    Unifor vote for Toyota

    i agree unions have become their own bureaucracy and are far from perfect but they still have a place. if companies and government had their way a lot of people would be working for very low wages, and no pensions. it's not reasonable to expect everyone to be a business owner either. you have to...

    Texas Man Suspect in Navy Yard Shootings Leaving 13 Dead

    This statement is false. Have a look at Section 5 of the Firearms Act. A criminal record can prevent getting a firearms licence depending on the details, but there are qualifiers. There's also a discretionary component which again is specific on the details of the individual, but a criminal...

    New truck?

    a buddy bought a 2.7L 4 cylinder tacoma and wishes he would have bought the 4.0L 6 cylinder. some of it's personal preference, but if your logic takes you to the V6, why not consider a V8 tundra as the fuel mileage is essentially the same with the added advantage of more space, power, towing...

    What rifle should I buy?

    not saying i agree/disagree with you anymore than anyone else, but it seems you are taking a more generalized approach to defining an assault rifle compared to others who are being more specific. we're dealing in the grey area as opposed to black and white here so it's easy to argue one way or...

    Helmet advice!

    my last 5 helmets have been arai's (2 Corsair V, 2 RX7 rr4, 1 quantum/f). my current Corsair v cost me just under $800 all in. it's a lot of cake, but it fits my head great. my only complaint is R&R the visors..you get used to it..sort of..but you'd think they could design a better system. i've...

    Purchasing Helmet in the states

    i just received my arai corsair v fiction today from US. got it off ebay for 765USD with free shipping from powersportsxpres. they have a sale (7% off reg price of $822USD) every so often. i lucked out with duty and HST as i didn't get charged either. although gp bikes quoted me $799 which is a...

    Buying bike out of province - which tax do I pay?

    i bought a truck in PEI from a dealership while living in ontario, which is the same scenario as all 3 provinces have HST. if it's a private sale, you'll pay the taxes in ontario. If you're buying from a dealership you pay the taxes in the province of purchase. the important thing is to make...

    Canadian Tire Tools on sale

    i bought the same set and although it is a good price, the down-side is the sockets are 12-point which can make it easier to strip the head of a bolt.

    Arai vs Shoei

    I've had 4 arai helmets and although i agree the shield system isn't the best by a long shot, i did get used to it and rarely had to remove/change the visors so it wasn't a big deal to me. luckily i never had any side pieces come off either. i'll continue to support arai, because they fit my...

    Used bike: dealer or private seller?

    all things equal, go with the best deal. you'd think the dealer is going to have a margin of a couple grand on a used bike. although they need to make their money, you may be able to do better than only $500 off. it's whatever you feel most comfortable with..no right or wrong way of buying so...
