By west, though, I'd say prairies. BC doesn't fit that bill very well.

We have turkey, ham, and salmon (or potatoes for the paddies!)

True, still helps my argument though as BC has different customs from other regions.

I don't know who you are cronie. Jeff is a respected member of this forum and has some very good input on this subject amongst others. You should just fuck-off.

Really, what is with all these recent 'members' looking for a fight with people they don't even know?

Jeff, you get my vote mate.

Actually I have noticed that too, maybe some site found us and is trying to troll. Perhaps adding an IQ test to the registration would keep them out.

Gunnair Gunnair:

Seconded. Jeff and I may have our disagreements, sometimes even a bit of flaming, but he's paid his dues and makes some damned good points.

Got your six, Jeff.

The flaming is part of the fun of this forum, no argument here is complete without calling each other a dumbass or a moron.

Have to respectfully disagree here, name calling and flaming have no part in a respectful discussion.

Flamimg by people who nobody knows is just flaming. Once we get to know each other, like our Jeff and I do, it's all a bit of fun and the stinky end of a heated debate.

Sorry, don't know you.

Hmmm....I don't understand what the article is talking about, unless changesd in the last year or so an applicant has to submit a decent IELTS result ( atleast a 6 from what I recall ), the worldwide standard exam for English which many countries and Universities use, this does consist of reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Although for someone who know decent English its not had to pass but to get a good score is not easy, specially when some countries ask for a minimum mark in each band and not just an overall, I've also seen people with good English skills not get good results specially in writing and listening. Its intentionaly tricky and meant to fool if your not carefull.

Just for bragging rights I got a 8.5, max score is 9 ( Thats English professor/teacher territory )

P.S : Currently you can make up for than in other criteria such as Canadaian studies or work experience or having relatives or a spouse with a decent immigration test score.

Why would that be a minus? Just gives him something in common with the rest of us.
