In Canada, your mother's maiden name is used for every kind of
security imaginable from credit cards to access to the privy council
as far as I can tell. I encounter it everywhere I go and for me it
recalls some rather painful memories related to her death. I think
that they just believe in motherhood. I had a super mother who was
100% Canadian as they say here tue blue. -- Paul.
