Re: Avcanada forums.

I agree but why are all the threads locked in the Water Cooler? You want someone to post, unlock some threads. Maybe the old members got turned off with the hacking!

Re: Occupy "Your City"

Jealousy and shame is the motivation behind Canada’s radical leftists. They would never admit jealousy is what drives them. In fact, they probably don't even recognize that trait in themselves. But the way the radical left looks at things is not what they have, but what others have. They obsess that...

Re: Attention investors, the pain train is about to hit-Mond

TFSA's are quite the gift. It's worth considering topping one up even if you have to borrow to do it, especially if you can use a secured LOC in the 3 to 4 percent range. Another 2 years and two months and you can have 25 k to invest with no capital gains tax. If you're young and willing to be a li...
