Football Canada s'est constitué le 21 octobre 1882. Football Canada était à l'origine connu sous le nom de Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) et son objet consistait précisément à organiser les matchs éliminatoires entre les différentes équipes de la fédération. [...] Le 1er janvier 1967, la CRU a été remplacée par l'Association canadienne du football amateur (ACFA), personne juridique de droit public. En 1986, l'ACFA est devenue FOOTBALL CANADA pour mieux refléter sa dimension patrimoniale et remplir sa mission nationale. 4, record 1, French, - Football%20Canada

At Rosendahl the task of toolmaking has been taken beyond the realm of simple need. This Grand Cru foil cutter cuts foil with even edges-safely and easily. Place the foil cutter on the bottle, make a half turn to the left and a half turn to the right, and the foil is cut. Lift up and remove the foil. The four sharp knives on the foil cutter make one precise cut. The rubber edge secures the right cutting height. 1, record 2, English, - foil%20cutter

The French riposte to "SDRs" [Special Drawing Rights]. The CRU was proposed by Giscard d’Estaing in 1965 to link the creation of international reserves to total gold stocks(in contrast to the SDR proposal). Assistance to countries with payments difficulties would be by means of credits, not reserve creation(the SDR idea) ;and the CRU would enable reserve creation to be controlled by the "Group of Ten", rather than the "IMF", which was felt to be US dominated. 4, record 3, English, - CRU

La proposition dénommée CRU [fut] avancée d'abord par les Français [...] Les «Composite Reserve Units» seraient créées en cas de besoin en quantités convenues par [le groupe des] Dix [...] et seraient distribuées entre eux en stricte proportion des réserves d'or de chaque pays, contre des contributions équivalentes de leurs monnaies nationales respectives à un pool commun de monnaie destiné à garantir les nouvelles unités créées. Ensuite, les règlements entre les pays participants seraient effectués par des transferts simultanés d'avoirs en or et/ou CRU, suivant la proportion globale de ces deux types d'avoirs dans les réserves au moment du règlement, du fait de la création cumulative des CRU dans le passé. Les avoirs en dollars, en sterling et en autres devises seraient exclues de ces règlements entre les pays participants, et les avoirs existants seraient remplacés aussi par des avoirs CRU. 1, record 3, French, - CRU
