    It's extremely hard to get private information out of many businesses in Canada because of the information privacy act put up 10 or so years ago. It's actually illegal for your employer to hand out ANY information about you to people just asking without a signed and expressed permission form from you allowing it.

    I think U of T got hammered with a small lawsuit a couple of years ago about improper disclosure (and I believe it was a technicality that caught their balls, too, they weren't really in the wrong) so they're being hard assed about everything since.

    If they are on a stealth mission they turn their transponders off and go tactical VFR. The place they are going knows they are coming and there are procedures that they follow.

  3. When talking to the press who have not formed an opinion about you, be kind to them, otherwise be VERY careful how you say something. What sounds intelligent when said looks retarded on paper, if they like you, they'll paraphrase you and you'll sound intelligent.

  4. I thought you were a lawyer?
    Check out Mr. Businessman
    He bought some wild, wild life
    On the way to the stock exchange
    He got some wild, wild life

  5. I did journalism as my undergrad.

    That goes for just about any wire-esque piece of equipment.

    Check out Monoprice to see closer to the wholesale prices that big box retail enjoys.

    Right, but they are unlikely to go stealth for a control tower here.

  8. This was such a great thread idea. It's like a Chuck Pahalaniuk book in thread form.
