5.03 (2) A lawyer shall not sexually harass a colleague, a staff member, a client, or any other person.

It seems they could have saved some ink just saying 'A lawyer shall not sexually harass any person.'

But then that would leave out their colleagues.

Man all those office sex documentaries I saw were totally wrong. 

Well, just because some rule says you can't do it doesn't mean it isn't done - just that you are taking a big risk ...

I should be able to get a blowjob from a 24 year old needy chick in exchange for a job.

I wish I had it that good.  Canada's top bracket is substantially lower then that.

Indeed.  Canada's highest bracket is at 126k, for Quebec it's 55k.  At 127k, you'd be taxed at 53%.

WASHINGTON – House Democrats scrambling for ways to pay for overhauling health care would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to levels not seen since the 1980s, breaking one of President Barack Obama's campaign pledges.

The tax increase would be limited to the top 1.2 percent of earners — families that make more than $350,000 a year. But it would raise a total of $544 billion over the next decade, covering a little more than half the cost of the health care plan.

I fail to see how it breaks his campaign promises.  He never said there would be no tax hike for anyone, actually, I'm quite sure he said there wouldn't be tax increase for most of Americans.  1.2% of the population is not "most Americans", I think.


EDIT:
In fact, I'm looking at this site here:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

and I'm seeing this:
Repeal the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 (couples) or $200,000 (single)
And this:
Extend the Bush tax cuts for those making less than $250,000 (couples) or $200,000 (single)


I don't see how he's breaking his promise...?

Reading can be fun!

But it would break an Obama pledge that no one — including the wealthy — would pay higher taxes than they did in the 1990s. The pledge, as listed on Obama's campaign Web site, was: "No family will pay higher tax rates than they would have paid in the 1990s."

Why? I'm laughing my ass off that I escaped that communist state. In Hong Kong, the highest bracket starts at around US$200k.  Taxed at 15%.  And things like interest income, dividends, capital gains, lottery winnings etc are all exempt (it's a salary tax, not an income tax).

If I stayed in Canada, I would have been unemployed, and likely ended up living in the streets.

Shoe box > streets.

We have a social net you know. You wouldn't pay taxes too.

I'll keep that in mind.  If worst comes to worst, I'll go back to Canada and milk the social welfare system as a citizen

You work for the government.  You could have found your way into some government office.  And they do have manpower shortage in Yukon&Nunavutl.  You could have linked with your long lost cousins who emigrated from China a few thousand years ago
