did some reading last night
although the new passport no longer says European Union on the cover
visa free travel is still allowed throughout the Community
sounds like taking that designation off the cover was a political move
this Brexit nonsense has reinvigorated the independence movement in Scotland
Scots and some N. Irish want nothing to do with it
from what I hear the educated English are of the same opinion

The allowable days to be in the US in succession is one day less than the limit to be outside Canada. No they wont hunt you down and deport you, but next time you want into the US it will be part of the border conversation. They really focused on this at the US interview for Nexus.
Do your homework when exiting/entering back into Canada, time limits, value of goods traveling with you, cash allowances are all part of the process and yes you can get away with stuff 95% of the time, its that 5% ………

You sure it's not because of the new song by Billy Ray Cyrus Old Town Road - which one of their roads is named
People have been stealing the road signs because of it, so the town started selling them.

Mexico cartel kills 19, hangs some from bridge, leaves others chopped up on the road below
A deadly war has engulfed Mexico's southern state of Michoacan, where cartels fight over both drugs and the lucrative avocado market

Definitely don’t join a cartel while travelling in Mexico.
And if you do join the stronger one....
Camping for a week at Ferris Provincial Park. Campbellford is a nice town and the drive from the 401 into town is nice.
Still close to the city. (Toronto)
Drove through a Rez with countless pot shops and smokes.
Haven’t checked out the housing cost but the community so far is nice.
Not sure what the economy is like or the drivers. Decent mix of farming and small town life.

I spent a lot of time in Ferris many moons ago. Personally, I wouldn't choose Campbellford as a home, but at least the bridge has been fixed now. It was closed for quite a while and was a complete disaster as the detour was something like 45 minutes to get you a block from where you started.
As far as the res, that was probably the green mile in Alderville. People I went to school with are excercising their treaty rights to sell traditional medicine to their people. smh. Traditional first nations people did not have pot/cbd/edibles/. . . . I would be surprised if anything in the store was actually used by their distant ancestors.
Surprised? Don't be. There's a precedent, and they do have a treaty. More power to them.*
“Some of the earliest evidence of hemp in North America is associated with the ancient Mound Builders of the Great Lakes and Mississippi Valley. Hundreds of clay pipes, some containing cannabis residue and wrapped in hemp cloth, were found in the so-called Death Mask mound of the Hopewell Mound Builders, who lived about 400 B.C.E in modern Ohio. Nearly two millennia after the age of the Mound Builders, European explorers seemed reassured by meeting up with a familiar plant upon their arrival in an alien “new world.”

This is a really big stretch! North American has an indigenous plant called Apocynum cannabinum, a poisonous shrub that is referenced in the article posted above. It's not related to cannabis and does not produce psychoactive THC or CBD. It also goes the names Indian Hemp, dogbane, and wild cotton.
It has similar uses as hemp, nutritious seeds, good quality fiber that can be made into cordage and yarns, and some uses in folk medicine.
It is a fictional leap to claim there is any Native American connection to the cannibis we call marijuana. Cannabis was imported to North America by European explorers mainly for it's long and strong bast fibers which made great military cordage and ropes. .
