Mastercard commercial

This is somewhat out of character, however this video caught our interest, because of the Spanish of course!


We sat mesmerized, not knowing what the commercial was for. We threw out a string of guesses, and were then surprised to see that it was for Mastercard!

Will you be participating in Earth Hour 2011?

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. 

Last year on March 27, 2010, a record 128 countries and territories  united across the globe making it the largest voluntary action ever witnessed.

Earth Hour is a worldwide event started by the World Wildlife Fund that rallies millions of people to show support for action on climate change. This year, after the lights come back on, residents are being challenged to think about what else they can do to make a difference and be part of a solution.

Last year, Hydro One Brampton reported a five per cent drop in power usage in Brampton, which is equal to 21.7 megawatts, or enough electricity to power 18,000 homes.

Climate change is the biggest environmental threat to life on Earth wreaking havoc with the natural systems that

regulate the earth’s climate: 

• Melting glaciers and ice caps on every continent, creating heat waves, and dehydrating forests and

wetlands

• Affecting the lives and communities of everyone on the planet

On average, every person in the world is making a footprint 50% more than what the planet actually produces per person, per year. In other words, it takes 1.5 Earths of productivity to support humanity each year, but we have

only 1 Earth!

Half our footprint is carbon from fossil fuel emissions. Canada is one of the top 10 nations contributing to global climate change. While other leading countries of the world are pioneering green energy technologies and solutions, we are holding on to an old strategy based on developing increasingly carbon-intensive forms of energy in the Arctic and the tar sands. We must value carbon more, consume less, insulate better, and hasten the switch to alternative fuels like wind, solar, tidal and hydropower. WWF-Canada is calling on business and political leaders to drive this fundamental shift. Our success will ensure that Canada is on the right path for future generations, our economy and the planet.

Guerrero Law’s employees will be participating by switching off their lights for Earth Hour at home. Antonio Guerrero has prepared his guitar to play music by candlelight for his family during that hour.

What will you be doing during Earth Hour?

New Mortgage Rules

Changes to the rules for mortgage lending received a lot of press in the past week. However, these changes won't affect most borrowers significantly.
The March 18, 2011 changes are really phase three of a gradual return to what I would call normal mortgage lending rules. In the “old days” - like 10 years ago - home buyers needed a minimum 10% down payment, they needed to pay for CMHC mortgage insurance in order to protect their lender if they had a down payment smaller than 25%, and they had to pay off the mortgage within 25 years. Even after the most recent changes, a home can be purchased with 5% down and paid for over 30 years. No wise person would amortize over more than 30 years, but you can still do that if you have made more than 20% as a down payment. If you are refinancing an existing home, you can still borrow up to 85% of its value, although down from the previous 90%. The third change – effective April 18, 2011 - is going to make lenders more cautious, because it removes the government insurance protection on home equity-backed lines of credit. These have been a fabulous business building tool for banks and credit unions, as well as a convenience for homeowners. This change simply means that the bank or credit union will have to be more careful to make sure you can repay them, because CMHC is no longer guaranteeing it.

Have you considered mediation?

Services are provided on-site at some family courts, otherwise sessions take place at the mediator's office.


Family mediation services are available to you to help you resolve child custody and access, child and spousal support, and division of property issues. Some family mediators can also help with child protection disputes, although these mediators require additional qualifications.


Contact Guerrero Law if you would like to find out more about mediation.

Happy New Year! ¡Prospero Año Nuevo!

Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!

Warm holiday greetings to everyone!

How can we go back to work when there are so many sweets to eat?

Just a sample of some of the goodies we have been busy making and eating.

Hard at work...

Some of our "office supplies".

C is for cookies and Christmas!

This post is brought to you by the letter

The cookie making season is upon us and Guerrero Law is not one to fall behind. The office will soon be full of plates of cookies to share with those around us. Why hog all the calories?!

Take a look at what's happening so far...

Baby Guerrero eating the apron instead of just wearing it.

Can you guess what kind of cookies we're making?

The base of each one of our creations.

We'll start with these as they are the easiest.

Second will be these, but I think we'll have to make double the amount since they are gobbled up quickly!

For now we'll only make 3 kinds so this will be the last.

Cakes will follow another day. One can only handle so much baking (and sampling) in one day!

Who said lawyers are boring?

A Canadian Law Firm First!

 Click here to view the flash mob.

Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., a group made primarily of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP (Blakes) articling students, and a few partners, associates and staff, performed a Flash Mob dance at the Commerce Court food court to the song "I’ve Got a Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas!
A flash mob is defined by Wikipedia as "a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse." And that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 in downtown Toronto.
The 48 dancers have been practising for weeks! At first people didn’t know what to make of the sudden music and movement, but as more Blakes dancers put on their red baseball caps and joined in, people got into the spirit of the season and many onlookers started to dance too.
The Blakes articling students first performed their dance at the Firm’s office party in Toronto on December 2, 2010. It was such a success, they decided to spread the cheer and perform it for a second time in public.
"We just wanted to have some fun," said Kari Abrams, Director of Student Recruitment & Development at the law firm. "Everybody has been working so hard, it was really great to be part of something so creative and make people smile."
