If the military members were not paying Provincial income tax I could see it. That Provincial income tax creates a subsidy for the h... |

Alrighty then, food is up, mortgages are up, gas is up so let's kick everyone while they are down and raise interest rates. That will surely help the average Canuck get by.
Who does the interest rate increase help?
The banks of course, their profits must be low this quarter. |

herbie herbie:
As for Bookmark folders, if you hit the |||\ they aren't there, but I added the direct bookmark icon (underlined star) to the menu, mine are in there.
Thanks Herbie, took me a bit to figure out I needed to find the underlined star thing.
They are all back now.
Cheers Dave |

All of the folders in my bookmarks disappeared when I updated. The sites are there as I can get to them if I use bookmark "search" but the folder layout is gone.
I have dozens of folders with sites for each.
Anyone have any ideas? |

Bose QC 35 x 2.
I have had many over the years but these are the best I have used both for noise cancellation and sound quality. Battery lasts for a long time and recharging is relatively quick. |

| That's very true Bartman. It's almost like the 'boy who cried wolf' effect where we've all heard the warning so often most people tune it out know. And to an extent, I think people who still realise the potential for a catastrophic quake deep down realise that no matter how prepared we are for the ... |
