What Would You do with a Million Dollars?

[MTL]

Oh so many things.

build a sustainable, off-grid, green house...with a rooftop garden and outdoor kitchen, in Montreal.

get involved in some way with issues confronting First Nations

start some sort of initiative improving relations between Francos and Anglos

set up a professional sewing studio, hire an instructor, and start designing my own clothes

set up a recording studio, learn to use it, and start recording music.

set up multiple organizations to help animals...dog rescue, raptor conservation, cetaceans, moose (research how to address the snow-tick problem), caribou, wolves, sharks, elephants, Polar Bears, etc.

Do something in Accessible Media

Do something in Canadian film, esp. with Francophone or First Nations directors.

Finish the program I'm currently in and then either take Law or Engineering.  Maybe both.

Swim with Manta Rays

Maybe see the Polar Bears of Churchill, Manitoba, from the Tundra Buggy:






Go to the North Pole and look for a Narwhal

Go to Iceland and learn about their green, sustainable building and energy methods

Go to Finland and stay in the glass-roof igloo rooms in Hotel Kakslauttanen to lay in bed and watch the Aurora Borealis:





Tour Canada, the USA, especially see the Giant Sequoia trees, Yosemite and Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Death Valley, the Bonneville Salt Flats;

and I'd like to stay in Giraffe Manor in Kenya, too:





I'd go and poke round the old WWII Maunsell Sea Forts in the Thames estuary:




visit the Galapagos, visit Easter Island, visit Australia and New Zealand, maybe hold a baby platypus:





...and buy Habs season tickets, of course.
