Although he has a point something about this whole video was bothering me. 1. He seems to be enjoying the fact that the economy is going down the toilet. He laughs (IMO) inappropriately. Although he has a good prediction I am sure many share this view He also doesn't make recommendations for investments, just said not the USA. 2. She does seem to not understand what he's saying, or acts like the light bulb isn't on. Then later she asks him what he's doing with his portfolio and it doesn't really go anywhere. For someone in her position you would think she's on top of the economy news with everything she would be hearing and the people she would meet. When I step back and look at this as a whole, I wonder what the point was them in broadcasting this, because I am sure this was all rehearsed before they went on camera. Was it to promote his blog or paper for readership? Thanks, Machine.

It happened last Sunday. Don't you know? Everyone was talking about it.

Sweetheart, it's not an Ontario law. It's a Federal law. DUI is a criminal offence in Canada. Don't know if the US sees it as that, as obviously this jerk this thread is about doesn't seen to give a damn. In Canada he would be screwed pretty much for life. Employment, working with children, seniors, healthcare many other places where they do a background check on you. The Criminal record information is passed between the USA and Canada. They have it all on file. Yes they can turn anyone away at either border because the file would say Criminal record. Not necessarily DUI. Could have been attempted murder for all they know. He should have had a copy of his release documents with him. Your friend on the bus should get a pardon after so many years so that he can travel to Canada. It would remove it from the file that the USA and Canada share. It works both ways. It's not OK to get caught bringing drugs into Canada. Either is smuggling over $10K in money. All Criminal records are recorded and shared. So...don't blame Canada. The USA is exactly the same. You know what really irritates me. People think Canada is so woosy and that we have no balls or sense. But when it comes to something like this, the person coming into Canada feels they have the right to walk as if they own the place.

True enough. But all kidding aside, I don't know that your laws are as tough as ours. He would have spent 30 days and maybe more if he couldn't pay the fines. Car would have been impounded and the would have joined some nice big boys in the tank.

I'd like to buy a "U" for $250.

You are too funny... He's lucky he's not here in Canada. Second time he would have got 30 days, fines up to $5K and combine that with no license due to the earlier charge, jail time from 1 - 3 years. Don't think he'd be laughing on facebook. I don't think fines are tough enough for some of these losers.

World's largest oil refinery. I like reading that.

His mother must be proud.

He will come back under a new name.

What's the matter Saint. Cat got your tongue.

One of two ways. 1. Either capital gains (taxed on only 50% of his 1.5 million). He'd be taxed on $750K in that case. 2. Or like Lotteries where he would pay nothing. We don't pay tax on any lottery winners no matter how many millions you win. People win 20 million they pay no tax. If I were to guess, I'd say #1. Much like owning a second home and selling it. Capital gains tax. The same tax we will pay on the dinar revalue if it ever comes to make anything. Move to Alberta and pay the lowest taxes in Canada at 19.5% on capital gains. Saint, I think I will hold out for a better offer. Besides, I like it. Happy for this man. He seems like a really nice person who really deserved something good to happen in his life.

Now don't you go talking about Dontlop yanking and things all twisted now...Bumper will be here to shut you down. Besides, I don't want to know what he does in his private moments.

So do the French....ooops did I say that out loud... :lol:

Really you think so? Don't let the blonde hair fool you. You however are an ADHD Bi Polar brain fart

Dontlop...leave and go back to the lopster pot to quench your thirst from all the talking you are doing. I made you guys a nice big pitcher of margs.

Not in Canada...

No please...you keep him. I can't read his posts...They make me dizzy. I don't fancy the koolaid but I made you a pitcher of margs...

Yes DT and Sterling

Oh good lord....I will pray for all of you. How you continue on this thread with the same ole same ole is beyond me.

I wonder what I can get for my Turkish rug in the basement.

