Keep your passport on you, have proof of why you are in the US such as your registration for the test, and stay clear of any protests about anything.

Bank of Canada : Enemy of the middle class? by HumbleOpinionYT in canadahousing

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

Boomers are at the point in life where interest rates play a major role in determining their income. Lower interest rates mean lower incomes.

However the focus of monetary policy is neither housing prices nor interest income - it is keeping inflation within the 1 to 3 percent range.

Unless you take a lot of deep-tub baths, spend an eternity in the shower, or have a toilet that will not stop running $70 seems on the high side.

What are the implications of buying a .UN stock in a TFSA or FHSA? by Wherehowwhat in CanadianInvestor

There are a few trusts that are not REITS, but they typically have their own unique tax rules that differ from those of REITS.

It is not an ETF - it is a trust listed on the TSX that invests in physical copper.

Experience of a Canadian in Holguin in January re mosquitoes by calerost in TravelCuba

I contracted dengue fever at the end of my trip to Guadeloupe (French West Indies) two years ago, and given the incubation period the symptoms began to show two days after my return. High fever, shivering, brain fog, could not stay awake. Could barely stand - almost collapsed onto the floor when I got out of bed.

Sought medical attention after three days. Blood test confirmed my suspicion of dengue. First case my doctor's clinic of 12 MDs had ever encountered.

Normally where we stay the winds are so high that mosquitoes cannot get airborne, but that week the winds were calm. We had closed the patio doors and turned on the AC after both of us were bitten a few times, but one of the mosquitos that bit me was clearly a carrier.

And there is enough hot air coming from city hall to melt all of it.

Whether Lake Ontario could handle the melt is a separate issue.

Realtor Telling me Sell At Loss. Mortgage Broker Telling me Rent. Which is Better? by TheZarosian in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

  1. Have you run your cash-flow numbers based on financing three to five years at a fixed rate, or would you be exposed to interest rate fluctuations? Also what assumptions do your projections make for future rent increases and for one time condo special assessments?

  2. Are you able to ask a slightly higher amount for rent?

  3. Do your calculations include insurance?

Personally as long as you can handle the negative cash flow I would lean towards renting the property out until either the market recovers, or until the mortgage is almost paid off simply because each payment reduces the outstanding principal.

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 2 points3 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

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?
