The Canadian Thread
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Hard to tax payment for the work as well!! A little off topic: We are seeing more creative barter or exchanges on a quid pro quo here. It's driving the Canada Revenue Agency (The tax people) crazy, trying to figure out how to catch it and tax the exchange. I know of a travel agency that had brochures etc. printed. No $$$$ exchanged, but the shop received two cruise tickets. In other instances, stuff given in exchange, given out in lieu of commissions. We think it has to do with a subtle tax revolt. Are you seeing anything similar?? -
Many here, carry a small aluminum shovel in winter, a bag of grit a blanket and some candles and matches. Nothing like getting stuck, even on the highway, when it's -20 or -30 and running out of gas. City dwellers sometimes fail to recognize the potential risks of winter driving. A chemical salesman, from Montreal, once called on me, in my Ottawa office, in January, wearing a raincoat and toe-rubbers on his shoes, As snowy and cold as it was, I asked him about his choice of winter wear. He responded that he lived in an apartment and parked his car in a heated underground garage. His only exposure to the elements was getting out of his car and going into his clients offices from their parking lots. Coming from Alberta with a good grasp of the dangers of on the road winter driving, I spent some time advising him what he should carry for potential emergencies, knowing he sold his companies chemical product to the pulp and paper industry north of Ottawa. I knew he had to drive by a sporting goods store I often haunted shopped at and suggested he should pick up a few things for winter car travel in the boonies. He called a week later and thanked me. He had run into a major blizzard north of Ottawa and and was stuck on the road, out of gas after the first night. Fortunately, he had stopped and purchased a down filled mummy bag, a Ski-Doo suit and boots along with some protein bars. It took two more days for the plows and blowers to reach where he was stranded between Kapuskasing and Geraldton, Ontario.

For the manned, sub-sonic bombers, of that time, I nominate the AVRO CF-100 "Canuck" as the best interceptor of that era. 26 ballistic rocket in each wing pod and eight .50 caliber Browning machine guns in an underbelly pod. All in one piece quick change out systems. -

When my Father was transferred from CEPE* to Public Relations, the Golden Hawks became his main focus for a while. I still have the shoulder patches for the team. * Central Experimental and Proving Establishment. (He got to see and play with all the cool stuff!) -

One of the last true Interceptors of manned bombers. No guns, only missiles. A one mission aircraft. My Father was working of the missile weapon system for it when it was cancelled, following the launch of Sputnik. -

I took advantage of ADI's "Contact Us" feature and asked about TB production. Maybe we should all give them a nudge?? -

We heard a rumour about that elsewhere, but didn't really believe it. But since you've admitted it.............. -

Mine just keep failing. No explosions. If you still have any incandescent bulbs around, maybe try one of those. That's what I'm going to try.
