Even Schumacher (who loves to fall back on the "my car is inferior" line) has admitted that, at least at certain times, he has had the better car this year.
I'd be willing to bet that Villeneuve (you're forgiven) would give it a go. He's got a slight geeky side to him, and he's unconventional enough to do it regardless of the opinions of his peers.
Disclaimer: This is not a political endorsement of PET. Just a clarification of some facts.
Speak of what you know.
The October Crisis was far more than a local kidnapping. The War Measures Act was brought into effect *in Quebec* in response to terrorist activity (including, but not limited to, bombs), and the kidnapping of two political figures (leading to the murder of one). It was only after reflecting on the second request from (then) Quebec Premier Bourassa that Trudeau introduced War Measures.
The increase in national debt was lower, on a per capita basis, than similar increases in industrialised nations world-wide. Canada's debt as it stands today is mostly attributable to the Mulroney era.
While Trudeau does hold some responsibility for alienating the West, that was an inevitability. Such is the nature of a large, diverse populace.
Please don't compare Ronald Reagan to the man who (for better or for worse) shaped the modern form of my nation.
Ahhh...I fell into that trap myself once. If you doubt for a second that this startup will hesitate in bleeding you dry and burning you out, wake up. This is a scam that preys on idealistic employees.
Get cut-throat. Your employer will when they tank.
Just a point of order. The Avro Arrow cancellation had nothing to do with risk taking. It was simply a victim of the traditional Tory Kiss-America's-ass factor.
For anyone moderating who doesn't understand, this isn't a troll/flamebait. It's a Canadian political fact.
You seem to be suggesting that Canadians working in the US on TN visas can't bring their families (please, correct me if I read your post wrong). This is simply not the case. I was given the option of attaching my wife and son to my TN. When I asked what it entailed, the response was "nothing". It was simply a yes or no question they asked me.
For the record (the/. record, since you didn't address any of this in your post) I'm on my second TN (after switching jobs), and I'm paid market salary for my position/location. While a TN visa does tie you to a specific employer, switching employers isn't difficult. All it requires are the correct papers (hire letter, credentials, etc) and a trip to a POE.
It's not a list of the most innovative people, it's a list of the most influential people. Positive or negative, Bill Gates has had a considerable infuence on the industry.
I've seen the exact opposite. My friends are leaving Sympatico for cable modems. I had a cable modem (Cogeco@home) installed a while back and have nothing but praise for it. Great ping times, solid bandwidth, and about 3 hours downtime (limited to one incident).
Free installation and first month, and then work will take over from there. Absolutely the best free internet access I've ever had.
Of the certified people I know, about half are competant. Certifications, IMO, are tools to trick HR drones with.
I failed in a lot of job interviews before I noticed a trend. I have *never* interviewed with an IT person and *not* gotten hired. I don't measure my worth by certifications, but I do feel a personal need for them.

In an election where there are five parties capable of gaining seats, a win of 50% (popular vote) or more would be difficult at best.

Don't forget Turbo, which it could use to jump over Schumacher's car.

Actually, Schumacher's antics predate his entry into F1.
I have to think that the computer could never do better than a draw. If it did pass Schumacher, he'd just punt it into the gravel.
That sounds kinda like Gilles Villeneuve.
Apparently, you don't watch F1. Otherwise you'd know of the DC incident at Magny Cours.

No, I didn't know. That was my point. Like I said, it's not a concern for me.
According to the friendly Immigration fellow who handled my last TN, yes. If *he* was wrong, that's no reason to insult *my* intelligence.
See how someone can respond to a differing viewpoint without lowering themselves to insults?

H1-B quotas don't make a lot of difference to Canada's brain drain. NAFTA gives us a better option.

Vikings did settle in North America (no, I'm not of Scandinavian descent).
It's true. There's no tooth fairy.
That's OK. We still have the Easter Bunny.

The concern here for Compaq isn't getting sued by Microsoft. The concern is Microsoft refusing to license Windows to them.
Colons in product/company names could make sense in some cases. Like a proctology practice.

Yes, save us all from the chair-keyboard interface bug.
