| As a Yank who is used to (but hates doing it) paying for health insurance, then having to 'cover deductables' pay a 'co pay' and then still have to pay 20%, I was wondering what it costs to go to the hospital... I tore my ACL 3 years ago... The surger and rehab cost a total of $15,000ISD I had a ver... |

| I have also been thinking about moving to Canada. My situation though is clouded by the fact that I have a wife, and a 1 year old son. Both of us are natives (not aboriginal, but you get the point) of Nebraska, and would be very hard to pry ourselves away from the families with a little one. One of ... |

| By 'intelligent' american, it sounds like you mean to say, 'anti-war' american. If that is your only qualification for intelegence, I seriously doubt your qualification for making such a judgment. I don't mean to start a flame war, but lets try to be objective. To say that some one is intelegent onl... |

| Rev, sorry for the delay, was out of town for the holidays... When I was mentioning the decline in US brewing industry that resulted from prohibition, I was also making reference to the tast, color, quality, in adition to the alcohol content. As I mentioned, going back to the 'Great War' there was a... |

Mukluk,
'Podunk' is a term that must be used only inthe Mid west of the us to describe very small isolated rural comunity. Substatute with 'back water', 'hole in the wall', 'middle of nowhere'... Not slaging it,(I'm from there!), just explaining what I was unaware was slang!
Cheers! |

| Even down here in the states this seems to be the 'forgoten war'. What most people don't know that at least for the US it was the bloodiest war (casulties per year) of any conflict we've been in. Has the doobius (sp?) honor of being wedged between WWII and vietnam, both of which seemed to have gripp... |

| Rev, If you're looking for american beer history, look for home brewing books. That is where I learned most of my knowledge on the subject. None has all the story, but they all tell parts of it. Would be nice to see a presice collection and synthisis (sp?) of the entire story on either side of the b... |

Another set of questions,
What are the most popular domestic beers (not micros), and what do you usualy have to pay for them (pint, pitcher, case...) Along with that, what is the current exchage rate? It's been since '98 that I was to Canada, and I am sure it's changed |

Lets not turn this into a discussion about 'what if we went to war AGAI... |

| As a teacher of history, and a amature home brewer, I am only too much aware of the watered down legacy of the 'noble experiment' that was prohibition... During WWI, there were increased requirments on all resources (rationing). One way to conserve on resources was to lighten the barley content in b... |

Other then the fact that the Canadian and US flags don't look strikingly similar (as the two trans tasman flags do), the situations would be much the same. As for the fear of t... |

| I have never drank canadian beers in Canada, but my brother goes fishing every summer up in Manitoba with his inlaws and claims that the beers that they buy up there are much better then the same beers bought south of the border. Is this true? Like with many 'import' beers, the alcohol content is di... |
