Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

The Alexander Keiths Brewery. Pouring a pint of the red ale.

Hi you all Sorry about the ending of the last blog. I'm not sure what really happened.... So Yesterday I walked from 9am to 3pm. I sat down for 12 mins to eat a salad and a smoked salmon spring roll. The sun was out but unfortunatly so was the wind. I have been wearing sun block on my face but I am still getting a sun glass tan. I think that it is wind burn though. Anyhow I left the hotel and walked about and hour and a half to the Hydostone market. This area was completely rebuild post Halifax [View Full Entry]

Poor Brett he seems to be working harder than he thought he would be. Yesterday he went from 7:30 to 5pm. We met up at the room at 5. By this time I had already had an hour nap. HEEHEE!!! Unfortunatly we are alittle a head of the tourist season so most of the tourist spots we want to visit are closed by 5pm. We did manage to get to MEC yesterday. We both [View Full Entry]

We only had about 45 mins in TO. Just enough time for Brett and I to spllit a pita and an ice tea. Later we would be very glad that we [View Full Entry]
