That's mezcal for you. If you can't find the bottle, you've had enough

Hey, if it's a clear night out your way, and you can either stay up long enough or get up real early, the Perseid meteor shower should be happening around 4 am..

It'll be peaking on the morning of the 12th, but there should be a good show even now. Look to the east, to the left of Mars

I'm Chupito(U831240),I'm french but I'm in Quebec city for a year, could you sign me up please?

You should probably consider it done.

And, Welcome.

great, so the main thread is the chief gordon isn't it?

It is....

Ooooh, Quebec City in the fall! One of my favorite places/seasons. Take a drive from Quebec City to Montreal when the leaves are changing -- c'est formidable!

"c'est formidable!"

As are the Quebec motorists, I recall..

Those controlling motor cars in la belle province do NOT drive too fast -- they simply fly too low.

i'm in. I'm from the mythical town of Ottawa, where MP's, Backbenchers, and the Liberal party reign supreme.

Indeed you are in, Lode007 -- you're on the list.

Welcome. We seem to have been a little quiet the last little while. Perhaps hibernation is beginning.

What? Did someone say something?







Hi, and welcome, eh? to 'Club Canada', Lode007

Lode077 I am also in Ottawa

Lode007 I mean

As the Dalai Lama is now an honourary Canadian citizen, it's only right that he should alo be an honourary Canadian Researcher?

*****

The Canadian House of Commons has voted to give honouurary Canadian citizenship to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Nelson Mandela and Raoul Wallenberg are the only other honourary Canadian Citizens.

The following is from the House of Commons release:

39th Parliament, 1st Session
Edited Hansard o Number 046

Thursday, June 22, 2006
The Speaker: [English]

We have a request from the hon. member for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet

Mr. David Sweet (Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale, CPC): Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the various parties and I believe that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion:

That, whereas Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet, has been recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize as one of the world's leading champions of peace and non-violence; and

Whereas His Holiness the Dalai Lama will visit Canada from September 9th to the 11th of this year; and

Whereas this House has previously acknowledged historic visits to Canada by other leading champions of human dignity, such as Raoul Wallenberg and Nelson Mandela, by adopting motions granting them "honorary Canadian citizenship";

Therefore, this House resolves to bestow the title "honorary Canadian citizen" on His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet.

The Speaker: Does the hon. member for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale have the unanimous consent of the House to propose this motion?

Some hon. members: Agreed.

(Motion agreed to)

No question(mark), eh

What ho! I'd not mind joining up here, I'm from Hamilton, Ontario, myself. I'll take any chance I can get to hang around with my fellow Canadians on the internet

You're in!


Seems like most everybody has been kind of absent the last little bit. Perhaps it's the summer holidays.


I'm sure if we're patient people will trickle back as we get closer to winter.

Calamity of the North- Unconventional would like to join.

Canadian Bacon for all and to all Canadian Bacon-
I'm from the Niagara realm, anything else I need to do to become an inductee? Perhaps drink an entire iced-cap in one sipping for the sheer intensity of the brainfreeze associated with it.

Nope -- don't need to do anything more. I've taken care of it.

I'm a Canadian living in Georgia, USA but I grew up in Smiths Falls, Ontario. One of these days my wife and I will move back to Canada, maybe to Brockville or Kingston.
