Knock Knock!! Hello guys, permission to join the house. I will be taking off for Toronto this evening from Abuja. It's so good to finally join this group, after peeking in at the window for over one year. I waited so long for this day, now it's here and the dream is taking shape, finally.

salford1: The ones I've met don't even meet the minimum qualifications sometimes. I'm glad you said you'd do the same as long as it's legal. Claiming refugee in Canada and getting your story heard is not a crime. Even if you're suspected of making up the story. The hypocrisy towards these people is comical. What's even more funny, is that these perfect saints in Canada bashing these refugees, they act like since arriving in Canada they've never gave a friend a resume, and said "bros, abeg help me hand my resume to your hiring manager. Make sure you give a good word about me". Isn't that gaming the system ? Either way the subject tire me. 2 Likes |

Kaycee54321: This is the same excuse that kidnappers, robbers, yahoo boys give for their actions. I guess your justification for this will cover them too? Let’s not be hypocrites o. There’s black and white, then there’s grey. I’m not a saint of course, but I will not publicly say grey is black or white because it’s convenient. It’s the Nigerian narrative, and it has gone on for long enough. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Influential101: The next four years is going to be tough for Albertans. While the cuts are necessary, I do not believe it's an effective way to a balanced budget. This budget presented is just a tax increment by cuts/proxies and passing on the buck to the municipal government who would in turn cut services and pass on the costs to residents. In my opinion, a PST and a few spending restrictions would have resolved some of the mess, but Albertans don't want a PST despite being the highest paying province and lowest taxing province in Canada. The UCP are trying to balance the budget off the back of cuts, infrastructure development, students, low to middle income earners, management and union workers (teachers, nurses, AUPE members etc) in government establishments, while reducing corporate taxes - trickle down economics or corporate welfare. It's ironic that despite the cut to corporate tax, Husky Energy declared profit, laid of hundreds of employees and are going to be investing more in Saskatchewan, a province with a higher corporate tax. The huge companies just get richer by banking the money. The Alberta recession has made a lot of companies realised they could do more with little and automation. In my opinion, it would have a big impact on personal finance. Utility bills, insurance, school busing, municipal taxes, tuition, job loss etc. A federal imposed carbon tax is also coming. You should read the comment section in that link. You would have a feel of what is to come. 8 Likes 2 Shares

Congratulations! Thanks for the tip! Ours is for Dec 18, still checking for an earlier date. Was yours advanced or basic? Where they two instructors with you in the car? Did you use your personal car or was it a car hire? Can you recommend a coach for brushing and route understanding? Thanks again ugoguchy: 1 Like 2 Shares |

that's another thing. My friends have been receiving mails; overspeeding tickets especially on these two roads. It's not easy when a road is smooth and free from bumps and traffic. salford1: |

They still do. Watch out for the Black Ford Explorar Some folks have their google map beep when they are approaching a camera traffic spot, so they adjust. salford1: |

Claire18: It's kind of easy to to know when cops are around. Drivers ahead of you will suddenly start slamming on the brakes when they spot cameras or cops. Tickets in the mail are still okay, but the ones handed out by cops are not. They go on record - demerits. Alot of technical jobs would ask for driver's abstract and that is where it comes back to hunt some people. Google can be inneffective at times, because the city would often move the cameras around. Some cops also hide behind street light post or signboards with their laser guns. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

salford1: Re : cops hiding . Those guys are experts in the art of being invisible While driving I've seen them parked in the most obscure locations that by time you see them its far too late to slow down if you were speeding . I also shared a while back how in Ontario and some other provinces they hide in yellow school buses looking for unsuspecting drivers distracted behind the wheel 1 Like 1 Share |

CanadianNaija: Of course. Black is Black and White is White...but I won't judge those on the 'black' side simply because I'm privileged to be on the 'white' side. I'm not justifying evil in any way but I'm also not the one to judge the action of others except I happen to take a career in Law. No child ever says 'I want to be a Kidnapper when I grow.' We all had good and lofty dreams but then Life happens and people just stumble into paths they never dreamt to be in. 1 Like |

Kaycee54321: Ok. According to you, somethings are justifiable as long as it’s done in line with self preservation. I hope you don’t criticize the current state of our country of origin sha? Yahoo boys, politicians, kidnappers, corrupt officials, etc...from their perspective all na self preservation. I’m a sinner o, but I will not come out in public and justify sin because I know that a sin is a sin. We are all adults that know right from wrong, let’s not pretend that we don’t. 5 Likes |
