Re: How long to feel Canadian?

You are truly Canadian if you like the Tragically Hip. Sorry, just can't get into them and to me they (and Bryan Adams, Celine Dion) are net beneficiaries of Can Con quotas. I've been here more...

Re: No direct flights from Ottawa to London UK

Good point. I think the OP is closer to Kingston and the train from Toronto to Montreal stops in Kingston and most trains stop at Dorval. An inability to speak french is not an issue at all at...

Re: Car hire in the UK

Re: Life's Turning-Points

I find it one of the more interesting threads on this forum which seems to have less and less traffic these days. I find the main posters input to be interesting to read. I would think that only...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Re: Tip nudges, tipping, etc
