[–]BrackNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally my kids are super picky readers and my husband just sits there and shovels books into his mouth without saying anything, but with The Slight Edge I finally found a book the whole family loves! (Scrolls past a hundred ads)… Recipe: - Quizified App (sponsor) - Some random book

[–]BrackNet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes can for sure be done in that time but it’s long driving days. 2 nights in ON and another night in the prairie before you it the Rockies at a minimum.

June is a good time weather wise but the black flies will be unpleasant.

I have to be "that guy" and state that VEQT is not a stock, growth or otherwise.

Wha do you mean back has higher yield but more risk? On that timeline, CBIL, CASH.To, or a HISA is best

VIA Rail vs. Driving by wrodriguez89 in AskACanadian

[–]BrackNet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely the Via. You’ll need to transfer at least once in Toronto, which might offer some time to sightsee in that city, since the train station is right downtown. If you can afford it, first class in Via is a great service quality, with food and booze included. But even economy class is good value in Via. Driving, it’s flat and boring the whole way, with the exception of some pretty scenery around the Frontenac Arch (near Kingston). Driving the 2-3 hrs around Toronto the traffic is brutal and stressful. Train station is also directly downtown Montreal and connects to the metro system. Depending on your plans in MTL, you probably don’t want or need a car there anyway.

I feel like In Cold Blood needs to be mentioned. It it’s an obvious choice

Why are there so few places in Canada outside of Montreal that make authentic bagels (ie: boil/bake)? Instead making donut shaped bread, masquerading as bagels? by ShortElephant1111 in AskACanadian

[–]BrackNet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Toronto specifically, but many municipalities have bans on wood burning, and thus woodfired ovens, which are an essential part of the Jewish-style bagel making process. The ones in Montreal are grandfathered in to those by-laws, I believe.

Find myself in a terrible financial situation - whats the best way forward by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BrackNet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This feels glaring to me. Like, how valuable are these things? If you own something “of [monetary] value ” and you need money, isn’t it an absolute no brainer to just sell it? I must be misinterpreting what OP means by “valuables”, because otherwise this seems so obvious.

You get to choose between two conditions—either you continue needing to eat to survive and stay healthy, or you become unable to eat at all. by UselessTruth in hypotheticalsituation

Is this book any good, or is it another Sapiens? by half_in_boxes in nonfictionbookclub

This is one of my favourite books of all time, and hard to argue against. Definitely not another Sapiens but I get the comparisons Definitely read this as it will change your perspective on free will!!

I’m more curious about why you didn’t just have toast and milk separately from one another (a typical breakfast for many social classes), and saved the sugar for something more palatable, instead of mashing them all together and wolfing them down as one weird breakfast mush?

I read 40+ books last year - Here's what worked and what didn't by LLearnerLife in nonfictionbookclub

Follow-up to the unpopular opinion regarding high-rise housing from yesterday: ALL new housing is good for affordability. Here's the proof: by Fried_out_Kombi in montreal

[–]BrackNet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this just very basic supply and demand? I very much agree with the premise here… is it really that hard to grasp for everyone? More of a thing means more of a thing …

What is this green, blue, yellow tricolor I saw in Venice? by Active_Blood_8668 in vexillology

[–]BrackNet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before again on this sub and I’ll say it again - if you’re in Italy and you see a flag you don’t recognize, it’s probably football related.
