competition in offline bookstores in Canada, it’s fitting that Amazon is bringing competition online with Amazon.ca. It looks like it’s still in a rollout phase, but it’s one way to give yourself an alternative to Chapters/Indigo that doesn’t break the bank (like paying for books in US$ would do).

noticed that the Handspring Treo is available now in Canada, from Rogers. The price is enough to make you think not twice but three or four times, but nonetheless…
Link and think
.
Today, December 1, is World AIDS Day, and to recognize the global impact of AIDS, mikel.org is participating in Link and Think. Whether or not your life has been touched by AIDS (and I’d find it hard to believe it hasn’t), we should remember that notwithstanding any advances in treatment over the last few years, AIDS is still a major problem – a plague in Africa – that deserves prompt attention. The following are a few links to sites that might be of interest today and the rest of the year.
- My Day Without Weblogs page from last year.
- COCQ-Sida: “COCQ-Sida is a coalition of 35 Quebec community organizations involved in the fight against AIDS. We act as the voice of these groups both within the province and across Canada. Our mandate is to represent member organizations and thereby promote co-ordinated action in areas of shared interest.”
- The Farha Foundation, Quebec’s leading AIDS fundraising organization.
- The Center for AIDS Services of Montreal (Women)
- The Canadian AIDS Society/Société canadienne du sida
- Centre sida McGill/McGill AIDS Center
- sida-vie in Laval (a suburb north of Montreal)
Today was
Remembrance Day in Canada and in many other countries. A particularly poignant one, in my opinion.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
From Parliament Hill in Ottawa
: At times like this, Canada and the US are, “not only like neighbours, but like family.”
