By your logic you couldn't prosecute an employer for avoiding taking on young women for risk of them getting pregnant and claiming 1 year's paid maternity leave. The bloke who also applied is never going to show up to work pregnant. Fortunately that's not the case

Back in the UK I had just learned to drive. Didn't own my own but took my Mum's Ka out a few times:


Even my wife, who's never owned a car either thinks that machine is a joke, and would be unsafe on Canadian roads (though it climbed ice covered inclines better than BMWs in 2007s winter). We're thinking about a Toyota Yaris for use here in Toronto this year as our first purchase, though I'd rather something else... Here's why.

Not my logic. Just how the insurance industry works. It's all about pools of risk, and unfortunately young men are at higher risk of accidents than any other group, and get penalised as such. It may not stay that way, or not , depending on when, whether and how services are brought into the discrimination acts under EU regulations.

Not quite. I'm taking a poke at the reverse idea. The GTA and surrounding area is as congested as the south-east of England so, if you hate the M25, moving here is out-of-the-frying-pan.

Again. It doesnt work like that in ON/NB/AB/NL where discrimination on the basis of sex is not allowed.

My idea of hell - Drive from Windsor to Toronto in Winter on a Friday or Monday. If you like Semis (big artics) inches from your rear bumper at 20km over the limit you are in for a treat

Indeed. On Friday afternoon it took me three hours from Guelph to Toronto along the 401. Most of the time I was boxed in by huge trucks and could see nothing but their wheels.

Nope, very rarely hit the M25, wouldn't dream of moving towards it, same goes for the GTA.

You should move to the counrty dbd

To anyone who wants to experience the 400 series highways as God intended, I suggest a Family Day drive. You will likely have 6 lanes to yourself from what I saw on traffic cams this morning.

How about the new car from IKEA
