the sheepdog training place is just off 1 Ave, which is the Canada-US border. Seen in passing: a US cop in full fatigues, Kevlar vest reading “POLICE,” searching a ditch on the US side. A giant US flag on a pole at the T-junction onto 1 Avenue, on the US side, at the fenceline of a private house, centred. And this little display a mile or so along the Canadian roadside, citing Mike Myers’s “elbows up” reference to stroppy hockey great Gordie Howe on SNL back in March. #canpoli
