    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    Phil: There is no election in Ontario and won't be for several years. There is a Leadership contest being held by the out-of-power party. Those candidates will say almost anything to anyone to get an (internal party) vote. None of it is binding. As to the issue of the regulations; these change...

    CCW and Trucking?

    Do not bring any weapons across the border. This includes MACE and pepper spray. I wouldn't even bring a hunting knife. Leave 'em all at home folks. We don't want 'em and you don't need 'em. Customs is always on the lookout for illegally smuggled weapons and truckers are a prime target.

The day of reckoning will come sooner than most of us think. There might be lots of oil left but it...
