    Veterans Emergency Transitions Services

    ^^^ +1 My Brother in Law was a medic and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He was injured by an roadside IED and is living with chronic pain in his right leg. He was prescribed Ketamine by his doctors and the prescriptions were being filled by Veterans Affairs but with cutbacks...

    French Drains

    +1 This worked for me. Had it dug on the outside 3 times and it still leaked. Had a contractor do the inside 5 years ago and it was perfect. The drainage membrane was covered with a thick latex type substance and it drains into the drainage under the house. I wanted to make sure it was fixed so...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    I always thought all this **** was caused by Sir John A. McDonald. What a twat he was :) Seriously though. I was having a chat with my inlaws and their take on the mess in Ontario is that Wynne is only trying to fix the problems left behind by Bob Rae and Mike Harris. WTF!!! Talk about being...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    Its the manufacturing part that is moving. I think we are probably one of the few companies that still manufacture stuff without off-shoring to China - at least for this product I guess when you look at Hydro, Gas, Rent, Employee Taxes (OHIP, Ontario Pension and what not), Hazmat processing...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    I would like to believe that but my cynical outlook is that it will just be ****** away with everything else.

    Top Gear UK season 22 cancelled

    I find it amusing. They are filming the last show of the season. He hits the guy. The guy doesn't report him. Clarkson reports himself. Gets fired but works in a clause that renders his non-compete null and void. Ends up with a new show on Amazon Prime that his production company owns and where...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    Cha-Ching!!!! And this reduces pollution how? I still need to drive the same distance to work. I still need to heat my house to 20C. My consumption will remain exactly the same, Wynne will just grab a bigger chunk of change. I wonder where that money goes? As a reporter that would be my first...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    I think the definition of prosper today is to have a job and not be getting kicked out onto the street. Its definitely different than what my parents definition of prosper was. That's a good question. - The workforce were educated and highly skilled. I doubt there were more skilled people...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    Just getting back to Ontario. The company I work for just announced yesterday that it is laying off 70 people - 45% of the workforce. The jobs will be moving to Vancouver and Portland and will be local hires. I'm OK at the moment, but I feel that it won't be long before all the other jobs go...

    Rear Shock Rebuild

    FYI. If you are looking for a bit of an upgrade Racetech do a 19mm replacement shaft. No idea how much it costs though.

    Rear Shock Rebuild

    you dont wanna mess with this guy!

    ^+1 There was an interesting program on the history channel that said he was much taller than the average French man at the time who was around 5'4". The reason he looked small is that he was always surrounded by the Imperial Guard. One of the requirements to be selected for the guard was...

    Any uber driver around?

    As soon as they mandate insurance in Ontario that will be the kiss of death :) Anybody care to speculate? I would bet it will at least double your insurance premiums

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    Not a fan of of that particular group but it does seem that other provinces are leaving us behind. BC is doing well. There is significant investment in NB and Nova Soctia. Even the city of Winterpeg has managed to pull in 2 billion in new external investment over the past few years. Alberta...

    In Toronto? Really?!!

    Sorry. Maybe my point was not clear. The point I was trying to make is that in society today, there is no excuse for child sexual abuse, regardless or religious or ethnic background. I assume you are islamic and no offence to you or your god, however there and many cults and cultures where this...

    United Taxi Workers Association

    Yes. She had car insurance. I would imagine if you had no insurance you would have to try and claim through the taxi company and/or Uber driver. Point 2 is insane but it has also happened to me in the past. I broke and arm and a leg in an auto accident and TD wouldn't pay for any physio until I...

    In Toronto? Really?!!

    No different than any other cult where people are programmed to believe non-sensical dogma. 2000 years ago people were ignorant and didn't know better. Today there is no excuse for child sex abuse regardless of who you are or what you believe and this applies to many cults and religions, not...
