Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness  

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Thanks for all the fish.

Ouise, that is so eciting! I love house hunting.

I see that the other thread seems to consider Ontario the East.

Heh, yes. My friend Nico (from Alberta) and I had some discussions on that point. He seemed to feel that only the exact east-west midpoint of Canada could be referred to as "central Canada" and was very surprised that I did, in fact, know where that midpoint was.

I tend to consider Quebec and the Atlantic provinces "eastern Canada", Alberta and B.C. "western Canada" and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan "central Canada", but the really important division is into "has a coastline" vs. "is unimportant" :)

Most people west of Quebec think of Atlantic Canada as a big national park.

Thanks for all the fish.

See, BC is 'pacific', AB, SK & MB is 'western' ON & PQ is 'central' and the Atlantic provinces are, ah, 'atlantic'... Though, I suppose one could lump Quebec and points East as 'eastern'.

Manitoba is generally not considered central because, well, Manitoba is generally not considered.

I thought that Winnipeg was the dead centre of the country. And by dead centre I don't mean *dead* centre.

Does anyone want to get together this weekend? There are several options - going out for dinner, meeting for drinks or meeting for coffee. Also, Nora and I now have the extended version DVD of Fellowship of the Ring, so if anyone wanted to come over to watch it, that might be fun. What do you say?

I'd love to, but I probably shouldn't. i have a big-assed project due in two weeks that we are DOOMED on. DOOMED, I say!!!

That said, procrastination was always my best subject.

Edit: 'Ouise, I was at your place of employ this morning.

Really? Were you at the workshop in the library? I noticed something going on there.

Good luck with the project. We'll still have the DVD when you're done with it, and any excuse to rewatch is welcome!

Yeah, it was a disaster preparedness and recovery workshop put on my folks from the National Library.

So are you all prepared now? Will you save us all when disaster strikes? Or is the training aimed at saving books from disasters?
