Re: Class 2 NI abolished. What about us poor expats paying voluntary contributio

An update on my call today. The lady said as long as the form was in before the deadline, then that's ok. It's currently taking 31 weeks to look at the form.

Re: Van hire - Toronto to Halifax (or Sydney) with dogs

you want something like a minivan (dodge caravan) or a full sized SUV. Most of the budget motels have pet rooms. Super 8 and the like. Steer clear of Travelodge though.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I have already started a letter to my MP. Red Deer hospital is a shambles. Central Alberta has had a lack of funding for far too long.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I think it's more 'no one wants to move to the mess that is Central Alberta'. There are plenty of Dr's in Calgary taking patients.

From what I remember you get your trades certified at tradesecrets.alberta.ca I do think you still need to 'challenge' the exam to be able to have journeyman status.

I'm not allowed to feed the birds anymore. It was attracting the animal. It's a bummer because I was getting some lovely birds. Now I have a massive bag of seed to give away. Lol.
