Good for you. I wouldn't hire you, but if you had an English degree I'd probably hire you for a software development job.
It's not the education that you get at university that I'd be looking for. What it is, is that you GOT a University degree. You showed that you have a work ethic and are less likely to slack off.
I'm Canadian. I am from Saskatchewan, but I'm going to University in Alberta. The difference here is amazing. Albertans don't take as much in their Collegiates (High schools), but they do take more in University that is related to their field. At the University of Calgary, we take nothing that isn't related to engineering. No arts, no philosophy, on English, no French, etc. The people at the University of Saskatchewan take like 3 arts credits and English. So here it varies by province, you can't say "Canada is like....". I assume that it works the same way in the US, varying by states.
I'm taking Comp Eng. I learned about all that stuff, without taking French art. Hell, I don't even take English until year 3. And even then I can go with either official language (French or English). We took what most places would call "University level" English in grade 11, so no need to take a refresher for a while.
The fact that the music industry is now forced to take measures to protect their own existence does NOT constitute an inferior product, simply because it makes its theft more difficult.
But they're taking away my right to do something that is perfectly legal in my country, make a copy of a CD(Or other audio recording) for my personal use. You know that levy that Canadians pay on blank CDs? Well, you can bet your ass that I'll fight it if I can't make a LEGAL copy of my legally purchased CD.
the act of reproducing all or any substantial part of a musical work embodied in a sound recording, onto an audio recording medium for the private use of the person who makes the copy does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the musical work, the performer's performance or the sound recording.
Subsection 2 limits this, ie: you can't perform it in public etc. Things that should be illegal.
I say, why bother with a national ID card, why not just tattoo an ID number on everyone's arm and get it over with.
The governments know Revelations. They would know what that would mean to a signifigant percentage of the population. It just seems too much like the Mark of the Beast.
There is a strain that grows in some parts of Saskatchewan that is purple. The skin is dark purple, and the inside looks like potatos with kool-aid mixed in. They taste just like normal potatos.
So somebody who isn't over the age of 18 shouldn't be able to claim to be a Christian because they're "too young to know any better"?
That's the funny thing about the age of majority. Apparently, before the age of majority, people are considered too young to know better.. but when they hit 18 (varies from country to country, it's 18 in Canada) a magic switch turns on in their brain that makes them understand what they're doing. Odd, isn't it?
Well, here is the entire Canadian constitution. Here is a site that explains how Canada's justice system works. Remember that most of Canada's justice works on a federal level, so you don't have to look up the sites of the provincial governements. Look at the Criminal Code of Canada, it's our main source of law in this country, notice that there are hate crime laws, and also laws about invasion of privacy.
Well, he was inciting revolution. What do you expect a government to do? Even the US government would stop violent revolutionaries.

If you really believe that, why don't you post it like a man, as a non-AC? Right now you sound like a racist white american. (Note the non-capatalised "american". It's a sign of disrespect of this incdividual, non all Americans)
Why is it that the Americans can understand that French law is not the same as American law, but not that Canadian law is different?
Anyway, here are highlights of the differences:
1) Criminal law is federal.
2) Courts all represent "Her Majesty The Queen"
3) If the sentance is 2 years they go to a federal pen.
5) Nobody gets a criminal record for commiting a provincial crime.
6) We have "Crown Prosecutors" not "District Attourneys"
7) We call the judge "My Lord" for a man, and "My Lady" for a woman, and collectively "His/Her Lordship".
8) Minimum and maximum sentences are all federal and different from the American's.
9) We don't have a 5th ammendment, but an equivalent. Here we can make you testify, but what you say can't be used against you in a following trial unless it's for purgury.
10) I can't think of any more to summarise, but there are many more.
1) This is Canada. Nearly all "juvies" are Federal.
2) In Canada you are forced to go to school in "juvy"
3) We don't have states. We have provinces. Difference? Not much except the provinces don't have much power, and can't keep citizens of this country in just one. You can be confined to your city, though. But I think that's been challenged under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (One of the documents that form the Canadian constitution)
Can't speak for Quebec, but in Saskatchewan we don't have "proms". We do however have the graduation dance/hugeass illegal drunken barn dance parties that are sponsored by the government.
Considering there is no such thing as "Felon" in Canada. We don't have the American "Misdomeanor" and "felony"s... we have summary (less than two years), indictable (more than two years), and hybrid or dual-procedure (one trial to determine if the crime is summary or indictable, and the actual trial)
That's not entirely true. The record is hidden, which means that it is effectivly erased and cannot be used against you, but the RCMP-GRC can look it up. But private citizens and non-national law enforcement cannot look it up.
For the greif he have done to me and others the 8
months and $160 USD is not enough, he should have
paid least 10% $1.7B USD and then put to jail for least
2 years.
FYI, 160USD is not what you think. It's just like $250USD in the States. The Canadian dollar has as much buying power (in Canada) as does the US dollar (in the US). Here, a $15USD CD still costs $15, not $24 or whatever the equivalent is.
And to be put in jail for 2 years, he needed to commit 1) an Indictable offence, which you Americans would call a felony and 2) whould have had to do it as a non young offender.
If you hadn't gotten involved in WWII, the war would have taken longer. The commonwealth forces were still reasonably strong after the Battle of Britain. With the Canadian/British navies we could have squeesed Germany as they were trying to do with us with their navy. We had air supremicy after the BOB, but the troops weren't there.

From the Copyright Act, Section 80, Subsection 1:the act of reproducing all or any substantial part of a musical work embodied in a sound recording, onto an audio recording medium for the private use of the person who makes the copy does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the musical work, the performer's performance or the sound recording.
Subsection 2 limits this, ie: you can't perform it in public etc. Things that should be illegal.You mean "Compact Disc"? :)
I don't think you have to register XP in Canada. Correct me if I am wrong, though. I believe that would be a violation of the Privacy Act of 2000.

Not so much. They will probably still be legal in Canada, Europe, Mexico, everywhere else.... The US can't kill it on its own.
Just getting random points about differences between Canada's legal system in where I can. That's all.
Oops I fscked up. 2 years for a provincial. 3+ for a federal pen!

In Canada it would be "My lord....." not "Your Honour"

That's not just Quebec. Most (if not all) other provinces do that too.

Yes he can, as long as he was put there before his 18th birthday. Read the Young Offenders Act.
