...Scotiabank said they have strong internal controls and processes in place for loans such as this one, but declined to explain what documentation is required for a high-value loan...

Methinks there'll be more to the story (bit of a slight stench of internal conspiracy at the dealership itself) but it is simply baffling how any financial institution could allow such a thing to happen in this day and age.

"yOu'Re RiChEr ThAn YoU tHiNk!"

They've established that the lady never bought the SUV & yet she says she's hopeful she won't have to pay off the fraudulent loan. ******* banks, I've always hated them & that will never change.

It's not creepy..... it's Hollywood !

What was the point of the video? Was it sarcasm by a desperate actor going down? Or someone who truly believes he is innocent? But then there's that sexual assault charge in front of him now  coming at him like a runaway freight train. He's going to get squashed methinks. 

I dont understand how people can pick a side when they don't know the whole story...... actually most people don't know any of the stories from either side.

Well I think they’ve been together a long time. 

are we all just going to pretend that Woodstock 99 never happened? because people would get angry over not having a wifi signal in this day and age, so I don't know if this is a good idea, yes I do know the significance of the original Woodstock

He posted it after being charged. So I think it was just arrogance that he could leverage a popular character into creating a new narrative and generating support. 

It was wildly bizarre.

That's unfortunate. If anything, we should be on DST year-round. Evening sunlight > morning sunlight.

Just to interject, this is a private member bill that has had first reading. Some local "media" were reporting this like it had passed the committee work, 2nd and 3rd reading, received Royal Assent and was proclaimed. 

We're very far from this being passed.

I hadn't noticed that. And considering it came from a guy the PCs booted from their caucus, it's got about the same odds of passing as he had of convincing that young female staffer to sit on his lap during a crowded meeting.

Surprised Trumpster has not got rid of it. Seems like the anti-environmental thing to do.

A theory which has little to no evidence to support it.

Wasnt it to save on energy back when we used oil lamps or something?  Seems wild to have half the country or more switch hours twice a year.  Just keep it the same.  Who cares?
