On April 1, 1999 the Northwest Territories will divide into two parts: the eastern portion will be called Nunavut, the western part has not yet decided on a name. It will be the first time the map of Canada will change since Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949.
Nunavut means "our land" in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit. The territory of Nunavut will be fives times larger than Alberta, with a population of 24,000, of whom 85 per cent are Inuit.

    Cost of Gas getting you Annoyed ?

    Click Here
     for locations near you for cheap gas.
    .............................................................

    pasted out of Ont.Events newsgroup.....
    ................
    I've heard about the plan for a gas boycott on April 30th. I think I've got a more 'refined' plan. Let's pick on one big gas company..say...'Esso' in Canada and 'Exxon' in America. Let's all vow to never again buy gas from this company. The objective: #1. To show the power of the consumer. #2. To write history, just before the end of the century and bring down a major corporation. We need to set an example...to keep all big monopolies (not just oil companies) on their toes...to show it can be done. The result? Sure, gas prices will come down and stay down..not just for one day. So click on the "edit" button on your browser, copy this text, and paste and post anywhere you think appropriate. Spread the word. (If you agree with my strategy that is). And happy motoring by the way!
    Yours truly,
    Mark, Vancouver, Canada.

    ................
    Mark,
    You're idea to boycott one big gas company is great. I already do that. I will NOT buy gas from Esso or Petro Canada .... why? Because they are always the first to hike the prices up. Pioneer and Mr. Gas seem a little more competitive.

    Feedback on The Gas Out

    First, we want to thank everyone, pro and con, that took the time to visit the www.GasOut.org website and send their input and local gas prices. All the input has been greatly appreciated.
    Please visit http://www.gasout.org/result.htm and check out the results of the April 30th GasOut.
    Next, I would like to inform everyone about the future direction of the GasOut Protest. Our next GasOut day is scheduled for Tuesday, May 18th. This is to coincide with the San Francisco Bay Area's local 'Bike to Work Day.' I know that not everyone can bike to work, and that we have received messages from all over the world, but you can participate too by using some form of alternative transportation this day. Car pool, take the bus, train, ferry, walk, ride a bike or swim!!! But on May 18th, don't buy gasoline, and reduce your consumption of gasoline. Remember, the only way to really impact the big oil companies is to reduce your consumption.
    Lastly, we would like to call for a one month boycott of all Chevron stations. There has been a lot of suggestions, that for the protest to have an impact, we need to target a single company. Chevron is a good choice for several reasons. One, their poor maintenance resulting in a oil refinery fire in March. Two, because Chevron's CEO had nothing good to say about us at Chevron's annual shareholders meeting last week. We really didn't expect him to, but his comments were enough to earn our wrath. And last, because the refineries profits margins are up \\$0.43 (source: KGO TV 7) since March 1st, and Chevron has no intentions of lower gas prices. So, please show Chevron's CEO, Mr. Kenneth Derr, our displeasure, and don't frequent Chevron's stations for the month of May.
    If you would like to call Chevron, toll free, to tell them how you feel, you can reach them at 1-800-243-8766.
    Thanks again to everyone that visited the web site, and took the time to send your input. Special thanks to all that participated in the GasOut on April 30th. We can make a difference.

    SAVE our JAILS has directed any proceeds from this to be forwarded to The Heart Fund - so we are not making any money on this.

    The above download will put an executable in your download folder. Close all other applications and maintain your internet connection as it is called on. In my case, the install wanted to write on several files that were newer than the ones from the install and an option was given to avoid this. After the install, on rebooting your machine, this test will run in DOS and advise you of your Y2K situation. You may then opt to purchase the necessary software via the net if your system fails the test!

