Home Buyer Plan: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals/topics/rrsp/withdrawals/hbp/menu-e.html You can take out a maximum of $20,000 from your RRSP tax free the first time you buy a home.  Read through the link for the details, but there are ways that you can take advantage of this more...

The bank will want to see a larger downpayment (i.e. 25%+) if you're going to try to float two mortgages. They will look at rental income as a source of income if you can provide them with a letter from your tenant stating how much they are paying each month (which requires having a tenant...

Take the CATOs word for it.  If CATOs say you can do it, then you can do it.  Word of mouth and rumours are irrelevant.

If anyone else is interested in knowing the answer rather than simply reading snyde replies, after some further searching I believe that Ric-a-Dam-Doo is Gaelic for "cloth of thy mother".  I'm not 100% on this though, so please PM me if you know otherwise. Mods, feel free to lock this - no one...

Not quite. "...as it later became known...."   Why?   What does this term mean?

Thank you for your leads, but I still don't have my answer.  I can find a multitude of information on the history of the PPCLI's colours, but I haven't found a site yet that explains what "Ric-a-Dam-Doo" means. http://www.ppcli.com has a great deal of information, but doesn't answer my...

Quick question that hopefully someone in the know can answer. A fellow history teacher had her students researching units that served in WWII, and some of her students came across a reference to the PPCLI's colours, and the fact that the original colours are referred to as the "Ric-a-Dam-Doo"...

From the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea:  States must also "cooperate in the suppression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances..." (Article 108).  Pretty loosely worded though - I'm not sure how much power we'd have to board if the flag state isn't onside.  I've...

Quite simply, no.  The same way that I don't see them putting forward money to purchase new MP aircraft in the first place when we have dozens of other priorities.  But it would seem a logical solution if we were to ever procure more aircraft.  Put some of them in Greenwood, some in Gander...

Standards for Harassment and Racism Prevention.

GANDER?

True, but it could be used as a short-term fix while we wait and see what the A400 will look like.  This may be politically difficult though, as it would look like we're asking for new kit yet again 5-10 years down the road.

Rumour has it the expected timeframe for Air Force CADPAT issue out of Borden is June-ish.  Personally I think this is somewhat optimistic though, as I know army-types kitted out of Borden that are still in olive drab.

Something's wrong with these numbers.  45+15+32+13=105%.  Unless of course you can declare yourself to be of more than one ethnic background.

Isn't this maybe taking things just a bit far?  I know we're kidding around and everything, but I think we've got a long way to go before we can start comparing Martin to a tyrannous Haitian dictator. I was going to try to refute this.  Then I went to Out of the Cold's website.  It states...

I wish!  When was the last time we had an Ontarian as PM???  Lester Pearson 1968.

As I've said previously in another thread, we very much can and do fail kids at the high school level.  Unfortunately, their patterns of behaviour and attitude are generally well established by the time they get to us, so most of them don't seem to be overly concerned about failing a grade 9...

Better get used to it if you plan on joining the CF.  Tests are common, and not up for discussion.  Throughout your career you will encounter many things that you may not necessarily agree with, but you're going to have to learn to see past that and complete them to the best of your ability...

This is the last news that I've heard: http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/news/2004/11/16_e.asp Only a partial lifting of restrictions, allowing SAR, maintenance flights and critical training flights.  That news is more than a month old though, so hopefully things have changed in the weeks since.

I think the Parliamentary Program is a great step forward in educating our elected members: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/focus/DECPR/parlprogram_e.asp Now if only more of them would actually participate! Has anyone on here had first hand experience with this?  I'm curious to know how...
