Newfoundland & Labrador Accident Lawyer on Common Mistakes

Filed under: Newfoundland Scene — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 3:03 pm

0 Newfoundland & Labrador Accident Lawyer on Common Mistakeshttp://www.chescrosbie.com/ Newfoundland & Labrador accident lawyer Ches Crosbie discusses the three biggest mistakes to avoid when you have been injured in an automobile accident. Don’t become a victim of not receiving the settlement you deserve, because of a mistake that you make. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, make sure to preserve the accident scene. Make sure to use your cell phone to take pictures of the crash scene. Get the names and addresses of any witnesses. Also, it is your legal obligation to report your auto accident to the police if the property damage appears to be greater than a thousand dollars and/or if there are any personal injuries. Avoid not complying with any medical advice, including treatment and therapy, that your doctor recommends. Failure to comply with these recommendations to the letter can be exploited and used against you by the opposition. Lastly, do not sign any documents or give any statements to an insurance adjuster before speaking with your attorney. Remember, the insurance adjuster is not on your side. He or she works for the insurance company and anything you say or sign can and will be used against you. Talk to the team at Ches Crosbie Barristers first. We will work hard to help you get a satisfying settlement. To learn more about common mistakes to avoid and about your auto accident case, order a copy of our free book, 7 Deadly Sins That Could Wreck Your Injury Claim.  http://www.chescrosbie.com/practice_areas/auto-accidents-and-car-wrecks.cfm

List of Canadian things, Canadian patriotism, Canadian culture, Canadian identities, Canadian pride?

Filed under: Newfoundland Culture — admin @ 8:17 pm

I want to make a list of Canadian things…

A real list.
So, no, ice fishing, saying "Eh", or being a lumberjack wearing plaid do NOT count.

Let me give some examples…

Tim Hortons
Timbits
Montreal smoked meat
Nanaimo bars
Hockey
Maple syrup
Toques
Free health care
Writing a cheque, not check
Showing some colour, not color
Saying Z-ee, not Z-ed
Lonnies
Toonies
Lucky-Loonies
Insulin
CBC
CTV
The Rock (Newfoundland)
Beavers
Terry Fox
CN Tower
Stanley Cup
Government of Canada logo
Calgary Stampede
Trans-Canada Highway
Canadian National Railway
Vimy Ridge
Vimy Memorial
Expo 67
Canadarm
Avro Arrow
Banff National Park
Great Lakes
Bombardier

You keep adding on now!
Coke, you’re like an American troll

Tim hortons… doesn’t matter, it’s still Canadian
Timbits… is it’s own food, it’s like saying "you can’t put Montreal smoked meat, because you listed Montreal"
Hockey… Invented by Canada
Maple syrup… first made in Canada by natives, over %80 of world stock made in Canada, largely know as Canadian. (Apple pie is considered American, yet is was not even invented there)
Toques… Pretty much everyone owns one, and Canadians in winter really give the definition of the word "Toque"
Free health care… isn’t free, it’s socialized, paid by taxes, put a layman’s term of saying it, is "free"
Lucky-Loonies… A loonie placed under an ice rink, that team Canada won on when playing with the loonie under them. Created a fad of a lucky-loonie, soon mass produced and released as a loonie with Olympic rings on it.
Insulin… discovered by Canadians. Radio waves existed forever, and everywhere, yet only recently did people discover them and use them.
The Rock

Reversing Falls in Saint John, N.B.
Magnetic Hill and the Tidal Bore in Moncton, N.B.
Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia
Antonine Maillet and her works, especially La Sagouine
The poem/legend Evangeline
Aqua Neige competition in Val Moni, Quebec
The Fairmont Hotels: Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City & Chateau Lake Louise
Barkersville, B.C.
Sand blast competiotion, Prince Gorge, B.C.
Mr. PG statue, Prince George (OK that’s a bit iffy)
And all of the answers others have provided, from A to ZED

One foot at a time: Hiking the breathtaking scenery of Newfoundland and Labrador

0 One foot at a time: Hiking the breathtaking scenery of Newfoundland and LabradorHiking the hundreds of trails in Newfoundland and Labrador will take you through unspoiled wilderness, along majestic coastlines often visited by whales, rare birds and icebergs, past coves, beaches — and even back in time. Don’t be surprised if you stumble across long forgotten fishing villages, historic lighthouses clinging to cliffsides and ancient fossil sites. The history here is as powerful as the scenery, and both are just waiting for you to walk on by.
