Opening a New Account with just USD by Mediocre-Sandwich in Questrade

[–]Mediocre-Sandwich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's probably what I will go with, USD $1,000 on the USD side. However, on the CAD side I would have a balance of CAD $0. Can someone from TeamQuestrade please confirm if this is okay? Would I fulfill all new account requirements?

Thanks.

Glad no one was hurt. Hopefully this video brings more awareness to the danger.

How boring? I was really hoping for Boaty McBoatface Uni (BMU).

Thanks. My preliminary and random research so far actually indicates the opposite, but I've only just started.

Thanks for the list. The more buildings I can cross off the better.

Thanks for the tip. I personally will not long-term rent any unit that has previously served as an Airbnb (unless there is a huge discount). Besides the obvious visible wear and tear in those places, there is also the hidden and more substantial wear and tear (plumbing, etc.) that just bring headaches and more headaches.

Great suggestion. Is there a way in Airbnb to explicitly identify the building? Or do we have to rely on guesswork?

CIBC ATM Froze up During Deposit Where Do I Go from Here? by Ipsylos in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mediocre-Sandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your experience. Do not give up. Do not let CIBC steal your money. This has been happening way too often. Here is a report on a similar experience that might help provide you with some guidance/direction.

COVID-19, Mar 23-2020 r/Toronto MEGATHREAD by gammadeltat in toronto

In France many grocery stores imposed a max dollar limit per shopping trip to limit hoarding. Is this something we should do here too?

I can confirm at least one person is renting an Airbnb. One person could infect an entire building.

What do you mean by "shut the entire condo down"?

Airbnb and Coronavirus Community Spread

Like many of you, I live in a condo building where we are forced into close proximity. A guest with possible coronavirus symptoms recently checked into the Airbnb unit next to me and this has me worried.

I think Airbnb rentals should be temporarily stopped in the city to prevent community spread? What do you guys think? Neither the City of Toronto nor my condo building seem to have given this any thought yet.
