Living in Gatineau, Québec, Canada. That’s just north of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I’m surprised that there hasn’t been other Quebecers coming here: I know **matt\_mcl** , **Bryan Ekers** , **detop** and **LaurAnge** also live in my province (they’re all Montrealers, though). ---

Pssst, **Idle Thoughts** , you’d probably best not list New Zealand under the sub-category _Various Islands_ in the Australian section. New Zealand is a sovereign nation (until we invade), and it’s actually quite a long swim. Give it its own heading, or suffer the consequences, which are… um… oh I dunno, they’ll throw a sheep at you or something. 😃 ---

New Zealand is a sovereign nation (until we invade), and it’s actually quite a long swim. Give it its own heading, or suffer the consequences, which are… um… oh I dunno, they’ll throw a sheep at you or something. 😃 Listen to this advice! Call us a “various island” of Australia and we won’t throw a sheep at you but we will pelt you with the sheep shit (even though Aussies have more sheep then we do!). If you need a handy-Dandy label, Aussies and Kiwis can be called Antipodeans. Various Island!? Grumble Grumble Grumble! ---
