Well done.

I am often puzzled by both American foreign policy as well as Canadian immigration laws. The hoops that one must jump through in order to leave one country to live in another is unnecessary. Well done, a very clever and insightful piece.

Hilarious story, important message

A very funny story given in the form of a rambling, nervous man. He sounds like a crazy paranoid -- but everything he says is true.

Get your dimes out for "call to canada"

I understand the division of voices among the reviewers: Voice mail is the missing chapter from Dante's Inferno. Still, a little trim from the discussion of refugee status wouldn't hurt. We get the point pretty quickly.

Still, this is a story that could be rolled out every 3 or 4 months under current circumstances and listeners will be laughing/crying. Ask for permission to cut and trim -- the grass angle goes on too long.

All in all, a lovely concept, nicely done.
