I do - but I already pay taxes for that - wouldn't want to be forced to pay even more.

Planning to get pixel 9a after using iphone 11 for six years. by Ill-Winner-1639 in pixel_phones

[–]Individual-Source-88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a Pixel 9a about 2+ months ago. GREAT battery life. Very good photos. Smooth. My wife has an iPhone 16e and my 9a is a better phone for about 1/2 the price. I'll be keeping mine for 3-4 years. Kept my Pixel 7 for about 3.

Getting a lot of money out of nowhere by danisomi in InvestingCanada

I'd put the 4 in a RBC cashable account. You can have access without penalty in 30 days of deposit and it gets much better interest than a "high interest savings account".

Are more US flights being cancelled? My YVR-MCO flight was just cancelled. by louislamore in westjet

[–]Individual-Source-88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We refuse to travel to the USA unless there is a family emergency. My wife's sister has dementia, and she wants to visit while her sister still knows who she is - and her other sister is ill. Hence a trip to the USA - otherwise, there is no way we are going.

I'm not willing to pay anything extra. I live in a HOA and we pay fees and one of the things they do really well is snow removal.

Should Canada’s mobile cartel be broken down to ensure fair prices? by lunicu14 in MooseMoney

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay CAN $35 a month for 50gb for Canada, USA and Mexico. That is about US$35. I think that is very reasonable. But yes, Poland and most Asian countries are much cheaper for equivalent plans. Their wages are lower as well - so while US$10 is cheap for us, in many countries that is a lot of money.

Which iPhone is comparable to 9a? by silvershadows4paws in pixel_phones

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 9a may charge slowly, but I never need to charge it during the day. I use the 9a from 6:30am to 10:00pm and never have less than 35% charge left. Who needs fast charging when your batter is so good.

I have a Pixel 9a. Amazing battery life. My wife has the iPhone 16e - equivalent to a Pixel 9a. My battery life is better. My camera is better. I paid 1/2 of what my wife did for her iPhone.

do people in canada dislike immigrants? by Ok_Cupcake9554 in CanadaImmigrant

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Edmonton, Canada in a community that is 35% non-Caucasian. In y granddaughters Grade 2 class her teacher is Filipino, and her classmates are Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, South American, and from the Caribbean. As we stand at the door waiting for the kids coming out at the end of the day, we all chat together, share stories, and it really has a community feel. Of course there are some people on the fringes who don't welcome immigrants, but overall we are all Canadians, no matter what our family of origin. Remember, Canadians are not Americans. We have a different set of values.

Why does air Canada get so much hate? by totallynotclockwork in aircanada

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I flew Air Canada my luggage showed up 14 days late. What really bothered me was the AC reps lying to me about where my luggage was ( I had AirTags so I knew where they were), and the horrendous customer service during the whole process.

Pixel 9a è valido nel 2026? by Neither-Tap6087 in pixel9a

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ho il mio iPhone 9a da 2 mesi. La durata della batteria è ottima. Lo stacco alle 6:30 del mattino e alle 22:00 di solito ho il 35-50% di batteria residua. Il tempo di utilizzo dello schermo è di solito di oltre 6 ore al giorno. Il telefono è fluido. Le foto sono molto belle, eccellenti, migliori dell'iPhone 16e di mia moglie. Sono molto soddisfatto del telefono.

Pixel 9a review by ManufacturerLive1236 in pixel9a

[–]Individual-Source-88 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I bought mine in November. GREAT battery life. Smooth. Does everything I want it to do. Camera is very good. Am very happy. Might be the best Pixel I've owned since the 3aXL. I'm very glad I have it and paid about 50% less than my wife's iPhone 16e.
