Hello All --
        I had posted this request about a month or two ago and got 
absolutely no response...so here we go again!!
        Does anyone have any information regarding soapstone carvings by 
the Inuit.  During my last few trips to Quebec I have acquired a number 
of these carvings and would like to find to find out more information 
about this art form.  I had an address for a group which supposedly 
represented a number of Inuit artists (the address was in Montreal), but 
my letters have all been returned as "undeliverable".  Any responses 
would be appreciated - E mail is best - but post here if you prefer.  
Thanks/Merci.............and now, back to your regularly scheduled 
newsfeed   ;) ;) ;)
                                Mark

The more this will be used, the more it will increase a reject of
that kind of Canada, i.e. intolerance about right to self-determination
of Quebec, Quebec should not leave or if she does, we will shout, etc.
Not friendly at all, and not inviting.  You should something more
than that, somethings explaining why (if it is because secession of
Quebec will break your country, we have just no reason to see that
and it is arrogance; if you believe that Quebec has some place
and the right to equality or equitability, then maybe something like this
would be acceptable : My Canada includes the Quebec et j'ai appris le
francais pour mieux l'apprecier, or Quebec is my friend because I chose
my friends.  But, who is using the MCITQ logo could say that?

	You can photograph ANYBODY, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, with the
	restrictions: No invasion of personal privacy (i.e. you can't shoot
	into a bedroom window etc.), must be for personal and/or
	private use, and very possibly trespassing on their property. 

	If I walk down the street and say 'Gee I'd like to photograph
	her', and she sees me focusing, and says 'DOn't take my picture'
	I can take the picture of her screaming at me!!  She can't take
	legal action against me as long as I don't sell the photo,
	or put it on public display.  

	Now, if I want to enter it into a contest, and I do, she can
	take me to court.  The only way I can USE the photo for other 
	than personal reasons is that I have to get a 'Model Release'
	from the subject.  (We call them models even if they aren't).
	The release is a signed document stating restrictions on use
	of the photo for both model and photographer.

	So, if you want to walk around naked in public, anybody can
	record your image/likeness, as long as they don't sell/display
	it.

	For politicians and famous people in general, you CAN take pictures
	of them picking their noses and scratching their _____________, and
	you can try to sell them to some newspaper or rag.  Or you might
	have a local exhibit on famous people picking their noses.  These
	subjects accept that they are in the public eye and are open to
	scrutiny, including cameras/camcorders.  They 'have been warned'
	so to say by accpeting the position of fame they hold.  No releases
	are required for these people.

	Hope this helps.  I'm NOT a lawyer, your local laws may vary
	slightly, but I doubt it.

I guess that makes my wife and I social parasites. I've been here
since 1987 on a student visa and my wife has been here since 1988 on a
visitor's (tourist) visa that is conditioned on my student visa. We
are both US citizens. We have been paying BC Med for the duration and
had our first child three months ago in Victoria.

So by your "logic" you're saying that my son should not be granted US
citizenship because we had the *goll* to have him outside the US?

That would be real cool since we've had no luck (so far) immigrating
into Canada and under your scheme our son would not be allowed to
return with us to the US, making our child a ward of the Canadian
government. Yeah, I can see that everyone benefits from your idea.

Not to mention the fact that foreign students also pay rent, buy
food, operate cars (the last two IF they can afford it here in Alberta!)
and other wise contribute to the economy which, God knows, needs all
the help it can get right now.  And then there is the little matter of
enhanced understanding of other cultures, easier communications,

Frankly, I think life would be pretty dull around here without the

Just another 2cents to this overseas student charges thing...

When I left Ontario (1990), my University, U of Western
Ontario was charging approx $6000.00 differencial fee
depending on the program.  When I arrived in Australia the
same year, overseas fees are approx $15000 Aus ($13000CAN),
somewhat higher to be sure.  All overseas students are
required to pay into a private medical fund to the tune
of about $300 AUS/year/person.

