Hello fellow Canadians,my name is Sean,I'm not really that new to the cs site but I am new to the forums.
I noticed that Austrialia's forums have way more traffic than the Canadian forums are they not a smaller country??.Is it that Austrailians are that that much more interesting or do Canadians just have better things to be doing with their time
This is an interesting story : And you think lawyers don't have hearts. The best lawyer story of all time...bar none:
The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, 'Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?'
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, 'First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?'
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, 'Uh... no, I didn't know that.'
'Secondly,' says the lawyer, ' did it show that my broth er, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?
The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again.
'Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?'
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, 'I'm so sorry, I had no idea.'
And the lawyer says, 'So... if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?

Mabey we are just to down to earth,I just started with the forums today I think I am going to have to try and liven the party up a bit in the next few days.
It's been up and down as far as interest and the number of people posting in the Canadian forums. I've been here for nearly a full two years and it was busy at one time. Lately all of the forums have been a bit slow, and I do pop into all of them on the site. I'm a bit of a wanderer that way. They all have their good and bad, and lovely people in each. The Aussie forums were dead for the longest time, until two women I know started posting regularly and dragging people in. One is still on the sit, but doesn't post as often, and the other was banned altogether. I think the Canadian forums need a good shake up and some new people posting, as well as the old members. I know there are a lot of "lurkers" that read and never say a thing. Get your fingers out of your noses and start typing.
