Serious question: would the vote not be tossed if he died before the actual election day?

There are plenty of GOP members doing truly horrific shit to not have to scrape the bottom of the barrel like this

Have you thought about putting 'do todo list' on your todo list?

I could never remember which was Gargoyle and which was Grotesque so this will help.

Personally when someone asks me where I'm from, I respond in order of:

A) if I'm in my home city, I tell them the province I grew up in (because I came from a small town I would never expect anyone to know, if it was a big city I'd say that.)

B) If I'm away from my home city in my home province, I tell them my home city.

C) if I'm away from my home province, I tell them my home province.

D) if I'm away from Canada I'll tell them I'm from Canada

E) if based on context it seems they're asking about my ethnic background, I tell them I'm some kind of western/northern European mutt.

Now obviously I'm white as hell and no accent, but OP is saying they're basically that as well, so I'm not sure why race would be the assumption for them either. I don't even know how I would respond if i asked someone at work where they're from and they answered Canada.

They're either making conversation or racist, depending on context. Answering the country you're from if you're currently in that country is pretty odd.

 

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has recommendations on lenders offering HELOC that don't require your mortgage to be with them. I've checked a few credit unions but it's a slow process since none seen to want to offer the information up front

Thanks
