I for one don't want my tax dollars going towards private industry to retrofit THEIR factories just so they can make MORE money on government contracts.

That's a recipe for disaster!... ]]> If Canadian autoworkers do not currently build the style of trucks our military needs then we fund them to train them and retrofit factories that are laying wasted to do just that.

Wrong.

First, the products should come from the companies that produce the best quality products.

Second, the products should come from the companies that offer their products at a fair price.

If Canadian companies can compete with the first two elements, then they should get priority.

To repeat, the order of importance should be: Quality. Price. Nationalism.

And our soldiers would agree with you, it's so rare for them to get equipment they need as it is...... ]]> This is the Canadian military and the product should come from Canadian companies by Canadian workers.

The only thing is that when we do go somewhere like the blueberry festival we tentatively sit at a table where we may or may not be welcome by one or all (after all we are taking up two seats at that table that could be occupied by cousin, brother, sis, old friend etc.) The luxury would be to be at a table full of people from away so we can be sure we are sitting with people who are ok with us being there and still have the opportunity to mingle with our new friends from the island.

Does this make sense?

It's interesting for me to read about the different experiences people have had. I guess we form our opinions about a place based on the relatively few contacts we make -- kind of like what we think about a company according to how the receptionist treats us. A group would likely attract those people who haven't had an easy time of it and who are looking for a support system. The ones who are happy and content would have no reason to even seek us out. As I said earlier, I know quite a few people who feel unwelcome on PEI, and it might help to find out that they're not the only ones. If you haven't had to deal with this, it's hard to understand, and it may be easy to dismiss it or even blame the individual. "You reap what you sow" is often true, but not always.

Anyway, I'd like to be involved in getting something going. I'll be away from today until the 23rd, but if anyone wants to contact me, my email address is gulotta@eastlink.com. (I swear, Gulotta isn't an Island name!)... ]]>
