Well this is current and has been for a long time

My opinion, it is a scam

Can you explain this 'eerie' job ad?

Like so many of those ads that offer work and when you apply you find that it costs you money, you have to pay a fee to get a look in, so let's think about scams for a while

There are the nigerian letters, hey I'd like $100 for every one I've received, it would be big money
Then there are the phone scammers selling everything from speeding up your computer to advertising and of course there are the diet pill scammers and the stock tipsters and the multi-level marketteers

Must be a slow news day in aussieland.

You betcha !

No It's a slow day everywhere, the anti-climax of the US elections is over and on the home front a rebel senator is holding the government and her own party to ransome over military pay scales, Amazon and other multi-nationals will be backed to the wall over tax evasion and Brisbane hunkers down for the G20 with a free trade deal with China on the side lines. The slow day is actually right here on AMHD where traffic has slowed to a crawl and this thread is my way of building up some trade. Right now we have four threads that have any content less than two weeks old

It's just a website. Plenty others. The real world is outdoors.

That's right and the world is beautiful, a riot of colour in my garden right now

Haha, sometimes I forget that we are opposites concerning seasons.

Yes, and I am kayaking today in the great outdoors ! Hot soup will be welcome when I come back.

Kudos to you. Fresh air is good for the spirit.

No shortage of it here and no concerns about power stations and I expect there is no shortage of fresh air in the far north

NeedKarma · Nov 8, 2014, 04:39 AM

Well I wouldn't say tickle and I are anywhere near the far north. It's a 30 minute drive for me to the US border. But you're right, the great outdoors is right outside our door. Having said that I'm off to tennis in an indoor club :-).

paraclete · Nov 8, 2014, 05:53 AM

Tennis indoors, I play squash indoors or I used to. Anywhere where it snows the way it does there is far north, I would see maybe two days snow in a year and that's on the mountains and I live in a place that is regarded as cold. You may measure your latitude based on the US border but I hear the habitable parts of your country aren't more than a hundred miles wide, how far is it to the artic circle? I met a countryman of yours who told me he could only plant a crop on one day of the year

tickle · Nov 8, 2014, 07:08 AM

We have very warm spring and summers starting in April. Planting is usually May in Ontario and Quebec. We are enjoying a moderate mild November right now, awaiting the usual heavy snow coming soon which will last only until March.

Why don't you take a peak at a map of North America and judge the distance to the arctic circle from the Great Lakes.

Habitable parts are completely right across Canada from British Columbia to the Maritimes.

I don't know much about your country except what I've been told, I know it's large and there isn't much population above Edmonton but I don't have a sense of distance as it relates to that part of the world but the word "across" you used gives me a sense of a band extending from ocean to ocean
