Obtunded..... good luck in your Western Canadians. I will be in Ottawa for the Eastern Canadians the same weekend. Won`t hijack your post by going into the Eastern details.

Suffice it to say that Canadian F Class is growing at a steady pace. When I look back at our progress at the Provincial and National levels over the past 5 years one can only speculate where we will be 5 years from now.
