?
Thanks to Steve for creating a sub-culture (insert joke here) for us (mostly) North of the 49th, but I personally don't think a Canadian subforum on Optiboard is necessary.
In fact, about 8 or 9 years ago, there was a list serve started that lasted about 9 months until it went away for various reasons I won't bore you with.
I have travelled in the U.S. on Opti-business many times, and I will repeat here what I espouse there or to anyone who asks (thanks for asking...)
What is the difference between an optician from New Jersey or from Ontario?
Or Alberta or Montana?
No punchline on this one. As far as I am concerned, we are all part of one larger group. We do have different regulations and views- state by stae and province by province, but an optician is an optician. I am as likely to have the same views with someone from Michigan as I would from BC (actually, nah, nevermind). The main difference is educational requirements and legislation, but that's for a different thread.
Canada has a very very strong opticianry voice- go ask any member of your provinicial association about the Opticians Council of Canada... Might blow your nosepads off...
Really, what does an optician from Washington have in common with an optician from Georgia?? Everything and nothing.
Exactly...
Thanks for the separate forum, but I will still post all and any issues to the greater group as a whole, where ever you are from.
Just my half diopters (or is it dioptre?) worth.
