	Tony, I'm confused at how U.S. citizens can be short-listed for
any Canadian hires.  I understand that Canadian job listings always state
something like "Canadian citizens and landed immigrants only need apply." 
Am I wrong, or does the wording of job listings have nothing to do with 
actual hiring? 

	I have a particular interest in this topic, since I'm doing my
dissertation on a comparative study (of health care politics) in Canada,
Australia and the U.S.  It would be nice to think that a position in
Canada was, at least, a possibility.
