Re: Re: Lara Roxx -- my live encounter For those of you who don`t follow the street action thread: Oliver`s post - street action (general)

The problem here is that Ronnie has not quoted the actual text of the law. When she started citing these articles, she at least had said that it was a summary -- however distorted it might be -- and sometimes added her own personal commentary. The intro she gave above is misleading inasmuch as...

Mirror article In this week's issue of the Mirror: Two eggs, overly easy Where the breakfast is topless and coffee is bottomless [Edit note: URL updated.]

Urban legend or joke? H.R. In our haste to be helpful to what appeared to have been a legitimate inquiry by someone, I begin to wonder if your (short & long-term) memory is failing you or if you're having some fun at our expense. I raise the question because no one local knows of such a...

A specific exception to the rule about the use of English words on business signs is where the business is the owner or licensee of a registered trade mark. Companies from outside of Quebec, even if they have a unilingual English corporate name, must adopt a French trade name before their...

Chinese buffets When I'm not eating Filet-O-Fish, I enjoy going to Chinese buffets. The big one in Chinatown is called the Poon Kai-Jardin de Jade, and it is indeed always busy. The good thing about this is that freshly cooked food is always being brought out to keep the trays full. This is...

Nobody expects the .... To try and tie together some of the observations that have been made here, and maybe actually address the situation which SK described in the post which started this thread, the agent in the booth at the border has to make some quick subjective calls based on visual...

Distinct Society Besides what has already been said in response, you forget that Quebec considers itself a "distinct society". It is the only province that collects its own income tax, and the only way there was some form of co-operation on sales taxes was when the feds agreed to allow Quebec...

With respect to entering Canada, I believe this has to do with assessing what is the true purpose of your visit from an immigration perspective, since there is no monitoring of the duration of a visitor's stay where no visa is required. Are you a tourist/visitor, or in fact a short-term...

In that area, it may be partly a problem of language. However, with the cold weather we've been having recently (before last weekend), the Metro cops seem to be more tolerant of panhandlers and street people staying inside. The brush-off could be a knee-jerk reaction to the many pitches...

This wouldn't be possible because the customs people (feds) are not collection agents for fines ordered by municipal and provincial courts. In the case of a local resident who doesn't pay a traffic fine, the court advises the SAAQ (Quebec's licencing body) that fine hasn't been paid. The SAAQ...

For the Gallically-challenged: Translation of the last three posts by Maylee & Joeblow: Privacy I think that you do not have to ask yourselves why we do this for a living. We have no one to answer to, it's our life. I don't ask questions of my clients, I never ask them why they come...

In Quebec, imprisonment is not a penalty generally for violations of municipal by-laws or provincial statutes. If you don't show up, there is no risk of a bench warrant being issuing, and one would be merely condemned to pay a fine and costs. There have been in the past a few cases (which the...

It looks like, although still registered as a member, Oliver deleted all his posts: Oliver member profile If you read the last thread he had started, he apparently had a safe sex ephiphany and was re-orienting his hobbying practices. I was wondering what was going on here, because the...

In which league? The Expos will be very happy to hear this :D http://montreal.expos.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mon/news/mon_news.jsp?ymd=20040210&content_id=636156&vkey=news_mon&fext=.jsp

Still dreaming In Saturday's Globe & Mail, there was an advertisement offering for sale a big chunk of the land which was destined for the "Labatt Stadium". However, the current owner, who bought the property from the federal government after the Expos' option was allowed to expire, is only...

Underground city Yes, they have. You go south through Complexe Guy Favreau to get to and to walk westward through the newly expanded Palais des Congres. You then go down one level into a tunnel and I believe there is a direct access from it to the World Trade Centre. I really didn't notice...

Re: Inter-Continental Hotel? The InterContinental is now hooked up with the underground tunnel network which can get you to downtown without going outside and freezing your ***** off. The access signs though may not be very clear, since this was only recently completed.
