    Friend's kid needs good lawyer in Ottawa area (impaired driving) - recommendations?

    Delete A friend of mine's kid was charged with impaired in Ottawa. Don't know any details, but I told him I'd see if I could find any good recommendations on this site. :rolleyes: I suggested he call Forch at Redline Legal Services - that's the best I could do. Update: Reconsidered - don't...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I believe the magic number is 26" overall length for pump action shotguns. Barrels can't be cut/adapted to less than 18", but they can be manufactured to less than 18". I have an 870 with an 8" barrel that's non-restricted. TFB is correct - the 26" OA length is subject to interpretation.

    Cam I claim bike gear on my company taxes

    Because the other methods involve excessive tax risk and involve actual costs. The mileage method gives you more than on a cost recovery basis, on average, for a new vehicle under $30,000. CRA only cares about the mileage log book and legitimate business related miles - they don't care what...

    Cam I claim bike gear on my company taxes

    If you bought a POS bike for $2,000, spent $1,500 on insurance, $1,000 on gear and another $1,500 on maintenance & repairs, you'd be out-of-pocket $6,000. If business related travel amounted to 10,000km, you could recover $5,050 (5,000x.54+5,000x.47) pretax from the company. At the end of the...

    Cam I claim bike gear on my company taxes

    Rough & dirty, a $30,000 automobile & related fuel, maintenance, insurance & amortization is fairly represented by an operating cost of $0.47/km traveling at least 20,000km or more per year. If you charge your company $0.47/km for mileage on a $15,000 bike & gear, you're going to end up further...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    If you are unfamiliar with firearms, ask the instructor to allow you to familiarize yourself with the firearms before the test ie where releases and safeties are located. Some examiners will show you where these things are and how it works during the exam. Better to know first. Also, keeping...

    Cam I claim bike gear on my company taxes

    That's an interesting question. To what extent is your bike gear required to earn business income? Do you consider your bike personal or business property? Could your business be considered a personal services business? If you are an independent contractor and not a personal services...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I paid around $800 for my SGC share back in 2006. IIRC, there was a share for sale on the CGN EE for $3,000 - don't know if anyone would buy at that price, but at 1,800, it's been a decent ROI.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    It is only bullpup stocks that are illegal in Canada ie remove original stock and add an after-market bullpup stock - that type is prohibited. Rifles that have a bullpup design like the FN FS2000, FN PS90, Tavor, Type 88 Sniper, Keltec RFB, etc are all legal in Canada and available in...

    some really scary **** happened yesterday (non motorcycle related)!

    Social engineering to create a culture that fears guns and gun owners. Didn't you know that pellet guns are a gateway weapon to the notorious & evil baby-killing Ruger Mini-14 and other "bad scary guns"? You sir, have been corrected - LOL!

    you CHEATING son-of-a-*****!!!!

    That's a pretty piss-poor situation. You should break it off with the GF of 3 years. God only knows what sort of expectations she's had out of the relationship. 3 years is a lot of wasted time and a lot of missed opportunity while you're out skulking around sowing your wild oats. Very...

    Who cares about the long gun registry?

    I care about the gun registry. It is a wasteful and useless tool that gives officers and others a false sense of security putting them in great danger. It is also facilitates the harassment and abuse of decent gun owners and confiscation of their lawful property. I'm very pleased to see that...

    Young women looking to marry rich - the exponential depreciation

    LOL - If it drives, flies, floats or f**ks, it's cheaper to rent.

    Condo giving my bike the boot

    Look around for another place in your garage that is too small for a car, but big enough for your bike and negotiate a reasonable rent for the space. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    ramifications of being drugged

    If a person shows signs of impairment such as staggering or slurred speech they can still be charged with impaired driving even though they may be under the legal limit. Running into the back of a truck & poor recollection of events is also pretty damning evidence. It might be a good idea to...

    Herniated discs and motorcycle riding

    Before you consider surgery, get a referral to the Canadian Back Institute. The surgeon I spoke to advised it & told me he wouldn't operate unless I came crawling & begging to him in pain. I took his advice and went from walking hunched over like an old man & bad sciatica down to my calves to...

    People are awesome!

    Running on ice covered by water in the spring (notice the wetsuit) is pretty unremarkable.

    Looking for the best representation for father

    Thanks FireStart. I spoke to a guy at Redline this afternoon - although he doesn't normally service that area, he gave me some great advice and offered to followup on the ticket for me. Anyway, because the month on the ticket was 10 and not 11 as it should have been, and the ticket wasn't filed...

    Looking for the best representation for father

    Father got a speeding ticket in Kingston, paced, reduced to 3pts. Swears up and down he wasn't doing even 20 over and wants to fight it. Ticket has wrong date as well - month 10th instead of 11th. He'd prefer a lawyer to fight this.
