Post #87,351 by jake123 3/11/03 1:11:23 PM Reply	:) You'd probably have a hard time getting in, anyway. One of the big debates going on up here now is around how we've changed our immigration/refugee policy at the behest of the US (in order to keep an open border); it includes automatic detention for refugees. --\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \r\n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \r\n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #87,376 by admin 3/11/03 1:53:01 PM Reply	Yeah, right. The exchange rate ruins that. People in Canada work in the States because they get paid more, both in dollar amounts and because of the exchange rate. The cost of living is lower in Canada, so it's a big win. The exact same forces prevent US workers from doing the same; it isn't economically feasible. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

The answer is always a mix of doubts and impossible roadblocks. IOW, multiculturalism is fine, unless you're white, western, and male. -drl Edited by deSitter March 11, 2003, 02:20:32 PM EST Expand All History

It is usually known as no-man's land and people met there to duel because the state and federal laws didn't apply there. The United States Of deSitter, population 1. Build a lean-to, and elect yourself as President and then apply to the UN for membership. Print up your own money using an Inkjet or Laserjet printer. Either that or apply for a Reality TV show and get relocated for a few months to someplace else and hope you don't get voted off. Canada don't want you, how about Mexico? Learn to speak Spanish and get a job at one of the many factories there. We stop them from coming into the US, but not from leaving the US to Mexico. Bring as many US Dollars as you can to Mexico, enough to buy some land and a house, with money left over to bribe the officials to keep you out of jail for being a Gringo. :) [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\| New and improved, Chicken Delvits!]
