>>> Dennis Menard on Quebec 
 WE> No but it wants to refuse education to children of illegal immigrants.
 DM> In Quebec, non-English-speaking immigrants are denied admittance to
 DM> English schools; sometimes, even English-speaking immigrants. 
 DM> Democracy? 
Why not, don't you have to speak English to benefit from an English school?  
But why English speaking immigrants?  English flap?  Isn't Quebec on a French 
flap?  'Press 1 for service in French, 2 for service in English.'  English 
translation given after the French translation.  That's my experience with 
companies in Quebec.  So I press two and inquire, '?Hablas es Espaniol, 
Senor?' -)
 DM> I'll be applying for citizenship in New Zealand.  :)
In a warm country like that you'd melt. -)
 
 DM> We have health-food stores ... no co-ops, though.  Please, keep in
 DM> mind that what I describe applies to  area (the Yukon, 60d+N lat);
Gosh, I bet apples are a dollar each and this time of year fresh vegetables 
are a dream.  But wait, isn't this the land that grows huge cabbages?  What 
else?  Elk, natural organic food.  Gosh I don't know how I'd survive in the 
Yukon.  Had occasion to talk to a vegetarian who visited a friend for a work 
jog.  It lasted a week or so and vitals were elk.  He had little trouble 
shifting gears.  Oh well, good neighbors in the North is more important than 
the right religion.
 DM> And we can't really be compared to Alaska, either;
 DM> our only coastline is the Arctic coast and costs by air, truck are not
 DM> inexpensive (ie, large concern).  :) 
Hm, you're closer to the US, than I am in Portland Ore.  Just a hop over the 
Elias mountains in stead of a long boring freeway drive. -)
This
 DM> morning, New Year's Day, it's -34 C, and dropping, although we're told
 DM> to expect it to warm up by the weekend ... and that's tomorrow!  :) 
 DM> It's exhilarating weather for cross-country skiing and ski-dooing and
 DM> winter camping
Hm, about -30 F.  Is this cold enuf for your spit to crack?
 DM> ... I'd change the world but I can't find the source code.
... Give me a place to speak and I will move the world.
