Newfies.
3. When listing the provinces, everyone forgets to mention yours.
4. The economy is based on fish, cows, and ferrying Ontario motorists to Boston.
5. No one ever blames anything on New Brunswick.
6. Everybody has a Grandfather who runs a lighthouse
7. Just as charming as Maine, but with more unemployed fishermen
8. You probably live in a small seaside cottage with no television.
I wish you had a lighthouse...
Have a great weekend!

but the newbie one is not a very happy one...people forget about us?? so true since people always guess i was born in nova scotia!! but why would that be a reason to live there? to be forgotten :(
