    If you got 750 miles on 17 to tbay, the province must’ve moved the hwy since Tuesday by 110 miles. Cuz it’s much closer to 870 miles via 17

    Just tell them thats perfectly fine, as long as they pay you the same rate per mile in U.S. dollars instead of Canadian dollars.

    1 air mile = 1.15 road miles
    1 U.S. dollar = 1.31 Canadian.
    Thats a fair trade-off. :)

    I would tell them that if they're paying air miles, then I'm going to work bankers hours. Start driving at 10:AM, and finish driving at 4:pM.

    Would you be so kind as to link to a code section that backs up your legal assessment? Since I can't prove a negative I would greatly appreciate it if you would show this to me by actual code OR court precedent with a link to the case! I understand the OP is in Canada. I am speaking to the US only.

    Why should he provide US precedent for you when they're talking about Canadian law. And I would guess both of these folks are Canadian since @'88K100 wrote "Labour". That's not how we spell "Labor" down where I'm from.

    Because I am positive OVER 90% of the people that post on TTR are from the US. In cases where we are discussing law and rules, it is IMPERATIVE that you articulate plainly the area you are discussing when you make a legal assessment as that person did. If I took the time to run down old threads I bet I could find maybe a hundred threads where this was confusing. Just like you can create the biggest mess imaginable by getting cousins confused doing genealogical research, you can make a royal mess by confusing rules and laws across national borders. IF post #30 had read "In Canada that is not legal" I would not have made post # 35. Also, making assumptions based on word spellings can get you in trouble. Before his death several years ago I had a good friend I come to know when we were working together doing "repo" work. He spelled labor Labour and called "toe-may-tos" "to-ma-toes", in fact, we always made fun of him with good-natured ribbing for doing that. This was because he was born in the UK and went to school there but lived most of his life in the US. I don't think it is unreasonable to be clear about WHERE you are discussing when you make a legal assessment IF you are referring to another country.
