All good, in fact, excellent advice from different perspectives. Wow! So thanks to you: danmand TeasePlease Doobious Eldoguy IM469 and Hi Up in the Sky I'm much more confident--with eyes less closed--going into the dealership next week.

Would appreciate word on your experience / expertise on this matter. I plan to buy a new car. However, my good friend at a car dealership -- and my service advisor for my car at same dealership -- honestly believes that the financing is best done at a dealership. Pushing aside for a moment...

Just been speaking with my trusted service advisor at a Toyota dealership about buying a new car. He suggests using the dealership financing program and not the financial institution's. Pushing aside for a moment, the interest level for each option, what arguments could you come up with for...

Further to Gameboy's contribution, I'd add that the Transportation Safety Board, like everyone else, is puzzled about what happened. I think they should instal cameras to every railroad crossing. A small investment that can yield big dividends, for different purposes.

Thanks, Phil C. McNasty for the Emirates story which contained the judge's "rarest of rare category" of crime that warrants capital punishment. Indian men would now have something to think about before doing something that's so heinous.

Hate to say this but reading the sign that the employees put out, it seems to me that it's a case of workplace violence. In this case, the perpetrator of the violence is allegedly the owner. Workplace violence and harassment is outlawed in Ontario by the Occupational Health and Safety Act...

1/4 of Ontario's minimum wage, if that much A friend of mine once got hired doing this. As another esteemed respondent to your post says, you won't make much. The overheads are high: gas and your time travelling, and the churning detailed reports. All this work amounts to getting much less...

Correction to my previous post [The CBC broadcast was interesting in the sense that the two neighbours, one a man and the other a woman--the women's neighbours--were judgmental about the business the two deceased had. They were clearly in mental pain as two members of their housing community...

Rags' reminder to Toronto providers could be a good thing. Relevant? I'd think so. Because the BC case is another example of a "systemic" issue: the need for independents who operate alone to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety. I saw the CBC-TV clip on the story and heard...

Non-rechargebale battery good for short term I'm not sure how long a name brand battery lasts, but let's assume it's 2 years and more and the economy goes into a tailspin and into worse-than-1930s Depression conditions (hydro is down, martial law, etc), non-chargeable batteries will be a...

This newspaper will be a collectors' items in the year's ahead, if you manage to get a hold of a copy of this Australian student rag. http://www.ecanadanow.com/world/2013/08/24/university-of-sydney-newspaper-shows-vaginas-cover-pulled/

I have to side with GIPDEAL and others who believed that Mr Hussein did not do a smart thing by hitting the streets while visiting family in Egypt. I think he was both imprudent and naïve and he's paid a huge price by getting killed. Protesting in Toronto streets is a far cry from protesting...

Petzel: The good news is, despite the diagnosis, is you can commandeer the resources of naturopathic doctors who specialize in cancer. There is a phalanx of powerful natural fighters you can access to beat back the cancer. Contact the College of Naturopathic Medicine and they can refer you to...

This story reminds me very much of someone who does his or her tax return and forgets that there are hundreds of rules that are used by those Revenue Canada officers who check your return. It's either you're eligible or not for certain expenses claimed, etc. Deloitte here is like a surrogate...

Thanks, blackrock13. Vitamins are not manufactured equally. Some vitamin suppliers, esp. in the U.S. have comparison charts that show that Brand X will have this vitamin or mineral at a certain content level (let`s say 5 mg.) , while Brand X will have the same vitamin or mineral at 50 mg. In...

Just got a call from FedEx and the dialogue went something like this: FedEx: , "Hi, I'm calling from FedEx. You ordered some vitamins from the U.S. and want to get clearance from you." Me: "Well, yes, fine, Yes, I ordered vitamins". FedEx: "So you're OK with this, right?" Me: "You're...

Hey Destillat: Adding to Ceiling Cat's comments, the evidence you're seeking can be found in various "research" studies by consumer food groups across North America and elsewhere. Think about what goes into a hot dog, for example. In this case, dying or recently died lobsters being brought to...

The old horse in the stable still yearns to run. (an Asian saying.) This means people with much life and work experience, especially those who have retired, still have unfulfilled ambitions and accomplishments yet to be achieved.

The eyes have it. We're male and our primordial instincts can't, or shouldn't be, repressed. So Spanish soccer star Lionel Messi gave in to what Mother Nature had him to do with his eyes in a Las Vegas space. But the hands, especially if you're a celebrity, have to be carefully controlled with...

A few months ago, during a rainy day, the CEO had a town hall in a Mississauga banquet hall. The hall was a mile away from our offices. So everyone jumped into their car and went to the hall. When the event was over and I was leaving, I noticed quite a few women didn't have an umbrella like I...
