We've been considering moving back to Canada, but that has been one drawback to the issue, while I would have no problems, Wendy could not work for quite a while. It's a fairly typical rule. The US has similar laws as does the EU and almost every other country. larry > -Original Message-

47 percent support sovereignty association, not independence. Only 28% according to the poll you cited support independence. There is a difference. SA means that they would still be in a health care, economic and tax union. In other words they want all the benefits of being in Canada without any o

There is a similar tax in the US on blank tapes and such..you just hear about it more up here. I think there is something out there similar to what you are talking about. I remember seeing a device on TechTV some time ago that interfaced with your car stereo. When a song or product came on, you w

I am not sure what you think may statement is. I am one of those inbetween people myself. My point is that 47% support sovereignty, which to me means Quebec as a separate country. The numbers drop into the 20s for the English-speaking population, which is only to be expected. The numbers also drop

You could try listening to NPR. They regularly have stories that talk about cool things people do. But then again, those liberals are all puppy kissers that believe people can actually be good. Except for the local weather and the Sunday shows where they actually talk to a primary source, I don't

Larry, Actually, I am glad the referendum was defeated as this makes the best economic sense for both Quebec and Canada. Furthermore I think some of the language laws are rather silly, such as requiring French on signs in Chinatown. However, to describe the PQ's policies as "ethnic cleansing" wit
