snookums snookums: You're pointing the obvious Bodah  I'm from Quebec, went through the Quebec's education system and still can't believe the crap I 'learned' during those years. I can't agree more with Desmond's assessment
What part of the curriculum was 'crap', if I may ask?  |

Canadian_Mind Canadian_Mind: Oh, I knew that system under a different name, and my province rejected the idea.

Instead of checking an 'X' to vote for your candidate of choice on the given ballot, you rank all candidates in descending order of preference.

| It is justified.. the stimulus package stinks and they really haven't released funding for much. Have you heard of one job being created by it? no! and there are a long list of reasons to dump this government..
