The war was a stalemate. Good thing for Canada...were it part of the
USA, it would be going down the crapper right now, too. The economy is *booming* in most Canadian provinces. Look at their buck, it's pulling up to within sight of the almighty Yankee dollar. And it has been the Loonie coming up, (as much as the dollar going into the dumper because of our hare-brained management of the federal budget, deficit, and general economy) that is accounting for the dramatically narrower gap in the currencies. Gotta watch out for them "socialists", eh? (insert grin here) They're currently doing very, very well. |

One big advantage was our weak loonie. Now that it's up to 85 cents and 'Arnold' is working on the film companies in California to stay home, things are changing. Biggest loosers are Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver probably followed by Halifax. A neighbour of mine has had steady work producing CBS 'made for tv' movies the last few years. |

With the help of British Regular Soldiers, the Canadian Militia and our Indian allies soundly defeated the invaders from the south. Jim Carter Bayfield |

Mr. Madison's war would have been lost but for the fact that at the same time the Brits were fighting us, Napolean was giving them real problems in Europe and on the high seas. Thus, the Brits were not able to concentrate their forces on us. Even so, they won most of the early battles, and chased us out of Washington, D.C. for a while. By the time the Brits defeated Napolean, we had regained some ground a,d it was bascially too late for the Brits to rally and run us down. There also was Jackson's successful defense of New Orleans, which, interestingly, took place AFTER the war of 1812 was over and a treat at Ghent was reached. Most historians believe that if the Brits were not tied up in a second front, they would have wiped us entirely. That second front was with...the French. Under than logic, we might as well thank Russia for helping us during the war of 1812 because they sucker punched Napoleon. The simple fact is we should thank the British for helping us win the War of 1812 because they were stupid and arrogant enough to enter into a two front war which they couldn't win without OUR help in food and other merchant supplies. The French "helped" only by being dumbasses themselves. Later, Tom |

Hello Harry,
You mean just like in WWII with "real help" coming only from our "real/true" allies? (i.e., England, Australia, Canada) Regards, Franko "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

The French demanded that all government offices be bilingual and all road
signs,, yet their province is all french and they do not observe the bilingual practice,,, while visiting quebec, it is a well known fact that if you only speak english, you will most noticeably be treated rude and improperly,,, I could go on but I don't feel like a rant at the moment,,, let someone else pick it up from here,,,, When my daughter was getting her masters at McGill (in Montreal), there was a law on the books that required all salespeople to greet all customers in French. After the greeting, the salesperson could switch to English (or some other language) if the customer was unable to speak or uncomfortable conducting business in French. It was also illegal to conduct business in English if the customer preferred to speak French. Pretty sneaky technique to assure that the Francophones had an advantage over Anglophones when interviewing for jobs as department store clerks. Based solely upon drive-by comparisons of some "French" residential neighborhoods and some "English" neighborhoods, I developed an impression that at least historically the Anglophonic have dominated the economic and social framework in Montreal, while the Francophonic have been runner's-up. It does make for some interesting culture, despite the turf war tensions. I've been to places I could not live under any circumstance, but I could get along comfortably in Montreal. |

Much more cosmopolitan than the rest of Quebec. I drove to a smaller sized French city half way between Quebec City and Montreal to buy my Sandpiper 565 sailboat in May. Although very French, everyone I ran into was very polite and helpful. It made me wish I could speak more than a dozen French words. |

My wife's best friend's husband was posted to the Paris Embassy about 23 years ago. The kids got to choose the eatery if they got very good grades. They chose McD's. The bill for the meal was about $50. This is when you could probably eat at the top Paris restaurants for not much more. |

Hi John: Just one! At that time, when I was in Paris, my Granddaughter was 7 years old, and she ate for free at most of the restaurants. Most of the smaller, family type restaurants in Europe, do not charge for the kids meals. This is the same at a lot of places here at home. Jim Carter Bayfield |

I don't know if they'd feed four kids for free, when only three adults are paying. These kids were between 7 and 12 (not ten as I said earlier). Plus, as a newbie to Paris I didn't have your knowledge. I spent four and a half years in Stuttgart, and I don't recall ever getting a free meal for my kid. Most of the time, if we ate out, we ate at the small, family owned places. Never got free meals though. John H On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD, on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! |

Rome, Sorrento, Lucca, Assisi, Sienna, and Cinque Terre. Pretty much most
of the mid western italy. Italian toilet seat discussion continued: I think one would expect to find toilet seats in the Americanized hotels like Holiday Inn, etc. We try to stay at 2-3 star places to save some money, and get a more local experience. Our local experience in Rome included a prowler in the hotel room in the middle of the night, probably trying to steal American passports, so it wasn't exactly a premiere address. (Wife woke up, screamed, and by the time I got out of bed a split second later the person was out the door and running down the hall like a rabbit, empty handed). The reason I can be completely sure we had a toilet seat is that we stayed in that room, even after the break in, for over a week. My wife is a real trooper, but our tenure in a room with no seat on the toilet would have been about 15 minutes, max. Midnight prowlers she'll put up with, but no toilet seat? Out of the question. |
