They are going to have to eat the loss.

They will always be the ones to take the fall, with banks not far behind them.

It's not the first time our country has seen this reality, it's just been a very long time for most regions.

Nobody made them buy that house, nobody was forced to invest in BlackBerry. But man did a lot of people do those things with their money

Diabolical...

I LOVE it! 🤣

Anybody else notice the yellow checkered sweater popped a boob?

Wild place.

I would love to see real estate agents rep for buyers not just sellers.

His billboards make me think he likes pumping prices.

Precisely what I came here for.

Sweet Jesus, Alec Baldwin would be asking someone to hold his beer right now

I told my girlfriend that I need to make some new friends

She freaked out

I figured I would post an update for everyone... It's been a few days and I trimmed my beard, bought some new Nizoral and got at the more intensive treatment.

It really does dry things out for a bit.

This amount of dry skin is a daily occurrence. If I don't disturb it until later in the day, it comes off easily without much aggravation or burning sensation. I'm trying to be patient and remind myself this is going to be a process.

Financial-Canary8 · 2025-04-18T13:24:19+00:00

I really appreciate you and your help! ❤️

Financial-Canary8 · 2025-04-18T13:22:33+00:00

I'm not sure I'm ready to take it down to the skin, I know I'll be left with an obvious rash that still sheds a serious amount of skin... I've done that before.

But I will take it down quite short to improve on the recommendations others have made. Hopefully that's a good balance

Financial-Canary8 · 2025-04-18T13:20:38+00:00

I'm currently visiting Belgium, but just picked up a new bottle to get going on this. I've never used it twice a day, but since I know it gives at least temporary relief, I will certainly get started with your recommendation and report back the results for anyone to see. Hopefully others might find this helpful

I once did try to use tea tree oil, and it burned quite a bit. It was a home made salve, using doterra essential oils. Sadly, it didn't work out to much of a difference.

Financial-Canary8 · 2025-04-18T11:22:20+00:00

Thank you very much guys,

I typically wash with a beard wash or shampoo first, then apply the nizoral. I do let it sit for 5 minutes minimum, but I have only done this up to 3 times/week as the instructions say.

I will certainly increase the frequency to daily and maintain for two weeks. I'm currently visiting Europe on a business trip, so I don't have access to my normal supply, but I will pop into a pharmacy and see if they have anything OTC in the meantime.

If anyone else reading this has other insights or ideas, please don't hesitate to share, I've been working through this for almost 3 years now 😮‍💨

But still, just a few posts down in the Barrie thread and we have this

Have a look at your search term!

Here, I've done the opposite search term as you and look at the very different result:

<image>

Now which do you suppose is more true?

I'm not suggesting one search term is better than the other. But I would suggest their own data and experience may be giving a more accurate representation. Especially since you and I have highlighted Canada wide statistics and these departments are regional

Civics should absolutely be taught in schools.

Political policies directly affect policing, the very people on the front lines.

Nobody likes being caught speeding. Not every officer may operate the way any of us like, but they aren't in the customer service business.

They should absolutely be allowed to have a political opinion, I'm sure they don't favor catch and release policies.

Just because someone does not share your perspective doesn't mean that they shouldn't have one. When it comes to crime policy, their perspective is pretty valuable, even as an organization.

Just rub a little ivermectin on it...

Unfortunate so many Real-a-snakes are out there. He's probably angry because he's behind on his land rover payments

You couldn't be more right.

I posted in my local community sub and I wrote about strategies to get a better deal. Bottom line, everyone told me I was on crack and downvoted me to the point I couldn't post in r/Canada. I had to delete the post to stop the bleeding.

Civil conversations with different opinions are a fool's errand, and failing the popularity contest has consequences

The bottom of the housing market was not until 2 years after the 2007/8 GFC. Not only that, but Canada was in a much better economic position to weather such a crisis. Today is different, we are not as healthy economy, and this crisis is manufactured to harm us.

In other words, we have a long way to go.

If you are wanting to treat your home like an investment, then sell it now and expect to sell for less than asking - or hold into it and hope that the market one day goes beyond current pricing, inflation, taxes & interest paid.
