A question for Canadians

Deane,

quote:

---

Do any of you chaps know of John Ralston Saul, author of "Voltaires Bastards", "The Doubters Companion", "On Equilibrium" etc.

---

Not personally, but I do know of him.

quote:

---

Is he married to your Governess General?

---

Yes, he's married to Her Excellency, the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada.

quote:

---

His books are rare in their ability to offer a different perspective on things we usually take for granted. I liked "On Equilibrium" especially for the section on Ethics.

Anybody out there read any of his books?

---

Yeah, he's an original thinker, one who doesn't neatly or predictably fall into a simple left or right mould.

Another question:

My mother was born in Ottawa, although she came to England when she was six. She now has a Canadian passport (she lost her British passport once. The Brits said she could get another one in about 3 weeks; the Canadians gave her one almost immediately, so...)

Anyway, my question is: Could I get Canadian citizenship for myself and my family?

7V,

From the Government of Canada website;

Could I be a Canadian citizen and not know it?
In general, if you were born in Canada you are a Canadian citizen. You are also a Canadian if you were born in another country after 15 February 1977 and one of your parents was a Canadian citizen before your birth.

You may be a Canadian if you were born in another country before 15 February 1977 and one of your parents was a Canadian citizen at the time of your birth. If you think this applies to you and you require more information, phone the Call Centre.

Will Canada sell its newly found -recovered wealth of oil to the very jealous US of A, that is the question, or isn't it allowed ?
