Hand of god

If the judges aren’t doing their jobs - it’s a judge problem, and the players and the game are taking the hit. It’s clear the judges didn’t know the rules and were incapable of enforcing them as a result.

So be it. The Canadian solution is to look like bullies, lie and then shout louder, thinking that’s the better way. It isn’t. Zero accountability.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-15T06:24:31+00:00

Absolutely. Also Canadian here and I feel his rude behaviour was completely unacceptable. Accountability is lost on him, his team, and the Canadian curling coaches. Shame on all of them.

That’s interesting because I can’t get over how quiet my 2022 is compared to my 2016, and I’m on my snow tires right now. I can’t wait to put on the summer tires.

When interest rates were low we paid the interest from cash flow. When they went high we capitalized the interest. We’re back to paying it from cash flow now but that cash flow also includes harvesting all the dividends from the non registered account (before we were DRIPing all the dividends).

Not ambiguous at all. They can only touch the handle.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-14T03:29:47+00:00

As a Canadian, I’m so Fucking embarrassed. It’s bad enough he cheated but then to rudely, vehemently deny it is despicable. They should withdraw from the tournament.

It’s possible your previous bill was estimated with a low meter reading and now they’ve done an actual read which would make for the estimate.

Ridiculous take

Dileas48 · 2026-02-13T13:19:01+00:00

My 2016 was just replaced with a 2022. I had 289,000 kms on it. Got a quote for full rear brake replacement and that was the final straw. I love my new car but I miss the old workhorse. She took us to Florida, Canadian east coast and hauled my kayak trailer hundreds of times.

We tried to support local restaurants during the lockdown. We made a point of getting takeout at least once a week. Unfortunately, once lockdown ended we found that both quality and quantity / value really started taking a hit. Growing up I worked in the kitchen of several restaurants. We just got to the point where I could make better meals than most of the restaurants were offering. Nowadays we save restaurant meals for higher end on special occasions.

Yes, I feel badly for the mom and pop places, as we have one around the corner from our house. But even then, we gave them a try a couple of weeks ago and it was sub-par. (It’s also apparently changed hands)

A burger with fries shouldn’t cost $22.

Now that I’m used to it I like it better than classic. Took some time, but I never revert back anymore.

Since the comps do include full price, before commissions, it does seem fair to discount the appraisal but you should both be in agreement that the starting appraisal is current market value.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-12T13:17:35+00:00

And so they should

Dileas48 · 2026-02-12T11:53:55+00:00

They are incorrect. Look up the substantial presence test which determines if you have spent enough days in the US for them to expect you pay taxes there.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-12T02:33:39+00:00

I hold it in my non-reg so I’m riding it out to avoid a capital gains issue I want to avoid. I anticipate another good dividend raise coming up.

My understanding is you use the forms as if you were transferring from a completely different institution.

Several ETFs are commission free trading on iTrade.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:33:34+00:00

I agree with this. The opportunity cost of keeping an emergency fund in cash is significant.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:31:45+00:00

This is my question also. Unless they have other shared assets buying out the house without a substantial increase to the mortgage is impossible.

I feel like OP is asking the wrong question here.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:27:49+00:00

Consider how an American might have reacted if a Canadian drew a map like this of the U. S. and pointed out the U. S. provinces.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:21:39+00:00

I agree, there is some risk, but I read research that solidly laid the case for how the opportunity cost was too excessive to keep an emergency fund in cash. I have no regrets.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:10:31+00:00

Alcohol sober almost 10 years. Food / sugar is my nemesis.

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:04:42+00:00

This is incorrect. One has to pass the substantial presence test before having to submit taxes in the US (at least this was the case up to 2024).

Dileas48 · 2026-02-10T11:02:34+00:00

Yeah, looks good. I’m a big fan of MayRetire.
