I need REASONS. Not SARCASM. Not SNIDE REMARKS. Here's what I have so far:\n> France has plenty of backyard birds.\n> The majority of our current customers fall into the age range that is most populous in France  (15-64 years: 65.3%)\n> Canada is a French-speaking country (23.2%)\n\n\nI'm drawing a blank.........help!

Yes, we do have lovely songbirds here but bird feeders are readily available already so you need to think of some sort of characteristic that your bird feeder has that the ones that we have do not have. You need a selling point.\n\nYour selling point should not be protection against squirrels because we don't have the American gray squirrel. The little red ones that we have don't live near people, they are very shy and do not attack bird feeders.\n\nMaybe they are easier to load, or hold more seeds without spoilage or maybe your feeder has a design that prevents wastage of seed falling to the ground. I haven't seen your feeder so I don't know how to sell it.\n\nYou can see the kind of feeders that we use on the web site of the LPO (League pour la Protection des Oiseaux).\n\nIf you can send me a picture of your feeder, maybe I can think of some more ideas.\n\n\nOh, yes, Thank you, Mr. Curious for your helpful comments.

New Zealnaders rather like you Canadians: you make polite guests, and you have charming accents. We share a lot in common, such as government and hatred for all Americans :), and we are both quiet acheivers in international politics. \n\n We don't like the fact that you still have French people, and have stopped playing international cricket and rugby, though. :)

this question's kind of too big for a full answer on yahoo answers... but i would suggest you start with wikipedia and then follow links to the bits and pieces that interest you. (e.g. looking up a particular species that you want to use as an example). there are heaps of reasons birds migrate--seasonality of food source, mating, nesting site being overly far from a constant food source, etc... really, just start with wiki to get a basis and then hunt down the specifics. there are heaps of birdwatchers sites which will have nice pix on them too if you google them. good luck.

Une choses est sûre je ne prendrais pas autant de plaisir à regarder les matchs de l'équipe de France quand Zizou prendra sa retraite. Déjà quand il avait fait une parenthèse d'un an le plaisir n'y était plus. C'est un mythe qui s'en va... Enfin sa carrière n'est pas encore terminée et espérons qu'il la prolongera jusqu'au 9 juillet !

Faut pas généraliser ! C'est vrai quand-même que beaucoup d'Américains ont une opinion sur tout sans bouger de leur sofa..FoX TV is GOD !\n\nIt's a love- hate relationship. When I read above - forgot the name , fitzstg- immediately the book "60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong" came to my mind...and it was linked as a source !\n\nBoundaries..what is personal and what is not..we have different notions. People do not understand this concept.\nI would never ever say "I hate such and such nationality" myself. I might dislike a mentality but the person comes first.\n\nIn my view, Americans tend - ON THE WHOLE - to view things as black and white/wrong- right. No shades of grey, no in-between. If you look up answers here, most tend to be : no way or yes....not "depends on the situation..etc".\n\nEuropeans view life and human beings as much more complex than than. Germany and France were enemies for such a long time.....but now they certainly are NOT.\n\nI think some Americans should see what life is all about in Europe. Coming from Northern France, we all look and have respect towards each other. Germans and French will put flowers on cemetaries and we all respect each other. The past is the past. I have yet to view or hear about confrontations between the French and German folks in "sensitive" areas.\n\nI hate those stereotypes too.....especially those which are offending and totally wrong and made from ignorant people on top of that.\n\nForget the stupid people. I have met enough absolutely brilliant, charming, open-minded anglo-saxon people !\n\nThere are always things to learn from another culture too !\n\nYou know..at the end I still don't know !! What I have noticed is that the media in North America is still very much conservative. OK I'm a girl (well..no more) but when I pick up magazines for women from the US.......so boring..the French ones: at least stg interesting !!\n\nBy the way : British people are not stuck up at all !!\n\nNope..I like Americans anyway :-). They have a zest for life, they can be brilliant..Pity too many are "child-like" and not very world-wise and kind of stuck in the past as well ?? Don't forget : so many just do not travel at all and just watch stupid propanganda TV.\n\nBut are the French better ?? On some things yes..but not all ! They are the same : too many think - old generations anyway - that they are better than the rest of the world..NOT ! and say the same things "I hate Americans, Brits etc" without knowing any actually !\n\nBon cela va être à mon tour de me faire crucifier. Il y a plein de cons partout : en France, en Amérique, partout..\n\nPS.. and I do not know what is so good about Frenchmen..either !! Just another stereotype among others. Frenchmen are no better than any other nationalities at all :-))) EH EH !

