This C&C site

I always thought that this site was the English version (translated from French) of the numicanada site. I could never figure out why it was mentioned or recommended so many times on other sites, but seemed to never have any posts made. I went to the French site and there are all kinds of new and heavily discussed topics, so I take it that this English site is just for English posts. I saw that I was unable to make any post onto the French site even though I was signed in. Since the Canadiancopper coins site is down, I would suggest that all you English speakers start using this site so that it receives some traffic.
The thread that I wanted to comment on, using the French side, dealt with MK Blais's variety book. In my mind, save your money and do some independent study in other places and with other books or sites. The listings are full and complete, but the population and scarcity data is way off base. As a variety collector for over 40 years and writer or co-author on many studies, papers and presentations, I find a great deal of the data in the book inaccurate.
