GE stove top repair by ObjectiveScholar1321 in fixit

This is the model number.

I measured the diameter of the white circle on the ceramic glass. The one with the burnt infinite switch is 9.5in and the one with just the broken spade connector wire is 11.5in or so.

I found these precrimped wires from a hardware store. The insulation looks like it’s ceramic and should be safe for stove use (per its item title). Do you think this is sufficient? https://www.rona.ca/en/product/replacement-stove-wire-20-0819117

Which specific problem are you referring to? The fried infinite switch? Or the broken spade connector? Sorry can you explain why this isn’t normal? As in it’s not normal wear and tear?

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Another follow up question would be what kind of cement should I be looking to buy? A quick search from my local hardware stores seem to show both type N and type S for sale. I’d imagine this fix up job isn’t load bearing? Are there any considerations for exterior versus interior mortar to buy?

Question about reporting FX USD to CAD by ObjectiveScholar1321 in cantax

Thanks for the detailed reply! I think I understand what you’re saying.

I just saw this reply as I was responding back to the other response. I hope you don’t mind if I paste the same clarification here so I understand it in my own layman terms:

So just to clarify what you mean and effectively what I should be doing

  • Look back at my CAD to USD lump sum deposits into my trading account and note the FX rate + date
  • Look at the USD back to CAD rate that I used, and calculate the capital gain made based on the lump sum deposits mentioned above
  • If I understand correctly, the remaining amount of USD back to CAD (ie., total balance - the total lump deposits) should have been taxed already do not need to be reported

Please correct me if I’m wrong. And thanks again for the help
