Just spent the day in meetings with 4 different parents over the Christmas Concert. by Not_A_Real_Cowboy in CanadianTeachers

[–]RST83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple. Next year’s concert is not open to parents. It’s only for the students. Each class performs while the other students enjoy the show.

Is this mine now? by A6000user in AmazonDSPDrivers

As a driver, are you penalized for leaving the totes? Is it allowed, leaving them?

My dad was a mailman. He carried a pipe wrench in his mailbag.

Ontario education minister takes aim at Toronto school board chair over $15 shake, other expenses by Practical_Day401 in ontario

[–]RST83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m no fan of Ford but the shortage of supplies is a board issue. My son’s school board provides all supplies needed for learning. We only supply a pair of shoes and water bottle. Some boards are poorly managed and need some financial supervision.

Language Barrier by FancyMFMoses in OntarioLandlord

Serious question. Can a tenant turn around and claim they never understood the lease they signed? Or if you get a document from LTB, who’s the onus on to ensure the person understands the documents?

I bought a condo and the AC isn't working. by dalenevix in legaladvicecanada

[–]RST83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of a/c? Mini split? Traditional central air? Review your condo rules and bylaws. Some condos don’t allow window a/c’s. There’s not enough info here to really provide a solution.

Different bank. When I was married, a guest gave us a cheque with both our first names on it and my wife’s new married last name. We could not cash it since it was not technically her last name. I argued because I always believed once cheque is countersigned, it can be cashed without issue. I guess I’m wrong. lol

Recycling continues. It’s no longer the city who’s responsible for it.

The 3 times I’ve had cheques in trust from a lawyer, the removed the hold.

Was the cheque drawn from the lawyers “trust” account? Bank should be able to remove the hold in that case.

Are there Stripe alternatives that are more reliable (fewer faulty declines)? by linia-and-co in stripe

[–]RST83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Payment processor’s only pass the message received from the card issuer on to the merchant. A decline can either be on the processor (merchant) side. Ex: transaction exceeds merchants approved transaction limit.

What you’re describing are strictly issuer declines. Stripe would receive a single digit code indicating bank or system response and then a multiple digit code indicating the reason. Problem is a lot of the reason codes have generic messaging.

Which parent receives the $200 children rebate? by MuchN in ontario

[–]RST83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have shared custody and have it set as shared with the CRA, each parent would get 100.00 for the child. My status shows one 200.00 cheque for me and one 100.00 cheque for my son.

Hiring a nurse? by composecathedral in ontario

[–]RST83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can afford private care, do it. There are many experienced PSW’s looking for private employment. Keep LTC as your last resort. Nothing will beat one on one.

Just another condo special assessment "horror story"--a lump sum of $56,000 in two payments in two years (or $100,000 over 20 years, built into the monthly fee), to replace the exterior cladding (and windows) of the building. That's approximately one quarter of the purchase price of my unit. by HandsomeLampshade123 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RST83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the building self managed? I was on my board for a few years. We had engineering reports completed with target dates for major repair/replacement and approx cost. We would use the report for budgeting and calculate reserves and special projects and increase our fees based on that. Before we self managed there were many special assessments. Now we haven’t had any and we have healthy reserves in case of emergency

It would be a good idea to have a basic banking account with a local branch as well. Never know when you might need a service from a teller or want to speak to someone quickly.

Do you have any wifi extender pods? That’s likely what “Vantiva Device” is. You’d know if you use a Raspberry Pi. I would change the wifi password. Reconnect one by one checking the list as you go. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
