    Redneck Road Rage / Instant Karma

    If you look even closer wait for it, she should have moved over after passing the second vehicle as there was plenty of time for the truck to pass her before she would have caught up to the next vehicle. So she's not totally blameless here. Plus if she was that concerned about the driving...

    So I got run off the road tonight....

    I believe they would checks. Coming home one evening we were behind a car that was exhibiting very unsafe driving so we called 911 and told them what we were watching, gave them license # and let them know we had dash cam footage if needed. They never asked for the clips but did call back to say...

    Woman fired over Halloween costume

    In the original post the pic looks like she's in an office? And you still have a responsiblity not to defame your company even on your time.

    Mortgage Paydown Question->TFSA

    Yup, perhaps what the OP may have been thinking may be the filing of tax returns under 19 if you have taxable income, but not enough to actually owe tax on (so no requirement to file) in order to get the RRSP contribution room for that income. It won't be much but every little bit helps. As a...

    Half a million evacuated as Super Cyclone Phailin heads for India

    Except that there doesn't appear to be a trend of increasingly severe cyclonic activity. Just a trend of more mainstream reporting and more rabid fear-mongering among weatherpeople. In fact there's some indication of a 40-year cyclic pattern. The number of severe cyclones in the Bangladesh are...

    Not if you are one of the people with a severe sensitivity to perfume/cologne. B.O. may be stomach turning, but rarely induces flash migraines.

    Inheritance/Will question

    Only thing I'd add would be that if the home took awhile to sell and gained in value from the value at death then the estate could be on the hook for capital gains on the difference.

    Inheritance/Will question

    Well if CRA were to discover some unpaid taxes owed by the estate then the Executor(s) would be on the hook for them.

    How did the pioneers clear the land?

    Dead trees are more likely to shed branches while being chopped down with potentially lethal consequences.

    Service Trucks and Pylons?

    Safety I imagine. As they usually put them out a bit from the corners it helps by both making them more visible and encorages traffic to give them a wider clearance. I doubt it gives them any more immunity from parking tickets than putting your hazard lights on does.

    Hand held device ticket advice

    That's an inane statement. Ethics is defined as "the standard of which one hold themselves up against to determine what they feel is right or wrong to do." not as "this is what I'll do if someone's watching." The courts should be used when there is something wrong with the charges laid against...

    European Photo Radar Ticket Advice

    Odd, assuming their photo radar program is like ours, the ticket is registered against the plate so if you walk away they'd have to pay. Perhaps it's different there? I know the last time I rented a car in Canada the contract said that any tickets against the car would be charged to me.
