Hi

I believe I discussed the viability of FSF in Canada and the issue at hand is that there is no point in making a separate branch for Canadians because any donations they make are not tax deductible and would be the same in effect as donating directly to the FSF in the USA.

I agree.

I keep overextending myself and -- trying to limit the project load --
am only good for a bit of 'relief pitching' for some time.  Probably
measurable in years, I'm afraid.

If some kind of loose advocacy/policy 'team' forms, I'd be happy make
whatever small contribution I can.

And of course, if there is a fsf.ca hat, I'll buy one. <grin>

All the good things,
David Henry
