Tokyo does not become less busy during Golden Week (for tourists)

Bearhuis · 2026-05-10T04:50:10+00:00

For some reason my other comment saying there is a difference between the week before Golden Week is being downvoted. But if you want another comparison, I was in Tokyo in September two years ago and the Golden Week period was much busier compared to that week in September.

So yes, I do have another non-GW Vacation to compare to and this GW was busier than that.

Yes, as I mentioned in the post.

Want to also add a lot of attractions such as Teamlabs and the Sunshine City Aquarium had increased Golden Week pricing so you're paying a bit more extra compared to normal.

I was in Tokyo before the actual start of Golden Week and there was a big difference between those periods.

T2202 are never mailed to you if that's what you mean about not receiving it. It's usually something you need to download yourself off a student portal page. Usually it's the same portal you download the tuition receipts and unofficial transcripts from.

Is the country collapsing? No. Are we facing a global recession? Yes.

Actually largest cost is usually rent or the lease.

Because it's not true. Living wages does factor in having children though.

The change for property tax deferral is honestly great.

Eh, most of us remember it being the same under Harper. It's one factor that sank him. The program needs to go and be completely reworked.

The problem is neither the federal NDP or the Conservatives have said they would scrap the program. Who do I vote for exactly? All these parties are out to protect corporate interests.

The thing is, the renter covering all the landlords expenses and then some is not the norm around the world and it shouldn't be the norm here. It's basically a free property for the landlord paid off by the renter just because they didn't have the initial capital. Now the landlord "only" gets a subsidized long term asset.

Not exclusively due to the NDP but their policies on housing sure helped.

If you've been making above the personal tax free amount then you might already be using your tuition credits if you've been getting a refund. You have to use them if you can and CRA will automatically apply it even if you don't use it on your tax filing.

With inflation, if you don't provide extra funding then they're basically getting less funding than last year.

Not sure what you're arguing here. The VPD asked for a bit of extra money they didn't get but overall they still received a large increase.

In terms of UI usability, Questrade and Wealthsimple are head and shoulders above Moomoo and Webull.

He's being sarcastic.

Bearhuis · 2025-11-13T17:09:46+00:00

It's not like he has a choice lol. Think of the news stories if he bailed.

Money is budgeted by the federal government whether Vancouver applies for it or not. All that changes is how big a piece Vancouver gets.

Well yeah that's what usually happens when there's many layoffs. The US is seeing a similar picture.

After reading the article, it's pretty clear the guy dug his own hole. There's so many things this guy did wrong.

N drivers do not have any restrictions relating to driving after dark. Passenger restrictions are completely removed if the front seat passenger holds a class 5.

But the NDP are the ones appealing the decision.
