French Canadians view English Canadians the same way English Canadians view Americans.

Canada? For centuries, people on the island of Newfoundland have lived.

USSR? JFK and Reagan defeated the Communists. Nixon and Kissinger lived in a world of "get along".

How many?

I agree. Groot must answer this issue of DST.

Can I trust my kids to take care of me?

Ernest Hemingway wrote for a Toronto newspaper. His comments stand. ======= Toronto is like Chicago: a city on three sides. Toronto without Canada is Detroit.

John, You make two good points: 1. In Canada, we have a byzantine fiscal/tax system that requires - as an individual, in Quebec - two forms. 2. The Quebec government received $14 billion. As an individual, I received nothing from Albertans.

My Rich Uncle? Did he leave me money in his will....

Military defence is different. How? ==== Medically Assisted Death is a person's choice.
