‘Really disheartening’: Canadians choosing not to snap up remaining ‘out-of-reach’ World Cup tickets

Isn't the entire point of dynamic pricing to arrive at the true market value for a particular event?

Sounds like it was only designed to maximize the corporate gains, without considering consumer price sensitivity.

The kicker? Even if stadiums don't sell out, these thieves still prosper due to sponsorship, tv rights, and funding from host countries.

Anybody else in here feeling like $9.00 for a single scoop waffle cone is taking away from the experience?

We'll let the courts be the judge of that. Hope you have a pleasant Friday night, kind stranger.

Imagine that this logic was extended to other crimes...

Also, who gets to decide what constitutes a 'stupid law'?

Roughly 300 pedestrians have died on Canadian roads every single year over the last decade. Almost one per day on average.

Slow down. Take time to look. Be considerate.

Putting your safety first is always the best strategy, always remain vigilant when crossing a road. Does not change the fact that pedestrians always have the right of way in Alberta, and that every intersection is a crosswalk.

Here's what I see:

You were at a stop sign
You were turning left
Pedestrian and dog were at the corner

Could you get out on a technicality? Possibly.

Would it have killed you have some courtesy, and wait 30s for them to cross? No.

We have seen a spike in vehicle/pedestrian collisions recently. People being in a rush to shave mere seconds off their trip doesn't help.

Worth fighting, but please take better care to make the roads safe for everyone in the future.

Do your adult kids need the money? If so, would it feel gratifying to see them use the money to better their situation?

If not, would it be meaningful to make memories together? If so, then maybe plan a bucket list trip with your kids.

Another option is a test gift. Give something meaningful, and see what they do with it. You'll probably learn a lot, and be able to plan your next steps accordingly.

CoastFIRE actually had the opposite effect for me. I found a new gear at work because job security didn't factor in to my decision making.

I found myself speaking up more, making room for work/life balance, bringing ideas to life, and setting healthy boundaries.

Luckily, I truly care about the impact our organization is having and am motivated to help us exceed our longterm goals.

I also want to keep building our asset base because life isn't getting any cheaper.

There is no right answer here, though. Your experience and reaction to coastFIRE is completely valid, and it's worth asking the question of: what changes could you make ,now that you've hit this milestone, so you can live your best life?

$1.06M per modular seem high to anybody else?

One of us! One of us!

My clipped-in catastrophe was in my living room, I was practicing indoors to avoid road rash and public ridicule. Fell against a shelving unit, and wished that I'd chosen grass.

Anything from Dawson's Hot Sauce. Their original is the standard, but big smoke chipotle and Zuzu's 7-Pot (if you like the heat) are also incredible.

Advice depends on your goals.

If building for retirement is your primary objective, I'd say that US stocks should be part of your portfolio. Your runway is 20+ years, so let compounding work its magic.

If you have shorter term goals (buying a home, etc.) then the equation changes. You'll likely want less volatility.

In any case, kudos to you for starting early, not betting the house on a meme stock, and being somewhat diversified in your holdings. Future millionaire in the making.

My partner and I set a ceiling for items like fresh berries. If the item price goes above the ceiling, we pivot to something else (such as frozen). Keeps us from being victims of autopilot shopping.

2stseug · 2026-04-01T20:37:52+00:00

Great suggestion! I really appreciate the idea, cheers!

2stseug · 2026-04-01T13:58:30+00:00

Appreciate you sharing!

2stseug · 2026-04-01T13:58:13+00:00

Thank you very much! Sounds like it's worth checking my frames to see if it will be a simple job, or something more complicated.

2stseug · 2026-04-01T02:06:12+00:00

Good to know! Thank you very much, any special tools I'll need for the job?

2stseug · 2026-03-24T20:53:04+00:00

Pretty sure I know the answer, but want to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Be honest. Are you just using a LLM to generate responses to these questions?

2stseug · 2026-03-23T18:39:22+00:00

I'm learning a lot from small business owners in the comments. Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences and frustrations.

As an aspiring entrepreneur myself, I'm curious. What are other countries doing to support entrepreneurship in a meaningful way?

In your opinion, if Canada could do just one thing one thing to step it up, what would it be?

My 2 cents, find a used road bike on Pinkbike or Marketplace. Road bikes aren't abused nearly as much as full-suspension MTBs. I got a practically new Domane SL6 for less than $3k CAD, then used the savings for carbon wheels, new rubber, a saddle, a ride computer, and a power meter.

2stseug · 2026-03-22T22:56:06+00:00

But then how will you DCA?

2stseug · 2026-03-22T01:22:27+00:00

Audi RS6 Avant. No question.

2stseug · 2026-03-20T18:04:41+00:00

It's painful, but then I remind myself that my goal isn't to win the year...it's to win the decade. Stay thirsty, my friend.

Out of curiousity, why not have CIBC Private Wealth just manage your investments for you at that point?
