What’s the deal with the
second-largest river systems? My girlfriend is studying for the test. The manual says:
New Brunswick has
the second largest river system on North America’s Atlantic coastline. [Doesn’t sound like much, frankly: just on the coastline, and second...] The MacKenzie River is the
second-longest river system in North America. [that’s slightly better, but still...]. [

(Second
largest without a hyphen, but
second-longest with. Weird eh?)

Of course, knowing who the first woman publisher is is waaaay more important, but I thought some questions might be about what is the pride of Canada now. And why are sports, or inventions, more important than movies or pop music? I bet many more people listen to Celine Dion than use BlackBerry. In fact, their best bet is to listen to Celine Dion ON their BlackBerry. (While sitting on a Bombardier jet and drinking Labatt Ice).

My question was inspired by a website that I found recently: the Consulate of India in Jedda, Saudi Arabia. Here’s what it says:
[http://www.cgijeddah.com/cgijed/Welfare/deathbooklet.htm]
The maximum amount of Death Compensation (Diyya) generally admissible in Saudi Arabia, in respect of road/traffic/fire accident, murder, etc. is as under:
Death Compensation in respect of a male person:
- Muslim - SR. 100,000/-
- Christian/Jew - SR.50,000/- (in case you’re wondering, it's C$ 14.000)
- Other religions : such as Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, etc. - SR 6666.66
In the case of death of a female, death compensation allowed is equal to half the amount as admissible to males professing the same religion. (thus, the family of a Christian woman killed in Saudi Arabia can ask for 7 thousand Canadian dollars).
