    Minimum wage spin offs

    In 1973, grade 10 education, I was working sales floor Scarborough Town Center for Simpson's. Remember them? Started as a family business. I was earning $110 @ 40 hour week, $5,720 @ year. We were also paid stock shares, full health care. Cost of a house back then about $40,605, so about 7...

    Nostalgia

    Nice find. Film from the 50's, but I still remember players in the late 60's working summer jobs. Some use to work as car salesmen, just to bring in customers. Most did not make enough with just their hockey wages. I remember one Leaf, can't remember his name, use to live down the road from my...

    Chainsaws?

    I have 3 STIHL chainsaws, from a 40 year old 010 with a 12" bar, to a 8 year old MS 271 with a 30" bar. Use to be an Arborist back in the 80's. Doesn't matter what saw you get, the key is to keep the chain sharp so it cuts through trees like butter. STIHL make a great file system that I use and...

    Thoughts about Yamaha TW200.

    I am thinking about buying one. I have 2 other bikes, but close to home is mostly gravel roads. I may want to explore some logging roads & unimproved road allowance in the area. Not wanting anything flashy, just basic A to B ride. Anyone have one? Thoughts, suggestions, would you buy another?

Allowed to drive any car, van or small truck or combination of vehicle and towed vehicle up to 11,000 kilograms, provided the towed vehicle is not over 4,600 kilograms. A Class D license lets you drive: a truck with a...

    Local Auto Thefts

    WHAT A LOAD OF BULL SQUIRT!!!!! It should be the car companies making the cars harder to steal, not the taxpayer. I'm sure the insurance companies don't care. Car stolen in your hood, everyone in the hood premiums go up $xxx to cover the theft. More profit for insurance. Wasting taxpayers...
