Re: Manitoba Vs Ontario

Re: Remember the 'Joe Canada Commercial'...

I very much doubt I started that thread, "Famous Canadians" is a topic beaten to death in Canada, like "Famous Nebraskans" in Nebraska and "Famous People from Slough" in Slough. Has Peter North been...

Re: Dreaming of Trucks

For what it's worth, yesterday in the desert about twenty miles from the last habitation we came upon a Dodge Ram that had rolled several times and was laying on its side. There was debris all around...

Re: Great Canadian myths - discussion

Re: Dreaming of Trucks

Last night I drove a GMC 3500 Crew Cab with the monster diesel. We took it to the rodeo (admission $8 each or $20 for the truckload). We had trouble finding it in the parking lot afterward because...

Re: Temporary car imports

Assuming the OP doesn't care about minutae, that is what the customs people call a car driven into Canada, (imported/visiting/whatever), it seems to me that, so long as the driver (not the car)...

Re: Temporary car imports

After Ontario stopped requiring proof of insurance for the plate sticker I knowingly drove for seven years without insurance. That was not having coverage for accidents. Insuring with a foreign...

Re: Temporary car imports

Ha! Yes, the Element is the car on US plates. We have it here now, in the US, we'll bring it back in the middle of next week. I suppose technically we'll again be importing it for the personal use of...

Re: what age is the right age to move to Canada? or is there such a thing?

Older Canadians move away, to Florida, to Arizona, to anywhere warm so one would have to think it perverse to move Canada at a great age. Anyone over, say, thirty, might want to look at somewhere...

Re: Brampton Ontario

He's a big star in Canada, Mr. Shatner (any Canadian who's been on American TV is a big star) they play Common People and Lucy in the Sky constantly on the radio.

Re: Next to no funds but should have a well paid job

1 pair of skis, 1 snooker cue, the clothes in which we stood and 2,000 pounds of debt, was how we started. In retrospect it was silly to bring skis to Ontario.
