Yes, but according to one poster here, his experience with a tiny town in Northern Saskatchewan is true for all Canadians everywhere so I bet on my fruitcake you're wrong.

I work in company of over 1500 employees. Everything is in writing. Handbooks, policies. How can a company operate with any corporate governance? Saying large companies don't is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. If a company refuses to put things in writing, then I question...

My job as a parent is to equip my kids with the skills and confidence they need to take care of themselves so I don't need to assume "ownership" (whatever that means) over them 24/7. They need the ability to make their own decisions, determine if there's a real danger vs an over reaction to a...

Don't question the resident expert on Canada. He knows better than those of us who live here.

Not as easy as that. I live in Ontario where most food items have no tax, some items have only the provincial portion, some items have provincial and federal portion. Some items you think should be tax exempt aren't (granola is tax exempt but granola bars aren't). Anyone who gets it within...

When it comes to clothes, I buy my daughter's needs, she needs to buy her wants. She earns money by extra jobs around the house. No job during the school year as school is her job. She wants to get into a highly competitive program at University so her marks need to be top notch. She also...

I never understood the bathing suit thing. So, it's ok for a person to touch a boy's chest since there's no bathing suit but not his thighs since there is a bathing suit but it's ok to touch a girl's thighs because the bathing suit doesn't cover that? I would think it would be better to tell...

Send them a cease and desist letter. Tell them they have the wrong person and number and the calls must end immediately.

Another Canadian here, Ontario. I also agree that homeowners associations, other than condo boards, are virtually non-existent. Neighbourhood associations have no control over anything on your private property and you pay no dues to them unless they have a community pool or something like that.

Thank goodness my kids, nor any I've been around for any length of time did that stuff. It's not age appropriate if they realize it's unacceptable behavior. While they are in your care, you enforce your rules. Even young kids can learn what may acceptable one place, may not be elsewhere.

Canadians eat the same bacon as american's most often. However, what you call Canadian Bacon, we call peameal bacon or back bacon if it's not made with peameal.

Wrap up some gifts for your kids and put her name on them. That way your kids don't feel like grandma forgot about them. Send her grocery cards monthly so she doesn't have to rely on the food stamps alone. She's your mom. Remember that.

I went to a university with 30,000 students. I'm pretty sure we didn't have a year book. I'm not sure I'd even be able to find people on an alumni site, not that I care enough to look. Why would her being a wealthy business woman make her not legit? Would you say that about a man?

Don't try to compare Canadian debit to US debit or Canadian banking rules and reg's to US ones. They are completely different. I can transfer as much as I like to whatever accounts I like as much as I like. Canada has one of the safest banking systems in the world. I don't have limits. Some...

French door, bottom freezer Samsung, ice maker in freezer, no water in door. LOVE IT! Almost 5 years old and works as good as the day we brought it home.

The only thing I've even given away is my rain ponchos after getting off Kali River Rapids. Asked someone just going in if they wanted them and they were so happy to take them. Never used clothing. That's just weird.

I was at the ridiculous Game 3 in Toronto on Tuesday but my Jays came out in force on Wednesday. All I can say is, this is what we do when backed against a wall. GOJAYSGO! #cometogether

I just did both parks a week ago in a day. I was there for rope drop. I did all the attractions I wanted to. The longest wait was an hour for Crushes Coaster ( sorry, don't remember the name). Everything else was under 15 minutes. We left by 9pm to take the RER A back to Paris. I had no...

For some of us who have been here a long time, some of these responses are pretty funny.

My son plays travel ball (we call it rep here). He's signed by our city so he wouldn't be able to play elsewhere unless they release him. I'm not sure I would necessarily have told the coach until I knew he was on the other team and then hoped for the release.
