Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Aug 25 13:48:11 2019 To get to Niagara Falls, you first have to go through the Jewish Homeland on Grand Island. No toll booths.  I didn't get to investigate if this is one of those racist Trump stores.     This is an American, not a Canadian:     Considering there were so many Muslims around, I decided to seek out those dehumanizing checkpoints that Talib and Omar keep warning us about.  After a dehumanizing and discriminating experience that The Squad is too weak to fix, It was a good time nonetheless.   Despite their bizarre units of measurement, and the checkpoints, I'd recommend a trip. But, it was time to return to the other side of the checkpoint to the open air prison. I'm still so distraught, I forgot to edit all of these for contrast and balance. |

Just like in America, the people behind the counter couldn't even get their own measurements right.Which proves a theory I have. Only Americans learn how the metric system actually even properly works! |

I always did, and made it a point to check it out. These photos, plus one other I did in buschat was the sum of my entire time there.There is a nightly fireworks show. And Canada has more carny like attractions than I have ever seen. I hope to go back for more than 4 hours. |

I used to be the fan of casinos, sometimes Indian ones. Partially due to time and such, didn't go in the Seneca joint.Frankly, I wondered why there's such a difference between the two jurisdictions of America and Canada, and after a full 1.8 metric seconds I then remembered the problem. As someone who has been all around and watches creep politicians, it's always the same deal. Canada had life, and commerce. You walk over that bridge to a dark and empty America, and just going to an empty parking garage with dirty elevators reminded me of all the distopian sci-fi movies I enjoy. |

It looks like, from maps anyway, that America has most of the land, considering Goat Island and such. Canada just has the tourist infrastructure with all the attractions (unrelated to the falls) and even some of the boats. But the Americans had boats too.America has the parks, and Canada has the vacation stuff to simplify it. It's just too bad you have to go through a humiliating checkpoint and asked all sorts of questions. I should've lodged a UN complaint against Canada. |

I had the misfortune of having to use the Canadian health system in emergency, while in Canada. It was a nightmare. The people were nice, but the facility was like something out of the 1960s. And the waiting room was like cattle hearded. I will be we comain about a US emergency room again, and there's plenty to complain about |

I met a few Canadians at a ballgame in Central NY this summer and they didn't rave about any of those things. As a matter of fact they were baffled by their country's systems for handling those things. |

Everyone normally bills you, unless they're that f-ed up.There's a guest host on a popular radio program I won't mention who loves talking about the Canadian and European healthcare systems. To describe it as the 1960's sounds like they must've vastly improved recently. |

FYI, literally in Niagara Falls at night, on both sides of the border, if you're thinking of a white American or Canadian native born, that didn't even 5% of either population. It was very "diverse" if you think 3 types of people equal diversity.Fascinating and cool to see (as I'm also getting tired of White people, not being one myself), but still, demographics are demographics. I can't wait to go back for mote than an evening. It's pretty. |
