Re: Car insurance, oh no!

There's sales tax on used cars and there's duty on imported used cars. There's a plate sticker, like road tax, in Ontario. It's $0 at the moment but that could change at any moment. There are toll...

Re: Car insurance, oh no!

You need a letter from each of your insurers in the UK stating that you had a policy for a specific period and were not involved in any accidents. The nuance is that "no claims" just means that you...

Re: Car insurance, oh no!

The first thing to grasp is that, unlike the UK, in Canada, the vehicle driven is not a significant factor in the premium (excepting exotics). If you want the V8 version, instead of the 6, you may as...

Re: Implications of Moving to Alberta with divorced spouse

I think you will want to consider the tax implications. I'm divorced from someone who moved to Europe after the divorce. I pay support and claim the tax break in Canada. She reports the income in...

Re: The next election

Do you have specific examples of Trudeau's corruption, something like Mulrooney and Airbus or Chretien and his golf courses?

I see no point of contact between Poilievre and reality.. He's had a...

Re: FREE WILLS on offer - Is there a catch?

Isn't all lawyering done by Zoom? Apart from a few emails, I don't think I've communicated with my various lawyers any other way. Same with therapists, there's no need for them to be in the country...

Re: Move to Canada with child with disabilities? Police transfer from UK?

I expect a search for "autism" will turn up my prior responses to the core question. The short story is that I have an autistic daughter, an adult now, who was born in Canada. She lives in Europe.

Re: Should I move to Canada or Not?

Toronto apartments go for $1000/sq. ft. I'd expect Vancouver to be a bit more expensive but nowhere near as costly as London. When my daughter bought in Vancouver 2022 I teased her that for that...

Re: Should I move to Canada or Not?

And yet, my daughter was a trauma nurse in Toronto. She emigrated to London with the surgeon who was working across the operating table. "Where's better to get stabbed?" "If you're going to be run...

Re: Should I move to Canada or Not?

Last weekend I drove four hours, each way, to buy beer. "popping over" is not as convenient as the prior posts suggest.

Re: Toronto's beer halls

Re: Canada's Mennonites

I think "closed commuties" is too strong for Old Order and Conservative Mennonites. They don't live in colonies inaccesible to strangers but trade with local people of any stripe. The guy who...

Re: Canada's Mennonites

That's not true of Mennonites, at least not the 70hp and more commited variations of the religion. There are a few who have become detached from their communities and have regular jobs buf the males...

Re: Life expectancy falls

Re: Brits may soon be able to give blood in Canada
