Re: dental poll

Re: Cisco professionals

Whoa - loaded question! It's been said many times before - it all depends on where you want to go in Canada and if you're a flexible kind of person.

Re: Unsure where to go

Oops apple ogies Mr Mike, if I offended you! Yes of course many people live in the a.e.o.n and love it. It's not for me but it's all about choices. I'm a city kid so Maple Ridge is the a.e.o.n for...

Re: GM laying off 30,000 by 2008

Yes indeedy, that's probably a big reason why they ain't selling tanks, I mean cars, anymore. The world is changing and if people don't want to stop buying gas guzzlers for the environment's sake...

Re: GM laying off 30,000 by 2008
