SomewhereInCanada was born in July
of 2000. But, its creators have been on the internet and involved with
computers for years. They felt it was about time to actually make a
contribution to the net.
 The specific focus of the site is simply
"FOR CANADIANS". It doesn't necessarily mean that all the information, pages or
anything here is only found in Canada, made by Canadians or about Canada - it
just means that anything written here is geared towards the Canadian
populace.
That might seem like a very broad approach, and it is, especially
considering that Canadians aren't so different than people in the rest of the
world. But then again, there must be a reason why we choose to live in/move to
and remain in Canada and live as Canadians. More practically, there are certain
things that we want to offer here that will act as a resource to Canadians.
Our current sections include:
- Contests &
Sweepstakes: A directory of contests & sweepstakes, plus some great
resources including article, hints & tips, books, etc.
- Freebies: Lots of
free stuff.
- Shopping Online: A
directory of Canadian & Canadian-friendly stores. Includes information on
if the store is in Canada or elsewhere, store currency, if free shipping is
offered, any deals offered, etc.
- Charity: A small
charity section including charitable organizations and how to help out
different organizations for free.
- The Playground:
This section includes free games, free daily tarot card readings, jokes, funny
pictures, eCards, Shuffle the Web interface to visit various websites and other
fun stuff!
- Essential Links:
Links we feel are important or essential for Canadians who are online. The
categories included are: Crisis, Dating, Education, Employment, Financial,
Government, Health, Language, Lottery, Media (includes Radio, Newspapers &
Magazines), Movie Listings, News, Search for People, Travel and Weather.
- My 2 cents: Vince gets
crazy about small thing. This forum allows him to vent some of his
frustrations. Feel free to vent right along with him!
Most importantly, a lot of time and effort is placed in ensuring
that everything on this site is available to Canadians. The only exception to
this rule is where certain items might be limited only in that they are
available based on the province you live - especially in the case of Quebec,
where laws are place that prohibit a number of offers from being valid.
The site has been a growing project, and we've been thrilled at
its progress. We really enjoy the creative process and hope to continue to grow
along with our readers. Welcome to our site, and if you have any suggestions,
ideas or feedback, please let do let us know.
It's all about the cats!
We love cats and we are not afraid to admit it. If we could afford
it we would rescue many more stays and give them a loving home.
Emotion is our oldest (1992). She has always been the nervous
type, which gives her the airs of being aloof. But since the introduction of
many other cats in her life she has learned to purr. She had even come to be
friends with Puddertat!

Pud died too young.
(May 1997 - 16 Apr 2005) She was a stray until her third year. She hid
continuously for the first three months my mother had her. Then one day she
just decided to come out and be as loyal and friendly as any dog. Never
forgotten.

Augustus Eves was rescued from starvation by Puddertat. She alerted us to
his presence while at her post doing her squirrel patrol. He was just weeks old
and literally a bag of bones. I am thankful we never found the owners of
'Gusto'. Ever since the arrival of Ash and Coal, he has grown from a
rambunctious kitten into a mature cat.

'Molly E. Cule' came as a package with our house. She is prim
and proper. Except when trying to give her any medicine! Then she has the
strength of 100 tiny cats! Initially from a single cat household, she never was
comfortable with the other cats. When she is bold enough, she will storm up to
other cats like a gorilla with her chest all puffed out. Unfortunately her
stubby arms preclude her from protecting herself. She now lives downstairs,
comfortably, with my mother in law. |
Ashley Grey is the twin brother
of Coal Grey. It is hard to believe that these two were never adopted for the
first year of their lives. Ashley is the more energetic of the two and he could
play until he passed out. He keeps the house clear of flys. He is more monkey
than cat. He can climb wire fences and catch birds in mid air.

Coal Grey is the twin brother of
Ashley Grey. Coal is the lover boy of the house. He is very similar to
Puddertat in temperament and size (20 lbs). He is a gentle giant who just wants
to be friends with everyone. Sadly he seems to be the odd boy out during
playtime. A bundle of hugs!

Sowan is our newest member. She is another stray
who is a real sweetheart. We were worried the boys would terrorize tiny Sowen,
as they do the other girls. She just ignores the boys and actually tires them
out during play time. Coal is in love with her because she plays with him. If
you look closely she looks like Oscar the Grouch with tiger tail colorings.

The twins, Ash and Coal, are really robot cats with
laser eyes! |
