Calling All Canadians!

[Arnwyn]

*sigh* Winnipegger here, too. Transcona, to be specific. Why are there so many of us here? Don't we have jobs to go to??

Actually, that's where we Winnipeggers post from. (At least, I do!)

Born in Georgetown, On. Moved to Toronto to go to UofT (graduating with a Bachelors in English and sociiology) and have been here ever since. My day job is doing the Tech-Support and IT advising and analysis for the nation's leading market research company. By night I freelance for various rpg companies and work on putting out my own company's first product.

As for my fave Canadian history moment, I'll go with a person instead: Trudeau was a thoroughly interesting guy, whether you hated or loved him.

I didn't think they had Internet in Transcona yet.

*ducking and running*

Kidding. I used to reside there, never lived there.

Hmm.... Hobby shop, government bureaucrat, or computer programmer?

So you were, what? Dead? When you "resided" here?

 

[devilbat]

Yep, brain dead.

None of the above...

Another Winnipeger.

 

[Alhazred]

Born and partially raised in Montreal; moved to Waterloo, Ontario, where the rest of me was raised

I did my undergrad in medieval history at UW, my MA in Elizabeth legal history at Laurier. I (somewhat) regret not having studied Canadian history to a greater extent than I did. Nevertheless, my favourite moment would be the confederation debates (what can I say, I'm a legal/constitutional history buff), although Henderson's goal in the 1972 series against Russia comes damn close. To bad I wasn't alive to see in first hand (thank you very much, mom and dad!)

Until October I was from Edmonton (though born in Toronto).

This past year I've been living in Uruguay, South America.

My favourite "moment" in Canadian history would have to be the entire Trudeau government. The guy was (and still is) an example known throughout the world (everywhere I've travelled, people remember him, and he's usually the ONLY Canadian politician people remember) of a unique and brilliant leader, and as someone else already said here, a man who wasn't afraid of showing off his intellect and of making unpopular choices because they were right, rather than rely on popular opinion.

Too bad the world doesn't have more politicians like that.
