Theft of metals is so common in Canada that they use the slang term
"urban mining"...

Canada has urban areas to mine? I thought it was wheatfields, hockey sticks
and tar sands with a chewy French center called Quebec and designated
dummies known as Newfies who are the butts of dozens of Canadian jokes.

I suppose we shouldn't tease our northern brothers. If global warming turns
out to be true, they'll be in the new temperate zone. Refugees will be
fleeing Arizona which has a history of becoming completely unliveable every
thousand years or so.
