The rest of this post was my explanation of the greatness and potential of ADA and why I was so sad when I and several other who were in charge of promoting/enforcing the Canadian ADA policy were forced to abandon our efforts. I noted that they pulled this post and left people only to read the first line which was meant as a joke to open my disertation on my love for ADA. By the way, who pulled the post?
