>>>Hi Claudio,
>>>the biggest/hardest part is getting here in the first place. We are truly an international community: I am from UK and I have had people born in Philippines, Roumania, Argentina, China, etc (as well as of course Canadian born people) working in my department over the last 15 years.
>>>It's a pity that we (Canada) lose so many good people to the US but that's the lure of big money...
>>>Of course there are some Canadians that we don't mind losing at all - I won't mention any names; but I do object to our southern cousins swiping Shania Twain!!! Now there's a programmer :)

>>I would not mind shipping Britney Spears to Canada in return for Shania!

>Britney?
>That don't impress me much! :-)


Wow! Judging by the drift on a thread posting "Help Wanted" I'd say the recession is about over!
