Why hot and bothered? I don't see any issues.

The thought of longlining out of a helicopter with a chainsaw on my back to fix a toilet gives me a boner.

Hmmm - maybe it's time I moved to my third country.

For anyone who hasn't been there, Alberta is possibly the most scenic place I've been. Canmore is just outside Banff National Park. From what I experienced Canmore is a legitimately laid back place to be, and I grew up in in WI Dells and lived in Las Vegas, so I can smell a fake town with fake charm. I wasn't impressed with the town of Banff at all, but Canmore was pretty awesome.
