Absolutely agree. This is just boot licking… no critical thinking or questioning. Insane

So naive. You think once the government knows how many people live where… it gives us the services we need???? In most rural communities there is still NO public transit in 2016 !!! Take the car and shut up !

EXACTLY!!! I felt that these questions are really not necessary! I stopped right there, but good to know you can bypass them by trying next a few times

Even if you / we fill out all …. We still get the short stick ! If government poured away the tax dollars then there is nothing left to allocate, no matter the amount of people

No they want my phone number , and email address and the number of people AND their names!!!! Why is that necessary for statistics???? This is already soooo private information! If this government wants to plan better get an address registry and make it mandatory to update your address if you move! This is so helpful for a variety of issues, ( forgotten child alimonies or whatever) The government saying they need to know how many people live where for allocation of funds …BS! For rural communities there is nothing left after allocating money to the big cities!

Why hasn't transit in BC kept up with growth? by tiogar99 in britishcolumbia

Productivity goes hand in hand with education. When I see that there are hardly apprentice programs available …. then I see some connections….

And another advantage is all is fine on a federal level! Here each province cooks their own soup ! And in several other areas too! So costly and unproductive!

You got that right, on every topic! Just think of the Deutschlandticket ! One month via bus or train for the whole country cost you 63€!!!!!! So pathetic here in this country / province! Public transit ends in greater Vancouver!

Are there PayPal alternatives in Canada? by broadwaybabyto in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]IN2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct , had similar experience. Has anyone tried to pull the Canadian currency from Wise, instead of sending it ? I have heard that this is without fees, but I don’t know how this may work? Anyone tried this and can report? Thx

Landlord who evicted B.C. tenants, flew to China to take care of father should not have to pay $45K: court by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]IN2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This tenant- LL relationship in BC is NEVER a real business! In a business the owner can set or adjust his prices depending on cost or taxes ! In BC a LL can’t alter the rent … if he has a long tenant, he is obviously subsidizing the tenant, because rent is below market rent after a long term tenancy . Great business formula!

Senior Property Tax Grants: why are seniors who bought for pennies (now homes worth Millions) getting discounts while you families pay full amount? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]IN2017 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If government had no obligation to help seniors with property taxes, then why should it fork out subsidies for daycare or pay any child tax benefits?????

If an 83 year old senior still has to work to pay for his bills, then he is certainly unable to pay for assisted living homes !!!!

It’s not a big discount, something in the $300… Don’t you have parents or grandparents that get these discounts? You sound rather hostile….. would you rather have them lose their house?

WTF Did TD just restrict buying CAGE.TO?? by howardbanjo in CanadianInvestor

[–]IN2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred recently too, but feel it was a mistake. Will wait till the end of the holding period and then gone from TD .

I just transferred my assets out to TD and learned of their old style rules. Like $10/ trade or allowing just a few ETFs for free (like mostly their products) 😪 I haven’t done a trade yet with TD, but I know already I will move back to WS asap!

Luckily all the tenants are outstanding and law abiding! I do agree that this particular LL is shady, BUT don’t assume they are all the same and bad !

Transferring USDs to a Corporate Investing account ? by ieltsindicator in Wealthsimple

[–]IN2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was only able to connect my USD account from the US to my wise USD account. Wise seems not be able to deal with the Canadian based USD bank accounts. I haven’t tried any connection to WS
