to the post office we go

The FBI has confirmed that I, too, am felony-free. Tomorrow we mail off our next round of immigration documents. These are:
- financial records for the preceding four years,
- proof of current employment,
- proof of common-law partnership, and
- FBI certificates of no record.

I did another cool New York thing today. Details tomorrow.

Whoo-hoo! We are almost there!!

    I stumbled across your site while doing some research
    for my graduate certificate and could not resist
    exploring it fully. Being a 46 year old Canadian from
    the beginning I truly love this country of ours. It
    presents oppourtunity and posibilities of all those
    who enter it's borders. If there is one thing that
    upsets me about our nation is the lack of recognized
    potential we have here. As a nation we have got so
    much to offer.
    I am so thrilled to have New Canadians enter our
    borders be they foreigners who can hardly speak the
    language or well educated successful people like
    yourselves.As Canadians world wide we are respected
    not for the obvious lack of military status but
    respected as ( dare I say it ) peacekeepers and true
    politicians.(Those evil people that are necessary to
    prevent all out war to solve their national and
    international problems.)You may find it hard to
    believe we have a few heros of our own to be proud of.
    From Banting to Bethune, Taylor to Villinueve
    I come from the Toronto area here you will find all
    the things New York has to offer only a little less
    frequent as far as your live theater goes but I
    srongly recommend a walk along the board walk or Queen
    Street East or West the east end offers a very small
    town atmosphere with cafe's and unique shops
    We literally have a world of cultural diversity to
    access from food to festivals.The Jazz festival is a
    personal favorite of mine and my wifes .Well I have
    taken enough of you time,just know that this Canadian
    welcomes you with open arms and hopes things turn out
    well for you and your family and the dogs.
    Please feel free to contact me over the net. Who
    knows maybe when you and your common law spouse arrive
    I may just be available for tours of this city mind
    you the exploration of it is just as much fun.

    Sincerely: Al

    PS:drop me a line sometime maybe I can help and gladly
    will

    Al, thank you for this lovely post! Canadians have been so welcoming and enthusiastic about our decision to emigrate - and towards immigrants in general. It's impressive.

    I have no doubt that Canada has much to be proud of. As a lover of cities, I'm really looking forward to exploring Toronto - and as a traveler, I'm looking forward to Canadian vacations. I especially want to go to both coasts. I have visions of the dogs hopping in the back of an RV for a long cross-country drive.

    I'm saving email addresses of people who have contacted me through my blog, and I'd be very happy to add yours to the list. Because you posted anonymously, I don't have any contact info for you. Please feel free to email me so I can get your address.

    Thanks again! Maybe we will see you down the road.

not so fast

Not everyone thinks the Conservative government is a lock. Canada's opposition Conservative Party, which is set to bring down the minority Liberal government later this week, was hit by a new opinion poll on Monday that showed it was trailing in the country's most vote-rich region. The Leger Marketing poll for the Sun chain of newspapers put support for the Liberals in the powerful central province of Ontario at 43 percent compared with 31 percent for the Conservatives. Ontario, a Liberal stronghold at the federal level for the past 12 years, accounts for 106 of the 308 seats in House of Commons, and no party can hope to form a government without doing well there. . . . Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberals have been badly hurt by a corruption scandal and Conservative leader Stephen Harper says the government must be defeated as soon as possible. The Leger figures, however, suggest there is no guarantee Harper can end 12 years of Liberal rule. Thanks, ALPF! I must say, I...

dipstick

So there won't be an election yet. Talk about a squeaker . Feel free to tell us how you feel about this, unless it's all been said already, then feel free not to. ALPF mustered his courage and sent more links, so I have some good commentary to post. I found this Macleans story on the Conservative party's reaction to Stronach's decision - and public reaction to that reaction - very interesting. Canadians seem almost universally turned off by the name-calling and sexist slurs. On the other hand, when a certain governor made his "girly men" pronouncement, his constituency howled with glee. (Which is not to say the rest of us weren't appalled.) The Macleans article also notes that not all the sexism came from politicians: Some of the most sexist characterizations of Stronach didn't come from her political adversaries, but from media. Montreal's La Presse newspaper ran a cartoon of Martin leaning out his car window to solicit a street-walking Stronach...
