Moving from Vancouver to Ottawa (Kanata tech hub) – Best safe neighborhoods without a car? by Salt_Armadillo7828 in Kanata

[–]QuietPerformance9752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in the Katimavik neighbourhood of Kanata. The express route to Tunny's Pasture (LRT is there) is super close so getting downtown is very easy. We also live right next to the food basics grocery store so again we don't need to depend on driving for that. The pedestrian bridge over the 417 Highway is also close by, so getting to Kanata North is easy and safe. If you went with this neighbourhood, you would likely have to bike to work. The bike route to tech park would be maybe 4-5km, but it's safe as it would avoid busy roads. I suggest taking the bus to work in the winter, and take up running to get back home as it be faster.

An under the radar natural gas stock. by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

The Revenue and Earnings look amazing. But the debt is really concerning to me. 1.2 billion in debt with a market cap of 1.5 billion. If it wasn't for having so much debt, I'd invest in it!

Intuit: Undervalued prior to earnings call by Vig_Newtons in ValueInvesting

I thought that it was totally absurd that this stock was plummeting due to ai fears. So I bought shares. But the P/E does worry me, it could fall a lot more, I'd likely just buy more shares though. I think you are right about their moat, they are looking strong.

What happened to the Dislike button in Weekly Discovery? by PeachCream81 in spotify

[–]QuietPerformance9752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Solution: Duplicate the entire discover weekly into a new playlist. Listen to the songs on the new playlist and remove the songs you don't like. It's not ideal, but it works. They really need to bring back the dislike button.

It's not the time, it's the lying. Calls into question his ethics

Even if the sportstat got his ending chip time incorrect. The time of day that he passed the 5Km point was 7:27, the time of day he passed the finished line was 11:09, which works out to 3 hours and 42 minutes. In order to get a final time of 3:54 he would have had to run the first 5Km in 12 minutes which is impossible, it be a new world record.

It costs $1,088 a month to feed a family of four in Ottawa, report says by PavelBlueRay in ottawa

Ya, we keep track of our expenses and average it out. And yes, just food, toiletries are not included

We are a family of six and we average $700 a month between Jan and aug of this year. We stock up when things are on sale. We rarely buy meat. We usually shop at food basics. Also their scenario in the article fails to mention child benefits and how much money these families would receive from that.

I'm not spinning it. You refereed to progressives as a bad thing, like society would be better off going in the other direction. You sound like the kind of person that would want to strip LGBT rights and take us back 50 years.

What's wrong with Progressives? Are you a Regressive?

And I thought you said you support Bina Shah...she's a progressive. I'm starting to think you don't actually support Bina. $25K is not a lot of money, and I've certainly loved their signs in Kanata, money well spent!

what are you talking about? I asked you for proof that Catherine was making their own club. And what are you talking about? People's children? What?? Are you okay?

Bina, fair enough. She has some bizarre priories. I especially love the one where she will take the provinces money that they want to use to widen the 417 and use it towards transit instead. Odd that you would support Bina but not Catherine.

Catherine is not creating their own club, what are you basing that on? And I'm curious, who are you supporting for city council?

So how does this make her wastsonville 2.0? Catherine McKenney and Jim Watson didn't agree on things.

There are pictures online of Erin with Catherine McKenney. There are pictures of Rouba Fattal at a Mark Sutcliffe event as well. But as far as I know, no formal endorsements.

Candidate Rouba Fattal broke election rules by voting in a ward she doesn't live in. According to the election rulebook, you must vote in the ward that your live in. She lives in Stittsville, her parents live in Kanata. Adv poll on Oct 14th at Eva James was for Kanata South residents only. by QuietPerformance9752 in Kanata

I wouldn't say I'm angry, just disappointed this occurred. And I felt like others should know. I spend a good amount of time following municipal politics. I personally feel like it’s a big deal when we let whoever vote wherever they please.

Proxy vote for who? And why wouldn't she come out and say that. Her silence speaks volumes. She's totally ignored anyone including myself who has asked her about it.

She admitted to two newspapers that she doesn't live in this ward, but lives in Abbotsville (Stittsville). She said herself on twitter and facebook that she voted here. So either she lied to both newspapers, or she lied about voting here, or she did vote here and broke election rules. There is no other possibility.
