How does Canada manage to maintain such a low murder rate compared to America?
Q. It's really amazing - Canada's national murder rate is THREE times lower than the rate in the US. How do they pull this off? Are Canadian cops simply three times more competent than the cops in America, or what? What can we learn from Canada when it comes to bringing down the murder rate? Why is America failing in this regard compared to Canada? Who is to blame, and how can we correct this crisis?

A. for starters fix your prison system its the largest in the world and easily one of the most ineffective too many people in prison for minor drug offences first off second people go in for minor crimes, learn the tools of the trade from inmates, join gangs and then bring that to the outside world where they become better criminals and work in the same gangs they were a part of in prison we also didnt have a huge slave population that suddenly were free and then not given any support and generations later they are still at a disadvantage and turn to crime to make up for that discrepancy

How badly is Canada affected by the financial crisis?

A. Canada is much better off than the U.S. because our banks did not get caught up in the mortgage meltdown that occurred in the US. How ever there is currently a global recession going on which Canada can not escape from. The US dollar will probably sell off making our exports to the US more expensive putting pressure on our economy.

What is Canada doing to protect Canadians against the H1N1 virus?
Q. The Public Health Agency of Canada has listed this on its website (last modified April 26) "Vaccine A vaccine is any preparation intended to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies. Canada has a plan for a vaccine to be produced domestically if a pandemic occurs, which will take about six months once the virus is identified. Enough pandemic vaccine will be produced to cover all Canadians." Now that the virus has been declared a pandemic, what action is the government taking?

A. Canada is not taking the pandemic seriously. Five students got the H1N1 at Coquitlam-area schools in BC. None of the schools were shut down. H1N1 is the same strain as the 1918 Spanish Flu. Look at the fatality rates of every know flu pandemic Asiatic (Russian) Flu 1889 90 1 million died, possibly H2N2 Spanish Flu 1918 20 to 40 million died, H1N1 Asian Flu 1957 58 1 to 1.5 million died, H2N2 Hong Kong Flu 1968 69 0.75 to 1 million died, H3N2 So we know at least one million people will die if there is a flu pandemic this fall and they don't want to close a school because of final exams?

What should I know about Denmark to Canada emigration procedures?
Q. Specifically, what does the law says about procedures to follow for a Danish citizen moving permanently to Canada? Where should he start? What papers does he need, from Canada, and Denmark? What can he do to get a Visa quickly, or to pass the citizenship test when he gets to Canada? Would it accelerate the entire procedure by obtaining a marriage license while in Canada? I have heard of the concept of an international "invitation" that a citizen can send to someone in another country, to fast-track their passage into the inviter's country.

The following link has the various immigration forms: There are no specific procedures (at least from Canada's standpoint) for immigrating from specific countries such as Denmark. Being able to speak & write both English and French (this is a huge plus), no criminal record, having job skills that are needed in Canada all count towards how quickly one's application will be processed.

A. The canadian and US "disagreement" is only localized in certain social groups. The US's greatest trade ally is Canada and though, as with every country to another, there have been disputes, at the moment, we are working very well with Canada and Likewise. Also on a side not not from the source If you asked for help up north it would allow us to set up legalized bases at closer vantages to some northern non-allied countries like North Korea.

Asked by Yingping L - Mon Mar 16 22:42:47 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Yes it is. However, you should talk to a professional as there could be a requirement for you to withhold 30% of the payment and then the bank would have to claim this back from the government. As no bank would want to do this, they would just increase your payment by enough to cover the withholding, which you would not want. So, talk to an expert first.

How do you obtain Sodium metal in Canada or transport it across the border?
Q. I cannot find anywhere in Canada to buy pure Sodium metal. Most places on the internet list it as a restricted material. I found Sodium being sold on eBay but only in the United States. They will not ship it internationally as the Postal Service does not allow it to be sent out of the country. I can have it shipped to a friend in the United States and have them bring it back to Canada the next time they travel. Will the airlines allow Sodium to be carried on a flight or to be put in checked baggage? If not, can it just be driven across the border? Another suitable solution for me would be to find someone selling it in Canada for a reasonable price. Does anyone know if there is somewhere an ordinary person can buy Sodium in Canada? Thanks.… [cont.]
Asked by Natrium - Tue Oct 9 01:13:57 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although sodium metal is a restricted material, it CAN still be shipped to/within Canada if declared as a hazardous material and transported by special courrier. As a material that's regulated by Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, it is usually not a good idea to bring the item across the US border undeclared. Also, it canNOT be transported by air, ground only. If you can provide proof/ background of the kind of research you are doing with the sodium and you need a reasonable amount of metal, I may be able to help.

A. Time travel perhaps? I don't know if this counts in your case but there is such a thing as a "returning residents permit" which allows you to be outside of the country for a period of time without loosing your permanent resident status. IT does cost and there are limits but it is possible to stay out long and still keep your status...to a point. You will need to make a decision one way or the other about if you want your status. If you want it bad enough it's worth working for.

Q. 1974 Canada stamp collection is 250$. So expensive, why?
Asked by Boren Z - Thu Nov 8 19:11:47 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the collection is just the single stamps that Canada issued in 1974, I don't know why it'd be so expensive. The single stamps together would probably be worth about all together $20 unused at most. Unless they're full sheets, error stamps, or something very unusual, that sounds like too much money.

How did Canada come to be a founding member of the League of Nations?

Asked by booya - Mon Jul 14 16:01:35 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As the League of Nations came out of the Treaty of Versailles, the nations who were on the winning side of the First World War became the first nations to join the organization; the exception was the United States, as the Senate refused to ratify the treaty. Germany was forbidden to join the League and the new Soviet Union was also excluded, as they made a separate peace with Germany in 1917. The same thing happened when the Allied nations signed the United Nations charter during the Second World War. Canada became a charter member of that organization also. However, only one person was a signatory of both the League of Nations and United Nations charters: Jan Smuts of South Africa.

A. NO the caregiver MUST be living in Canada WITH the family - the family MUST be in Canada when they apply. The caregiver will live in and work for you for 2 years. Once that 2 years is complete they can apply for PR status and get their caregiver work permit changed to an open permit, so they can work for whomever they choose.

A. www.cic.gc.ca There is no cheap and easy way to immigrate to Canada. There is currently a backlog of around 900,000 and Canada only admits 250,000 per year. Legislation was passed recently to speed up the process, but it is likely that it will speed it up by raising the bar for entry. If you go to the website you will see that they suggest that you don't bother applying if you don't have the required points.
