5. Sorry you feel that way
No, I'm not Canadian, but I hear that they are looking for RN's in northern sections of Manitoba and Alberta. A small little village called Lyn Lake may be looking for someone.

And when you look at their immigration policy, it kind of makes sense. For all p.o'd Americans, pay attention: Just because Bush sucks, doesn't mean Canada will give you citizenship just because you run north. They have a "point system."

I believe it works like this: 1-50. If you are a one, forget it. They'll probably boot your butt out the moment they find you.

A 50 is probably a physician. I remember some website that said that, once finishing nursing school and acquire at least a years experience, I will be about 45. But that also decreases with the person's age. A 58 year old Nurse Practitioner will have a harder time granted citizenship than a 20 year old RN or LPN grad with a year experience.

IOW-they won't make you a full-fleged Canadian unless you have something to contribute.

But then, there's always that 10% income tax rate...

20. Cool..
I grew up in Maine and I am eager to move back there someday (or at least move to another state nearby). My family still lives there.

18. I was accused of being Canadian once.
I used to be a high school teacher in Orlando, FL. I told my students I was from Maine. Many of them seemed to think that made me a Canadian.

22. Maybe..
I'm probably Russian too. Being born in Maine must automatically make you a citizen of all countries that have cold climates.

LOL. :)

27. Are you correcting my spelling?
I don't think I've ever met such an anal newspaper editor who corrects people who are better at spelling and grammar thAn he is.
