Re: Buying used VW Tiguan/are these charges valid?

If he knows he has competition, he will be more likely to negotiate.

Re: Christmas Bonus.

Good on Ya. Who knows maybe I'll go over that way. Their nearest office is a little far for me is all that holds me back. I don't want an hour long commute again.

Re: Christmas Bonus.

The way it worked in the private corp was that the corp matched every share you bought with a freebie. Basically a 2-for-one deal, so you had to pony up $10,000 to buy a share, but you got $20,000...

Yes Arthur, I made the switch about 3 years ago. I am regretting it more and more all the time.

We have a small sailboat. At 25' it could fit into our driveway, but we choose not to as we are in a city-lot type neighbourhood. Since it sits up on its trailer at a height of about 14 ft, folks who...

Re: Flying from Buffalo, NY and VWP

We have found it is very much hit and miss depending on when and where you are flying. Sometimes Canadian destinations are cheaper from Buffalo. Figure that one out, I dare you!

Re: Am i needed??

We have trouble finding people with approopriate network communications/fibre technicians in my business. There is always room in IT as long as you are in a specialized field and carry credentials.

Re: Good show on Poverty in Canada
