Re: Canada judged as having most positive influence in the world
Well reading through this it would appear..
Some Canadians are no better at dealing with criticism that their southern cousins
One step closer towards the US
Lack of a decent apology when proven wrong, another step closer to the US

... but tattletaling is okay in real life? I realize that there are cultural differences at play here since you were raised in the UK, but generally, Canadian children are taught that tattletaling is unacceptable and childish behavior. Ergo, I think you have things turned around Steve.

If you consider me to be a tattletale then that is your prerogative.

And perhaps wondering why a born and bred Canadian who has never mentioned a connection to the UK bothers to hang around a british expats forum in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't you have any Canadian friends?

It would be great response on dial up but I'm in the office with several T somethings and an ultra-bit twin cam wossname at my disposal. You're right though, having some acres will be great until the animals start arriving.

Has it occurred to you that it's almost nine o'clock and you're facing something like a four day drive back to the boonies?

And, in the spirit of OMDX's viscious little tantrum against wor Iain, why are you in the office at this time of night and wasting time on here?

Re: Canada judged as having most positive influence in the world
Indeed it has. It seems to me that long distance commuters should either go into some line of work with regular hours or they should arrange some sort of proper internet connection at home so as to be able to go in less often.
