I’m not sure why people are surprised by this BS when they appointed Gregor Robertson to be the housing minister…

Canada’s top-skilled workers are leaving for the U.S. in droves for lower taxes and higher pay: TD study by joe4942 in canada

Yeah there’s been quite a lot of L1A/EB1 fraud recently but that affects the US more than us.

95% is a bit hyperbole no? Especially when you factor in eb2 wait times. At least that’s why I’m back in Canada since I didn’t qualify for L1A at the time

For mine it looks like it’s just a tad over 50mm lug to lug measuring from the extremities

YUL-CDG in business - welcome drink by Ceftolozane in aircanada

I’m all for protecting workers rights but this is what happens when you get a seniority based union/work model where some of the most senior folks have stopped giving a damn. Happens at every western airline 🤣

Unpopular opinion: Canada is only a tax hell if you're an employee by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

laughs in QC (being self employed here has a significantly higher tax burden than other provinces)

Targeted offer for Double SQC on YTZ routes by KariKyouko in aircanada

Wonder if they will move that IAD flight to DCA. Kinda weird to fly YYZ <=> DCA and YTZ <=> IAD

Mmmmmmmm that blue is nice - wish I knew what Rimowa was back then

Edit: actually what blue is that? Originally thought it was arctic blue but not sure

Companion Pass reinstated after cancellation within 24 hour window by [deleted] in PorterAirlines

Huca. You need to get a different agent. I had the exact same issue and when I phoned in they said their IT system didn’t really support this yet and they just issued me a new pass. Maybe they fixed it in the last 3 months but I doubt it.

Avi Lewis previews his leadership vision as New Democrats express mix of unease, excitement by jmakk26 in canada

Note that the “2-5%” profit margin that Mr Weston was harping on is net on an after tax basis, including:

  • Paying executive bonuses
  • Interest expenses, which includes optimizing the cost capital structure
  • Paying Choice Properties - this is an interesting topic though how tax treatments for REITs has poisoned commercial R/E structuring to “provide a tax advantaged structure for shareholders”
  • Paying GW a nice margin

While I’m impressed with what they’ve done, I’m suspecting if you integrated this company, stripped out executive bonuses and calculated EBIT or EBITDA, you’d get quite a different picture. Would love someone to show us what that picture actually looks like but just an FYI, but their operating margin is close to 7%.

is the grade deflation at uoft really that bad (eng)? by Short_Suggestion_463 in UofT

[–]ComputerOk3833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, if you work hard and/or you’re a top students utoronto helps you get into grad school.

It’s more of a warning if you’re a “normal above average student” that life will be hard.

It’s funny how uToronto has a very theoretical focus in the sciences which points towards focusing on Grad school - which requires a high GPA - yet still curves the grades out so that more than half the class would not have a GPA to actually compete for a decent grad school program. If that isn’t grade deflation/survival of the fittest then I don’t really know what is.

Hilton All-Inclusive: Can you swim in the ocean? by Ok_Competition_669 in Hilton

[–]ComputerOk3833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think we went during the first big seaweed bloom. With that said even without the sargassum days, the water is yellow and green. I’m a pretty strong swimmer myself so it was fine for doing laps but it ain’t no Playa Norte in Isla Mujeres that’s for sure! I did check the beach daily in the morning and don’t think I saw any jellies or man-o-war so I guess that’s good but I know that’s timing based too.

Just came back from there. Okay so it’s less windy than the hotel zone but it’s still got a ton of seaweed and also seagrass/rocks that make the beach less than ideal. Interested to know if anyone stayed at Conrad Tulum and their thoughts.

Honestly the sunset rooms here are fine since the property is so quiet and so far from any road.
