Re: How's Your Hydro?

Yes, I too saw a sudden massive leap in Oakville Hydro charges for my parents 1 bedroom apartment (built in 1989). Hydro said everything was correct and that maybe I should change the fridge and...

Re: Canadian Values

With the distinction of old stock and new stock, "Canadian" and Canadian, the illustrious economist Harper and Conservatives even today, could well have uncovered a terrible truth?. That in...

Re Brits being evacuated back to the UK. I believe there are many examples of the UK taking extraordinary measures to protect UK citizens. The Falklands, Uganda, and others. To my mind, the Uganda...
