No sweat, everyone's suffering from something :)

_In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts_ by Gabor Maté.

He documents life as a doctor in a medical centre in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside – AKA Canada's poorest postal code, AKA the heroin capital of North America.

In it he goes through a lot of the feelings you are, re: going to AA for his addiction, but I don't want to spoil the book for anyone. Very interesting read for those interested in addiction and mental health.

Good luck in your travels. Always remember, you are loved and you are worthy of being the best you.

Actually, this could help, too:

It's never too late. Please, please get help. You not only scare me, you scared everyone else who came across this thread. Wow, is it ever easy to push your buttons! Quite sad.

All the best, and good luck.

Good research. But sure, there are schools and a mesh of institutions that offer french services, but to be honest the health and future of french as a spoken language in the ROC is pretty bleak.

Graham Fraser's (The Commissioner of Official Languages) "Sorry I don't speak french" is a trove for more info about Canada's two official languages.

I know a lot of people will mention some obvious ones, like Mordecai Richler or Gabrielle Roy. Here are a few more contemporary novels worth checking out:

• Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill - probably won't give you the nicest view of Montreal, as it's set in the seedy drug scene of the 70s, but it's a pretty good read.
  
  
• Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan series - the original basis for the TV show "Bones", these murder mysteries follow fictional forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan. They're light, easy reads with an identifiable Montreal backdrop.
  
  
• Nikolski by Nicolas Dickner - originally published in French but available in English translation, follows the seemingly separate lives of three different characters who eventually end up in Montreal.

Sure, it's ISBN 1572594918. Well, to be accurate, that's Volume 1 of the books, as shown here. I also have Volumes 2 & 3, and two solutions manuals (the first being solutions for Volume 1, the second being solutions for Volumes 2 & 3 combined).

I read his legacy and the message was similar. Basically he's been fighting for the environment through every imaginable legal avenue as a prominent expert and Canadian icon for like 50 years. He's hit brick wall after brick wall and watched as everyone stood by and let environmental policies crumble over the years. I'd be surprised if he wasn't incredibly pissed.

Yup, it is true. Go to Main and Terminal in Vancouver during the summer and every squeegee kid out there is speaking français toujours. It is the epicentre of squeegee activity in BC.

Edit: Charlie Demers has written about this if you're interested in finding out more.

why surprised dude? law 101 is basically a non-issue now and in many ways can be credited with lowering the immediacy of the sovereignty movement (at least according to Graham Fraser ). Its reached political normalcy in Quebec. Because of it, something like 90% of anglos under 35 are bilingual. You are never going to repeal it, most people or politicians should move on and focus on more important/relevant issues effecting Montrealers/Quebecois.

This is an excellent book based around Montreal culture. There's even a quote from it on the $5 bill!

The thing is, there actually is a viable plan to reinforce the existing structure of the Turcot interchange and increase its lifespan by another 25 years. It seems that the basic architectural flaw with the Turcot (basically, that road salt is able to get into the structure and degrade it) is actually fix-able.

If you want to know more, I highly recommend reading Montreal at the Crossroads: Super Highways, Turcot, and the Environment it's a really good analysis of Montreal's overall transport infrastructure situation, and it goes over all the various solutions to the Turcot problem. It's a compilation by various authors, so it also includes all the different viewpoints. It may not be in bookstores, but the Biblioteque Nationale and all the university libraries have copies.

L'article sur Uber de la presse parle du problème du 'Dutch Sandwidch'. C'est effectivement assez répandu comme technique. Ça fait plusieurs années que je connais le stratagème. J'ai travaillé pour une compagnie qui, je crois, l'utilise. C'est en travaillant pour cette compagnie que j'ai appris que ça existait.

Évidemment, il existe beaucoup d'autres problèmes reliés à notre système de taxation.

Pour un peu d'histoire, il y a un chapitre dans le livre Business Adventure (en anglais) qui porte sur le sujet des taxes aux États-Unis et surtout comment les plus-nantis faisaient dans les années 60 pour les éviter. Ce que j'ai bien aimé de ce livre c'est que les choses n'ont pas trop changées depuis ce temps. Si vous êtes intéressés par les marchés boursiers et surtout si vous détenez des actions, je vous le conseille. Business Adventures Amazon

WTF did I just watch. Is this from a series on "how to be normal" for people with autism? Like: https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Spectrum-Guide-Sexuality-Relationships/dp/1849057052
