Re: Has the Calgary star finally dimmed?

I wouldn't be making the comment if I did the same now eh?

Besides, that's not the big issue. If someone's tickled pink with Calgary I'd love to hear it. Perhaps it's just a mid-winter funk, but...

Has the Calgary star finally dimmed?

Re: Information on living in Northamptonshire

Re: 1987 migrant to Toronto mystified by talk of "swapping" UK licence.

Don't know about Ontario, but 10 years ago I was living in Saskatchewan, and I was able to get my Sask drivers licence by simply showing my UK licence (didn't even need to take a test). They took a...

Re: Looking for Start In Oil and Gas Industry

One correction to earlier post –

It should read ‘Fort McMurray’ not Fort MacLeod.

Re: Phone Canada to U.K.

I use Yak. I've not had any serious problems with it and there's no contract. ;)

Any comments...
