Well, here's the result of a Canadian experiment: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/okotoks-drake-landing-solar-energy-repairs-future-1.7148389

Surely, in the USA, as well as Canada, a cheque dated Dec. 2018 is 'stall dated' and non-negotiable.

Why? Well -40F is not unheard of here and -30F is common. Cars run better when warm. Pretty simple. The car must be in neutral and the parking brake must be set or RS no work. Which small mistake might be fatal?

Not true. Both of my kids have MT cars with RS. It requires the driver to do a few things to enable the RS, but it ain't rocket surgery. YMMV of course.

I was one of those. Less than 3/4 of the way now, but time will tell. Most of my money is in the Canadian TSX which has not lost what the S&P has.

Elmer Gantry was drunk.

And Tequila makes it even better.

I did at lot of things in my youth that I wouldn't want the world to know of. Without them, my story would be beyond boring.

I believe you and the OP are occupying the same boat. Therefore I think we are in agreement. Possibly my lack of the written "gift of gab" started a misunderstanding.

I think not. Canada, I believe, has now stopped the inheritance of citizenship from those citizens born outside the country and who have never lived here.

Dealers don't make their big dollars on new car sales. They make them on the service floor. Being Canadian (where dealers are prohibited by law from charging more than MSRP) I've noticed a few 'extra' charges but less than $1K. Still, I think, they are saving their new stock for old...

The 60's for me. I got to go to the U after the sexual revolution and b4 herpes.

Build an igloo so you have a new house every night. That's what we do, beats vacuuming. It is possible that our days are shorter and colder than yours.

I used to tell people I get my money by "Standing at Stud". While no one believed me they also got the MYOB inference.

My "hometown" is now a farmer's field. When I grew up (on a farm a couple of miles away) it wasn't a booming place. It has 2 grain elevators, a garage, maybe a dozen houses and a general store. 50 years ago the garage and store closed, 40 years ago the elevators closed (and were bought by...

I have a similar experience. One VP i reported to wanted "yes men", I didn't qualify. I remember one day getting supreme sh!t from my VP for saying something he didn't agree with to the CEO. Later, the CEO told everyone how nice it was to have honest peons. My career slowed a bit. A year or...

In post #94 you claimed a marginal tax rate of 65%. You may be surprised to find that the link quoted says the top marginal rate in 1980 was 60%. In post #102 you agreed that this was accurate. It showed a marginal tax rate of 35% on 4000 pounds for 1980. In post #98 you claimed a 1980...

I'd contest this one. I'm not sure about most individuals, but some will feel their privacy is their own problem and stick to local storage. Where the 'cloud' is will matter. Recent changes to US law (ie Patriot Act) will ensure that, for instance, Canadian financial corporations will neither...

Nor I, those ESO that increased almost 20 times put me over the "number". I drove the same old Ford Tempo for the first 15 years of my management status. We did, however, upgrade our house. Our old one was paid for. We bought the new one with cash. Then we sold the old one. Not too many...

The point was that you claimed to have paid 2200 pounds tax on a 4000 pound income while agreeing that the top marginal tax rate on 4000 pounds of income was 35%. While I will ignore the lower rates on the first 1000, 4000 X .35 = 1400, no? Yes there is. The marginal are always higher, at...

Do doctors have to learn basic arithmetic?

I doubt I have anything intelligent to add to this thread but IMHO, if you "lawyer up", (s)he will want about 1/3 of any settlement including one that might have been offered without counsel. Make sure you have some agreement that protects you from all sides.

Why not just save a couple of hundred bucks a hundred years before your birth. The math works.
