Somewhat like crankcall, I don't have the training, contacts, or intuition on picking stocks so let an investment company manage my financial future. The problem is that individual advisors can come and go with, IMO, banks being particularly bad. Is it possible they come out of their degree...

BS baffles brains.

One of our best investments was a 26 foot sailboat in the late 1970's. We loved the boat but the financing was a strain for us at the time but pay to play. A few years later circumstances changed and a new house loomed at what seemed a ridiculous mortgage situation. It was about the same as the...

I was briefly involved in the Ottawa fiasco last spring, coming away shaking my head. It's like ten carpenters showing up to build a house and someone asks: "Anyone got a tape measure?" The replies: "Nope, no, not me, Uh-uh, nada, forgot, lost mine, nah, sorry, nobody told me. Is it too late...

The cynics say every dollar we send in foreign aid to feed their poor is a dollar the governments of those countries can divert to the private wealth of their leaders or to the thug armies used for oppressing the enslaved. If any of those countries have resources, those are already sold to or...

When anyone, even a dog, yes a dog, can run, you end up with a splintered vote. 102 last time around. People don't have time to research that many candidates and all too often the incumbent wins because their name sounds familiar. How about upping the entry fee to $10,000. Right now it's a...

When my brother was a M/C cop for Toronto 50 years ago he said it cost more to put a Harley on the road than a squad car. The squad car ran 12 months a year. Imagine the cost if they wore ATGATT. Both OPP and Toronto M/C cops trained at Ashbridges Bay. OPP would show off that they could ride...

My concern is the card getting interest charged even though the payment was made before the due date

BMO to CIBC M/C

Imagine a two lane street where the west bound traffic had a 300 MPH limit but the east bound lane was limited to 1 MPH. You go to the beer store for a six-pack on your credit card and it's on your card account before you get a sip of the suds. You transfer the price of the suds from your...

In answer to the original post: Is counterfeit money ok to use now? Yes, the government started doing it ten years ago.

Just so you know, they do bike lanes before sidewalks. And in case drivers don't know, you're not supposed to park more than 12" from the curb. If there's a 3 foot snow bank and you leave two feet access for the passenger you're parked in the middle of the travel lane. And please don't park...

Whatever happened to Ridge Berry Farm? High tea and all that stuff.

It's like buying a car and you want one extra option but that means a model upgrade so you pay thousands to get the one $100 option you really want. I don't want a bigger house, just a bigger garage but that can only come with the bigger house.

I know someone who ordered a dining room table and it came in damaged. The deal is you buy another one and get credit for the first one upon return. Then they got the wrong colour then something else and wrong again etc. By the time she had the right thing (Five tries) and charges and credits...

The early 1990s train wreck was when I bought an industrial condo with a 12% mortgage. I paid about a third of what they were going for. Six months later the developer auctioned off a bunch with some going for $19 a square foot. Original prices were $110 to $120 / SF Industrial is different...

We could have moved up a couple of notches in the same area for a couple of hundred thousand. Financing would be OK but our place has years of insulation and hidden upgrades. At my age I couldn't see the new place a DIY project and it would need a $300K in upgrades to match the existing. Then...

Other than the bike shows, where is a good place to buy a fashion leather vest? I found that the light duty one I got from a show vendor was a good windbreaker but I never used it riding. Being bike show quality it's showing its age and I'd like to move up to executive quality but not at...

Can a lawyer refuse a case base on the disgusting nature of the crime, Paul Bernardo for example or in this case, Jermaine Neverson? Or do they just price themselves out of the mess? As difficult as it may appear even the most evil need a fair trial. It refines the system and hopefully closes...
