Now there is a thought...what if someone (on the list) from each country
made a
commentary like Adrian just did about Canada.  It would give those of us
from
other countrys a "limited" view of where that country might go in the
future...Definitly food for thought for us "TimeLiners".

Definitly.  One must be carefull of where one gets one's truth...

I do have some understanding of that.  Several years ago, my brother and
I sent
for a computer game from a canadian company...The poor guys had to send
it three
times before we received it...Makes me wonder who ended up with the
other two
copies...

(Much interesting snippage here.)

Ah, but a VERY interesting $0.02!  Now I have an idea of what canada is
like...right from the "horse's mouth" as it were...in my opinion, much
better than
getting it "watered down" through the news, ect.

Every time someone tells a story, slight changes appear, so after a
while, the
final story doesn't resemble the original in any way.

(more interesting snippage!)

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter!

(I feel that this is "on topic", because us "time liners" could allways
use stuff
like this in our timelines.)

Thanks again!
