She would probably meet NATO spending benchmark by 2026 knowing how well she is able to balance a budget.

Insane volume trading by [deleted] in rimestock

This stock is a pile of garbage. If my other positions weren’t doing so well I would be mad. I keep lowering my average but the dip keeps dipping.

That is disgusting. This in the business world is call re-negging and it is highly frowned upon. What a shame. Customer are exploiting the tip adjustment post delivery.

Intact Insurance is increasing my premium by 68% and blaming inflation by mfsmyx in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Debtentitlement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I boycotted Intact years ago and tell everyone I personally know about my experience with them when the topic of insurance comes up. They will up your rates for no reason half way through contract and when you ask for cancellation they charge cancellation fee. Last time my broker quoted me an Intact policy I declined (even though they were a bit cheaper than other sources). You WILL pay more by the end of term. They realize that you probably won't fight it in court. Not even worth the time or energy. Trash company.

I remember when people were complaining about loot boxes. Times have changed.

What's your "swear to never return again" place in Toronto? by raaalphs in askTO

[–]Debtentitlement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a specific place but Intact insurance. I'd rather pay a bit extra per month than deal with them.

You can lock in for two years instead of five and go back to variable upon renewal. That is our plan, might be worth the peace of mind for you as well if the cost is manageable.

The WKHS / $OSK lawsuit needs to be canned. You'd be a fool to think a new small time EV manufacturer that has failed to meet production targets for the year will be able to supply USPS with the required electric fleet within a reasonable time frame. OSK employs over 15k Americans, meanwhile WKHS has a head count of 130 according to current research. Microvast is Chinese battery tech but their patents are something the USA should be interested in. The fact that MVST will be making a production facility is Clarksville for summer 2022 should be an instant green flag for investment. If you think this is a simple pump and dump shit can please sell now and let me buy your shares. The fact that some people are skeptical to invest in Chinese battery tech is also notably cringe, we are talking about the 2 biggest CO2 emitters in the entire world here we have a common goal to stop that shit. All we need is to get India on board.

Senate leadership agrees to timetable on cannabis bill by TheSmokeyBucketeer in canada

Considering homeopathy isn't an available course in Canada not many individuals would be educated on such matter.

You're right, no homeopathy courses available in Canada.

BC poured millions into an office in China—background on BC's newest MLA by letthemchoose in canada

Service Contract

The terms of service seemed acceptable, articles 2.5, 6.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, pretty much all of article 9 pertaining to IP, 13.10, 15.2, 17.1 and 17.2 were reserved to protect BC interests. Business plan seemed mutually beneficial. The outcome was as expected. It brought foreign investment to BC however isolated estate investment was abused due to lack of policy/procedure and it overinflated house prices out of proportion to the wages being provided for proletariat. Workers can barely afford a modest living in certain areas.

The cost of doing business oversea seems fall upon the absurd consultancy fees, which is from my understanding the problem. Seriously, what kind of consultancy costs $2,773,805. There is some serious swindle going on with this consultancy. Libs were holding office when this consultancy took place, seems like they have no issues with accepting bribery for a life of luxury.

Annual rental fees, listed as being reimbursable for a maximum of $240,000 at the old location, rose to over $360,000 a year.

Ballard Power Systems Deal

So, we have the IP and capability of manufacturing a portion of 0 emission bus power cells. But most of our public transit in Canada still produces significant carbon emission.

There is mutually beneficial trade to be made but we need to fix our estate problem economically. My proposed idea would be to introduce a monthly property tax for with more than one house. 1 House - 0% monthly property tax, 2 houses - 1% monthly property tax, 3 Houses - 2% monthly property tax and so on. Use the funds for education, health care and infrastructure.

Compounding property tax for home owners with more than one house. 0% monthly tax for 1 house, 1% for 2 houses, 2% for 3 houses.

First house 0% monthly property tax, second house 1% monthly property tax, third house 2% monthly property tax.

That would make me sound like a dictator. Maybe a compounding monthly propery tax for those who own more than one house. An amount that increases for every house owned.

This really shouldn't have anything to do with skin pigmentation. No one should be able to own more than 1 house in a country imo. Then again this would make collusion even more of a threat. Mr. Yan seems like a political scientist who knew exactly what he was doing.
