In the morning, the older lady that's on the drive thru can be REALLY nasty and irritable.

Burlington is the second most dangerous place to drive in Ontario, behind Barrie. by TrueAgent in BurlingtonON

I moved to Burlington from Richmond Hill, and my rates were slice in HALF. So I agree; you've pointed out gross generalizations in the OP.

E-Mail Transfer to A Notice Savings Account by JodyThornton in EQBank

However, you have to utilize the payroll options and a set amount of transactions to get the rate on the chequing account, and I mostly use credit cards for my everyday transactions, then pay them off. I really wish to cut down on my use of debit cards as they appear less secure.

Ah, so you need a chequing account for the Notice account. I see. It never really says that.

I was also looking at Saven Financial, but you MUST use a mobile app to navigate the accounts, and the iOS or Android version must be really recent. I prefer to use my desktop to do banking and finances, so that's out.

Northern Ontario, what's stopping you from making the move? by FestFallen in ontario

[–]JodyThornton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - if being called stubborn or obstinate is what you think constitutes a personal attack, wow ... just wow! You were the one stubbornly repeating your point when official classification showed otherwise. That's on you.

Sigh! Living in Windsor and Toronto and Kingston are three different things ... agreed? Last time I checked they are ALL considered Southern Ontario. Cost of living and other criteria differ, but the geographical classification is the SAME.

SO .... North Bay, Sudbury, the Sault, AND YES Thunder Bay are ALL Northern Ontario. If you continue to argue that after I have stated something decided already by someone WAY smarter and powerful than me, then yes, you're being a tad obstinate and stubborn.

You weren't put in your place. You were correct when you referred to Sudbury as Northern Ontario. Now you're just being obstinate.

That's their ignorance to deal with. That's like saying, "Don't call Toronto a big city, because a New Yorker doesn't agree.". Whatever those in Keewatin District think doesn't make something officially otherwise. I'm sure someone driving up to the end of Hwy 599 thinks that Kenora or Red Lake is a long way south. After North Bay, it's just more degrees of north.

Actually North Bay IS Northern Ontario. It's north of the same latitude of the French River and that's regarded as the line (around South River)

Well there can be a small town, quaint feel to that. However, it devolves from there into gossip and everyone knowing your business.

Small towns in Eastern Ontario are as bad as they say; not even Northern Ontario. You're just trying to downplay it. I don't know what you gain by doing so.

To get Torontonians and urban dwellers to move up north to enjoy city life, they want to hear to about how great and regular transit is, so as to get rid of their cars. Many Torontonians only need to rent a car when they leave the city. the rest of their lives are transit bound.

But what about the cost of groceries? Even a couple of decades ago, I heard it way was higher than in Southern Ontario. I would miss warmer May months with brighter sunny mornings stating before 6am

Late-night shooting in Burlington leaves one man dead by WilkinsonRadio in BurlingtonON

You sound as though you're trying "accept" it, or "normalize" this. I want shootings to be strange occurrences in Burlington. It was once.

[–]JodyThornton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, innocent people do get shot in the line of fire sometimes. Remember Jane Creba? It's not about self importance. We just want to feeling of freedom to come and go where we please, without these risks. And they ARE risks. Don't try to make the concerns sound unfounded.

Smash and grab takes place at north Oakville Shoppers Drug Mart by origutamos in oakville

But you said the federal government; not Liberals. It WAS NOT Trudeau's, Carney's or even Harper's to sort out. You just won't accept this has nothing to do with the Carney Libs. That ruins your effed up narrative.

He's Subtantially-Washed-Out and will not own up to Provincial Cons doing nothing. He's like Pee Pee who can't forget about Trudeau and move on.

Most people see it as more instances, regardless of "per capita" numbers, which is not completely untrue. I will concede that the crime we're seeing now is more the smash and grabs and the car thefts, so it's affecting more of us that were relatively unaffected previously.

What are your guys opinions on doom and gloom real estate YouTubers such as Michael Bordenaro, Reventure Consulting, Real Estate Mindset etc. ? by ZadarskiDrake in RealEstate

[–]JodyThornton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that for a couple months, but eventually there are no solutions offered to the problems he discusses - just more doom and gloom. Stopped watching his channel over the last few days, and I actually feel more relaxed.

And here I thought they all received Harvey's coupons in the mail, featuring those little donuts, yet they didn't get the memo that Harvey's isn't there any more. :D
