In reply to: Jim (Canada) 's message, "Canadian Embassies" on 22:41:53 12/06/04 Mon

But this was an American in Canada, not a Canadian in the USA. And the details in my recounting of this story may be innacurate - it was something I read years ago - but the conversation is about right.

I am glad to hear of the addendum in your Canadian passport. Come to Venice and look at the plaque on the Consulate here. It advises British citizens in what circumstances they should address themselves to the consulate, and says underneath "In the absence of Commonwealth diplomatic missions in the city, Commonwealth citizens are advised that the above information applies to them also." Bravo.

And, I must say, it gives me a very good feeling to know that our governments work together on that level.

Isn't it a ridiculous inefficiency having British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Consulates in the same cities? Trade missions make good sense, but we should all be able to use each other's consulates anywhere.
