Still a place that I can order a drink, pay with a $20 and get more than twenty in return.... | |

| Edmonton? Damn.
I suppose it was too much to hope for it to be in driving distance three years in a row. Of course, one guy from my club said that he'd be willing to drive a bunch of people in his van, even if it was in Alberta ...
As for the date, it's usually in May or June. It could be a bit later, but it'll definitely be before September.
(This is assuming you mean Summer Nationals. If it's the Elite Nationals, I'm certainly not going ...)

What could be more fun? | |

| The Cdn Nationals is always on Victoria Day long weekend. Vicotria Day 2005 is on 2005/05/23.
Edmonton is a 12-hr drive from Vancouver BC even with a vanful of fencers, including the stops.
Jujie should be happy that Edmonton got the Nationals again.
--)----------
kalivor,
why don't you put at least the province you're in in your titles, or are you ashamed of your province.
--)----------
To all our American friends,
Thanks to President Shrub, the Cdn economy, the Cdn dollar etc. are doing much better than the US-equivalent.
the physical Cdn bills are also much better: colour-coded, like most other countries' bill note except the US of A, and now with new counterfeit prevention features: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/index.html
Also, the Bank od Canada is issuing a new quarter featuring a red poppy - the red will rub off from use - to commemorate what we Cdns call Remembrance Day, your Veterans Day.
Another thing:
In Canada, we have a federal agency controlling federal elections, so the rules are the same across the country, unlike the patchwork in the US.
I personally can't imagine doing electronic voting WITHOUT a paper trail. Can you imagine the fun the election officials may have???? How can you do a recount? You can't!!! an the returning officer in the States are elected! not unbiased career bureaucrats. Just remember Florida 2000!
:Shudder:

| Are non-Canadian fencers eligible to compete in this event? (For that matter, can non-US fencers compete at US Nationals?) | |

| Dee EffEll (I do so love the name), the deal is, Cdn Nats are open to Canadian residents only. So either you've got to find a way to establish residency = have a Canadian fencing membership (whether or not its a true address is up to you  ), or you can't fence. This is pretty much the one thing they wont let you fence as an American on a USFA membership.
But they're good to watch, and there's a Triplette vender there typically. | |
