A retired teacher from Dallas, Texas, I had to speak to her because of the shirt she was wearing. We talked politics for a bit and she proposed marriage if I could get her into Canada where we are apparently much more sane. I assured her I was already married and not to idealize Canada too much as we're not perfect here either, but that on the balance things are pretty ok in Toronto at least. "I never thought I'd see us slide so far backwards so fast."
