I agree with everything except the right of a business to discriminate. I think any business should be able to decide who they serve UNLESS it is based on discrimination of an identified group. (we've already covered who this might include/who it does include under Canadian law)
Sooooo ......I guess we're back to square one! lol

BTW - my American dollar fetched me exactly ninty-five cents in Canada on Saturday.

I will never forget the time I walked into a casino and my first quarter won me $700!!!! It wasn't until I took my pile of quarters to the cage & cashed in that I remembered I was in Canada.

I cried. So enjoy your windfall.

I don't think that businesses should discriminate against groups of people. I covered this in my "why I like protected classes" post. I do like Canada's gay marriage for all law and that everyone has health coverage. Apparently, we aren't taught much about Canadian history either. I did write a paper in the 3rd grade on Saskatchewan. I picked it because I liked the name. But I don't ever remember a class being offered on Canadian history ever.

That is odd now that I think about it. Why is that?

At the time I thought it was where eskimo's lived which made it that much cooler. Imagine my disappointment when I finally made it to the library and there were no igloo pictures in the Saskatchewan books.

Now stop forcing me to derail this thread. AND let me borrow a million coins.
Thanks.
