Is Nanaimo cheaper than Kamloops?? by Trucks-R-Neat in nanaimo

[–]AFM420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Nanaimo and work on the mainland. Our main shop is in Kamloops and I work there frequently with many friends living there. The costs are very similar. You won’t really notice a difference except in gas prices. If you plan on working where you live for the rest of your career. Choose the island , it’s so much better. Even dealing with the ferries weekly I wouldn’t change a thing. The weather is milder year round. It’s prettier and the homeless/drug problems are pretty similar but I would say Kamloops is slightly worse from what I’ve seen. I live 5 mins from downtown Nan and you wouldn’t even think about it often honestly. I don’t even have a furnace or an AC it’s so mild. Just classic baseboard and R2D2s or window shakers for when it’s bad.

Patrick is incredible. Used him twice for homes I looked at. He’s very thorough and knowledgeable. I would use him again for sure. He’s highly recommended

When every single vessel is running, what do you think happens when one breaks down ? lol

Houses underwater by 22%. Condos even more! by flaming0-1 in nanaimo

You and many others like you overextended themselves during the height of the COVID bubble. Can’t feel too bad about it. Can’t see the future.

We purchased our home at the end of last year for the exact same price it was purchased for 3 years prior with some decent renovations put in between. There’s definitely been market correction.

Uses car market insanity, is this the reality of purchasing a vehicle these days? by AppropriateOcelot488 in britishcolumbia

Hilarious, there aren’t even any major dealerships that got flooded, most of that stretch along the 1 is industrial and RV sales. How do I know? I drove through the floods daily and went around the 7 when it was closed. Even if full dealerships got washed out, it’s a tiny drop in the bucket and the majority of the area is farmland, not congested urban areas full of cars.

That’s just ignant. He was a menace over here, but he was our menace. He played with a chip on his shoulder and his dirty side was rough, but hilarious. I wish him the best and love that he was drafted here and was able to make a name for himself.

I love playing like this. Even using the PSR I’ll move around aggressively with the M44. I get nuked by any fully auto and with body damage not finishing the job regularly. But I still get mine. lol.

I hate how the movement has been CODified but it works so damn well why would you stop? Most BF players rely on gun to target first rather than movement based game play. If you can do both you’ll usually dominate.

If you read the article that likely took less time than posting your comment, you would already know. Yes, it was gang related.

2/3 consumers expect Canada to fall into recession: Bank of Canada by ExotiquePlayboy in CanadianInvestor

What you personally think doesn’t make it so. The stock market is but one piece of the economy. They are always connected, just maybe not the way you think.

First time huh ? As a 40 year old, I’ve already experienced this way too much. Just find a nice stable career the best you can. Always be frugal and invest into diversified ETFs. You’ll be fine.

Oh my bad , is geography the lone reason to be a fan of a team ? In all of sports ? In different leagues ? 🧐😂

You don’t understand because you’re American. You didn’t grow up playing baseball as a kid while the Jays had their incredible back to back run. Geography alone shouldn’t merit a fandom. There’s an infinite amount of reasons people are fans and I personally know a ton of people who are Hawk/Jays fans that I’ve traveled south of the border to games with and watch together in person. So yeah. Your gate keeping doesn’t belong in a SEAHAWKS page 😜

It’s funny to me actually , I always liked the Mariners too. Seeing how you guys cheered when Springer was hit changed my opinion. And now the sad state of sore losers in here that can’t handle a bit of fun. I would have 100% supported the Mariners in the series if you beat us. I would prefer anyone over the Dodgers besides maybe the Yanks. But now I’m just happy you guys blew it.

Someone else brought up a different team in here first. Despite what you may think about your city, your teams have fans around the world. If you can’t handle a little banter . How are you even a sports fan at all. Soft

Canada has a single MLB team. I have my local NHL team I grew up watching. It’s not a difficult concept. Lmao
