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...

In the British system an up and comer is expected to make ALL of their mistakes on the way up. Once in a responsible position mistakes are deadly sins. Therefore mistakes are redirected, flushed or buried by management. 1) Who hired Chris Prout? Someone in HR 2) Who hired the person in HR...

We grew up tight on cash so if the sofa needed replacing it was replaced with one that matched the still usable carpet. A few years later the drapes were replaced to match the recently replaced sofa. A few years later the carpet was replaced with the same colour because it matched the sofa and...

LSVs appeal to the illiterate. Approved in Ontario but they don't read "Must also be approved by municipalities." I've seen a couple in Mississauga where they are not approved.

If it's oil paint you can put the brushes in a plastic bag along with a damp rag and the brush will be fine the next day. The high humidity keeps the paint from drying. You can also put paint gear in the freezer if you don't mind a bit of Varsol odour in your food.

A friend with a shop in Brampton had a guy come in asking him if he wanted to buy counterfeit bills. He looked at them and said they looked good but passed on principle. Someone else in the mall bought some. Counterfeit money is as indiscriminate as a land mine. The person getting cheated...

Can they move the pods when they are full? Make it part of the move.

How much is insurance, parking, financing etc? If the fixed costs are too high and the mileage driven too low an EV doesn't offset ICE fuel ups. I could be tempted by an EV as a second vehicle but if it had a sub 100 km range it wouldn't get used enough to justify the thousands per year in...
