Volks, GERRY, apparently, is in transit to reside amongst our Northern
neighbors!  My hopes are that GERRY will not be subjected to Canadian
Customs for the purposes of downloading his/her memories of those
Canadians who have possibly breached Canadian laws concerning "hate
speech"!!!

Down here, in the Good 'Ole USA, we still have some semblance of a 1st
Amendment of our Constitution, but, after reading the Canadian
Constitution, I fear for our Northern Brethren when it comes to any
amongst them who make the fatal mistake of referring to such "hatefully"
loaded comments as substandard parts made in "Red China", via "slave
labor", sold, officially, by "murderers" and other such facts that
abound today.

Could our Canadian neighbors, who criticize parts for our Vanagons made
down in Mexico or Brazil be prosecuted, under the terms of NAFTA, for
making disparaging remarks about Vanagon parts coming from either of
those countries, when comparing them to Vanagon parts coming out of
Europe or Tennessee???

Under Canadian Law, who can say, for sure!  I only bring this up because
of clients of mine who have given up trying to trek up to Canada to hunt
wild game because of the perplexing laws they have there concerning the
transport of guns into Canada AND the reading of weird stuff about
Canadian politics at
http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/16525.html which scares
me.
