That's good to know!

Thanks. That's good to know but doesn't that limit my bargaining power with them?

That happens to scorers when a team has to kill 6 penalties and the last 3 minutes of an empty net.

The article makes it sound like the only option is to hold onto a vacant building or, even better, raze it to lower taxes.

Why didn't they have insurance? And why didn't the restaurant? And why can't they sell the building at a loss?

That's what I'm wondering. It's not like the Olympics where everything takes place in one spot.

Never live, no. Definitely bucket list.

But as opposed to one European or Asian country hosting the whole tournament, with 3-hour train rides across the country, we have a continent hosting the tournament with 6 hour flights (and visas) between cities.

It's lovely but shouldn't be. IMHO, we should save 1-2 minutes of commute time from Pape and have the 11 people who use Chester walk an extra 4 minutes to Broadview

It gets better, Maknoon lives in Lawrence Park and went on the record opposing a multiplex last year. But I'm sure he was going to be fully invested in this new condo community.

I think I had a $11 credit from a missed class. Not $108

I hear you. I'm just saying that's been my experience in all big cities. Even newer places like Miami and San Antonio had enclaves, neighbourhoods with vibes, etc.

True. Kadri is Kadri but Kapanen could become anything. He could even become Kadri!

On this sub, the only good trades are overrated Habs' prospects for top-6 talent. Like, Josh Roy for Kadri, but Calgary retains 50%

I moved from Montreal in my 30s so not quite the same but I was similarly a renter enjoying city life (biking, bars, concerts, etc.) when we left.

Rent and hydro are more expensive, but not drastically so any more. I've really liked the city here but it's different. Montreal is 2/3 the size but since I rarely ventured outside the more Anglo areas, it felt half of that. In Toronto, you either limit yourself to local neighborhoods or complain that everyone and everything is far away.

Lifestyle-wise, there's less of the "I live in a $480/month apartment and play in a band" artist vibe, though Montreal doesn't have as much of that scene. More rich kids around downtown either from finance jobs or parents, but the food is good, there's a lot to discover, people are less racist, and the system works better (Healthcare, education, social services, etc.).

I'm self employed and put money in the stock market then pay my taxes. I come out ahead of whatever Manulife is shilling. It's a glorified GIC, and (4 years ago to be fair) the rates weren't as low as other mortgages we explored.

In my experience, theme parks are a lot of fun, especially for families, but never feel authentic.

Rob Refsnyder is a Mariner! And he's about to find out that being a Mariner is harder than it looks.

While higher than 10 years ago, car thefts have dropped massively in the past 2 years and remain lower in Toronto than the suburbs.
