I love the one about Sask! To funny!

But I will have you know that we are far from poor here. Gander was voted one of the top 5 places in Canada to live. Average household is $120,000 and up...we may be small...but we have lots of money and even more debt! LOL
Also, newfies are probably the only ones who can make fun of themselves and no one gets offended.

Lori,

Those $120,000+ average incomes are a result of all the Nflder's flying to Alberta for the week to work! :)

Thanks for the amusing post, Shelley. Be sure to let us know who you will be voting for in the next election. I'm still baffled as to how Harper pulled the wool over your eyes. :)

Nope...not many in this town fly to AB to work, I don't know of anyone actually. The ones who go to AB are located out around the more rural areas. I don't think you would be able to make $120,000 + a yr on EI. We all have our jobs right here:) Most of the jobs are from the ATC located in the town.
