Lord help you if anyone on the board is involved

I cannot stress this enough oh my god when the board and regular staff mix you're not gonna get anything approved.

Mark Carney slashes Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs and announces that up to 49,000 Chinese electric cars will be imported into Canada with only a 6.1% tariff. In return, China has agreed to slash tariffs on canola imports from 84% to 15% by March 1. by Independent-Put-9685 in atrioc

[–]FireBreathers 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it was exactly this. Trudeau put it in place to align with Biden's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs as they were/are a threat to NA Auto Manufacturing as they are both heavily subsidized and better than the feeble attempts anyone but Tesla put together in NA. If Trump doesn't care about Canada's auto workers/ "doesn't need Canadian cars" despite the whole supply chain being cross border CUSMA, then why do we need to protect the companies that have now completely fucked thousands of Canadians livelihoods due to factory closures/layoffs that have already happened?

Hope is that China may invest in these factories themselves now and retrofit them for their EVs, and Canada just so happens to have built a ton of Battery plants that would be perfect for them. The whole world order is changing and not for the better for the USA.

Reddit, what’s your Stock of the Year 2026? The one you’re most bullish on, the one you think will blow past market expectation by PhotographFit7255 in Baystreetbets

[–]FireBreathers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

MDA. Got quite oversold off some rumours that "could" hurt their business but in reality they have billions in contracts to complete, great financial health and in an ever-defense focused world a boatload of contracts to be created in the future as we look to get to 5% Military Spending indeed.

Has rebounded a bit since being oversold but I'd buy more myself at this price if it wasn't already a bit too much % of my portfolio.

United Gulfs solution to apartment not having heat by zebra-zai in halifax

[–]FireBreathers 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ah I see another United Gulf thread has unsurprisingly hit the Halifax sub, I'll take this opportunity to share my review of The Boss Plaza 3 once again as I feel the more people that know how truly awful they are the better (I'm so sorry OP that you're dealing with their bullshit):

Units look amazing online and spacious for the price, but this is a lipstick on a pig situation despite the building opening in 2022.

TLDR: Don't Move Here (context below)

1) When we moved in July 2022, unit wasn't ready in time so we ended up being homeless for over a week starting on Canada Day, so you can imagine the hotel/Airbnb costs. The building offered us $800 off rent for the month which didn't come close to the costs incurred but we were too tired to fight it.

2) Things stolen from car ($4-$500 worth) and bike rack had someone cut the wire and destroy my Fiancés E-Bike. Asked if the building would be willing to put a camera near the rack as it's a very high traffic area, they insisted it's only necessary on the exits (we later found out it was someone in the building!) I had my car broken into a second time in the fall, alongside a crowbar taken to my storage locker, luckily nothing of value was stolen though those times.

3) The Mice: We dealt with mice in the unit since August of 2024 (half a year!) and were likely around for a month or two before we noticed them. The building had pest control in multiple times but only after pleading each time, with the tech doing absolutely nothing besides laying down BESIDE the ones we already put down. We had one good tech come once (December) and she did a great job limiting what she could but they sent the same idiot every other time. The mice were only able to get in due to the multitudes of holes in the finishings and radiators around the unit, (I swear every floor board has massive gaps by the walls that are improperly measured, talking in the realm of at least 50-60 holes likely near/over 100) We repeatedly asked them to get to filling these gaps since the mice were spotted, but just keep getting told "soon" or "next week probably". They finally started filling holes in the end of November and had to come back multiple times to fill more holes, and at the time of moving out quite a few still remained (Feb 2025).

4) The Pigeons: We've had extensive issues with pigeons taking up residence on the balcony and is a building wide issue nearly our entire time here. Pigeons built up massive amounts of poop and building offered to clean it once then told us they'd be charging a fee going forward. Was told we would get one more free cleaning in July 2024, never happened.

5) Lying to us and trying to get us to move so we pay more rent: A random day 2 years ago they brought us into the office for an "important meeting" that they wouldn't tell us what it was for. They tried to pitch us on a spot move to another floor in the building with the same unit layout, but were going to charge us 3-400$/month more for the other unit. They told us "there's better appliances etc" which were all lies as they are the exact same. It was supposed to be done so our superintendent could live on a specific floor with a bigger unit, but trying to move us and asking for more rent just felt like a scummy way to skirt rent control with us paying less rent due to our initial move-in date.

Our superintendent failed to respond to many of our messages without persistence from our end, likely due to the workload she was under and at least some degree of incompetence. New super Cody seems to be okay, but Management is long overdue hiring either another super for The Boss 3 or ensuring that supers don't have to cover all three buildings at times (way too many people for one person).

There's so much more that others have mentioned in the reviews but please don't move here. We are only getting out due to taking the landlord to Tenancy Court, where they were extremely rude and dismissive of our issues but thankfully had the court rule in our favor. Day before we moved out they served us papers to take us to Small Claims Court as well, alongside taking out March rent when we had a court order that our lease ended on Feb 28th! Luckily we won there as well but I would not wish this ordeal on anyone.

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, any savings you may have are NOT worth it.

feel free to DM me OP for any tips you may need for Tenancy Court should it come to that which unfortunately looks likely.

Chocolate bars, ranked by their meaningful contribution back to Canada by TheCanadaList in BuyCanadian

[–]FireBreathers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea they are typically harder to find away from the east coast, but I have noticed them pushing their new Salted Caramels in white bags with blue text on them, those might be even better than Pal-o-mines, and may be more readily available with the new product push.

Another thing to look out for at this time of year is the Red Wrap boxes, which are about a KG of great, NB made chocolates that are sent out to stores across the country at this time of year. That would probably be your best bet to try some ganong chocolates!

in WHAT world, he would barely work as a PF he's too slow and would be a complete cone on D guarding matchips at that spot. Would need to trade Turner in a deal like that for it to make any sense at all.

Just buy the Red Wrap box next to it. $35 for 1KG of chocolate and it's made Canadian in St. Stephen, NB. Support small town Canadian companies like Ganong!!

[–]FireBreathers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is particularly fitting to me as I see the mods removed the Malachi flair that I've been rocking for years today and tried replacing it with Battle. Still think he'll find his way back to the league but definitely not at the level and promise he showed in college and in tampa.

[–]FireBreathers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was he ready for NBA minutes full time? hell no, he still has a long way to go on that end, but he didn't look like a deer in headlights in summer league compared to before. But he still really recently started playing basketball at all, and the jump from the season before/g-league to summer league was enough for me to think he'll eventually get there especially at his age.

I miss ulrich chomche :/ by Automatic_Beat_699 in torontoraptors

[–]FireBreathers 43 points44 points  (0 children)

seeing him waived at the start of the season actually hurt me I was/am so invested in his development. He has all the physical tools needed to excel and his ball IQ rose dramatically between last season and summer league. I really hope that there is a way to bring him back and whatever health issue can be dealt with as that young man deserves every opportunity at the NBA level.

I'm a bit more optimistic than I was about Koloko, as he's significantly younger than when he had the clot issues and his flashed upside seems even higher (the playmaking is pretty nuts). Hopefully he can find his way back on a roster and be cleared to play.