Canadians are generally nice people, their country looks like the US but the people is much more "European", even if they are also very north Americans in most ways.  I must say that I know especially Fench-Canadians, because I visited Montreal and Quebec.

I couldn't agree more.  I happen to like the Canadians, but their holier than thou attitude and their adherence to uncontrolled multiculturalism is sometimes grating.  And just because they have universal health care doesn't mean it is necessarily better.  For instance, the city of Detroit has more MRI machines than the whole of Canada.  In fact, Canadians flock to cities like Detroit for more immediate access to health care that they would have to wait months for in Canada.  That having been said, I would like to take the best of Canada and the USA and make one large beautiful country.

I've never felt Canadians by and large had this attitude. But it is a fairly liberal country. That doesn't mean liberalism is bad, but some liberals, and I prefer to be called liberal, are very arrogant and think others are barbarians in comparison to them. That is my honest observation.

Much less so than in most countries.  However, in all countries, there is some bias....Canada is one of the better countries that way in my opinion.

I was unaware Canadians hated US people, with exception to the French Quarter. I was in Canada and was treated very kindly by almost everyone I met. They are the most, laid back, easy going people I have ever seen and just being around them reduces stress. I don't agree with what you stated but I am sure people have had other experiences. Mine were wonderful and I really want to go back. It was the best vacation I ever had, eh?. Thank you for asking, eh?

Today there are old books on line because the copy wright has expired and many are being typed in a web site for all to read free. The farm as we know it was just emerging for the common man from life as a serf tied to the land owner. Many farmers in Europe were just allowed to use a piece of land. In New France some came out and claimed land just by marking it in an area protected by their soldiers. There is an amazing story of a French group being sold land on the  Ohio River that was totally undeveloped. The immigrants were all from down town Paris and were used to working one job for the aristocracy. When they had spent all their savings and traveled by ship and land to the river location they found huge trees and wonderful soil. Without proper tools they chopped tree after tree and then hollowed them out for a home. Animals and fish were obtained anyway they could. Gunpowder was there but scarce. The will to live away from the crazy Kings in Europe and the many wars allowed the spirit of the pioneers to be totally awesome. They stayed until a farm was made. The Louisiana French were taken by the English army and forced to beg among the New England colonies one winter . Life was never safe anywhere.

That sounds like a smart ass anwser to me. Actually that was what I would have put. It's Canadian Goose. Named for the country of Canada.

No one really knows why they were called french fries in the first place, since they were invented in America.  It is very obvious we had them longer than the french, just walk down a city street in america and try to find a girl to pick up, then do the same thing in france!  I will bet you anything the french girl will get picked up first, mainly because her legs won't make noise from rubbing together when she walks.  And as far as hypocrites go, look who leads our country!  He has a campaign against drugs, yet did cocaine, and he is pondering starting a draft, when he himself went awol during the Nam.  now that i have said that, i realize how sad we are, i think i'm goign to move!  how hard is it to get a visa in France?

Canada is a nice country, maybe the people from China see a life there they'd want to live.  There's plenty of everything in Canada and no population problem and it's as good a place as any to migrate to.

I was" born in the USA" but I have lived all over Canada.I love the winters and I love British Columbia.Canada is a very nice country with great people(not crazy about Quebec).But I of course prefer the USA because its my home.But I could live in Canada if I needed to .It would offer no hardship to this desert rat from Arizona.(I love to ski,and that helps lol)

I fish up in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  It's wilderness type country.  I fish in the spring, because while it's often cool- NO!darned cold, I avoid all the bugs.  The fishing is usually GREAT.  Northern pike, walleyes, perch, trout, and muskies.  You can usually catch enough that IF you kept all you catch, the weight would sink the boat.  We camp.  But, there are lodges.  You see eagles, beavers, bears, and moose.  You'll often see the "Northern Lights"  You'll hear loons, which to me IS, the sound of the North.  If you are seeking a wilderness fishing trip, you won't beat Canada, unless you go to Alaska.  I'd be happy to provide specific info, if you wish.
