Canadian Karma Draw

Recommended Posts

After finding out that I wasn't eligible to play with the Yanks in their Karma games, I wondered if there were enough interested Canucks to start a new game and show them how it's done?

If you have reasonably worthwhile kite related item that you are willing to mail to some lucky winner in this great country of ice & snow (Vancouver & Victoria excepted), chime in on this thread and we will see if we can make this go. There needs to be about a dozen of us to make it interesting otherwise it will be pretty incestuous. If you win the draw, you put up the next prize to give away, and round the circle of karma goes.

What do you think? Active Canadians out there?

If you have a few kites you don't use and don't mind giving away, there are always the kids who show some interest at your local parks. Get some more kids started out and in 5 years you'll have 50 people addicted. I do it as often as possible.

Maybe the question should be why are our friends to the north (or Alaska and Hawaii for that matter) are excluded. Perhaps a willingness to pay the shipping difference should allow inclusion. I'll certainly include that clause if I ever get to offer a prize again.

That was the feeling I had, and I offered to pay shipping. But after a few messages with the Karma Guru and JB, the details of international postage & customs etc. soon became significant barriers. Next time you're at the PO. look a the price of a 1 lb parcel - pretty steep across the border compared to across the 48. So they suggested I see if I could drum up enough to get a parallel idea going, but the two week prognosis tells me that there aren't enough actives to make a go of it.

Sorry, I'm allergic to guns and most Republicans, although I would like the weather better most of the time. Honestly, without going all political, things became really strange after 9/11 and it just isn't as comfortable as it was. The Americans I meet outside their country when I travel are pretty nice folks & I get along fine with them, but at home, the herd mentality seems to take over and it isn't pretty. I guess I'm a born & bred socialist up here.

I'd have to move right through to Mexico to get the weather, but then I would be diving instead of kite flying.

(This post is not meant to be offensive, especially to all the nice folks on this forum!)

I haven't been following the 'Karma' threads since I am not in the US and I only visit the forum a couple of times a week (not just this one, all the forums that i follow). If a Canadian thread is maintained and active, I will follow it and possibly contribute.

I could be mistaken (bbailey might correct me), but I believe Karma drawings are now open to all of North America... ?

Spot on, JB. Members from Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to help cover half of the shipping costs. Please join us. There's a pretty nice Rev drawing open for entry right now.
