Today is St. George's Day, so ... a story.
Because this picture is worth nothing without a few words. Well, let's see how much it is worth after the story.
The Canadian town of Lloydminster is situated in two provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan. So actually there are two Lloydminsters. That's nothing unusual in North America. Canadian-American border passes through many small towns, and many streets in these town, and many ... houses on these streets. Some Canadian or American citizens have to go through the Custom before they can go to the bathroom. It's pretty normal and nobody cries because of small difficulties. It's America, land of ..., yes, you guessed, discoveries.
The Alberta's town has population of circa 13 000, while Saskatchewan's one only about 8 000. The taxes in Alberta are lower, the food, goods and services are less expensive, the town is prettier, and the people ... well, the are people everywhere.
So what is the reason that Saskatchewan's Lloydminster still exists? Why didn't all of them move to the paradise?
Notify me please if you know the answer. Thanks. |
