    Provincial politics

    It's a new parliament. Ask and say that it's a form of double taxation to have both WSIB and private insurance but that if something was to happen you can't claim. That you should only have 1 or the other not both. Equate it to car insurance so they understand, being forced to pay for both...

    This seems to me something that needs provincial legislation to remedy. Maybe time to get to know your newly elected MP?

    Provincial politics

    You guys are right. I looked it up. Seems like the only exemption since 2013 is if you are doing home work and paid directly by the home owner or if you are a non-building partner/officer. This article discusses a possible loophole which passes the risk to the home owner...

    What about the possibility of forming a formal corporation? Then you could be an employee of your own corporation. Perhaps the rules and taxation of a corporation would be different then? Not talking a sole proprietorship but an actual inc. with separate assets and tax return.

    Provincial politics

    Actually your riding is still PC. They decided it was a data entry error so they gave the 85 votes to the PC candidate instead. No doubt there'll be a recount, but at this very moment the fine riding of Thornhill is PC.

    Lol Doug Ford: "Doug Ford on if he'd run for PCs: "I’d never rule it out. But I’ll tell you one thing, I’d give that PC party an enema from top to bottom.”"

    Provincial politics

    Something completely missing from the URL and which may have been a relevant factor is the fact that the guy who beat Cantor is the actor who played mechanic Cooter Davenport on the 70s tv show "The Dukes of Hazzard". (I loved that show as a kid.) Jesse Ventura the wrestler was Governor of...

    Hi Peterm15, if you haven't already done this I would like to ask you to please consider writing (or going to meet) your representative. Explain it exactly as you have to us, that you are compelled to pay money that you cannot ever be the recipient of and that it is damaging your business and...

    Hazel McCallion came out blasting against Hudak and the Tories. Some really harsh criticism here. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/06/10/hazel_mccallion_says_hudaks_tories_will_hurt_cities.html

    Provincial politics

    Fairy tales usually have a happy ending. Everyone likes happy endings. Voted NDP myself today but in this riding of Oshawa it was especially important due to projected job cuts here of 6000+ people/families. This riding is currently one of the too close to call ridings. Provincial incumbent...

    Cam Chain tensioner total cost

    Hi Brian, it is a 2012 Suzuki TU250X. I have a photo attached here and have as well the factory service manual. Stock tensioner. It is a slot. To lock it to release the tension you have to turn the slot clockwise.

    Cam Chain tensioner total cost

    Oh god. Brian P just spiked my anxiety. I will be writing later about what ended up happening but part of what was/is necessary was to lock the cam chain tensioner for my incomplete job. I didn't however count the turns. For some reason I was thinking it was an auto tensioning tensioner. Now I...

    Cam Chain tensioner total cost

    On my bike the TU250X, the cam chain tensioner is completely internal to the engine. It will never leak oil unless seals/gaskets in the casing fail. What kind of bike do you have that it is outside the engine?

    Washing helmet liner?

    My Bell 500 liner isn't removable. Will probably never buy a non-removable liner again. I wear a bandana with it every time to absorb oil and sweat. Wouldn't mind getting one pre-cut in a circle for helmets but I would like a decent quality fabric.

    Cam Chain tensioner total cost

    Herbxx: 10 minutes for someone experienced perhaps. We don't know his abilities, he may not know. On my bike to change the cam chain tensioner involves removing the cylinder cover and probably other bits and then there's the whole resealing cover etc. So really at an absolute minimum, 1 hour for...

    Provincial politics

    In the white region it says: NDP: 4 (minister, singer-songwriter, actor, truck driver) Green: 4 (electroplater, ad copywriter, graphic designer, RMT) Liberals: 2 (farmers) PC: 5 (3 journalists, 2 pharmacists) Those are outliers though. The ones I find fascinating is the fact that the lawyers...

    Stealth Bike Cops

    Remember when police cars in Toronto were bright canary yellow? I do. I loved those. They were awesome. Supposedly they stopped being yellow due to occupational health and safety issues with lead paint.

    That's counterbalanced by the corporate owned board of directors on 3 of the 4 big papers "endorsing" Hudak. I feel very comfortable voting for someone that is not endorsed by a millionaire in a top hat.
