Well, they could put stickers on every bible in the county stating that "the bible is full of metaphors and is not actually the word of g!d". I'm sure that would go over well.
Bottom line is that if they screw up, it is YOUR ass, not theirs. If you use a CPA, then you still have to pay the tax on any mistakes, but penalties, criminal charges, etc. are on the CPA, not you.
What you are describing sounds like the tort of negligent misrepresentation, though not being a lawyer, you would be crazy to follow my advice and not being a psychiatrist, you would be foolish to trust my diagnosis. From what I understand, if the advice of an individual or organisation as can be reasonably trusted ie through someone's title, certification or position within an organisation, then you can seek redress for what happens to you based on their advice or instruction.
[I] almost wet myself in line once waiting for an old lady to buy her coffee with a check. why do people still use checks?
I am guessing that you are in the US because of the spelling of cheque. Anyhow, I cannot figure out the excessive use of checks/cheques in the US. Considering that there are so many small banks there and the fact that they are incredibly inefficent methods of transferring money, I am surprised that the US wasn't the first developed country to do away with them for most personal transactions. Apart from payment for rent, utilities, charge & credit cards and for large purchases like a car, it seems that no-one up here is even willing to accept a cheque, even utilities are encouraging the use of credit cards and pre-authorised debits for bills. We end up using our ATM card for anything that used to be purchased by cheque. It's so much simpler.
Hmm, well, the French gave up without much fight in Canada, well, the French Canadians fought hard but there weren't enough of them. Regardless, Canadians have a good relationship with the UK, but we don't sing 'God Save the Queen/King' any more. In fact, the Queen doesn't even have a crown on our new money. Go figure!
I do not live in the US, but I assume that the situation is similar there as it is here. I am considering moving to the suburbs so I can own my own home. I am sick of giving 1/3 of my income to a parasite who is waiting for the building to collapse so they can re-develop. I earn C$50K/a and probably can afford no more than a $150K house, which will be a condo/townhouse. In the city centre where I currently live in slumlord-victim luxury, houses worth living in are in the $300K-$400K range. If I could afford a $400K house, I certainly wouldn't live in Ottawa.
So, suburban sprawl in some cases has less to do with taxes (though they do increase with property values), but also affordability of the property itself.
...which would run parallell to I-35. Why the hell would anyone pay a toll when 35 is free
Hmm the 407 in Toronto runs parallel to the 401. I have never been on the new road mostly because when I go to Toronto, I go to the city, not outer suburbia, but someone must use it. Anyhow, if I had the choice of paying two workers to sit in gridlock on a free road or a toll on a quickly moving one, I would pick the toll. Time is money, money is money, wait, what was time again?
He could have flown fron Sydney NS (YQY) to Sydney Kingsford (SYD). To get there he would have to fly from Sydney NS to Halifac NS (YHZ), then take another flight to Vancouver BC (YVR) and then from there, it would be a flight with a stopopver somewhere, although it would take two days due to distance and crossing the date line, you could be in Sydney NSW Australia at a cost of $CDN 2946.38 or $AUS 3262.52. I hope he enjoyed his trip.
The last six digits are actually the YYMMDD of your birthdate.
Mot quite. In Ontario, the last six digits of the licence number represent the date of birth for men. For women, the fourth to last is increased by 5. My last six digits are 696111. That being said, I am sure people would be able to figure out my date of birth.
I just want a phone that will stay intact. I had a Nokia 6185 that I had for 5 years. It worked as well the day I lost it at the Winnipeg airport as the day I got it and I was abusive with my electonics. I got a new LG phone (I don't even know the model) and cracked the screen within 6 months. I haven't figured out what I did to break it. It was in my coat pocket. I didn't touch anything. Go figger.
Good point. Shows produced in the U.S. are usually one season (at the very least) behind here in the EU, so downloading gives us the leverage of being able to watch the "new" shows - instead of the "old" ones - sooner
And vice-versa. I like getting my hit of Eastenders when it is new, unlike the other suckers who get it on an 18 month delay on BBC Canada. I have an S-Video cable going from my PC to the TV and can watch downloaded like anything else I watch on satellite. The only downside or the bars on the top & bottom, but that is the downside to having the crappier TV protocol.
As a CBC Radio listener for the better part of 40 years I can tell you this is just another innovative step in the history of a great public institution. CBC is also known for its great honest and open minded coverage of news.
Stop! Stop! You're bringing a tear to my eye. I think I hear O Canada playing softly in the background. I must turn on the CBC.
Unfortunately, those nerds in Information Management won't allow us to stream audio. I sneaked this little device into the office called a "radio". By using this "radio", "tuned" to a "frequency", 91.5MHz in my case, the stupid network people will not detect me listening to the CBC. Well, I guess if they read this post, they will be able to tell. d'oh
