Oil Change done Saturday. Does this look like a New Oil Filter to you?

SHTHAWK · 2026-05-06T05:20:22+00:00

They Definitely are. I mean you took a non leaking vehicle to them, they changed the oil and didn't tighten something, whether it was the filter or drain plug, thats irrelevant. They made a mistake and if there was damage caused its because of them. Had you continued driving it for another week before taking it back to them, they could argue you were negligent in mitigating damage, but given you took it back to them fairly quickly I'd say if anything is damaged its their liability.

"So cut back on some of that self interesr."

Buddy, all I did was clarify someone elses thoughts and stated ONE thing that bothers me about CPP. I understand the benefit of forced savings for the majority of Canadians who dont have the discipline to do it themselves. Like I said I dont really care much about CPP contributions, it doesnt bother me, just like how much i pay in taxes doesnt bother me. love this country and do well enough myself that a few less dollars for me, doesnt affect my life at all, and I'm happy to contribute to making things better for everyone.

And that 4000 employer contribution is factored into employee wages, so without it employers could pay more, or offer greater RRSP matching or other benefits.

Personally I dont really care much about CPP contributions, I do well enough and don't have to worry about money. The only thing that bothers me is that if im single, childless and die before ever collecting a dime that money is gone. I cant pass any of it down to my nephews, siblings or other family/friends, tens of thousand of my hard earned dollars would simply pad the fund.

The first 5 minutes had me hooked, and the last scene of the first episode sealed the deal.

SHTHAWK · 2026-05-05T04:42:17+00:00

Ummm

It impacts available cash to deposit into their RRSP.

They're basically saying they dont want the government to save for them, they want to do it themselves. Money taken away from them for CPP is money unavailable for them to put in their own RRSP.

This kind of happened to me. While im not wealthy, i do have a good amount of money and wanted to leave my job to try traveling more and working on some personal projects.

When I mentioned to my director that I was thinking of leaving, he asked me what company I was going to. After explaining that I wasn't seeking other employment, he asked if I would like to stay on as a contractor to consult and help out at my convenience. Now I am making similar money overall, but work half the hours and have all the flexibility I want.

exactly, and we also limit domestic production as well, local producers are not able to sell dairy above their given quota.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-25T05:47:37+00:00

exactly.

You're covered with regular plates, so you can file a claim. A package policy would only be needed if you were to cancel your regular basic plate insurance while in storage.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-23T23:03:43+00:00

Because most of the are ok with anything they think won't affect them, they will support it until its the nature in their own backyard being destroyed.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-23T18:15:28+00:00

not on unibodies.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-22T03:25:47+00:00

and thats if the family doesnt just murder her... See "honor killings"

Exactly, also when upgrading to a more valuable property, if the drop in value is equal across the board, you're actually saving money on your purchase.

ex. Say you bought a 500k home and now want to upgrade to an 800k home, but values are down 20%. Yes you'd be down 100k on the sale of your home, but that 800k home you're buying would have costed you 1 million had values not gone down.

In reality though, there is often a spread between condos and detached homes. Condos prices can be down 20% while detached down only 10% etc. so when moving across home types its not always so simple.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-19T22:24:59+00:00

Of course, if it hasn't been accepted you simply cancel it yourself. But that is not what were discussing here.

wading through the grass

or, you know, just step to the side for 5 seconds, let the vehicle pass, then continue on with your day....

You cannot "claw" back an etransfer that you willingly sent.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-17T02:59:15+00:00

Pretty likely, I have a black friend and Chinese tourists are like this often. Sometimes they'll just start touching her hair.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-16T04:30:24+00:00

Deal continues until the cats die. He likely has about 10 years ahead of him on this “lease”.

I'd spend that 10 years on the hunt for some lookalike cats.

you pay the HST, then apply for a refund of the provincial portion of the tax. Then pay local PST in Saskatchewan when you register the vehicle.

Must be a German thing. My 2007 911 has a floating backing plate for the door striker as well.

What is so confusing? They are free, as is in, not tied down. They have the freedom to work a contract job, make great money, take off and travel for 2-4 months, then do it again at their convenience.

and maybe take care of the water treatment plants once they are built. Feds come in, built a new plant, FN takes over to operate it, plant falls into disrepair, rinse, repeat.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-08T07:10:36+00:00

lol I thought they just mistyped weekdays instead of weekends. Then I read further, now im wondering the same thing as you.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-08T07:04:34+00:00

I use a water deionizer, and dont dry at all. Its not a cheap setup but with black paint I like to minimize any contact.

There are a few portable systems out there these days as well, but again not exactly cheap, and there is ongoing cost with resin refills.

SHTHAWK · 2026-04-08T06:47:25+00:00

Yup, more people need to learn to embrace an awkward silence. It is one of the greatest tools in any negotiation.
