"The Orange" in French and Romanian
Bogdan Stefan was good enough to translate my story "The Orange" into Romanian, and to arrange for it to be translated into French by Michaël La Chance, a professor from Quebec.

Other than that I don't know; I've only been to Canada once.
I asked Canadian author Cory Doctorow what Canadians are like and he told me these jokes:
Q: How do you find the Canadian in an elevator?
A: Step on people's feet until someone apologizes.
Q: How many Canadians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two -- one to screw in the light bulb, and one to fly to New York to see if light bulbs are still cool.
So... thanks. I think. :-)
