You don't lose any rights as an American citizen, if you go up there...What are you talking about?
First off, the Canadians, have atleast as many rights as the Americans do, maybe more, and they're a lot more respectable, and humble about it, too. They don't go bragging to the world, and boasting about it to everyone, but in reality, they've got more freedoms than we do, and just about as many rights, with the exchange of a few. So big deal, they gave up their guns, they've got the med coverage instead which is likely more valuable anyways. I hate all of this American crap I hear all the time about us being the freeest country in the world and all of that... because its B.S. How many of you guys, out in Australia, or up in Canada will back me up on this one? I'm an American, but that doesn't mean I am free, or have free rights these days.
Second off..In moving to Montreal for work, he will not need to renounce his US citizenship or anything like that. Same as being here on a work Visa, they have a nice program for that over there. So, He won't be losing if he takes the job.
Finally, If being paid, in US denomination, and living in Canada...You've got it made. Our dollars go further there to begin with, and they love American money.

French will get you nowhere in Quebec. My bride speaks textbook French and recieved more than a few blank looks when attempting to speak to the locals in Quebec. Being the gracious folks that they are, most would quickly ask if English would be easier.

DONT USE KEROSENE BAD CHOICE WILL LOOSE ALOT OF POWER

trust me, went to hell with using kerosene. Lots of cloggings becuase it burns dirtier and loss of power that you can recognize.

Yes, the language up there, is actually called "French-Canadian", and is only similar, and derived from French, but not the same in as many ways as one would think. I tried mix and matching them on a few occasions, and they looked at me like I was from Mars...so I switched back to "French", when on the other side of the pond, and "French-Canadian", when back in Canada. Being fluent in the languages, and theire differences, is helpful. Guess you'll find out the differences when you try to speak French up in Canada though.
It's comparable to trying to speak Mexican Spanish, to a Puertorican..Same but different...Not just the dialect either...whole words are different.

NNot that they have any real "Power" to speak of, to begin with...LOL.

I live in Montreal. There is lots of support for Benz' up here, but the diesel's are very few and far between. Parts are available because most of the cars have rusted out by now. I had to get mine out of NJ.
