It sure seems like it does to you and a few other people who claim that it doesn't. Why not simply ignore it? The guy has one thread in which he posts video's that he made for others who may want to see them. It doesn't matter what you think of them, just don't watch them, but you can't help yourself can you? You sit waiting in the weeds for him to post so that you can watch it and then bitch at him for posting it. You are not alone. Why are you and a few others going out of your way on a witch hunt?

**** me! This is priceless. Don't ask me why, but I found this video hilarious.

I must admit I often had one of those OAP moments at the checkout. You know, carefully examining each coin one by to the collective irritation of the entire shop. If only this video had been made 5 years ago.

What, no $50 or $100 bills !!
Maybe you could also tell your audience that, in every day usage, we refer to the coins as a penny, (1 cent) a nickel (5 cents) a dime (10 cents) and a quarter (25 cents) as well as the Loony and the Twony.

I once ordered: "Large coffee, with milk and 1 sugar, please?". When I got back to the office and opened the coffee, it looked very weak. When I tasted it they'd actually given me "Green Tea", with Milk no less! I know people have a hard time understanding me, but who drinks green tea with milk!?

Wow the First bit of usefull info on this thread and with out the help of You Tube.. Kudos

We're the Peoples Front of Judea!

Oh not a Front for the peoples of Judea

I've seen the light and changed my mind. These posts and videos are an invaluable resource for people from away. These should be added to the wiki. Kudos to those involved.

I did that too when I first came here. I think people thought I was retarded.

Education in Canada

Is provided, funded and overseen by federal, provincial, and local governments. Education is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province. Education in Canada is generally divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary. Within the provinces under the ministry of education, there are district school boards administering the educational programs.

Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14.

Canada generally has 190 school days in the year, officially starting from September (after Labor Day) to the end of June (usually the last Friday of the month, except in some cases in Quebec when it is just before June 24 – the provincial holiday).

This will be the last one posted on BE until the vote me, off/on expats thread has come to an end on June 10, 2010.
I had to post this one as my good friend NOVO CATION has a guest appearance.

Thankyou

You know there is a wiki for this sort of info. It makes it easier to find stuff instead of trawling threads. It's at the top of the page.

I actually chuckled at this. Can I change my vote from the nuclear annihilation vote? This is getting good!

So did I. I chuckled at the fact that our Private Defective thinks I really am Albert.

Don't know about other provinces, but grade 9 in BC is middle school, not secondary.