All the Americans (I'm not talking the wealthy who hold foreign bank accounts) who work out of the country because that is where their job takes them and that's where their company may have offered to transfer them, might have trouble opening a bank account in one of those countries that doesn't want to incur the cost. One of two things could happen. They could refuse Americans a bank account because it's "just too much trouble and costly" or they may charge heavier fees for those with American citizenship. I do know that in many places in the US I can open a bank account although I am Canadian. I also know I have been refused at some banks in the last couple of years. BOA for one. They just didn't want to deal with non-Americans. Same could happen for Americans. All in all, this is "Big Brother" at it's finest. Lets take this a step further. The US will impose fines on those banks if they don't comply. They want information on your bank account such as amount. What if they started forcing those foreign banks (and I'm not talking the wealthy folks I'm talking ordinary American workers who work outside of the country) to remove that money from their account and send it to the IRS. They could steal their money.

Fighting the fear of Ebola Everyone, from marathoners to Boy Scouts, is working to replace rumours and fear with facts By Genna Buck | Maclean's – Sat, 16 Aug, 2014 TouchVision - Experimental drugs enough for three Ebola patients arrived in Liberia but officials emphasize that more needs to be done to stop the outbreak. Eight months after the first signs of trouble in West Africa, there have been, at last count, 1,975 infections and 1,069 deaths from the Ebola virus. Panic and fear, but not the disease, have spread through much of the world. The World Health Organization says Ebola is raging out of control in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone faster than efforts to stop it. It has declared a public health emergency of worldwide concern, triggering a coordinated effort to treat, trace and halt the spread of the virus. It’s an international emergency, not a global pandemic. Ebola is terrifying and lethal, but the experts say it’s not coming for us. Still, Canada has advised against non-essential travel to affected countries. British Airways and Emirates, among others, have cancelled or postponed flights. In recent days, people who turned up at airports with fevers and a history of travel to the outbreak zone were promptly isolated in Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, New York City, Hong Kong and Brampton, Ont. All were false alarms. It may seem to be only a matter of time before another Patrick Sawyer—who flew from Liberia to Togo before collapsing in Lagos, Nigeria, where he infected a handful of poorly protected health workers before dying of Ebola—arrives here and ignites an epidemic. Not likely, says Harvard virologist James Cunningham. “Could Ebola spread because you get on an airplane and then go into the subway in a major Western city? That appears not to be the case at all. You’d have to touch everybody, and you’re prostrate so quickly you’re not going to walk around,” he says. Ebola causes scorching fever, vomiting, diarrhea, intense weakness, body pain and sometimes internal and external bleeding. It spreads through bodily fluids and isn’t contagious until symptoms appear, which takes up to three weeks. A very spitty sneeze can transmit it; sharing an elevator cannot. There’s no proven cure, and the current mortality rate is 55 per cent. But Ebola can’t hang around in the air or withstand sunlight, bleach or warm water and soap. Unless you’ve touched the body fluids of someone who has it (or butchered a fruit bat, the suspected reservoir), you won’t get it. Making an Ebola vaccine Victor Klimyuk, COO of the company Icon Genetics inspects Tobacco plants (Nicotiana benthamiana) in a laboratory in Halle, August 14, 2014. Icon Genetics develop a technology to mass produce Ebola ... more West Africans, like Juliana Kemokai, 19, are bearing the burden of this outbreak. She’s from Heigbema village, near the Ebola-ravaged city of Kenema, Sierra Leone. Three weeks ago, Ebola tore through her family. Her mother caught it first, and since they share a bed, Kemokai was quickly infected. She passed it to her husband and seven-month-old son, Alieu. Her mother, her cousin, and the baby all died. Defiant, upbeat and optimistic for her husband, who is still in isolation, Kemokai took her first steps out of the Kenema Ebola treatment centre on Aug. 10. She survived the virus.