    Gmc or ford new trucks

    I bought an 07 F350 last November. So far I'm happy. My other one is a 2000 F250 that's tough as nails (It's looking for a new home) I looked for a long time, read everything I could find and drove many of each of the big 3. There is good and bad to all of them. It depends on what you...

    employment

    I'd be happy if EI didn't exist. That's less $ off my cheque each month! And employers would have not have to pay their part either (and hopefully pay me more as a result:rolleyes:) But, seeing as it does exist, people who need it should be able to access it. After all, it is our own money...

    U.S. retailers boycott Canadian oil sands

    1. How can they tell where the fuel in their tanks comes from? Russia, Alberta, Kuwait, Saudi? 2. It's an advertising gimmick. The companies are trying to boost sales using this tactic. Having it in the news only adds to it by giving it attention. 3. Not that it'll happen, but turning...

    Tipping

    servers are required to declare a specific percentage of their wage to Revenue Canada, so it doesn't matter if it's cash or credit/debit. I'd rather see the good server get cash than chance them not getting it. IMHO: tips are a reward for someone going beyond to give you top notch service. Any...

    Tipping

    I've discovered that tipping on debit or credit card don't always make it to the servers. Some managers/owners "forget" to pass it on to their staff. I try to tip in cash now so the servers get what they've earned...

    Sun "letter to editor"

    Every single working person has donated to send aid to Haiti... it's called taxes and how else does the government pay for what they've sent and will send. Governments don't generate their own money... they use the money we give them!

    On the verge 1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton

    Here's my suggestion: Figure out your needs today and go a step up. If you buy a 1/2 ton for your needs today, you'll be shopping for a 3/4 ton in a year or two because you'll have more gear, bigger trailer etc. I once had a 1/2 ton...went to the 3/4 ton because I got more gear and needed the...

    What do Cops in cranbrook get paid for

    You're mad because you were involved in a non-injury MVA where your truck was undamaged and drivable and the coppers didn't drop everything including investigating crimes to come make sure you were ok and tell you the other guy bumped into you and it was his fault? If you needed someone to...

    Who's had back surgery?

    IMHA, explore all other treatment options first. Once all treatments have been tried, consider surgery as a last resort. Once they take out a part of you, it doesn't grow back the same and scar tissue can more trouble than what they were trying to fix.
