Bring back the two-dollar bill, and have the only coin be the quarter (and perhaps the loonie, being the symbol of our existence and such).
I've converted a lot of coins over to Canadian Tire money. :lol:
Yeah, but you forget about the taxation structure of our government. A $100 purchase ($99.99) costs $112.99 after tax. It works even worse for ...

Re: Site issues with Firefox
As a clarification, My netbook's F3.5.3 runs the site fine, with x386 linux. Same as 10.0 opera on the same platform.

Re: Site issues with Firefox
I honestly dunno. I switched to 32-bit distro since Jaunty, since, even though I have a 64-bit CPU, I only have 2 GB RAM, so there is no reason to run a 64-bit OS. Are you using the latest packages? Opera just went up to 10.0...

Re: Insurance coverage - Driving under Suspension
This is truly a tragic scenario.
I would first ask the family of the deceased if they have received any mail from the insurance company of the driver. They should. In any case, you will likely be filing against the insurance provider of the driver instead of the actual driver.

Re: Driving in Montana/Yellowstone
Sound like worse than Toronto. There at least you expect to be cut off when there is a space for a vehicle to squeeze through. In Yellowstone, it seems, anyone can perform any maneuver in a perfectly random fashion, which is actually harder to prepare for.
BTW, I have always wanted to visit Yellowstone. I think now I'll leave my vehicle on the ...

PS On my netbook I also run 32-bit Jaunty, and both FF and Opera work just fine.

Re: confused by charge and resulting action
Charging someone with an offense and taking away a vehicle like that can be construed as "theft". There are no legal grounds for the vehicle to be taken away. Roadside robbery would seem more fitting.

Re: Site issues with Firefox
Bah, don't make me install 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic Alpha on my desktop (I run 32-bit Jaunty + XP on it) just for that sake. No problems on that end though. Have you tried Opera? I use it on both linux and windows (when I rarely use windows). Renders this site perfectly. I know admin checks the site development on both IE7 and the latest Firefox, but ...

Re: Disclosure, change court date
Just try to analyze what the accident report says that is wrong, make a question regarding each point you find, and ask the cop all of them in succession. The questions need to be your own. There are quite a few links pointed to actual recorded court proceedings here, you have to dig them up though. Canlii is an excellent source.

Re: crossing an intersection side by side
I was thinking more in line with "These two jokers with Kawasaki Vulcan 1500's revved it all the way up into the red line from the stop line to the speed limit, which seemed like racing, so I wrote them both 'racing' tickets" explanation.

Re: Following Too Closely & 10 km/h Over (2 Ticks, 2 in
I've never fought anything before, do I plead not guilty and request a trial?
You should do that in any case. 1-st off, your court date will be some time in the future, during which time one of the minor tickets might pass the magic 3-year mark. Secondly, there were 2 officers in car, which means that both have to show up for trial. Save the ...

Re: Disclosure, change court date
Make a huge list of questions, so that every question can be answered from either the notes or the accident report. Have him answer, and then draw attention to the incorrect version, if what he says on the stand is against you.

Re: confused by charge and resulting action
You are absolutely right, fight it! Section 128 does not provide for vehicle seizure and impounding, S.172 does.
