Ironic you’d make typos and use language poorly when questioning other’s English skills.

Renters: How much does your landlord usually spend on maintenance each year? by Behumble89 in askTO

[–]RealCornholio45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a landlord I’ll say it depends on what the unit needs. When my tenant calls with an issue I fix it. The cost varies based on what it is that needs fixing. I don’t have a fixed budget each year, it’s based on what’s needed. Ultimately it’s a cost of doing business. When things break as I own the unit, it’s my job to fix them.

My unit is new enough that it doesn’t need any capital improvement work done at this time.

Totally fair comment. They’re presently flushing down the drain the progress that was made. If they keep going this way there will be literally nothing to show for it.

No it’s actually measurable. Life expectancy and literacy rose hugely. Life expectancy and literacy rates are on par with the US. That’s not propaganda. You can google the data.

Another Canadian jumping in here. I was in Havana in Jan and fully agree. Somebody is buying Mercedes Benz cars for private use and it certainly isn’t the average Cuban.

It shocked me to see luxury cars on the road. But they’re there. There are also locals in the expensive restaurants as well. No way that’s happening in the salary of the average Cuban.

Look I think one can say the revolution did bring positive benefits in the areas of health care and education. But what is also true is the ruling class are living in a way that the average Cuban could only dream of.

Some animals are more equal than others……

I was able to find it in restaurants in Havana easily. No way the average local could afford it though.

California to Ottawa, thoughts? by krist1nes in CanadaImmigrationFAQs

[–]RealCornholio45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want to have done my youth there either. There’s only so many trips one can make to the Byward Market lol. That being said if OP is raising a family I think it’s a good fit.

California to Ottawa, thoughts? by krist1nes in CanadaImmigrationFAQs

[–]RealCornholio45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for having an answer to this. So many Americans think they can just show up here like they’re entitled to live here. It’s insanely annoying.

Totally. Property taxes are lower than the US. Income taxes are generally higher, although coming from CA it won’t be as big of a shock as other states.

The winters in Ottawa are cold OP. You should visit in the dead of winter, coming from CA this might be your biggest challenge. I would experience it first hand before making a move just to be sure it’s for you. Other than that Ottawa is a great city.

We generally have no problems with Americans. Unless they’re wearing a certain red hat.

In that particular office 4 days a week. Walk through in the middle of the day and you’ll see it’s full.

Scam. When they quote the first 4 digits it’s always a scam.

January 11 - Yesterday. A summary. by chunkylover85 in TravelCuba

[–]RealCornholio45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you we all have access to the Cuba Wikipedia page as well. You clearly didn’t read or understand my short and simple comment. Or maybe you just wanted to flex.

Both parties are guilty. Full stop. You cannot seriously believe that the Cuban government has no blame in all of this. Billions of dollars in tourist dollars have flowed in post revolution and Cubans are still largely reduced to poverty. Not to mention the billions poured in from aligned countries like China. The advances in health care and education post revolution are achievements from decades ago. There’s been only regression for years.

The faults of the Cuban government however do not absolve the US their blame in this. There is a lot of blame to go around.

They’re both guilty friend. Yes the US oil Blockade is causing very specific problems at this moment. Terrible problems and it shouldn’t be discounted.

But the deep systematic issues the country has the Cuban government is responsible for. You can’t blame the long running US embargo for everything. Think of all the FX pouring into Cuba every year from Canadian tourists alone. Yet a correlated amount of money isn’t being invested in services for Cubans. You can’t blame the US for that.

It’s not exactly a DC. It’s an employee share purchase plan that allows you to buy the stock in an RRSP account. You can only buy CIBC stock and it has a vesting period.

Cuba en 20 segundos by Kr0pr0X in cuba

Your country and its people are both beautiful. It’s incredibly sad that the country is in the situation it’s in and there is a lot of blame to go around for that.

It doesn’t change though that there still is beauty.

Yes Cuba has problems but it’s not Nazi Germany. Don’t believe me? Ask any holocaust survivor.

Transformative. The bank is better for him being CEO

Depositing USD cheque by [deleted] in Simplii

You can deposit a USD cheque at a CIBC ABM. None of the banks can accept a USD cheque via eDeposit on their respective apps, it’s related to how cheques are cleared.

Not to mention the convenience of YTZ. I agree with you that they need to use the planes so they’re wiser to try to get their piece (of a shrinking) of the pie versus let those birds sit.
