    Students owning bikes & Osap

    Actually I was commenting on the fact that there are cases for under 30 and over 30, but not for someone who is 30. To speak to your other point, I've been playing with tools since I was 6 years old, the problem was I was just not very good at it, and decided to make a career in an area I...

    I'm 30 years of age, so I guess your case doesn't apply to me =). I'm not a code monkey (and don't mean that in a derogatory sense) but I can read it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Those are some pretty big IFs. When I went to school, I did not qualify for the maximum amount of OSAP, and I had to pay back every penny I owed. I suspect more people are closer to my scenario than yours, although I freely admit I don't know for sure. I also said there was nothing illegal...

    That's pretty arrogant. Most students have few marketable skills straight out of highschool, may not have any job experience at all, and especially in this economy, jobs can be scarce. Also, not everyone lives in Toronto where they have a large job pool to take a crack at. There's not an...

    Yup, same here. Although I worked at Staples at the time and made a little better than minimum wage but didn't although didn't work anywhere near 37.5 hours.

    I don't know what fantasy world you live in, but if you're making minimum wage (which I suspect most students do, or close to it) it doesn't even come close. At $10.25/hour, 37.5 hours per week for 12 weeks, you'd make $4612.50 *gross* (doesn't include deductions for tax, CPP, EI, and any...

    While I applaud your friend for being enterprising, why should taxpayers pay the interest on his loan so that he can turn around and make money on it? (instead of using it for its intended purpose). I agree that should be able to be used for things like rent and food, but there has to be some...

    Who do you think pays the interest on $40k for 4 years? The taxpayer. Who do you think pays off the loan if he turns deadbeat? The taxpayer. Don't tell me it only concerns him.

    PRIDE Parade - Good or Bad?

    You could try to make the same argument for any number of festivals that go on in the city. The real question is, how much deeper in debt would the city be if they didn't have Pride? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The reason for the hate is a) who do you think pays the interest and guarantees the loans while they are on school (us), and b) because people who need OSAP can't get it but someone who clearly doesn't need it can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Amen to that. I remember one month I ate nothing but $.49 store-brand KD, 3 meals a day because that's all I had money for when I went to school. It's sickening that some people can buy a luxury such as a motorcycle with taxpayer money when others have such a hard time affording just to go to...

    PRIDE Parade - Good or Bad?

    I'm sure many would argue that being gay is not limited to who they share their bed with, the same as any other minority (ie Caribana, Woofstock, Etc) The point is every other day of the year is "straight day" so to give them a weekend to express themselves is not too much to ask. Besides, I...

    HELP: iPhone service providers and plans?

    I'm with Rogers on my iPhone for one reason: Caller ID Name. I'm not sure if Fido supports it as well (since it's the same network), but Bell and Telus definitely do not. On a cell phone it's invaluable as it allows me to screen my calls for numbers I don't recognize. Yes, I pay a littler more...

    Drivers Abstract only goes up to 3 years?

    Any cable internet users having major connection issues lately?

    If it's a DHCP issue, it's either a problem with Rogers' DHCP server (it doesn't matter if it's Acanac or Teksavvy, it's Rogers' DHCP servers that hand out the IPs) or your provider has run out of IPs on the CMTS you're on and Rogers takes insanely long to provision new IPs. If it's the latter...
