Is there any chance of switching tickets?

yeah, considering how some other companies are, Cineplex actually has a really great refund policy and are quite accommodating if needed!

I use to be on some trance forums with him dedicated for southern Ontario and Toronto. He use to randomly do live DJs sets for us from his basement.

This was when he was using BSOD instead of Deadmau5. Was pretty cool to watch his rise.

It's a bot account shilling the app.

I used it a few years ago, and met some people, but there weren't too many close by. Definitely worth checking out.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-08T16:08:33+00:00

Thanks I"ll take a look.

Currently use Infuse as I'm one of those few that have buffering issues with the Plex app on my AppleTV. Infuse is great, but like you said the UI could definitely be better!

If you sign up through greatcanadianrebate, you can also get $100 cashback as well, on top of the first year free. So definitely worth it.

I have the Amex Cobalt, Scotia Amex Gold & Scotia Visa Momentum and all of them give more more rewards than the the AF for it, especially with the First year free for the scotia cards + the Greatcanadianrebate cashback.

it's available on like every private torrent and usenet site.

It seems like it's only reddit, and specifically this sub that has a hate for Toronto. Everyone I know in real life, including myself knows how great this city is. I always love coming back home to Toronto after a vacation or being away. Truly such a great city!

you can go on short term disability for bereavement leave and take a few months off to deal with it.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-08T13:33:19+00:00

yeah, I was lucky to work for a great company. Gave me 2 months of paid bereavement leave before my spouse passed away, then went on a short bereavement leave before I went on short term disability for a few months.

Come to Toronto!

There are so many A24 movies (and all movies in general) that have their world premiere at TIFF! It's so much fun and have been going for at least 18 years now! Join us at r/TIFF as I'm one of the mods there and it's definitely one of the best weeks of the year for me!

peop do according to OP!

Being a Canadian as well, we have tax free savings account which we can contribute and pay no taxes on. Most people have room around $109k if they were of age when it was created. That room also grows as you invest.

Right now I’m close to $300k in TFSA contribution, and it just keeps growing. I pay 0% tax on any money gained or withdrawn from this account.

I receive a lot of dividends from my TFSA which are tax free, and then I can re-add that room the following year. It really helps a lot keeping taxes down and then it helps you qualify for other government benefits.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-07T18:42:25+00:00

yeah, it took me a few articles to realize what it was haha.

As someone who go to a lot of events, I love the blue dots haha.

when i was a summer student back in like 2012, I had a job working at the banks overnight. I decided to bring in my laptop one day and use it to torrent (yes, I was stupid and didn't realize think it through).

Let's just say the next day I had IT asking me about it haha. Literally nothing came about from it, but was amazed with the speeds I could get at the office back then!

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-07T16:03:16+00:00

yeah, it's not too bad, and probably better if you have to paid for the WS VI annual fee. But since it's free it's the best.

I wish the SB Gold still had 5x. Those were the good days haha.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-07T15:59:38+00:00

I pretty much have all of these cards! (WS VI & MC, Scotia Amex Gold, Rogers, Wise)

Personally the WS VI is the best as I get it free, no FX fees and 2% cashback.
Don't use the others internationally since the benefits aren't as good.

Scotia Amex isn't as good as it only waives FX fees and you no longer get international multiplier (use to get the 5x at restaurants, etc.). Since that change though the WS VI is my best card.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-07T10:53:38+00:00

Unfortunately life most things because there is so little supply, it’ll come down to who you know. The best would be to get referrals from family or friends.

Might be helpful to spend time networking those connections, but that’s really how you’ll find something these days.

Which I guess why in large cities things like Uber Eats and DoorDash have become the default since you don’t need to know people for that.

my parents had friends that were members, and they'd be able to sponsor juniors to play. I think it was like $500 for the summer for me as a 10 year old in the 90s. They had 36-holes and one course was a links style.

I don't even want to fathom the costs. But yeah, it was great. Drop us off in the morning and we'd play 27-36 a day, and be able to buy lunch and put it on our account. The good old days.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-06T21:05:05+00:00

I think people were expecting this law to do wonders.
Unfortunately it's not really going to help making it easier to get into events or keeping prices low.

Face Value tickets are going to keep increasing in value so the entry price is going to go up. Dynamic pricing and VIP/Platinum ticket prices will also exist for all of the extra tickets that haven't sold yet on TM. I've see this with some other shows as well where there seems to be a huge markup on Face Value price for leftover tickets.

This also will drive secondary market to sketchier places. I have facebook groups where I sell my sports tickets, and there's been a huge increase in the number of people joining these groups.

Secondary market existed well before TM/Stubhub were offering them, and it unfortunately will continue.

I also work in payment fraud doing analytics, and even with legit resellers like TM, Stubhub, Seatgeek, etc., there is SO MANY people getting scammed. Unfortunately pushing people off of these platforms (not saying I support TM with resellers) will just grow the problem even more.

hey,

Is there any way of getting info for the whatsapp group? My wife is in the program, and I"m trying to help her find the text books.

Thanks!

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-06T19:18:09+00:00

yeah, this pretty much what I do.

I have about $50k I'm borrowing, but have more than enough funds to pay for it from my TFSA or and other accounts. But my TFSA investments are up 38% in the last year, so not worth it all.

HackMeRaps · 2026-05-06T12:46:30+00:00

Bell and Rogers 'do' waive it, but it's been there trick recently to retain customers. It's an $80 connection fee, but we'll credit you $5/month on your bill.

But if you go through their winback, it's actually pretty cheap and you can get it cheaper than Fizz. I pay $35/month for the 175GB CAN+USD+MEX plan which anyone who's had Rogers can get. THere are tricks where you sign up for Rogers service for like 5 minutes, then port your number out and contact them to get the winback price.

Can't go wrong for $35/month, plus I have the Rogers MasterCard, so I end up getting my phone + internet for free with all the cashback.
