    Tips for getting into Trades

    Even accounting for your point making exaggeration this can be a huge plus depending on how much of a slave you want to be to the system we call society. Unionized tradesman can make 2000hrs. pay in 1400ish hours? Take spa for 600hrs. if you know what I mean. Of an 8hr. shift you work 3ish hrs...

    Tips for getting into Trades

    What country I tell you a guy needs to beg into a trade and union. For shame.

    Chatty driver; weird experience

    Back in the day when I rode the fastest production motorcycle on the planet people would ask me to gun it off the lights. Anything for a cheap thrill I guess.

    Looks like a girl I know with a voice to match.

    Min wage increase

    Jay Leno reminds me of the holocaust, not that funny. Ironically trolling is the new hitler.

    Min wage increase

    I just needed to know if you're operating on a level playing field. All the small business owners I know and have worked for seem to have an impossible collateral workload keeping up with the "paperwork" end of the business. The hoops to jump thru seem maddening. But they're all doing it equally...

    Chatty driver; weird experience

    I had an enthusiastic gentleman pull in behind me at a gas station near Mosport on a race weekend. He was clearly a fan(not of me). He insisted my bike wobbled a bit here and there and as such was concerned about my safety. I knew what he was talking about because I had raised the rear about an...

    Min wage increase

    Are you competing in foreign markets and/or with foreign companies? I get everything that you're saying and am grudgingly forced to agree with you yet it always baffles me how these restrictive societies tend to have the best standard if living for the majority of people overall. The tug of war...

    Min wage increase

    I need something explained. I know you used "increased costs associated with" and not min. wage hike to make your point about difficult economic climate. That part I get. But can you use the proposed increase in minimum wage as a reason to hold off on new hires? The increase might affect your...

    This is why grungy rock stars commit suicide.

    Min wage increase

    People working for low wages need to be vilified and shamed to stay home. They're very existence threatens our way of life. We certainly wouldn't want to reduce minimum wage as that would exacerbate the problem. Maybe a $20 minimum wage would raise all ships? I don't think we can have it both ways.

    News: G&M | 2017 Kawasaki Versys-X 300 ABS

    If they doubled the engine size and added another half we'd be getting into 3/4 litre territory. At that you could adventure yourself right to the provincial border except in a great lake. "Potential" has become a cliche but I wouldn't be afraid to use it here. Let the good times roll.

    RIP Chis Cornell

    It's a little bit bad, maybe. If you felt no sympathy for any random person committing suicide that's one thing but feeling no sympathy for a celebrity might be suggestive of a feeling of self loathing.

    I agree with this.

    RIP Chis Cornell

    +1 Fat Elvis died of natural causes at home on or beside the toilet. This is why I don't get the popularity of ponsie schemes, lottery tickets and good hair. Cash, real estate holdings and investiture will not carry the day if suffering with addiction, depression or something else. Get help or gtfo.

    I don't think the rider, any rider, should be allowed cart blanche because the car driver(evil doofuss) made a miscue. In other words if the rider was driving Johnny Cash's '68 Fleetwood could he just ram the CRV? After all, the CRV was where it shouldn't be. I don't think so. Signing on the...

    The bolded part made me relook the video. With such a great distance between the car and bike why didn't the rider just stop?

    No. Rider shares blame if substantially above speed limit. I have no prejudice on the rider, could be skate boarder. No matter for me. If it was you riding the bike you'd blame yourself wouldn't you?(how could I have been so stupid?)
