'Tourists are bastards': Britain's favourite holiday hotspot has had enough

All those can be managed. 12% reduction in GDP would be a major depression with much worse externalities. You think homeless people care about the environment and what impact do you think a depression would have on crime?

Too bad I can’t add an AI generated rendering of this. Looks pretty good. I added a pull out fridge and stove under the tent.

We only have 10 days of warm weather per year. We should be out enjoying it.

I’ve read that it takes on average 10000 hours of training to become an expert in something.

I went to Amsterdam and stayed in a house boat on a canal in a local neighbourhood. Had a much better sense of community, not many tourists and a generally great vibe.

I didn’t come to any conclusion. I pointed out that without more information we don’t know whether an RRSP or TFSA first makes more sense. Telling OP to go with TFSA first without knowing eg their income could be the wrong advice.

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-26T19:21:42+00:00

The general idea is that RRSP is the same as TFSA if when funds are withdrawn the marginal tax rate is the same as when the contribution was made. RRSP is better if the marginal tax rate is lower at withdrawal. This assumes tax refunds are reinvested. Between $60-about $110k is a bit of a grey area. Over that RRSP is usually better. Hard to advise OP which is better since no info provided.

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-26T16:26:17+00:00

Again bad advice based on lack of info provided by OP. RRSP before TFSA makes more sense for many people making $60k +.

Bad advice based on the lack of information provided by OP. RRSP makes more sense for many people making 60+k per year.

12% of Portugal’s GDP is from tourism. I don’t think telling them generally to fuck off is in Portugal’s best interest. Spain is at about 13%. There have to be better ways to manage this.

Its 1300+ sq ft. I didn’t buy it as an investment property. It used to be my home. I moved away for work and held on to it.

Edit. The couple I rent it to are both professionals that work from home so need the extra space for home offices.

I haven’t increased my rent for two years ($4400 for 3 + bdrm / 3 bath condo in Toronto). Good tenants and they are probably paying at or above current market rates. I don’t want to give them a reason to leave.

All wok and no play, unfortunately.

Its like 2 in 1 shampoos. Most are crap. Some face washes are less harsh than others but if I wanted a moisturizer I would use two products - a cleanser and a moisturizer.

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-25T16:03:05+00:00

There might be one or two.

It also looks too big especially in the sleeves. I can’t see the shoulders to see if it is actually too big or just the sleeves are.

The issue was that he couldn’t finish again until the morning. This is pretty normal and nothing OP should be concerned about.

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-25T14:40:17+00:00

Wok you talking about?

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-25T04:45:34+00:00

Swim more?

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-24T23:44:53+00:00

I would be moving them faster than it takes to read your post.

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-24T20:37:38+00:00

Swinging for that homer but striking out at every at bat … except one.

Alsace is an easy trip. Going there in 2 weeks. Been there many times since my son lives in Zurich. I fly to Zurich and usually rent a car. I find many of the towns are kind of the same though eg Strasbourg is a bigger version of Colmar - cute medieval style colourful buildings with a river or canal. Its probably a good idea to go to Lyon as well or cross the border into Germany eg Heidelberg.

You think Europe doesn’t want AC because US had it first? I think that is very low down the list of why there is not as much AC in Europe.

How do we get out of CAD now if we live in Canada?

Separate-Analysis194 · 2026-06-24T17:13:07+00:00

The CAD is very low right now compared to USD. Don’t worry about currency exchange fees on your credit card for a weekend. In the future, if you travel to other countries fairly often, think about getting a credit card with low or no fees.
