  • After his arguments failed to convince bylaw officers, Ruck took his case to court. Legal precedent supports naturalised gardening in Ontario, where in 1996 a court ruled that Sandy Bell, a Toronto gardener, had the right to express her environmental beliefs through gardening, overturning a fine issued to her under the city’s weeds and grass bylaw.

    But Ruck, who represented himself, lost his case on procedural grounds after arguing that the city had applied the bylaw unfairly and arbitrarily. Now on the hook for the municipality’s legal bills of $6,000 (£3,450), he has filed an appeal.

  • And also you are likely to buy a car that you will only get in a year (or more) and half the electronics might be missing their chip. You’ll get all sorts of garbage car apps and features that are meant to be deactivated in a few years when the subscription model is mainstream.

    So I just bought a 2011. Standard transmission, 160k km, no monthly payments. Even with the worse possible maintenance/repair and the high prices for gas, I easily saved 25k. I could change the entire engine 5 times and it would still be cheaper than one major repair on new cars.
