As long as you don't sell them or give them away, then it's not a problem.

Re: Transitioning from teaching in a UK secondary school to teaching elementary in Ca

My wife and I taught in the UK from 1993 to 2007 ..... moved to BC in late 2007.

Re: Dr Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada

Re: Dr Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada

I doubt it's quite as black/white as that but on balance, yes, I'd say I'm pro-choice. I would never choose an abortion myself but I'm glad that others have the choice to make as they wish.

Re: Dr Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada

I agree. The appointment is politically driven. Not by any 'organised' political party, but certainly by a political 'movement'. Who is it who's doing the "letting"?

Re: Dr Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada

Should the Order of Canada be based on a referendum? My point was that the appointment of the award polarises opinion in Canada in a way that Geddy Lee's (two concerts, do I get a Purple Heart??)...

Re: Dr Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada

I think a better way of describing it would be "Canada's abortion laws aren't as they aren't largely because of Morgentaler's efforts".

Canada has no abortion law. No abortion law whatsoever.

Re: Quick (and simple?) question

Yep, it's a P85 form that you need to fill in. Don't worry though, it'll be a nice litttle earner of about £400 rebate that you can get back. I'm not entirely sure that you can backclaim, but I'd...

Re: Best Banks in Canada!

I don't mind being charged for going overdrawn (without authorisation) but regular fees for regular transactions are something that I don't think I'll ever be able to stomach. :mad:

Everyone expects GBP to go above US$2 by the end of the year and once that happpens, CDN$2.30 can't be too far away. I'm holding out too.
