| Here's the thing. I'm actually planning to do this and have plans written to make it work. No matter though, I've found some partners locally to work on the project, and am in the process of setting things up. I know the discussions on here that have taken place in the past have been quite hypotheti... |

| tl;dr Whom do you expect to finance this project? We're hoping for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, but also plan to open a bank account to receive donations (through a local credit union) and also get an investment portfolio through a credit union. Once we get our committee going our first pr... |

| Val D'or is relatively south--but I see it get down to Minus 40 Celsius on a fairly regular basis. Sorry to get persnickety: The "Jersey" accent is actually a New York City accent--as spoken in nearby parts of New Jersey like Hoboken, Bayonne, and Jersey City. Most people in New Jersey, t... |

| In 2003, my wife and I took the train to Moosonee from Cochrane. My accent is pure Woody Allen New Yawk. Ah, get out of town! That's the area of Northern Ontario that I'm from originally! I was born in Timmins but I have family all over that part of Ontario, and some in the neighbouring region of Q... |

| Well, accents... For the longest time my accent was more or less generic Canadian, but over the years, I've been reading about various countries, centred around Northern Europe, Russia, and the British Isles, and have talked similar to that. Like lately I've noticed I've been talking kinda a cross b... |

| Wow Northlander, your plan is very ambitious, and very impressive; you've obviously given this a great deal of thought. I'm interested in hearing more about the aspie language you're developing; it sounds very complicated, but fascinating. Thank you! :) This language would primarily be based on Ger... |

| Hey, guys. I've been "New" here for about a couple of years, but this idea of an Aspergian country has intrigued me for the past two years and has got me thinking of applying it in the work I do. First of all, I've been working with a social-democratic political party in Ontario on various issues fo... |

| I live in Canada, and for the most part, all I've heard when it comes to group homes is how bad they are. There are documentaries about the state of group homes here, but for the most part, I consistently hear about how abusive the staff are (in some cases the stories remind me of the abuse I had in... |

| Well, I like to sneeze because it clears my nose, and relieves the tickling inside. I hate it when it gets stuck and won't come out. Thankfully, I'm not allergic to anything... I sneeze only once in a while. Five times at once is the record for me.... well, Swag doesn't go well with me. I'm allergic... |

I usually don't do it in public (but sometimes I do inadvertantly), but I have two really close friends who are auties and do the same thing.