If I would change one thing on CBC would be to put better things on CBC Overnight. As much as the Netherlands & Sweden are cool places, the Radio Netherlands and Radio Sweden are really dorky, so is the Voice of Russia. It does help cure insomnia. Radio Prague , ABC and BBC are pretty decent.
Why wouldn't he use the heating unit. Isn't it just a mini-radiator. Since they are designed for the cab of the car, you would think they would be cleaner.
I shall correct you if you're wrong. The premier at the time (not premiere) was Rene Levesque.
Duplesis was a right-wing nutter who was the premier of Quebec in the 1950s trying to run the province like it was his little fiefdom as well as keeping the population under the thumb of the Catholic Church. The court case that stopped his abuse of executive power to harass citizens is still used in constitutional cases to this day.
Levesque was a chain-smoking left-wing nutter who was played for a fool by Trudeau during the repatriation process.
The Quebec Government was pretty miffed over the patriation deal, but I think those wounds are healed because the seperatist government of Quebec (PQ) has negotiated constitutional amendments in the 1990s to secularise schools in Montreal & Quebec City. I also think the rifts between the federal and provincial governments are healed more now that Quebec has a Liberal government.
Islamic extremists don't just hate Americans. They hate anything not ruled by Sharia.
Boy, I tell ya, I feel safe now, since Ontario considered allowing Sharia Law for settling some civil disputes between muslims. I have not followed the story closely, so I don't know if it turned out to be anything more than a proposal, but I am sure there will be a conflict between Sharia and the Charter of Rights & Freedoms
You know, there was this little thing called the revolutionary war, and if the French hadn't "rescued" us we'd all be eating fish & chips and biscuits.
What about Americans... Who are out of the country?
Well, then, treat it like a business transaction. Since his product is unavailable, try another like this one or this one. I'm sure Nader and Kerry would appreciate your business.
4. Say you're from Canada if you get into a sticky situation. Most anti-Americanism is directed at the government, but alot is not. It may sound funny, but seriously, and especially if you drink (alcohol+antiAmericanism=not good), you can diffuse a potentially explosive situation if you say you're from Canada. Eh?
If they ask you where you're from in Canada, say "Etobicoke". It exists, there are lots of people there, but no-one (outside of Toronto) really knows where it is.
Hey, I think I met that guy too when I was in London on holiday a few years ago. I was in London with my boyfriend at the time who was then living in England. So, we were on the London Eye and as you may well know, once you get in, you can't get out until it's made the loop around. Anyhow, This middle-aged American man with a Chicago Bears hat guy hears me speaking with ythe guy I was with and it's something like, "yer an American, Right, ah don't know what people see in this place. It's crowded and expensive and people are rude and there ain't much ta see." I politely replied that I wasn't American and maybe he wasn't giving the place a chance as you could spend years in London and not see or do all it's great things that it has to offer. His repsonse was, "Nahh, yer American" His wife finally shut him down, but he had already made a fool of himself.
Another experience that trip was in a cafe near the tube station at Green Park? I think. A woman was sitting at the table staring at a bunch of coins. She asked us what these were. I didn't have much patience for it. I figured that the coins had their denominations stamped on them and knowing simple math would be sufficient. The guy I was with figured that she just wanted rough equivalents, like the penny is the penny, there is no eqivalent to the 2p coin, the 5p coin is like the nickel, 10p dime, 20p quarter (though not as many p) 50p no common name for th equivalent. I guess that one was just funny because it was strange. It's easy to pick on US tourists, because there are so many of them.
I realise that when you travel, you go to relax, you also put yourself in a new place, but why do tourists also seem to turn their brains off when they leave their home city/country etc?
Hint for tourists to London, stay on the right side on the escalators in the Tube. I saw some old guy, well maybe middle aged, poke some tourist in the back with an umbrella, who then tripped. I laughed so hard, I almost fell over myself.
The only flaw I see in your reasoning is the fact that most credit cards that I have seen, have a 5% minimum payment. Your monthly payment initially would be $100. The smallest "minimum" payment would be $10. I tried out the calculator on http://www.webwinder.com/ww_display_calc.php3?old_ script_id=2 and got an estimate of seven years. Your point is valid that you are overspending by putting things on credit, however that point is exaggerated.

I know this is a me too comment, but reading the "review" made me think I was reading an advert. It just seemed too much like cloaked market speak.

Woohoo, none of the above. Who'd have thought Ottawa didn't suck. I guess we don't need to be jealous of Toronto and US cities afterall.

It would be more like a tax on TVs because people "steal" cable or satellite signals.

That seems fair enough, afterall California has one. I bought a .ca domain just in case I move there.
You say that like it's a bad thing.....
Well, then, treat it like a business transaction. Since his product is unavailable, try another like this one or this one. I'm sure Nader and Kerry would appreciate your business.
Yeah, and it's never had a girlfriend. he was just saying...

At my college, it was C++, but with no object-oriented elements until the third semester.