    Good Luck

    NATIONAL SECURITY
    My sources from The United States tell me that there is a threat to National Security in Miami. This threat is in the form of a newspaper columnist named Dave Barry - his article of May 14th is pasted below for you to read.
    To keep a close eye on this columnist, we offer you this LINK
    Click on Miami Herald/Living Section/Dave Barry
    Published Friday, May 14, 1999, in the Miami Herald And Don't Forget ... Tassels for the Generals By DAVE BARRY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whatever you are doing, drop it right now, unless it is a baby. Because I have obtained some shocking information regarding our National Security -- information that I am going to reveal to you now, despite the chilling fact that, by revealing it, I am placing myself in direct, personal peril of winning a Pulitzer Prize.
    This information concerns some alarming military research currently being conducted by a foreign power that represents the greatest single security threat to the United States, as measured not only by the magnitude of the physical danger, but also by the number of Celine Dion records.
    That's right: I am referring to Canada. As you may recall, last year I urged the United States to declare war on Canada over the issue of toilet smuggling. In the United States, we have a federal law, enacted by Congress, requiring that new consumer toilets be limited to 1.6 gallons of water per flush. There is an excellent reason for this law: Congress has the brains of an eggplant. But that does not change the fact that it is a law.
    Canada, however, flagrantly disobeys this law, on the grounds that -- get THIS for a legal technicality -- it is a foreign country. In Canada, anybody, including convicted felons and underage children, can walk into any toilet store, purchase a 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet and openly flaunt it on the street, and the authorities do NOTHING. As I reported, some of these toilets are finding their way across the border into the United States. And what is our government doing? It is shooting cruise missiles at the Balkans, which do not even HAVE toilets.
    When are we, as a nation, going to wake up and recognize the REAL threat to our security? No doubt you are aware that just recently, in our nation's capital (Washington, D.C.), a number of highly strategic cherry trees were deliberately chewed by saboteur beavers. Ask yourself this: Where do beavers come from? The Balkans? No! Beavers come from Canada, and they take their orders from Canada and nobody else, as you know if you have ever tried to get one to fetch a ball.
    And now, as if we did not already have enough reasons to declare war on Canada, comes word of this chilling research being conducted by the Canadian military. I have here a news article from the Canadian Press, written by Dennis Bueckert and sent to me, at great personal risk, by an alert secret undercover agent in Canada named Lauren Leighton, M.D.This article, about a new Canadian armed-forces program, contains the following chilling sentence, which I swear I am not making up:

    .....An elite unit at National Defence headquarters is actively studying whether to proceed with development of the world's first combat bra......

    You read that correctly: The Canadian military is working on a combat brassiere. The article quotes Capt. Frank Delanghe, an officer with the \\$184-million Clothe the Soldier Program, as saying: ``No army that I know of has ever touched or even approached this issue.''
    How can we, the American public, remain sanguine in the face of this news? Especially when we do not really know what ``sanguine'' means? How can we sit back and do nothing when an increasingly hostile, beaver-infested, big-toilet nation spends \\$184 million (nearly $37.50 American) on a program to develop a high-tech futuristic assault undergarment? How would you feel if you were an American soldier guarding our northern border, equipped with only a conventional brassiere -- the basic design of which has not changed significantly since the Korean Conflict -- knowing that at any moment, elite Canadian troops could come charging across No Person's Land toward you, and the first sight you would see -- a sight that would strike terror into the heart of even the most hardened combat veteran -- would be the Cones of Doom?
    And while we are asking the tough questions, I have one here that was sent in by concerned reader Margaret Wilson of Santa Barbara, Calif., who wants to know: How come we say ``a pair of pants'' and ``a pair of shorts,'' but NOT ``a pair of bras?''
    I wish I could inform you that our so-called ``Defense Department'' was trying to answer these questions, but I cannot. And that is why I am urging you to write your congressperson NOW and tell him or her that you want the United States to launch a massive wasteful federal program to match Canada's military-undergarment research. Please keep your letter dignified. Do NOT lower yourself to cheesy wordplay such as ``support our troops,'' or ``stay abreast of our enemies,'' or ``check out the Balkans on that lieutenant.'' If we can get Congress to approve such a program, I have no doubt that the President will take a personal interest, especially when he realizes that, once we have perfected the Tactical Field Brassiere, we could adapt the same technology for even more advanced weapons. I am referring, of course, to the Stealth Thong.
