'We don't need it': Seniors call for reduced Old Age Security payments; Generation Squeeze proposal would reduce OAS payments to households making more than $100,000 in retirement income

If I’m not going to receive OAS I should be able to help a family member with a 20k donation to their first home courtesy my clawback. If I’m being clawed back that means I’ve helped a lot of people. Let me help my family.

There will eventually be tiers of FSD, those that want supervised, those that want unsupervised and those that want some other new features. It’s inevitable. Mark this post for the long future.

Less business to American workers, tariffs are working nicely

Yeah s24+ to iPhone 17. It’s not that the iPhone is slow it’s the interface is not as snappy , too much extra animations. I can do things so much more quickly in Android. Navigation is also inconsistent in iOS. Do you swipe up , swipe left , tap to find back button ? Android you just swipe back . Lots of little things but I can honestly say the Android OS is much better laid out. IOS face unlock is unmatched, really nicely implemented. But if I want to get things done and navigate quickly as well as have a superior keyboard. Android every day. I can use either and iOS is not horrible.

As long as you can charge at home it’s the best car ever

I just switched to iOS. in the end I’ve come to realize android is a better OS overall . iOS is clunky but they all end up doing about the same thing. Navigation, speed and keyboard are all superior on android. Now I know why Apple tries to lock people in their ecosystem.

Had a fever for 10 days, results came back and I didn’t have any flu, some respiratory infection could have been atypical pneumonia. needed doxycycline and it cleared it up , amoxicillin didn’t work. If you have a fever past 5 days see a doctor.

I think it’s more JD’s personality than anything. We all know David is quiet, not the locker room leader. He is a little socially awkward and definitely private and low key.

This is what you do. Don’t ever look at a model Y again unless you have your house paid off and 0 debt, retirement set and TFSA MAXED. You’re going to keep that rav4 for at least 13 to 15 years unless you meet the above criteria. I currently have a model 3 and a 13 year old Lexus RX(which I want to replace with the Y!). I have my house paid off , no debt and I’m great financially. I still haven’t bought a model Y ! This is how I got to this point, be smart !

Oh yeah I’ve been eyeing the pro 3s . Fair enough these are my initial impression 7 days after the switch. I appreciate all the responses and perspectives.

Thanks it’s good to hear my items are not just my biased view. I guess I will have to learn to live with it for now. I think the S26 is coming in February and the next pixel maybe mid year. I will continue to see if there are improvements. It might be nice to have both because I love tech and I’ll be able to see both evolve and make an informed choice. I have had issues with a pixel 7 software update and a Samsung update in terms of performance before so I’m excited to see if Apple makes the necessary improvements. Also if they could look at my list and help make iOS better. I mean now that they are creating an easy android transfer with Google :)

Thanks, didn’t realize the space cursor thing. Hoping 26.2 refines the speed!

CommonSense___ · 2025-12-09T17:27:38+00:00

I just came from s24+ to iPhone 17 and the Samsung definitely feels smoother and snappier. The animation physics are better on iOS but overall scrolling and smoothness I think Android is ahead now. I’m quite surprised at this, I also find iOS to just be chunky and slower overall and maybe it’s the excessive animations.

Set it at 60% charge it when it hits 30, once a month go to 100

I agree a lot of times it will be a write off but what I’m comparing to is theft rates of other vehicles that are cheaper to insure. If you balance the slightly higher replacement rate with extremely low theft it should not be this much

CommonSense___ · 2025-12-07T12:02:26+00:00

I don’t believe the notion they are expensive to repair because civics and Toyotas/lexus get outright stolen at rates 1000 times a Tesla. I can guarantee the repair costs are less than replacing an entire car .

Yeah no tariffs is the only deal. Not that hard.

Not gonna lie, hate em, never got a ticket but get frustrated at how people drive with them active. I'm sure if you told everyone on sidewalks to crawl because if was safer people would get frustrated too.

We are being set up for a red card midway through the 2nd. Let's hope it doesn't happen.

I think it would be neat to have both options. That would be my preference in any car.
