Im going to college and iv been to usa a couple of times before but wasnt so confortable at this situation. When going to a party or a get together how do you greet a guy and a girl? Im a guy so in my country we usually hand shake the guys and kiss the girl in the cheek.

Americans seem to be more casual about that stuff.

In a formal gathering, what you said would be appropriate (hand shake or cheek-kiss). In a more casual setting, just a "hey, how are ya" is sufficient.

After the second world war,what was the North America look like?Can you talk about the economy,the women,the people’s lives and so on?

Other stuff besides the war had an effect. One of the largest was the sudden baby boom. (more born but also fewer die because of better medicines) you also need to consider the effect of industrialism on the farm(fewer farmers needed) and the resulting move into industrial cities. This was made easy by the increased number of manufacturing jobs. (partly a result of wartime production increases) The expansion of housing needs for new families and the availability of cars lead to suburban development(called a move out of the city) and the creation of shopping malls. This was all fired by increased credit to expand the money supply. Greater production of manufactured goods creates the "consumer society". that is enough for now. These trends were all there before but the war ended the attempt by monetarists to control the depression by raising interest rates and forcing wages lower.

Hello,

I am just curious and confused about what Canada has done to help Somalia regarding the pirate issue.

Can someone please briefly explain what the issue is and how Canada has sent some sort of aid/intervention to Somalia.

What would Canada’s stance be on this issue?

Thanks for all the help in advance.

UN resolution 1851 authorizes land operations against pirates http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jI1KyGToDT7msGB7GG_wAbOsHyaA
i see the terrorist and warlords as more of a problem for somalia itself, than the pirates.

What was the main focus of French exploration and colonization through the 17th century in North America?

A. The lucrative Northern fur trade
B. Fortifying the Atlantic Coast to protect French possessions in the Caribbean
C. Providing an outlet for excess population from French cities
D. Gold and silver mining

I have a feeling it’s either A or D, but I have NO idea. I can’t find the answer anywhere! <:O

Your answer is A. At least according to Wikipedia:

"After its failed attempt at a colony in the 1540s, for a time France limited its colonial interests in what would become Canada to fishing in the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland. By the beginning of the 17th century, however, the French had become very interested in the fur trade, and this led them to push inland to better trade with American Indian tribes. French interest in the area began with the founding of Tadoussac in 1599. In 1603, Samuel de Champlain made his first trip to North America on a fur trading expedition. … In 1608, he created a fur trading post that would grow into the city of Quebec, a settlement that later became the capital of French North America."

Canada can’t even qualify for the final hexagonal round of CONCACAF, which is the easiest group in the world to qualify out of. Canada can’t even support it’s own National league and has to compete in its neighboring country’s league. Canada hasn’t qualified for the World Cup since 1986. Why are they so bad?

CANADA don’t have enough good players.

This is for a school project:
What are some animals that live in north america that can’t survive in cold?
What are some animals that live in New Zealand that can’t survive in heat?
Each anwser is much aprecated!

I see a lot of domestic animals freeze to death each year, mostly cats that have been left outside by their neglectful owners.

It says $39 for US so i assume it’s gonna be insane for canada if u include duties.
Does anyone have a clue to what it’ll cost/has anyone ordered directly from them to Canada.
Thanks.

I went to shopzilla.ca and it took me to Infomercial Central, which appears to be a Canadian website. You can get the Magic Bullet plus some extras (like a cookbook) and juice extractor lid for $49.99.

Since I got to it through a Canadian website, I’m hoping that it, too, is a Canadian website, but I can’t tell for sure. In any case, here is the link, and there is a form to fill out to contact them, if you like. Otherwise you could probably just start the ordering process and see what happens:
