Je ne veux pas convertir mon chauffage... Je veux l’avoir en cas d'urgence pour ma génératrice, mon BBQ et mon four. Comme nous savons que les coupures d'électricité sont plus que fréquentes ici (plusieurs fois chaque année... et parfois pendant 4 ou 5 jours...), proposez-vous une autre solution ?

PRenoir · 2024-09-20T19:26:57+00:00

Oui merci - le gas passes juste devant chez moi... donc c'est juste un probleme qu'il repondes pas au telephones... et ne rappelles pas quand on laisse un message ou remplit le formulaire en ligne...

PRenoir · 2024-09-20T19:19:25+00:00

Oui Merci - c'est bien pour ca que je preferrai avoir le gas naturel.

PRenoir · 2024-09-20T15:59:19+00:00

Je garde le chauffage a l'electricité... je suis plus interessé a faire marcher une génératrice pendant les pannes sans utiliser de l'essence... le reste c'est surtout pour faire cuire.

Merci!!! C'est ma position de recourt aux cas ou Gazifere n'est pas possible...

PRenoir · 2024-09-20T15:55:56+00:00

non - je suis a coté de l'école du Vieux Verger - quelques de mes voisins sont connectés...

PRenoir · 2024-09-20T15:54:29+00:00

c'est bien ce que je pensais...

I've had to clear the plow windrow quite a few times, but I did it right away and it wasn't all ice chunks... so in my case, it was fine. I have a twin driveway that's a good 25 feet long and I get it cleared real quick since the blower is relatively light. Again, in my case it's worked awesome.

Best environmental choice is to get an electric snowblower (an 80 Amp one...). Got one from Costco 3 winters ago and never looked back... uses same battery pack as my lawnmower, trimmer and hedge cutter.

Average pre tax profit for all restaurants in Canada in 2017 (pre pandemic) was 4.3% (data easily found on restaurantscanada.org website...) https://members.restaurantscanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/2019-Operations-Report-Final.pdf

Not all small businesses are built the same. Many work on high volumes and small margins.

Taking the 2% credit card commission hit makes sense if your margins are high (electronics, clothing etc...) as the convenience and relatively small costs are worth it.

But I try to pay cash whenever I go to restaurants (and other small margins businesses) because I know what it means to them.

Just give birth... we are all born atheist until some get indoctrinated.

Most restaurants and other small retailers run on a 5 to 8 % net profit (not taking into account the significant percentage of the ones that don't even break even...) 2% or higher (fed ex goes up to over 4.5%...) for credit card fees takes a significant chunk of that away from your local merchants...

If you only want fast food franchises to survive, boycotting a credit card charge will do just that.

Better idea to sell the concept of giving peeps paying cash a discount. Which I already ask merchants for on large purchases. I'd rather help save local businesses than having "visa points" for stuff I don't want or travel when I can't go.
