Canadian law, father is deceased.

I am born Canadian and want to avoid some pitfalls of the immigration process. Serious answers well rewarded.

Is there any adjustment on the clutch of a 1990 Acura Integra? The clutch doesn't grab until the very final inch of pedal, like at the very top of clutch release. Or does the clutch have to be replaced?

Breathe Right Strips are great, but at about $.80 per strip or per night they are expensive and I want to get some adhesive product to use them more than one night. Any ideas?

There is so much porn online and elsewhere. Can anyone show me a sourse of the pay scale for the entertainers?

I notice when you ask a Filipino a question, the answer is often vague. I ask my Filipina wife how much the dress costs, and she says "less than $40.", or "more than $30. I see this all the time in the Philippines and wonder if this habit of not being precise is part of the fact the Philippines lags behind other Asian countries...you guys are great and freindly, but this laid back attitude and not giving definate answers to definate questions is costing your country dearly. Before Marcos, the Philippines had the 3rd highest standard of living in Asia, after Japan and Hong Kong.

In trips to the Philippines, I was surprised to see "help-wanted" ads advertising positions in a variety of careers, using phrases like: must be single, over 5'2", under 25, or under 30. In Canada that is discrimination and would never be allowed to discriminate on the basis of age, race, physical height, religion, marital statud or sexual orientation. How do Filipinos feel about this, or they just accept it. In Canada we value job experience and age is not such a big deal.

On recent trips to the Philippines, I noticed many ads in the papers looking to hire "singles, under 25, and must be over 5"1"...whatever the position, there was usually some requirement of age, or height or marital status. This is certainly against the law in Canada and I would assume in most western countries. Why do you people allow this discrimination?

I watched a recent documentary on Dateline NBC which showed young women from the Philippines offerred restaurant jobs in Malaysia only to be later told they are forced into prostitution and their passports were held...the police were aware, yet did nothing to help until exposed by the US news crew. Malaysia has the worst record in the world to convict human traffickers

It's not only Americans, but many of the US porn sites show mostly Americans, and it's truely amazing the sheer numbers of people having sex in front of a camera. It seems like a fairly high percentage of the general population. I would appreciate any factual information as to the approximate numbers who have worked in the industry one time or another.

A Whopper is $1.79CDN on Whopper Wednesdas and normally $3.49 A Big Mac is about $3.79 normally.

China says it fears hundreds of thousands of refugees from North Korea if the country struggles too much under strict sanctions. Give me a break! If the whole population of North Korea, 22,900,000 picked up and went to China, that would still be only 1.7% of China's population of 1,300,000,000. Given Canada allows a 1% immigration rate annually, why is such an influx to China such a big deal, under the circumstance. Canadian immigration is from 240,000 to 290,000 annually in a country of only 32,000,000. It would not surprise me at all if China is complicit in the help to North Korea to obtain nuclear weapons. China even implies it doesnt want to inspect goods properly entering N. Korea. Think about our freinds in China when you make a purchase at the mall!

Poor little Cuba poses no threat to the Mighty USA, yet few people in the US would ever try to get thier government to lift sanctions against Cuba. Yet I have noticed hundreds of US Navy sailer boys buying Cuban cigars when they arrived in port in Victoria, BC, Canada. If Americans weren't such hippocrites, the world would like them more. Canadians get killed in "freindly fire" in Afghanistan and it's not even on the news in the US. But they know who fathered Anna Nicole Smith's illigitimate kid. Go figure......

they say its a government regulation....but lots of girls want to come home with me...but afraid of the police.

Suppose you are downhill skier from Egypt, for instance, and the best in your country, but not good by world standards, can you still get to the Winter Olympics? I want to find some athletes and train them for the 2010 Winters in Vancouver from a hot country not normally in the Winter Olympics.

The answer may surprise you as its not what you learned in grade 5

I have an idea for an invention, but need someone with technical expertise....I have my doubts if a cat would trot along like dogs do on a teadmill...perhaps a video of a barking dog would motivate the cat, but how would you control the speed of the treadmill.
