these days people do not buy insurances for a day trip or even longer
trip. I have seen many people saying that is just a insurance, but
still that is why people do need insurance for just in case. Why
people coming to Canada (not just only Americans, but other people)
stoped to buy insurance?? If you need some, there are so many
packeages you can purchase without waiting time. http:www/biis/ca

Because most of us that have insurance are covered in Canada. And we would
buy from somebody who could actually spell if we need to purchase insurance.
Might mean their brain works and had not been affected by SPAM.

Canadians sure do talk funny.


Ever consider English as a second language? He probably speaks French. We
are a bilingual country you know.


Now that brings up an interesting point. I've made a number of trips to
Canada, the early ones to Bristish Columbia and Alberta. Strolling along
the grocery shelves, I was amused to find that each and every labeled item
had both English and French descriptions/writings. Clearly, thought I, the
influence of the French in Canada...even though I heard no French
spoken...truly the mark of a bilingual country.

Then I some years later happened to visit Quebec province and took a
similar stroll in the groceries there. Lo and behold - the same items
labeled in both English and French in the wesern provinces were labeled only
in French! So - what gives? A dual standard?

You got that right. I live in British Columbia and Federal law says
groceries must be bilingual. Companies are supposed to have a bilingual
employee and all government offices do. But we do have a double standard.
One language rule for Quebec and another for the rest of us. Actually Quebec
is supposed to do it too, but they won't and the Fed's don't want to upset
them in case they go on another secession kick.

No, just hypocrisy. The ****ing idiots in the Quebec government get all
whacked out over English, but have no trouble at all decreeing French
only;....all over the place, The SOONER, that Quebec GETS THE **** out of MY
CANADA, the better.
