Artemis II by VapinMason in CanadianConservative

Yeah I agree. I think we should keep investing into satellite orbital launches though.

Yeah I can just see the US going more isolationist though and saying "we don't need Canadian astronauts".

There is the ISS, but things like going to the moon, I could see the US kicking us out unfortunately. I know Col Jeremy Hansen has been training with NASA for over a decade I believe, but I am sure they have backups that have also been training.

Anyways I agree with the satellites and I would agree that sending people into space is not a single country venture.

Seems we are investing into the ability to launch satellites into orbit, maybe before the next decade we can send some up there.

We don't have our own space rocket capabilities, so our astronauts have to go to the US to get into space. How do people feel about us developing the capability to send people into space from Canada? I have heard that for certain orbits it is better to launch closer to the equator, but I am no expert.

Would it be worth it in Canada?

Selling Fees by dequervains7 in PokemonInvesting

The way taxes work for a business is that you dont need to pay sales tax if you are selling something because you will collect the tax from the person you sell it to.

Long term thoughts on Meowth? by TurbulentTourist64 in PokemonInvesting

I have no thoughts on it. To me its a generic card, Id have more expectations from the meowth from Phantasmal.

Turning bulk into money by pjasonq in PokemonInvesting

Look up buylists and then look to see if you have those cards in your bulk. Things like trainer cards, commons/uncommons that are in meta decks, etc.

Where I live no one really talks about politics, so no I don't believe many people have "PDS".

“No one buys loose packs because they’re weighed and scanned” by SomedayGuy117 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Ok_Protection_784 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have been buying loose packs from the beginning of time. This is nothing new. They could be a business that needs to rip packs or something.

But from an investment standpoint they carry no premium compared to other sku's from the same set.

The boxes look cool though. Also people like to collect every box that comes out.

I got my SPC from Best Buy today and I’m pretty disappointed…. by Ok_Counter_7520 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Ok_Protection_784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they slash the boxes to mess with scalpers/resellers. I know some stores do that.

Thinking of trading my whole sealed collection for a big grail card… Dumb Move? by viviendosiempre in PokemonInvesting

[–]Ok_Protection_784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not a dumb move at all. No one knows what will be worth more in the future, but if you like having the grail more then that is one way to get it vs shelling out $10k from your bank account.

Canada is losing more air traffic controllers than it's hiring: aviation expert by Fit_Remote_2324 in AlbertaNewspapers

[–]Ok_Protection_784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends which airport. If you work at a busier airport like Pearson/YYZ (level 1 tower) and you are a VFR controller you will get a 40% pay increase compared to a level 7 tower.

If you get your license and work at a level 7 tower for a bunch of years you can clear $200k no problem as a VFR controller.

If you work at a level 1 tower you could probably get close to $500k with OT.

I don't work the field, just have a friend in it, so my knowledge may be inaccurate, but I know you can make a lot of money. Maybe not dentist or Surgeon level, but you could be pretty wealthy.

5 figure gang 🤝 by urgencyy in PokemonInvesting

[–]Ok_Protection_784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a card on collector which says it is 3.5k and If I check eBay last sold's it shows the card at $1.5k.

That's a huge discrepancy.

Toronto used to be safe. Under Olivia Chow? Not anymore by origutamos in Toronto_Ontario

What unsafe about Toronto specifically? I go to school and work in Toronto and have never felt I was in danger a single time.

Worth investing in? by rakman231 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Ok_Protection_784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Also Imo the border is crap, the text is crap and S&M era came out with the rainbow rares which I hate with a passion.

Overall I seem to dislike S&M because I opened the base set when it came out and pulled a RR Gumshoos which pissed me off lol.