“People are scared to come close to me, but they are happy I am alive. People are surprised. They say hello, but they don’t touch.” Kenema’s Ebola treatment centre holds around 45 confirmed and 20 suspected patients. More arrive daily. Their care falls to Nancy Yoko, who took over as head nurse after the previous one died of the virus. She works 14-hour shifts and hasn’t taken a day off since May. The centre is separated from the rest of Kenema Government Hospital with sheets and chicken wire. Though inadequate by international standards, the main hospital is usually packed with cholera and malaria patients during the summer rainy season. It’s been deserted for a month. Locals see it as a de facto morgue. More than 20 of the 81 total health worker deaths in the outbreak happened here. Everyone entering the isolation area dons protective clothing that seals out the virus but seals in body heat and sweat. Exhausted nurses, paid a paltry US$50 per week after a recent $11 raise, were not protecting themselves properly and making mistakes, Yoko says. At times they were so short-staffed they had to leave patients unsupervised at night, knowing they’d find bodies in the morning. Over the past two weeks Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF) has moved in, reopening part of the hospital, training 40 staff in infection control and setting up washing stations and clearly marked high-risk areas. Where vomit, diarrhea, blood and corpses were once strewn around, cleaners now come three times a day. The only therapies available are IV fluids and acetaminophen. Forget comforts like air conditioning: Yoko says the unit needs stretchers, wheelchairs and mattresses. Only two weeks ago, rioters stormed the centre. “They thought nurses were injecting them with poison and with the virus, and then stealing blood and organs and making money,” says Yoko. “People were just scared. They did not know anything about the disease, so they were believing anything.” The WHO says the outbreak “continues to evolve in alarming ways, with no immediate end in sight.” But in some places, where they can, people are fighting back. Idrissa Kargbo, 23, is a Sierra Leonean marathoner whose hopes were dashed when his race in Liberia was cancelled. So he became a Red Cross volunteer, visiting villages to spread the word about Ebola. “They listened to me. They said, ‘We’re going to do what you say, we’re going to protect ourselves,’ ” he says. Mohammed Junisa, a health educator in Kenema, who was himself once an Ebola denier, says 90 per cent of the people he works with now believe the virus is real. Survivor stories like Kemokai’s are having an impact. Ebola survivors, who are immune, make the best educators, says Reine Lebel, an MSF psychologist from Quebec who helped respond in Guinea this spring. She told some of her Ebola patients, so weak they became depressed and wanted to die, “You need to survive. You can be an agent of change in your community.” MSF sent patients and families home to their villages with pictures they took in the hospital, helping to dispel the rumours of organ snatching. Fighting misinformation is an uphill battle, says Arthur http://iqd.me/l/11, the national coordinator of the Sierra Leone Film Council. http://iqd.me/l/11 says deep institutional mistrust and lingering tensions from Sierra Leone’s 1991-2002 civil war, which spilled into Guinea and Liberia, have led some to believe the government wants to exterminate people in the Ebola-stricken region. Incidentally, it is a stronghold of political opposition. “Ebola kills” was the first public health message to take root in Sierra Leone, says http://iqd.me/l/11. “That increases the fear and gives rise to the spread. If there’s no hope, they’ll look to the church and witchcraft.” So, through the NGO WeOwnTV, he has recruited stars like rapper Barmmy Boy and local actors to act in public service announcements. http://iqd.me/l/11 stars as a man who survives Ebola because his wife cajoles him into going to a treatment centre. As the virus has spread, denial has waned a little. Boy Scouts have been recruited to put up posters and make scratchy announcements on megaphones. They’re being heard: In the capital, Freetown, latex gloves and plastic buckets have doubled in price. People now brush elbows or bow instead of shaking hands. Bans on public gatherings and police-enforced quarantines of whole regions are reminding some of wartime. Ebola acceptance would be “overwhelming” if people without the Internet could actually see what’s happening, http://iqd.me/l/11 says, but state television incessantly replays an ancient documentary about the 1976 outbreak in Zaire. http://iqd.me/l/11 is waiting for the information ministry to approve his videos. He plans to play them on projectors in villages and at roadside advertising centres, filling screens that play Coca-Cola ads with health messages. As for Juliana Kemokai, she’s hopeful. Her husband, John, seems to be improving. She believes he too will survive. “I will start again. I lost my family members. But my brothers and I survived. We are lucky.” With reporting from Jo Dunlop in Kenema, Sierra Leone https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fighting-the-fear-of-ebola-212752627.html
