Actually, you got that backwards. The WTO has ruled a number of times that Canada isn't dumping softwood on the market and that the billions in tarriffs that the US has been collecting is illegal and owned back to the Canadian lumber companies.
I have to agree with you on this. I have checked out the Darwin bag and it looks to be a great bag for carrying a laptop and iPod in when travelling. Nice and padded. I have been tempted to pick it up for biking to work since I want my laptop a little more cusioned than it is in my bike saddle bags.
MEC is a great store for anything outdoors. For any Non-Canadians, just hink EMS with a Co-op type strategy and environmentalist slant.
I have read Douglas Adams, Herbert, Heinlein (good when he isn't obsessing with sex), Card (Ender's Game IS that good), Gibson, etc. but dont' want to suggest any of that stuff because as a slashdot reader you most likely have already read it.
I just finished reading the new Margaret Atwood novel Oryx and Crake. I have to say I was pleasently suprised, not normally being a fan of hers (even though I am Canadian and should be for patriotic reasons). It deals with the results of playing to much with nature but has an underlieing story of how misfits deal with life.

I was really hoping that the quesiton whould be asked on when they would start selling them in Canada (It's not like we are some far flung third world country is it?)

Does this mean William Gibson is right and the future will be full of Chinese "Ice"?
