Actually with all the foreign culture that has landed in Canada during our immigration splurge. It all seemed to land in the larger cities or nearby smaller ones. I suppose dog is marketed somewhere.

I know horsemeat is sold in places like Montreal. Both would cost more than typical meats I suspect.

We live in a kind of bubble where there has been little to no immigration for over a hundred years. It will be very disturbing when and if this situation changes for the locals.

Good thing you have us to cheer you up!

That's true as I sit here in Canada nibbling on my dog sandwich. I do not think it is legal to eat cat up here but have not checked. I also did not check the exact wording in the 44 American states that apparently allow it. I vaguely remember some quote in the distant past by an American that something tastes like chicken?

Actually it does not depress me seeing what is going on as much as concern me how it is negatively impacting younger families. We are at the edge of breaking into a two level society. Or have already passed it.

Those that can aquire property and those that have little to no chance of affording it.

Not owning your own dwelling can have implications when you reach retirement age especially. It was always considered a forced savings item tied to inflation. The old your home was your castle concept so to speak.

We also seem to have another new division. A growing percentage of the population seem to make far too much for their skill levels. While a larger percentage are historically earning less than ever with inflations effects. The high level of real unemployment that everyone seems to have become comforatable with unless you are without employment is yet another.

I am of course still thankful in general as I have been for quite awhile that things are still holding together such as they are.
