POLYTARP. Thank you so much for your invitation. I really appreciate
it. However, till I get my extension to my visa stamped on my
passport, I will not be able to leave the country, or I will not be
allowed to return :( It will take me 10-12 weeks to get my visa
stamped.
I will take you up on your offer and come and visit with you and
NAFTEE when I make my final move to Canada.
I would like to see Montreal, I hear it is very pretty.

Julie and I have visited Western Canada, but not Eastern. (We've been
to B.C., she to Kelowna, and I to the Victoria/Vancouver area for
Expo '86). I've heard a lot about Montreal from an older friend of
mine and might visit someday-- maybe with him. Unfortunately, I don't
know a lick of French, much less the Canadian French dialect. (His
French is pretty good, though.)

You'll do fine with just English, but the fact remains: Montreal is CENTRAL
Canada, not Eastern.

Jak, what was your impression of Vancouver? I'm planning to move to
Canada sometime within the next year, and would like to know what it's
like

Right, that means Montreal is in Eastern Canada.

It was a LONG time ago, Sapna. (Almost twenty years ago.) I think I
remember Fairmont Hot Springs better. Very green and cool. We
stayed at a place where the pools were heated by the hot springs that
give the place its name.
I wish I could remember Vancouver better. It was pretty crowded then
for the Expo and I doubt I could really tell you very much. If I
remember correctly, I think doob and prostitution is legal here, but
I'm not perfectly sure.

Vancouver is a neat walkable city, with lots of nice waterfront and lots of
very skinny sky scrapers.

Oh, and Vancouver has a very large quantity of Gibbards listed in the phone
book, most or all of whom are probably related to me, but the only relatives
I've actually met there have a different last name.
(my grandpa grew up in a small town near Vancouver, and had 65 first cousins
in the same small town when he was a kid)

Pay for my ticket and lodgings and buy me a beer, and I'm there.
Before you mention it, I have a job now, polytarp.

Maybe the maritime provinces are considered to be beneath notice?

Yes, Quebec most certainly is not in eastern Canada. It's central,.

If Canada were divided into thirds, Quebec would be in the Eastern third.
It's really a matter of how you define the terms Eastern and Central.

Ontario and Quebec are central. Everything east and west of them are,
respectively, eastern and western Canada.

That must be based on a combination of population distribution, and population
distributiong 100 years ago?
