Re: Another US school shooting

I thought Piers Morgan handled the issue extremely well on CNN yesterday.
Less guns, not more guns, is the only way to stop something like this from happening again.

If you've ever tried to shoot a...

Re: Help......Looking for a Babysitter in Bedford NS

Have a look on kijiji, as there are usually ads on there.

Welcome to the area, and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. We have two girls (5 & 7) and live about 15 mins from you.

Re: Am i needed??

Re: Hiring a car in UK with a Canadian Licence of less than 1 year?

I've rented on a Cdn license before lots of times, and I suspect you're being given false information... I wouldn't even worry about it. If one asks too many questions, go to another company.

Re: French Immersion - comments please

All the classes are taught in French, but there's lots of repetition and sight words up on the board. Hardly any of the kids speak French as a their first language, and the teachers know this. Of...

Re: Moving to Nova Scotia

There's a large expat community in NS, and there's a few meet ups throughout the year (BBQ in the park, bonfire night, etc).

Unless you're looking for a LOT of land (eg/ over 10 acres), you can find...

Re: UK 6th Canada 10th Education

Re: Realtors ...

I'm still struggling here. It is perfectly possible to employ a lawyer to prepare the contract here in Canada, for much less than the cost of using a realtor (purchasing). It's not a service that...

And, it's hardly "arguable"...

Re: Realtors ...

You think your realtor deserved the $30k (or whatever it was)?
A half day of his time- lets be generous and say he charges $300 an hour. We're looking at $1000 max.

Re: Trying to get to Halifax for Christmas-which is easiest?

We flew via Philly to Manchester last year because it was the cheapest.
Otherwise, you're looking at Heathrow > Halifax, or Halifax > Toronto > UK
