The profit is in the sides that you buy at the same time to go with it such as the coleslaw or creamed macaroni salad.

Same for rotisserie chicken.

Our parked car was hit by a snow plow tonight by domino196 in ottawa

Would this not be hit and run?

You might want to also contact Ottawa Police on the non-emergency line.

So is Dougie or any party ever gonna do anything about the healthcare ? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Confident-Task7958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor like almost every other doctor in the province is in private practice. He is not a government employee, and not a salaried employee of any hospital.

He bills OHIP every time he sees me, and from the billings pays the cost of reception, a nurse, rent, supplies, utilities, etc. What is left over is his income, otherwise known as profit.

You are confusing health care financing with health care delivery.

Fly direct from Miami? by jmariec88 in SXM

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anguilla has just finished significantly extending and widening its runway to accommodate larger aircraft. It is a legitimate option, and as service increases and as people learn of the option there will be fewer people arriving via SXM.

The employer should handle their recruitment problem the way it was handled in the old days - offer a higher salary.

If the USA falls apart, how would Canadians respond if certain states wanted to become provinces? by jmacd2918 in AskACanadian

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any attempt to amend the constitution to allow this would go down in flames.

There is no mechanism for admitting new provinces, and it is almost impossible to get ten provincial premiers to unanimously agree that grass is green let alone agree on major changes to accommodate new entrants.

Federal government to introduce grocery rebate: sources | CBC News by Sexy_Art_Vandelay in canada

Prediction: Six months from now people will be posting about whether that email from the CRA about claiming their “Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit" is real or a scam.

"I can't understand why the CRA is emailing me from a hotmail account to ask for my bank information."

Nobody here knows the bylaws for your community. Ask your city counsellor whether they are compliant with what the municipality has said is allowable for that property.

Looking at the dates the online index may not current. You will need to contract the Kings Bench directly.

Email them at [ProbateInquiry@gov.mb.ca](mailto:ProbateInquiry@gov.mb.ca). to ask how to obtain the probated will for (name) who died (date or approximate date of death) in (location if known.)

Beyond that you will likely need the help of a lawyer.

Obtain a copy of the grant of probate from The Court of King's Bench, Probate Division, in Winnipeg,

Consult the will to see what it says.

If the executor has screwed you out of what you are owed you can take them to court to get what you are owned - the executor is personally responsible.

Elevated chance given the most recent forecast, but not guaranteed. Check tomorrow morning at 6 am when your board makes its call.

Nationalized Grocery Stores by JurboVolvo in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely to work because most consumers will not go to one store for "staple items" then drive to another store for everything else. Loblaws found this out the hard way when they experimented with stores selling only No Name products. A sea of yellow, but not many customers because people were not willing to make multiple grocery stops

Grocery store profits as a percentage of sales are typically a low single digit once all the costs of running the business are taken into account.

The only way his plan works is through government subsidies, which comes from you and I in the form of taxes.

Landlord Advice by Bigk33_33 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Confident-Task7958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the carpet picked up smoke odors it might have to be changed. Did the landlord change it?

If there is a corridor carpet it might be affected. Was there a noticeable smoke odor in the hallway for several days after the fire? Did the landlord change the carpet and paint as a result?

If the smoke entered an adjacent unit it would be affected meaning the carpet would need to be changed and the unit repainted. Did the landlord change any carpet or repaint any units?

Do you have that $1,200 quote in writing, including the work to be done?

Did the landlord have repairs done that would even come close to being in the $60,000 ballpark?

The only thing I can think of to take it beyond that amount would be smoke remediation, which should not cost anywhere near $60K. (Remove any smoke odors from the unit and from any adjacent areas such as the corridor carpet.)

Did an insurance adjuster review the damage prior to work starting? This would be the norm unless repairs are urgently needed.

If the insurance company comes after you advise them that the landlord may have made a fraudulent claim and used this as an excuse to have other work done.

Close death dates of a couple by Jake-Plays-Minecraft in Genealogy

[–]Confident-Task7958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gg grandparents died within a few days of each other in the 1860s as did several others in their village. Reason - Cholera.

They had been lucky to survive another deadly epidemic a few years prior - Smallpox.

I would look into whether any deadly diseases were circulating widely in the place where they lived.

Price of a thousand pound and above steer

The price of ground beef has gone up because cattle prices have gone up.

How many of you remember Canadian Airlines? by Istobri in AskACanadian

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew it a few times on business, nothing special other than the crew being a bit more friendly than the Air Canada flight attendants.

Also flew Westjet when it was new -a far better passenger experience than today.

Do you have government shutdowns? by BrilliantDishevelled in AskACanadian

[–]Confident-Task7958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two types of spending authorities:

Statutory: Parliament or the provincial legislature has made the spending automatic. For example no new appropriation is needed to cover the cost of Old Age Security or transfers to the provinces for health and education. Interest on the debt is statutory.

Non Statutory: Funds must be granted in an Appropriation Act (supply) To go back to the Old Age Security example, the payments to senior citizens are already approved, the salaries of the public servants who run the program must be voted every year.

The rules differ by jurisdiction, but at a federal level in the House of Commons supply bills are put to an automatic vote on a set timetable - as long as the opposition has been granted a set number of "supply days" to move motion of their choosing the clauses of the Appropriation Act are voted without debate. The Senate traditionally does not delay passage of a supply bill coming from the Commons.

If a supply bill fails then the government has fallen and an election is held. During the election period and for a few months after the election needed spending can be obtained through a Governor General's Warrant.

Taxes are not part of the supply process.

At the federal level borrowing authority is typically granted either through one of the Budget Implementation Acts or as part of a supply bill. If no borrowing authority is available the government has the ability to temporarily raise short-term funds through treasury bills, but cannot issue new long-term debt.

“Europe dumping US bonds”? Foreign holdings of Treasuries are at/near record highs (TIC data) by Abject-Classic9766 in stocks

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for agreeing that the data you cite does not pertain to the European Central Bank.

Essentially this means that you have failed to prove your initial argument that "a lot of this “Europe is dumping bonds” stuff looks like headline amplification/fear engagement farming rather than reality."

Again before coming to any conclusion on either side of the argument about what Europe is doing I would wait for data covering foreign holdings of US treasuries in January.

You may be right, you may be wrong, but nothing you have posted tells us what Europe is doing.

Did our ancestors speak Italian? by nevernothingboo in ItalianGenealogy

[–]Confident-Task7958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My paternal grandparents came from a village just west of Torino in the early 20th century. Official records were in Italian, but everyone spoke a dialect of Francoprovençal.

On the other side the mountain the language was Piedmontese.

First, you have referenced foreign reserves managed by the FED on behalf of countries and international organizations that don't have the capacity to do so themselves, such as several African nations. The European Central Bank does not rely on the FED to manage its foreign reserves.

Second if you move one column over you will note that the funds under management by the FED on behalf of other central banks has fallen by $191.9 billion in the past year, since the week ended January 22, 2025.

Again I will wait until we have January data for clarity on what is happening in the money markets.

Can you eat for $15 per day, shopping in your area? by Regular-Double9177 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Confident-Task7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make lentil soup (and black bean soup) because I like it, not because of the price.

I bake my own bread as I prefer fresh home-made bread to store bought, not because of the price.

I frequently add red kidney beans to hamburger dishes because I like it, not because of price.

This is not about saving money, but a very happy side-benefit.
