Mandriva hasn't had an office in Canada since the Montreal office closed in 2002 (or thereabouts). It's likely been a good 8-10 years. And the last of the Canadian remote contractors left almost 3 years ago. There is nothing Canadian about Mandriva anymore.

Although I do appreciate that if you wanted to cut the budget, you'd hire a bunch of Canadians and let go of the Brazilians... Canadians don't work for money, just firewood.
