Is it possible to immigrate to Canada, and then move to Quebec as a Canadian citizen? I wasn't sure if moving to Quebec would be as easy as moving from state-to-state like in America.

Immigrating directly to Quebec seems like a nightmare.

Any help from those who live/have lived in Canada or Quebec... I would greatly appreciate it. :)

There aren't many people who say this, but there are quite a few that do. Didn't those people remember that LAST TIME we tried to do that?

The people who have been saying that Ron Paul has no chance have been wrong about him all along. They said he would drop out early, that he would not win debate polls, that he would not win straw polls after the Iowa poll, and the most recent is that he would not raise first-tier money.

It is very obvious why he has all this support, he is honest, has principles(swears to uphold the Bill of Rights fully), and he is so intelligent that when you listen to him give a speech it is like he is a professor giving a lecture at a major university. I don't consider candidates like that to be underdogs at all. It's just a matter of time before he gets them in the end.

I mean something that has effected you personally. If you don't call overseas to suspected terrorists you can't include the overseas calls survailence program (which was authorized by congress and not Bush anyway). For me the only right I have lost was the ability to smoke in public but there again Bush didn't take that away either, some bleeding heart Lib in my state government did. So I fail to see what people are talking about when they say Bush stole their rights.

It's like gambling huh. Maybe I can be, ambassador to Iceland or something?! What if I only gamble a little bit? What if I gambled on all the candidates, I would surely get some kind of cool job wouldn't I?

If a website has no copyright notification on it, anywhere. Is the content on that website fair to use until you are notified to not use it any longer, or until the copyright is posted?

I think it would be the end of the democrats support if they have a dem president. The democrats to me seem like, they would rather end the war with a democrat president instead of a republican president. They could do it with their power now by stopping funding but they are afraid, and I think it is because a democrat pres is more symbolic and recognizable than owning any house. So they can always say 'it took a Democrats in the oval office to end the republicans war'. They already used that tactic to gain majorities and apparently that isn't enough.
But what is going to happen is, the Dem pres will not end the war, and they will lose all support from voters when they don't! finally even the thickest of supporters will come to their senses and make a vow.

I had a restraining order (injunction) against my aunt's husband because he threatened to harm my 4 year old daughter. 4 months later my aunt than tried to get one against me. It was dismissed out of courts after a hearing. Than she tried to get one against my husband 4 months later. Again it was dismissed. I filed a violation of injunction 2 or 3 months before the one that I had against her husband was to end. The judge verbally repremanded him and threatned to monitarily fine him if he violated it again. The injunction than ended (due to dates).

Well, now I recieve 2 legal advertisements in the mail stating that someone has filed and injuction against me and my husband (in thier county)... duh, them! I have not yet been served... I am guessing that will come any day.

So, my question is... can I sue them for harrassment? If so what paper's do I have to file?

I use to have custody of my aunts' kids... that is how this all began... she was jealous.

Our founding fathers warned us of 2 characters in public office: 1st - One who uses security as a means to get elected and 2nd - One who uses popularity as a means to get elected. Bush and Clinton. Will we continue are foolish trend?

Just trying to predict who's going to win...

as for me, I support Ron Paul 100%. He wants to pull out of Iraq and make government smaller. But most importantly, he wants to protect the American way of life and END illegal immigration. And he's not going to steal my money and give it all to poor people.

But I dont want to hear anything about who me or anyone else supports. Just state who you support and why, please. I will not pick you for best answer if you diss anyone else's views. I will pick the best expressed answer, no matter who the candidate.

In a class action lawsuit against Bank of America, the class counsel and Bank of America negotiated an agreement calling for Bank of America to provide various non-monetary offers (but no money) to the class members and to pay several million dollars to the class counsel. Subsequently, several class members filed objections with the court. The class counsel then filed papers saying that the large fee was justified because of the additional work required to negotiate a non-monetary settlement, in excess of what would have been needed to negotiate a monetary settlement. I feel that a monetary settlement would have been in the best interest of the class counsel's client (the class members). Is negotiating for something else and thereby getting more fees an ethics violation?

My landlord claims to have started the eviction process. We got into an argument cause she keeps opening my mail. She threratened to evict me. So She served me a 3 day notice charging me for 6 months of back rent ( im current with my rent ) and i month future rent. Then she 1 week later her friend serves me with a notice from the court house saying i need to pay 25 dollars a day starting the same day. The court papers were clearly fake, they had clear stickers on them in the spots where case numbers were. My Questions are:

Is there anyway I can find out who called Children & Youth on me? I have a feeling it was my bitter ex, but just to make sure it wasn't a nosey neighbor or something...My case was closed, and "unfounded". I heard there was an address in Harrisburg I could write to find out who the rat is, anybody know?

Unemployment is 4.7%. It's up from 4.6% - that 0.1% being the entire impact of the "housing crash." There have been layoffs and work reduction for about a hundred thousand folks in cyclical industries - folks who during a five year boom made more than double what anyone with their skillset usually makes (home mortgage lenders are salesmen, they pull a credit bureau and if your FICO score is above the number the underwriters' gave them and your current rate is above the rate their employer is offering, they get paid just for calling you and filling out the forms - people made six figures doing that for a living for several years in a row, that's great but you're supposed to put half of that away).

Other than auto and airlines - which have done poorly for decades so if you went into those trades you knew the risks - everyone else is working. Everyone else's incomes are rising. The stock market is doing well and interest rates are down again. CPI is 2.5%. PPI is zero.

I want to send a joke letter to someone asking them to fill out a survey. There is nothing threatening, not asking for money, no vulgarity and the survey will not even be included for them to send back. So really the letter serves no purpose except to be kind of annoying.

I'm wondering if it is illegal or not to put a fake return address with a fake name like Smith Research Institute. Is it considered some sort of fraud to be posing as a fake institute. Like I said, I wouldn't be asking for anything in response.

Then why haven't they delivered on their promise to pull us out of Iraq already?

After all, that was their biggest platform they ran on during the elections.

Could it be that they were just saying what people want to hear just to get elected?

Is anyone else sick to hell of Democrats crowing "free speech" then turning around and pushing the exact opposite? The last I checked, universities were some of the least hospitable places in the country for freedom of speech.

I wonder if Mr. McSwane has ever needed police protection, been physically assaulted by students or the target of a professor's personal hatred. Probably not.

President Bush? How would you rate him??? I've been learning a lot of interesting things about him in my US Gov class. Here are some things.

Is it truth that he has lied to us americans numerous times, streched executive powers to expand his presidency power, is he ordering that americans be spied on at will without a search warrent, used to work with president nixon with watergate, completly ignores things written out in the US consitution that says he can't do things, but does it anyway?

I heard the things he has done is enough to get him impeached? If this is all true, why hasn't it happened?

if as a result, I should be treated differently from everyone else by our Presidential candidates or different political parties. After all, this land that was stolen, belonged to the Indians, you have taken my property.

I don't live on a reservation, I've taken every opportunity to better myself because it's there... but still, I have that heritage. I work for a living and pay taxes.... but still.....

Should I be pandered to and expect special treatment because of my heritage? Should you people pay a debt to me forever, for something that you personally have had nothing to do with? Or, shall we all accept the fact that we're equal and move on in life?

I mean don't get me wrong... I'm an immigrant myself and I am not anti-immigrant, but why is it that people in Mexico still want to come? The per capita income is almost $12,000 and Mexico is a democracy. It's not like they are dying of hunger and are being oppressed. They are way better off than most people around the world!
