					Montreal, Summer 1992.

To whom it may concern,

In order to complete a Ph.D. dissertation in the field of political science 
I must verify a certain number of propositions. To do so, I must gather data.
To gather data I must ask people to fill a questionnaire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If yourself or your parents were born in a country other than Canada you| 
qualify as a respondent. You must also be a resident of the province 
of Quebec.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to receive a copy of the questionnaire or further details, please 
send me a message or provide me with a postal address. You should expect the
questionnaire to arrive via Canada Post within the week. 

P.S. Thank you to those who have already accepted to participate in the
study.

Regards.

David H. Irwin

This week-end, I walked in front of Maison Ramezay in Vieux-Montreal.
There was a panel with previous inhabitants since its building
(in 1705 ?).  In 1775-1776, it was the american army which was occupying
Canada according to the panel.  At that time, Canada included Quebec and
(yet almost unsettled) Ontario (Maritimes were independent colonies).

Since there were many posting saying that Americans
never invaded Canada (1812 was an attempt), what actually happened in 1775-1776?
Is the panel wrong?

I don't buy this! There was very little French migration in the world, and
the resident francophone population would have been swamped by immigration,
regardless. With the American influence and the large anglophone immigration,
the ("other"-language) immigrants would have still wound up English speaking.

J'ai besoin d'aide (conseil) pour un probleme de droits video.
I need some help (council) for a matter of video rights.  
The English version follows.
 
Dimanche dernier, j'ai ete filme sur video par une equipe de 
production professionnelle de Toronto.  Je n'ai jamais tourne
une scene uniquement pour eux, mais ils filmaient pendant que
d'autres personnes me photographiaient.  Ils ne l'ont pas fait
a mon insu.  Dans ces scenes, j'etais habille en costume d'epoque.
 
La personne qui a organise ce tournage m'a cause un prejudice 
financier important que j'ai appris bien apres le tournage.
J'ai pense ecrire pour interdire l'utilisation de toute image
ou j'apparaissais, a moins qu'elle ne repare le prejudice financier
subi.
 
Puis-je le faire?  Y a-t-il une loi quelconque ou une reference 
(article de journal, livre?) a ce sujet?  Devrais-je absolument 
passer par un avocat?  Quelle maison de production (je n'ai pas 
remarque d'identification) de Toronto pourrait etre interesse a 
filmer des scenes pour une rencontre familial de 1500 personnes 
sans que la personne fetee (le premier Beauregard dans notre cas) 
soit quelqu'un de celebre?
 
Je pense que quelqu'un a ecrit un article sur quelque chose de 
semblable (filmer sans avoir d'autorisation ecrite).
 
Merci d'avance.
 
                                * * *
 
Last Sunday, I was filmed on video tape by a professional production
team from Toronto.  I made no scene specifically for them, but
they filmed while I was photographied by other persons.  
I knew I was filmed.  In these scenes, I was wearing old (17th
century) costume.
 
The person that organised the filming caused me an important financial 
prejudice (harm?), a lost of money that I learned after the filming.
I thought to write to forbid use of any picture where I was,
unless she compensate the financial lost.
 
Can I do that?  Is there any law or any reference (review article,
book?) about that?  Shall I use a lawyer absolutely?  Which Toronto
based production company would be interrested in this kind of
movie : a family party of 1500 persons but where the celebrated person
(the first Beauregard in our case) is not a famous person.
 
I think somewhat posted an article about something like that some
time ago (filming without written authorization).
 
Thanks in advance.

In my US History class in high school I certainly remember discussing
the revolutionaries' (one could hardly call them "Americans" then)
invasion of Canada during the Revolutionary War.

So it depends what you mean.  Since the US didn't exist until after this
war, one can't say that the United States invaded Canada then.  On
the other hand, the people who were to form the US did invade.  As
the placard at the Chateau de Ramesay indicates, they even occupied
Montreal for a short time.

By the way, this high school class was in Los Angeles, California.
So DON'T say that Americans are never taught things like this in our
history courses.

Lindros and his mommy came up with many-a-excuses for not wanting to
play in Quebec City.  One of them was "taxes."  All this talk about
taxes in this newsgroup has made me think of a question:

How "bad" are Quebec (province) taxes compared to the rest of Canada?  I
also believe Eric Lindros stated that Quebec City taxes were too high
also.  

What's the PST in Quebec?  Does canada have a uniform income tax system?

Suppose I was earning $100,000 in Quebec City, $100,000 in Montreal,
$100,000 in Toronto, and $100,000 in Vancouver.  How would taxes differ?

(I ask, because I believe that if Eric L. was traded to les Habs, he
would have played for them (but, when would Quebec EVER trade anyone
like Lindros to the Habs?  Never, that would be sacreledge))

The main differences in taxation between Canada and the US are on
the very rich, who are taxed much more heavily in Canada...for
the middle class, it may appear American taxes are lower, but
it all depends on what exactly you factor into the totals.  Lindros
would rather play outside of Canada because he is being paid
millions of dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars.  FICA
is a big equalizer for the middle class, and also the relatively
generous tax deferral allowed by retirement savings plans in Canada.

Unlike French, English has no standards.  English dictionaries (like

   Quebec English includes a few words imported from French, thus
   reflecting the proximity of French-speakers in Quebec.  When
   such novelty is truly new (e.g. "animator"), we should embrace it.

   However, novelty arising from the mistakes of half-literate people
   (eg. "demand" for "ask") should be rejected because it does not
   add a new concept to the language; it only sows confusion.

That said, I do, of course, agree that using "demand" in the French
sense in English is confusing.  But, of course, importing words from
French is how Middle and Modern English (as opposed to that Saxon Olde
Englishe) came to be.
