New Survey Lists Canada's Worst Mother's Day Gifts


Gift-giving is a cause of stress for people of all ages. But gift receiving can be just as stressful. Just ask mothers - who are experts at feigning enthusiasm when receiving poorly thought-out gifts.

Edgar, of the Edgar Law Firm in Kansas City."My clients rejected the plaintiffs' allegations and believed that all commitments made to them were honored," defense attorney Kent Sullivan said, reading a prepared statement. "However, in consultation with their insurance company, my clients concluded that their interests were best-served by settling this matter to avoid the expense and risk of continued litigation."The settlement, which calls for $5.2 million in cash and $300,000 in debt forgiveness, doesn't otherwise specify how much each of the defendants will pay.These are the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted in February 2011, on behalf of CCFC. A sample of 527 Canadian mothers was interviewed. Weighting was employed to balance demographics and ensure the sample's composition reflects Census data. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of /-4.3 percentage points.In a December deposition, Fields said he "may have" told Crede he was interested in financing his company's growth.
