Bieber gives my hometown a bad rep. He's had some seriously dumbass quotes in the media about Stratford. I hope some media outlet picks up the story that he's a bratty racist little asshole...

Wikipedia is pretty good at this kind of thing. Canadian dollar banknotes issued by the Bank of Canada are legal tender in Canada. However, commercial transactions may legally be settled in any manner agreed by the parties involved. Legal tender of Canadian coinage is governed by the Currency Act which sets out limits of: $40 if the denomination is $2 or greater but does not exceed $10; $25 if the denomination is $1; $10 if the denomination is 10¢ or greater but less than $1; $5 if the denomination is 5¢; 25¢ if the denomination is 1¢. Retailers in Canada may refuse bank notes without breaking the law. According to legal guidelines, the method of payment has to be mutually agreed upon by the parties involved with the transactions. For example, convenience stores may refuse $100 bank notes if they feel that would put them at risk of being counterfeit victims; however, official policy suggests that the retailers should evaluate the impact of that approach. In the case that no mutually acceptable form of payment can be found for the tender, the parties involved should seek legal advice.

Geez, if I went to this much trouble everytime I got poor service at a business I'd have no time for anything else.

What an awful reporter this guy is. Pass the buck...

Bradm, I was more talking to your use of the word 'perceived', but point taken, yes.

Epitome of weaksauce, that first post.

Brad, how do you know the coffee joint's reasoning for doing anything? Just go to another coffee place. Why support a place that treats you badly?

Legally they don't have to accept more that 25 pennies in one transaction. I think (but am not sure) businesses can make their own policies on this too. Doubt the server knew that, but that's the law there. Dumb to refuse business though.

Also, Armstrong has a documented history of made-up-stuff, while as far as I know this other person doesn't and is just refuting a rumour, not starting a new one.

Here's a legal and free download of a compliation record created for Kelp Records' 16th anniversary. Lots of good tracks here. Ottawa represent. http://kelprecords.bandcamp.com/

hmm. that's a bit different.

Don't enjoy the majority of the band's work, but I did enjoy your letter Sean. Well done.

I'm going to NYC for 4 days to get drunk!
