Try looking up her parents on www.canada411.ca If they have a listed telephone number, they'll be there.

I was going to say something, but Perun already said it better than I can. You should look Vivian up sometime and phone or email her. If you think about her and her family, I bet they think of you too.

i heard an interesting quote about the nature of religious freedom in the United States. It's from a television show, of all things: To be a person of faith is to have the world challenge that faith. Was the universe designed by God? That's up to everyone in this country to decide for...

Ahh....that makes a bit more sense. Forgive me, then, for jumping to conclusions.

Though I understand why you and the professor did that, Perun, doesn't it seem the least bit disturbing to know that you've been dishonest in your work? Showing the the problems with the system is one thing, but deliberately misleading people is unbecomming of a scholar. It's not so bad with...

Ahhh, Wikiality is a grand thing. When grading student essays, I tell that Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source of information. I do offer a caveat in my tutorial sessions though - (as Onhell said) sometimes they have links to very good (and reputable) references at the bottom.

I'd have to go with Iced Earth

Drink one for me!

I watched it, and I think the guy's conclusions speak for themselves. What especially resonated with me was the part where he said (paraphrasing) "Don't wait for someone else to do it. If you have a solution, go and do it yourself!" Also poignant was his observation that during the past 95...

First - this wasn't the decision of the GOVERNMENT of Canada, nor even that of a provincial government. It was the judge (I could be arguing semantics, but I think its important). As for the actual topic at hand - The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the basic law upon which all Canadian...

In my part of Canada we do the same thing. Hunting is part of our culture.  I've had many opprotunities to shoot a deer, but I'm too awed by them when I actually get them in my sights (yeah, I'm a bit of a softie). I've bagged plenty of rabbits, though.

Here in Newfoundland, Canada the snow is at an average depth of 3 feet after two weeks of fairly warm weather melting it. We have another storm forcasted for tomorrow morning though. The drifts can get as high as 7 or 8 feet, and the sides of the streets have banks higher than that from the...

"The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."  - Pierre E. Trudeau "It is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist...

I suggest you read your history books more closely. Horatio Nelson never led an army. He was an admiral, meaning he was in charge of a group of armed sea-going ships called a "Navy". As for the broader topic, my stance (and one increasingly held by academic historians) is this: No event of the...

Wow guys....my problems don't seem that bad now. Thanks for putting things into perspective!

Re: Racism and myself Well, considering that homosexuals don't constitute a race, I don't think your're racist. You are, however, closed-minded and inherently intolerant. Try to overcome it - I did.

Gee, you'd almost think they wanted tax and gambling money.... Nova Scotia recently enacted a similar ban, though much more stringent. You're not allowed to smoke in any area defined as a "public space" which includes private clubs, restaurants, bars, pubs, you name it. The legislation was...

CBC TV has begun a new sitcom series called "Little Mosque on the Prairie". It's about a community of Muslims who have located themselves in a small town in rural Saskatchewan and are coping with the every-day realities of being a Muslim Canadian in a post-9/11 world. They joke about religion -...

We could examine this from an evolutionary perspective: It could be that people in developed countries (i.e. White countries plus Japan) are having fewer children in order to take car eof them better. A couple in the West and Japan can have one baby and be reasonably sure that their genes will...

Free will does not exist. It is an illusion. Fate is ALL there is, though it's not decided by anything except the fundamentla laws of the universe (whatever those may be) The brain is a machine which is governed by the same laws of physics as anything else. All human action and thought...
