Wow.. as someone who continually claims to be a bassist, I hope you're joking. You are not a bassist if you do not know who Geddy Lee is.Aunel said:

We have 6 years fo elementary school (7 if you count kindergarten).
Then 5 years of High School.
Following that, you have three options (and note that the acronyms stand for the French definition, since I have no idea how to say that in English):
* DEP: Technical school, more focused on technical skills than theory (electricians, plumbers, mecanicians, lots of others). And I insist on the fact that these are important jobs, regardless of what mothers think in general.
* Professional DEC: You go in a college we call "Cegep", and spend a minimum of three years in a technical program. Even though those are labeled "technical", lots of work and study in general are involved. Available programs touch pretty much evertyhing: health care (nurses, laboratory technicians, dieticians), IT (programmers and technicians), design, cinema, fashion...
* Preparatory DEC: Also in a Cegep. That program lasts two years, and its goal is to prepare students for university, depending on what you want to study in.
Then, it's university, it that applies. Someone with the professional DEC can go to university afterwards, since credits earned are usually recognized.

I don't know about the others, but I get along fine with English-speaking Canadians.reg42 said:
Yeah, we usually get along well with each other. But once we start talking about whose language is better - then the fists usually come up. hahaha; but other than that - all canadians get along pretty well with each other.Dublin Solo said:

Its a bit like the intro to Star Trek, to "Boldly go" where no man has gone before.
It should be "to go boldly".
Monkey Death Vagina.
actually, one or two correction there. you can stop after the 4th year of high school if you are older than 16, and start a DEP.Dublin Solo said:
in CEPGEP there's also a AEC, which is like a water down version of a DEC. Usually you take that if you want to study part time.
the same exist at university, and it's call a certificate. 3 certificate equals a BAC.
as for university, 3 first years are a BAC, 4 more years (i think) give you a Maitrise, and 3 more years again to have a doctorat (but i not that sure for maitrise and doctorat)
Most of the time, but there's asshole in both side. I,ve wiork a lot in retail, and i've seen people looking to me in disgust because i said bonjour instead of hi, and asking me : "young lady we are in canada speak in english"reg42 said:
but also, i've work in a blockbuster and one client keep comming, take like 10 movies on the floor, bring them at the register, then give me the movie one by one saying : "i want to see this one, but it's in english only, and i want this one too, but it's also only in english, and this one have an english title, etc... so finally, i will take nothing" and leave.
let say it depend of the situation
What is it like living in a communist regime where the Marxist national healthcare causes millions to go without being able to see a doctor, and diseased bodies and motherless infants litter the streets?
But seriously, how is the healthcare?