There seems to be a few threads mixed in here:

1. The question of whether differential fees are good/bad or
   whatever,
2. What if anything should be done for overseas students
   wrt. health coverage,
3. The question of foreign nationals having children in a
   Canada/US/where ever and that childs status

In Canada
1. There is a differential fee in some provinces, it is a 
   provincial matter, BUT it in no way covers the true cost
   of a university education which (I believe) is estimated
   to be $25000+/year/student whether they are Canadian or
   not the Canadian tax payer does pick up a substantial
   chunk of the cost.

   So there is a cost to the tax payer.  However the same 
   study (some one may have it, it was a NUS study in 89-90)
   suggested that there were many benefits to having
   overseas students in Canada.

   Not all overseas students pay fees.  At Western, in the
   Geography dept. none to my knowledge paid fees, the
   university picked up the tab.  Chinese gov. sponsored
   students are paid for by their gov. and Canada pays
   the fees through CIDA for other 3rd world students.

2. What do overseas students do in Canada? Join the provincial
   health plan?
3. If a foreign national has a baby in Canada, that child is
   entitled to Canadian Citizenship, we could argue whether
   that is a good thing or not!  Australia for example has
   stomped all over this type of thing...unless you are a
   permanent resident, children born here to foreign nationals
   do not get Australian citizenship.

cheers,
chris

p.s. Looking back over this post, I don't think I made my
     point :-(), which is that there are essentially 3 separate
     issues here and different categories of students classed
     as overseas...lets clarify (better than i did) what we
     are talking about.

   I would agree with that.  I find it rather astonishing that there
   would even *be* people who grew up in Montreal and hadn't learned
   French.  Of course, you have to blame their parents as well - after
   a certain age it becomes much more difficult to become fluent in a
   second language.

I won't defend Denis' point, except to comment that most of the
unilingual Quebec anglophones are over 30.

   >Or somewhat
   >racist (considering French as a low-level language).

   There is a similar thing in the USA, where Spanish is often considered
   inferior to English as first language and to French as a second language.
   It's odd that a knowledge of French would be considered a mark of culture
   in the USA, but not in Canada.

Which ties into my question: I believe that a plurality of Los
Angelenos are Hispanic.  What percentage of English-speaking Los
Angelenos speak Spanish?

BZZT... survey says WRONG... The talking head in the series "War" is Gwynn Dyer
not Richard Gwyn. Gwynn Dyer is a Canadian military policy analyst who, among 
many other things I'm sure, writes OpEd pieces for the Toronto Star on this 
topic. He is from one of the maritime provinces I think.

I do not mean to nitpick here, but that is exactly waht the forms do NOT say.
If I remember correctly, they say the award of financial aid will NOT be

     I think you might be talking about Richard Gwyn, who did
(among other things) the series "War" that was shown on PBS and
BBC as well as CBC.  I think he's Welsh originally.  But I
believe that he's just one of a series of summer replacements
for Michael Enright.

     Actually, I find that Alan Maitland and Michael Enright
seem to be on together only about half of the year!  The other
half, one or the other is on holidays or special assignments or
something, and they have a stream of alternate announcers and
interviewers replacing them.  Expect both to be back for Sept.

     By the way, what do American listeners of "As It Happens"
think of their coverage of Canadian and American issues?

Healthy? Try this on for size, Denis....the French have what some would
consider possibly the worst diet possible: cheese (ew, fat!), grease (ew,
fat and cholesterol!), tons of calories, and alcohol. Plus, lots of them
smoke. You'd think the casket industry would be booming, n'est-ce pas? 

Guess what, mes amis, they're healthier than you or I probably are,
terrifying diet or not. They call it the French Paradox, and apparantly it
has something to do with

a: Getting their dairy fat from CHEESE, and NOT MILK.  There's some theory
that the calcium reacts with the fat in cheese in such a way that most of
it's passed from the body, whereas with milk, it stays with you. Again,
only a theory.

b: Drinking RED wine seemingly protects the heart when taken in moderate
amounts, and has the effect of rendering the platelets in the blood "less
sticky", in other words, they don't cling to the sides of arteries and
block them.

Now you tell me what's healthy!
