A great Canadian Way to spend the weekend

I thought you guys might find this entertaining for a few minutes, Every year we do a race; buy cheap cars, do up paint themes, and go race them in a field. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W8EhfMLAMM Last years video was hilarious as well.

Car engine damaged - oil drain plug missing

You mentioned it was parked for a while, how many KM's or miles between now and the oil change? If its very small I'd work that angle rather then the 3 month angle.

Hoping I get a severance package Monday

Indeed, you either gotta come clean or push on Monday. Ie you need it off, or an explanation for why you can't (as you don't have work anyway, why can't you take it).

This, say that you need to schedule a day off on Monday and that you potentially might need Friday off as well for personal time. Saying issue might mean you have to explain something.

Canadian origin?? Any issues?

Just be careful about getting an oilfield truck. If it was registered in AB, or SK its probably been ridden hard and put away wet. I know someone here who has exported our trucks every time the dollar falls apart. He's never had an issue.

Canadian Rambo kills 3 officers, manhunt underway

Your correct, even pointing it AT someone is a criminal offense here. Now in a in home, self defense senario, I'd take my chances. What the crown prosecutes you for and what a Jury will convict you on. I'd rather be alive to find that out.

Incorrect. You require a PAL (Possession and Acquisition License) which means you have to take a course and take an exam, practical and written (or challenge it). This then get submitted to the RCMP who review the file, call your references, and do a background check. (and its a different...

Battery charger for depleted battery

If it was right after they recharged your battery, then a phenomenon known as "surface charge" will cause the battery voltage to be higher than normal. To get rid of it either: 1. Allow the battery to sit for six hours with no load or charger connected 2. Apply a 25 amp...

Well they can offset the reduced passenger (ie kids) weight with more cargo. The tricky part would be when people come in significantly over what they said and you have to reoptimize your cargo to passenger ratio. Start charging a pentalty if your weight that you enter online is over a %...

No restriction on amount but on type. There are 3 classifications: - Non-Restricted - Restricted - Prohibited You can get a license for Non Restricted and Restricted fairly easily, Prohibited is far more difficult. The easist way is if you inherit them.
