No MM thats West Virginia your thinkin of...Your going to have to do whole lot worst than that to offend us my friend.

You seem to have it all figure out. The whole picture however, I think not!

 

You buy foreign just about every time you walk in a store on Canadian soil.

You can continue to shop at big box stores in Canada and buy all those overseas products and ship the sales profits down to $20 billion man Sam Walton as he refuses to pay the Canada store workers more than min wage. Or buy a car from a North American auto company (US owned and operated) that outsources the majority of the content overseas to increase the profit line and puts the Canadian and US workers out of good paying jobs and they hopefully end up at a min wage job. Or get gouged at the pump by gas companies that are mainly controlled by out of country interests and is taxed through the roof. Or pay twice as much for milk products because the milk board dictates it. This goes on and on.

 

How many products do you buy that are made in Canada?

 

This is large economic engine and retail is only a very small part of it. Remove the good paying jobs by outsourcing, remove the customers, close the business, both retail and service alike.

 

We are in a world economy, why should a retail or manufacturing business be allowed to shop out of the country and we can not? A major US owned Canadian retailer is about to move the textile business to another third world country to increase profits. And you can bet those extra profits will stay in the US and they will escape with paying the minimal tax possible here in Canada.

 

Think about what this country would be without our largest trade partner and neighbor and perhaps you will see that we are both in this together and that is the whole picture. If you think for one minute that if the US economy goes down we are not going follow, my friend you are sadly mistaken.

Well said my friend with both countries working together it is possible we all might get out of this with a buck or two in our pockets.

I have been wrapping tinfoil around my head for years to keep aliens from reading my thoughts I guess it's time to do the wallet too.

This one is going to win the I am SOOOOOOOO Politically Correct award of 2010. It's a good idea if the sinker is a detraction to the fishing method. I do remember as a kid pond fishin and needing more weight and tying a loop on to hold a rock in place.

I would invite you down to get warm and enjoy the shopping but it seems we are a little short of heat right now.

If you haven't already turned off and drained your outside hosebibs, its a good time to do so. This is the kind of weather that'll pop your pipes in no time! Happy holidays!

O great thanks for taking away all of my easy money...Actually good advise and don't just turn off the water drain the valve and pipes and make sure the hose is not left connected.

If I am not mistaken they have the ability to gulp air to breathe, that's why they can be found in some pretty low oxygen level areas, maybe they are just getting a gulp of air.

DING DING DING we have a winner!!! They indeed have a primitive lung.

IF the rules are the same up North as they are down here the home inspector is not liable for his omissions/oversights in a report. He can be held accountable for incorrect statements though but it takes a trip thru the court system to get justice. Most are not pursued unless it is a structural issue that will make the house unlivable or other big ticket items. You should take Roy up on his generous offer and send the report to him for review by a professional.I am sorry to hear that this has happened. I have always wondered how Home Inspectors can obtain more knowledge in the fields of building than the people who work it every day.

Might I tempt you with the thought to see how much you can save between now and the spring before deciding to take out a loan? You might find that the amount you save can put you into a second hand boat with out payments. Boat loans are usually one of the highest loan rates because they are considered a luxury item. Good luck and good thoughts with your decision.

Just a little tip from your Uncle Arttie

Mornin T.J. at least you all have had more practice on the white stuff. Down here if we see white stuff we hop into our Soccer Mom SUV's and must run to the stores before we get snowed in for a day. While I don't mind the white stuff short term... we get snow then we warm up enough for it to melt off then repeat as it happens. I remember living in Michigan and it was around for months at a time but it changes into this hard substance that you cant make snowmen out of and to ski was just horrible. If we could get the media to put a positive spin on the whole snow thing the winters would be less of an issue and more of a pleasure for all.

Umm Art... dickie die and f u fo is just weird.

Yes who knew in the 60's that such a simple song had future offensive language in it.

The next song I don't expect you to like much. The history of the group is really fascinating because a group that was started for a talent contest went on to be big and then they faded away into corporate jobs. Reappearing as often as society wanted to hear from them.
