Heartstrings, Metes, and Bounds

Image result for michelin baby advertisement



This is an advertisement that clearly uses pathos as a method of persuasion. Pulling on our heartstrings with a baby is almost always an example of pathos. The large text is definitely pathos. The small text is more of a logical appeal however. It talks about the construction of the tires and talks about how although their tires are more expensive to buy, they last longer and are cheaper to own. There is also an appeal to ethos in the first part of the small text. They talk about how tires are their only focus, and they use only the best materials and only release them after huge amounts of testing. All that said, the main appeal is that of pathos.

Lutz v. Kawa (1980) 15 R.P.R. 40 This case is important because of the views it sets out on adverse possession, and on when the period of limitations starts outside of the condition of outright sale. It contradicts several previous cases slightly which upon review of previous precedent appear to not have followed that precedent.


All that certain lot, piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in the Township of Hawkesbury, County of Prescott in the Province of Ontario, being more particularly described as follows:

Beginning at the center of the one inch square iron bar lying in a southwesterly direction along the bearing S16°51'30"W a distance of 13.06 feet from the road allowance between concessions 6 and 7 near the telephone pole with a guy wire; Thence in a northwesterly direction along the bearing N67°29'30"W a distance of 199.00 feet to the center of the 5/8 inch square iron bar; Thence continuing in a southwesterly direction along the bearing S16°51'30"W a distance of 220.00 feet to the center of the 5/8 inch square iron bar; Thence in a southeasterly direction along the bearing S67°29'30"E a distance of 209.00 feet to the center of the 5/8 inch square iron bar on the boundary with Lot 25; Thence following the post and wire fence along the boundary with Lot 25 in a northeasterly direction along the bearing N16°51'30"E a distance of 220.00 feet to an unmarked point along the boundary with Lot 25; Thence in a northwesterly direction along the bearing N67°29'30"W a distance of 10.00 feet to the place of beginning.
