I had a 2000 Ford Focus that had problems and then I was the problem owner with no money. As the years stretched on that vehicle wouldn't die. I eventually gave up this past winter after 14 years. Didn't want to spend the money. Was still repairable and didn't demand mineral water to run on...

Pierre Trudeau said the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation. MacKay said that they would study the "Nordic model". From which century?? Will probably be a challenge over this and the Supreme Court won't be impressed. They didn't give a 1 year stay to give MacKay time to make it...

Don't ride near old people. That's dangerous.

Meet the new law, worse than the old law! http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/06/04/ottawa_unveils_new_prostitution_law_targeting_those_who_buy_sex.html

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now Not specifically those, but they can qualify. I'm thinking of bank CEOs, big company CEOs, etc. to give you an idea my last job was at a bank. Started at level 2 for 28k a few years back. The poverty line in Canada is 23k at which point you are "abject...

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The thing with the CEO income started in the 1970s when CEO compensation changed from just compensation like normal people to compensation based on the stock price. Which in turn creates artificial pressures to do whatever it takes to increase the stock price...

Find out from someone with a CBR, maybe BrianP how/if there is a way to make it flash DTC (diagnostic trouble codes) on your instrument cluster by counting the flashes to give you an idea as to which module the bike thinks is acting up. Suzukis have this and I'm sure Hondas do too. I wonder if...

Hudak cannot create any jobs himself except via big depression-era public works projects or hiring of public sector workers. Neither of which he will do. Everyone is focused on proving his plan right or wrong. It's a great foil to distract from the fact that he is a crap boss (he is not a...

When I was young, Al Bundy was an amusing fellow but now that I am older, I completely understand where Al Bundy is coming from. No Ma'am.

Yes you can. Tap on your post, select more, select modify, select edit. Have at it.

Out of laziness I've just been using dropbox. You replace the www portion of the generated link with dl and it works for URL and image tags. Have you tried Flickr?

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now I knew a good RCMP cop once from the time he was a teenager. He killed himself. I wasn't close enough to know the details of why but I think physical pain may have played a role. It was a bummer because I liked him and he was one of those idealistic ones who...

Remember, Hudak doesn't have the power to force the private sector to hire anyone. He might try to coerce them by giving them more corporate welfare by lowering taxes but it has been shown that lowering taxes doesn't create jobs. The companies just pocket the money. His plan doesn't contain...

No, he was telling the truth about the resignation. He has been in office since the Harris administration. 8 more years and he will have a really fat pension. He'll resign and go enjoy it. The jobs plan is a fanciful plan with no grounding in reality. He is counting each year that someone is...

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The reason people are interested in public sector is because they can't make a living in the private sector very easily. Most places like banks will pay you very little and well, you know what Toronto's real estate market is like. As for screening, pfft...

No idea about racism, the labourers were all white anyway afaik. Classism perhaps. The book caught my interest because I agree with you that there was a time when Toronto did all the big things and then stopped. And stayed stopped for a very long time. When it hesitantly started up again, low...

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The ads aren't so bad when watched in silence. But the production is amateurish and would have been best served by emailing their members with a link internally rather than as a public broadcast. Ad 2 is entertaining. Melanistic guy getting arrested by...

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The OPPA represents the selfless heroes that committed the largest civil rights violation in Canadian history during the Toronto G20. Arresting and holding people without charge, detaining people walking outside of the "zone" and searching their bags...

Note to self: Remember to check out the book "In The Skin of a Lion". http://www.randomhouse.ca/books/124591/in-the-skin-of-a-lion-by-michael-ondaatje

Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The hold a thief law was changed because it was pleasing to the Harper government. Now you can apprehend a thief after the fact. Legally. But you're still not allowed to get away with smashing their head off the car doorframe, need a uniform for that.
