How long before this great idea spreads?

djk, your idea of pickup is wrong. Guys with money have LOGISTICAL advantages such as being able to get into high end clubs and lounges, live in a prime location, easy access to transportation and hotels, nice clothing to make him look shark and clean. But it does not replace game, and quality girls will certainly not going for you just because you make 200k+, especially if she herself is already rich. I know a construction worker married to a gorgeous MD, unemployed artist guy married to a daughter of wealthy factory owner.
BTW, djk, you will find it difficult excel in day trading and be good with women at same time because day trading mess up your emotional well being. Most of successful traders happen to be emotionless - something women find creepy.

The Québec Court of Appeal ruled today, that common-law spouses are discriminated against by the Québec Civil Code because they are deprived of a right to alimony that married couples have.

The decision could affect more than one million Quebecers, and pave the way for common-law spouses to obtain alimony when they split from their partner.

It is shocking to me that over 60 percent of children born in Québec in the past eight years were born out of wedlock!

Weird. The SCC has repeatedly said that a discimination claim must be based on the enumerated grounds in Charter s.15 or grounds analogous thereto and this is a BIG rule of consitutional litigation. Married / unmarried does not seem an analogous ground. I'll read the decision.

Question: If you make an agreement with your partner and in it, it is written that it supercedes any other agrement, that your financial arrangment is whatever, and that the agreement survives a breakup, and that neither of you were co-erced into signing it, then isn't that the binding agreement and the govt can go f* itself?

You cannot make a binding contract that worsens what someone is entitled to under the law. For example you can ask your employees to sign a piece of paper stating that they are not entitled to severance pay. Whether the employee signed this of their free will or not, this contract would not be honoured because the law states you are entitled to severance pay.

In this case void ab initio.

Seeing that sexual orientation, same-sex marriage and marital status have been held to be analogous, it'd be hard to reject a claim based on common law status

I know a guy that make about 60G's, not a handsome lad, dresses like a slob and own 3 or 4 clunkers that enjoys driving on various days of the week, but he owns about 150+ acres of prime land in the countryside, 2 residences and four rental properties. You'd never guess it. I don't think any of his girlfriends have been aware of it either. Oh ya, he's also avery personable guy. Never without a girlfriend in the upper quintile. He's not unique. Your hypothesis doesn't always hold up. Something about book/cover.

The exception to the rule isn't the rule.

Also I wonder if your friend wears something that indicates high status that flies under our radar (and his) but women pick up on. I know women really focus on things like the belt or shoes a man wears to judge a man on.
