    I don't agree with that. I remember when it happened, and we were running on generators so I still had net access. First I found out that nearby areas were out, eg. newmarket, barrie etc.. Then we find out all of southern ontario. Ok, very weird, but no kneejerk reaction. Then we find out every city we inquire about in a widening radius has been affected. Buffalo, Detroit, Ottawa, Cleveland, NYC -- the entire northeastern section of North America is out! When was the last time something like that happened? Umm, never?

    With Sep 11 still fresh in our minds, it certainly crossed my mind that it could be a possible terrorist attack! I didn't immediately jump up and down crying terrorist attack, but I can tell you that the possibility of it being one was near the top of my list. I can't imagine that anyone who was aware of the magnitude of the situation (and not everyone was) did not think likewise.

    I can tell you I didn't....couldn't give a crap....bring it on. I am not gonna live my life around someone elses belief. The media and governmnet want you believe that, it sells.....sell the "sizzle" marketing 101.

    The fact that we have never had anythign of that magnitude before....call it luck....have you seen some of our government employees ? (Mr.Apex, dont chime in)......most of them can't tie a shoe lace.


    I never thought my house would have got flooded either last Aug, but guess what...it was..........and now I can't get flood insurance in my area....and I didnt make a claim...funny part.............who cares, I can't control the insurance companies, just like I can't control a dumbing walking into a subway car.

    Live life to the fullest brother, and forget the other crap, out of you're control. But, if you see a guy walking down the street with a few extra pounds, and you smell some gas....run like hell...."run forest, run" lol !

    I was going to write something really funny, but there was potential you'd take it personally, and that's just not right. djwannabe4k, on the other hand, I'd not hesitate with him.

    I just have this strong dislike for who's doing what with my taxes. Nothing personal, Andrew.

    Hey, no worries. And if you'd put a little smiling face with it, I wouldn't take it personally. And not to toot my own horn, but I'm one of the government employees trying to help increase our business' coffers. Cross-border trade and all that....

    No no. rumour is, he is a disgruntled investor that couldnt get shares on the IPO. So he figured if he went in there and created some negative press, that the share price would tank. He would be able to buy in at a good price.

    If you've targetted a specific area of the US in which you'd like to do business, I can find you market info, put you in touch with distributors, etc in my territory (if that's where you're targetting) or give you the name of my counterpart whose are you're targetting.
