Finlay, good to hear, my response to Jed did not get through. I would be interested how You see this from a Canadian perspective.
So here it is: ------------------- ok, Canadian immigration does not care, who immigrates. 1) On this level it is just about the rules. Pay yor dough, be compliant, pass basic tests. No problem here. 2) On a higher level, say Canadian secret service, it is about risk assessment. Could the immigrant be a risk to the nation, whatever that is? DGT very well be maybe a new type of national risk. They may very well be asleep at the wheel, and not recognize this. 3) The next level would be DGT starting operations within CDN, plus being successful, which wakes up the institutions. 4) On the next level it gets political. Even a moderate chess-player like myself could anticipate these moves. If you do not anticipate, you are on the losing street. So what happens next? 5) Here we enter the domain of the probable, where I speculate, that the Harper-government would step in and limit DGTG-in-CDN operations, as soon as it gets effective. The fossile-energy lobby in CDN is probably the biggest in the country. Considering this, DGT would be well advised to stay in Greece, where law and lobby-interests are weak, -only corruption there- and not operate near the belly of the energy-beast, which will fight teeth and claw to prevent energy-revolution. Probabilistic in this sense: that a chess player enters the domain of future moves, where nothing is certain, but (im-)probable. The parameter-space of chess is tiny compared to real life, as we all know, and the way to reduce degrees of freedom is common sense. Finally: Considering this, DGTs move seems to be a bad move to me. But I might be wrong. Such is my -ahem- probabilistic thinking. The beauty: I will never be disappointed. I eventually just lose. But this is the nature of the game. I just modify probabilities next time, if there is a 'next time' ;) Guenter ________________________________ Von: Finlay MacNab <[email protected]> An: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Gesendet: 22:51 Freitag, 27.Juli 2012 Betreff: RE: [Vo]:ICCF-17: Brillouin is no more? As a research scientist working for a solar start-up in Vancouver, I agree with Jed. It would be wonderful if Defkalion moved here. I would love to nanostructure some nickel for them! ________________________________ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:48:11 -0400 Subject: Re: [Vo]:ICCF-17: Brillouin is no more?

I am not sure what "probabilistic" means in this context. But in any case, your statement about how the Canadian government might refuse to allow an incorporation is nonsense. The law does not permit that. - Jed
