Alimony In Canada

Protest the Hero

Arif: I think it's actually quite the opposite. The new stuff is a lot more technical, there's more of an intelligence behind the songwriting. But, I think a lot of the early material, we were just really young and enthusiastic so we'd try all kinds of wacky tempos and key changes and things that aren't exactly intelligible. So, when we try and go back and play them now it can be somewhat challenging because you have to get five guys to be really on point and just sort of intuiting where the next beat is going to be falling or where the next note is going to be coming from whereas now there's actually a rhyme and a reason for why we're doing some of those technical things. So, while it is more challenging it's a bit easier to play. Arif: I was in there for about three hours...sat in the chair, played the song about three times and then I was on my way home after that. It's just hard....video shoots are all this waiting around and it's a giant waste of Canadian taxpayers money. We just elected a majority conservative government in Canada, eliminating all these grants and things that have been so kind to us and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that people see these ridiculous videos that we do and say, "Why should my hard-earned money go toward these fuckin five yahoos doing whatever the fuck they want, blowing their wads on these shitty high-budget videos --" Arif: Ah, our two guitar players work hard and toil over transcribing some of the music and writing it down and they do it all themselves, so hats off to them. And they started their own publishing company called Sheet Happens and now they're starting to transcribe for other artists including Propaghandi and Unearth and some others. I think it's probably in response to the fact that all over YouTube there's these kids playing our songs, oftentimes better than we do and they just wanted to have one definitive source that everyone can go to. And [they wanted to go out] and make a buck off it. [Laughter] Which is fine because they put a lot of time and effort into it. Please login or register to post comments.

USA Outdated alimony laws need overhaul

At the time Gringas and Scanlon married, Gringas was paying his ex-wife $39,000 a year in alimony (or spousal support, as distinct from child support). When Gringas was laid off from his job as a computer programmer, Gringas’s ex-wife agreed to modify the alimony order in light of changed circumstances. But the court held that the adjusted amount of alimony must be based on Gringas’s total household income — including Scanlon’s salary as a full-time executive assistant. My friend Theresa (not her real name) earned more than her husband during the last several years of their marriage. Theresa has sole custody of, and sole financial responsibility for their three children. Yet Theresa is required to pay her ex-husband — an able-bodied male with no child-care responsibilities — several hundred dollars a week! And she is required to do so indefinitely, despite the fact that the loss of this income ultimately hurts the children for whom she is responsible. If passed, the Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act of 2011 will allow judges to base alimony awards on the recipient’s actual need for spousal support. It will end alimony payments for long-term marriages at the age of retirement — sooner for short-term marriages. And it will require that alimony payments terminate upon the recipient’s remarriage or cohabitation. You know... while I don't disagree with the need for overhauling this wicked alimony system, I do get quite pissed at the fact it such issues have never been considerd worthy of attention unless some women get screwed up. Men have been screwed over by the same laws for much longer and still in overwhelmingly large numbers, yet, when it's just men who suffer, it is 'fine' and 'equal'. This is a implicite way to tell me right in a man's face that his well-being is off absolutely no importance and that he's only good for his money. There was also once in Canada a woman who was thrown out of her house and taken to the cleaners because she made a joke about killing her husband. Basically she got screwed over by the DV laws that screw over men for a longer time and in overwhelmingly larger numbers. Suddenly there was debate about DV laws being wrong, now a single woman got screwed over. I'll look for the link later (it should be somewhere on AM). There was also once in Canada a woman who was thrown out of her house and taken to the cleaners because she made a joke about killing her husband.
