The government is quietly trying to push a bill that will allow them to charge you an extra $0.05 for every email received. Just think that is you receive 10 messages a day for a year that would amount to $180 above your internet costs. You really would be paying for spam. This money would be paid to Canada post directly as "alternate postage fees" for a service they do not even provide. The bill is 602p, call your local MP and say no, or things may change for the worst. -- Talking to yourself is ok, as long as you don't get an answer. Mike N.

When God talks to you, some believe its schizophrenia. 2) Talking is OK, answering is alright; we get concerned when you lose the argument. -- An informed person and open-minded being will accept logical reasoning, only a fool would be ofended by it.
