good to know our tax money is being well spent......... Ukraine's chief army psychiatrist arrested on $1m corruption charge Ukraine has detained its army's chief psychiatrist for alleged "illegal enrichment" charges related to earnings of more than $1m (£813,000) accrued since the start of Russia's invasion in February 2022. In a statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said the man sat on a commission deciding whether individuals were fit for military service. The SBU statement did not name him - however, a man called Oleh Druz was previously identified as the Ukrainian Armed Forces' chief psychiatrist. The SBU said he owned three apartments in or near Kyiv, one in Odesa, two plots of land and several BMW luxury cars, and investigators searching his home also found $152,000 (£124,000) and €34,000 in cash. more at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd7dvl0gn1lo

i am not sure i understand the purpose of the question. it seems you already have a mass license. what is the purpose of adding your canadian driving experience? if it is for the purpose of getting cheaper insurance due to a longer history of no claims, that is best asked of your us insurance company.

ICE does not only use ruses pretending to be local police. They also use ruses pretending to be potential employers, or even private businesses. They may drive what looks like a delivery van, wear a fake uniform, or carry ladders, clipboards, and other props. They may intentionally be vague about who they are. Ruses are not only an in-person tactic. ICE agents also use phone ruses as a way to locate their target. Through conducting their surveillance, ICE agents may obtain the phone number of the person they have targeted but not know where to physically find them. Ruses that ICE has used over the phone include pretending: to be local police and asking you to answer a few questions for them to be local police asking you to meet them because you are the suspect in a criminal case they found your lost ID and need to arrange a time and place for you to pick it up to be calling from a local District Attorney office wanting to arrange a time and place to meet you to call from a local court confirming an upcoming court date or asking for your updated contact information https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/ice-ruses/#8-what-kinds-of-ruses-does-ice-use Story 1255 [CM], Brooklyn, NY, January 2019
