    Taxis and ride-sharing in Toronto

    But this driver did not own the car, he merely drove it for someone else. My question should have been restricted to an "Ambassador" cab owner/operator.

    Taxis and ride-sharing in Toronto

    Power Wheelchair sales

    Tried them thanks, lots of chairs on their web site but no chairs in their showroom. They didn't understand why a customer would want to look at the materials and workmanship in a $10,000 product without paying for it first.

    Power Wheelchair sales

    I am trying to buy a power wheelchair for my wife and have discovered that this little slice of the retail market is highly resistant to shopping. A trip through the market on the 'net reveals a wide variety of models and prices, lots of photos and specifications but it seems that you are...

    Housing costs

    FWIW We bought our starter home in 1961 in North York for less than $15,000 on a weekly wage of $105. The 30 year, 6.75% mortgage carried for under $100 per month including property tax. We are busy folks and never got around to moving, the house is now worth $600,000.
