Al, the decent laws are also why people hold the ability to be citizens of more than one nation.

That’s why Ed is able to hold a British passport; technically he could hold a Ukrainian one as well - his grandparents’ were born in Ukraine.

Al, I always thought you were a terrorist. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't write that someone's a terrorist on public website. For the record, I know you're not a terrorist Al. There, that should do.

Speaking of terrorists though, David Staples collected some of his old pieces on Wiebo Ludwig. A lot of this stuff was news to me. I had previously felt a little sympathy for the guy, but not at all anymore. If you don't know anything about Wiebo, this is a very interesting read:

Part 1

Part 2

Interesting article in the Edmonton Journal today about passport and descent by blood. Apparently a country can claim descent laws even though by birth you are born in another country. Which would definitely explain the extra questioning I get at customs.

1)I'm a non Caucasian working in the energy sector.

2)By descent laws I could be a national of Malaysia, note this is a Muslim country.

3)Also by descent laws I could be a national of China a commie country!

Anyways just shows the screening airport security will go through.

this seems like something that will be duly appreciated on here:



wish I'd seen this before Christmas though!

As I said earlier, sadly, I can't come. It's Ukrainian Christmas, and I've got a crazy deadline on Sunday. le sigh. next time!

I do want to see it but I can't make it tomorrow.

Sorry for the late invite, but I'm trying to get peoples together to see Avatar tomorrow, if you're interested in joining up with us we're seeing the 7pm showing at South Edmonton Common - give me a shout! 995-6845
