Even mentioning 'Gomery' puts you in the Canadian bracket, and probably even a secret Quebeker. Most Canadians don't care what goes on in the Gomery trial (BTW, for non-Canadians, the Gomery inquiry is what one Globe and Mail writer has called 'our Watergate'.) Difference is, nobody here is all that interested, and by the way, haven't you noticed how it's warming up? Hmm, Canada in the springtime... Don't show general ignorance. Canadians know about the Manitoba Telephone System (my ISP) - now privatized, but once run by the Manitoba Guv'ment - because there were NO investors who wanted to "risk' their capital on a venture as foolish as a telephone system. What does "most" mean? Any empirical data to support your claim? You still have not answered my question as to why names are needed? Setting up someone for a libel suit are you?? And where is "here"? I did not realize you were in Winnipeg - the "here" of which I speak. But then I have been mistaken before - usually by idle chatter/white noise. I was under the impression that I am here and you are "there". Time to move on to something a bit more useful - like planning my next trip to the USA next Saturday. Just for a few hours and then come back here. |
