Yes, the language up there, is actually called "French-Canadian", and is only similar, and derived from French, but not the same in as many ways as one would think. I tried mix and matching them on a few occasions, and they looked at me like I was from Mars...so I switched back to "French", when on the other side of the pond, and "French-Canadian", when back in Canada. Being fluent in the languages, and theire differences, is helpful. Guess you'll find out the differences when you try to speak French up in Canada though.
It's comparable to trying to speak Mexican Spanish, to a Puertorican..Same but different...Not just the dialect either...whole words are different.

I live in Montreal. There is lots of support for Benz' up here, but the diesel's are very few and far between. Parts are available because most of the cars have rusted out by now. I had to get mine out of NJ.

Yeah when I was an IT director, I traveled to China and Australia.. China was awesome! I spent two weeks out of every month there for 7 months..
Hong Kong is my favorite spot for sure! Damn, there is a lot of $$$ in that city.

KNow anyone who wants an IT guy in China again???

Cheers!

LOL, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

If I ever get to the point where I'm afraid to leave the "protection" of the U.S. and go live in the wilds of canada, someone please shoot me.
