I paid US$3.18/US gallon yesterday on the way home, which works out to $US0.85/L. It's slightly less than the $CA1.05/L ($US1.00/L) I pay in Canada. It wasn't that long ago when gasoline in the US was half the price that it was in Canada.
I happen to support left-side driving. I like shifting with my left hand, steering with my knee and holding the CDMA mobile phone with my right hand. If you can think of a more efficient way to drive, I'd like to know.
I bought a printer from Bestbuy and the sales dude told me I needed to buy a USB cable. When I told him, that I had a few spare cables, he told me that I needed a special printer USB cable. I then asked him what the U in USB meant.
Try getting carded in the US with a Quebec driver's licence. What were they thinking when they designed it? The ID is in French and there is no explicit birth date on it. The last six digits are my birth date. I've never been turned down for alcohol (I'm 37), but it is a nuisance explaining and apologising for the stupidity of my (adopted) province's government.
I am no lawyer, but I do watch Law & Order (duh duh) and have seen cases where cases were won based in evidence that would not be valid if the police obtained it or if the citizen was an agent for the police. They may be able to get the judge, but as no good deed goes unpunished, so should cracker dude.
We will just have to go to old rhetoric. I don't know anyone who has been murdered, been in jail or been denied medical coverage because they had no insurance.
Tell me about it. I have a spare XR9 satellite radio because I bid on three expecting to get maybe one. That being said, that radio has been discontinued and I have cradles at home, in the car and at work and a boombox at home. If either of my current radios croak, at least I don't have to buy a bunch of new hardware.
Shock and Awe on Ottawa!!!! If those hosers are stealing our intellectual property then this means war!!! Let's go get 'em for the RIAA and MPAA boys! It won't be over til it's over over there! Please wait until 5:30 so that I can get over the bridge to Gatineau before the shock & awe.
Hmm....so what will happen...an AMC 24 multiplesx will open in Ogdensburg NY.....I don't know if a 1h drive from Ottawa is worth it for 'filmed entertainment'. I think that there is a theatre in Massena NY, but that's another 30min driving and the border crossing there is always busy.
hahaha...that's funny. You are joking....aren't you? Call me crazy, but I am sure that a bigger reason for more crime in warmer areas is that there are more people. With more people there is more anonymity. That's why cities tend to have higher crime rates than small towns. You combine that with poverty and discrimination (real or perceived), you get trouble.
And from what I've been reading, it's not helping kids from the UK either. There have been reports of texting gibberish starting to appear in homeworks and test papers in schools already. It's not even that surprising. After you typed "skewl" a thousand times online and on the phone, you're already more used to that spelling than to "school."
I am over 30 and live in one of the cities on the list (Gatineau QC and work in another Ottawa ON). I also go to college part time studying programming. Last semester, I did a group project and we had a real client. It distressed me that the instructor had to tell the class that she wanted class members to communicate using with that client fully spelt out English. UR is not an acceptable acronym for 'You are'.
m8 - could be mweet (bird sounds) or mocho (manly man type person or behaviour). I only know three languages so I can't repeat macht so I can't run with this too much.
I like the way metric/imperial measure is done in Canada. While "officially" we are metric. Road signs are in km and km/h. Temperatures are done in C, except in Windsor ON. Extremely large or extremely small values are metric "Human" sizes seem to have remained imperial. If you tell someone you are 165cm tall, they will give you a blank stare and cars are advertised with MP(US)G ratings even though we never used American gallons. You still buy 2x4s (not 5x10s). Wall studs are 16" apart, not 40cm.
There's ample evidence to show that The US, Canada, Spain, Bulgaria, New Zealand, Australia, and most of the rest of the world that doesn't have a public service broadcaster licence fee have had trouble dealing with war and catastrophies, and lost their independence. Right?
I wouldn't be surprised if Canada joins the list of countries that charge a licence for telly-o-vision. The English CBC TV network only makes money from Coronation Street and Hockey Night in Canada and they are going to lose hockey to CTV/TSN soon (I think). The CBC is going to need money to keep crap like 'Royal Canadian Air Farce' on while cancelling good programming like 'This is Wonderland'.
There's only one scandal that ends in gate, Watergate.
That's good. What would they call a scandal that involved a piece of fence, hinged on one side so it can open and close with a latch and/or lock on the other side?

It's too late. Hockey has started. Canadians will get back to the rest of the world in June.
People are licenced, vehicles are registered.
Ottawa Ontario does. http://www.friendsofthefarm.ca/aboutthefarm.htm

Maybe someone should create an fair-trade gold business where the farmers get paid a fair wage.
I agree with you.
Yeah, but you didn't click the 'I agree' button.I bought a printer from Bestbuy and the sales dude told me I needed to buy a USB cable. When I told him, that I had a few spare cables, he told me that I needed a special printer USB cable. I then asked him what the U in USB meant.

I would think that it is essential to be a man completely bereft of morals and ethics in order to become President.

Am I scrolling backwards and forwards or has this been posted more than repeatedly?

but Americans don't like stuff made elsewhere.

It's défense in French. We are just pissing the French off by using a 'c'.
Finding Tim Horton's is easy. Close your eyes and throw a rock. Where it lands is either a Tim Horton's or a future Tim Hortons location.

If Canadians speak adequate English, then I fear what passes for American English.
