thanks all for the comments...seems like there might be some faint hope. I'm trying to gently encourage her to consult a lawyer but I am limited in what I can do. Her world is falling apart and she seems unable to help herself. It's really sad, they were a nice couple.

My neighbour lived common law in Ontario for many years. Her "husband" recently passed away. He was not divorced from his first wife. "Husband" left no will and no provision for my neighbour. First wife is claiming everything. Does my neighbour have any recognition or provision under law? She is...

simple really...just a fucked up life...the last six years are a blur...wife with cancer, death of both parents, one will challenged by a sibling, diagnosed with a chronic crippling disease...all the while trying to keep a small company afloat...a bit overwhelming...and CRA was not a priority...

Revenue Canada wants my assets...I own nothing, house is in mama bear's name...how long is Revenue Canada's arm? can they take the house? what are my options? bankruptcy?

anyone done it? I found a car in the States, thinking of flying down and driving home. Any "gotcha's" at the border? Goofy fees? GST? etc etc etc Or should I just bolt on Ontario plates and drive on? thanks,

hang 'em show no mercy. live by the sword, die by the sword!

here's a thought... How about 'free' transit? no tickets, no tokens, just get on board. Pay for the system from general revenues.

presumably Gwyn implies that a "doctorate in mathematics" is required to understand PR. I don't think he gets it...

thanks Judas, sorry I'm so grumpy, haven't been laid for a while, sperm poisoning I guess... :)

Fuck me! I really don't know why I bother posting here! My numbers come from Stat's Canada figures. Stat's Canada defines the family income required to maintain a standard of living in numerous regions across Canada. Family groups with income below that level are living 'below the poverty line'...

Dear Mr Cat, thanks for stirring the PR pot.:) Only a few responders but that's OK, any debate on PR is good. Sadly, in my little circle of friends, PR is virtually unknown. It's an awkward term to the uninitiated. I sometimes call it 'fair vote' for simplicity. cheers,

This is unacceptable! And what is the justification for child poverty? They chose the wrong parents???

Dawgger, perhaps depends on your vantage point. Approx 1 in 5 Canadians live below the poverty line, even worse 1 in 4 Canadian children. Wonder how they feel about the economy? I believe these stats are consistent through Liberal and Conservative gov'ts. Not trying to pick a fight but there...

Let's chat after Jan 23... Anyone have the Green numbers handy from the last fed election???

my pitch for PR hmmm...interesting...a condemnation of our 'first-past-the-post' voting system. Perhaps 500,000 Canadians will vote Green this time around. I'm embarassed for a country which disenfranchises so many voters. And imagine voting Conservative in Quebec...or voting Liberal in...

here's a thought... Mandatory handguns for every Canadian adult. Annual training and testing to ensure that every citizen can shoot to kill. Have roadside handgun checks...if you are found not carrying your gun you are fined. Handguns work 'cause only the assholes have 'em. Imagine a...
