A good article on buying a car in the US with your high flying loonie bucks.

A Canadian couple says they were turned down dozens of times when they tried to buy a new car in the United States and are challenging what they regard as illegal discrimination.

Bottom line: hire a broker or US car buying service and save the headache.

Your daily dose of what you already know, but needed to hear.

A new Canadian study suggests that babies&#xu2;019 social and mental development is best when moms don&#xu2;019t return quickly back to work after a birth. This from the National Post:

More good news for those that would surrender their babies to others.

The largest daycare corporation in the world &#xu2;013 often criticized for cutting care to raise profits &#xu2;013 is bringing its controversial form of big-box privatized child care to Canada.

Hope they’re close to the big box stores so their mother’s are too inconvenienced.

Fulford writes that the surrender of local parents and communities to big bureaucracies is showing the inevitable results.

Education, as education bureaucrats will tell you, is the road to the future. But in much of Canada today, it’s a path to mediocrity.

I wish I was not experiencing it firsthand.

More proof that I was born 20 years too late…I have recently started watching Bewitched, which for all intents and purposes, was probably one of the best TV series ever produced.

A fascinating interview with the most talented voice actor the planet has ever seen.

I’m no fan of mixing bikes up with motorized traffic on major routes, but I had to pause when I saw the above memorial on Bayview Ave. the other day. 

Here is the background on the story…I honestly don’t know why people risk their lives driving in traffic on a bike in Toronto.  It can’t be worth it.

Finally, an assessment I can agree with.

More bad news for those of us who wonder where Canada will end up in the digital world down the road.

Let’s not even talk about how far behind we are in the mobile data pricing/speed world.

Listening to 680 news on the radio, I head about this foundation banning sad books.

Quickly, I found this link, which pointed out that this was satire.

No wonder Italy is leading the population implosion.  Its men are wimps!

Even though I voted conservative, I think it’s an easy call that the Libs in Ontario will have an even bigger majority, and Johnny won’t even win his own seat.
