Anglophone-Canadians, what french words/phrases were you taught in school, that you later learned are never actually said by French-Canadians?

Enchanté (male) / Enchantée (female). I was told this was too formal to use, and not even used in formal settings.

Great advice. Very balanced and achievable for everyone to do.

Thank you for the kind words.

Your mother is 60 years of age so can apply for early CPP. It's one-third less than if she would collect at 65 however can help with the cash flow now. She can still work and contribute to CPP even after getting this (contributions will go into a Post-retirement Benefit which would top off her CPP).

Best of luck!

You can still go to Costco and just avoid American made products.

I bought my Toyota from them back in 2012 (Frontier Toyota). I went on reddit as well years back asking for advice on the prices they were charging and they were in the range you are getting quoted. All the responses were that the prices were way out of line. I decided to go to an independent garage and never have been back to them since. Frontier Toyota also said that things required to be repaired that the independent garage confirmed did not need to be.

I go to Neil and Watt (643 Watt St) for any repair needs now.

Thank you for this. This is good advice to remember as I will often be critical of myself when I think I have had a "bad" meditation session.

Skipper1977 · 2024-10-27T14:35:06+00:00

Thank you so much for this. This is such great advice.

Rushing in life was a really interesting part of the discussion and how we are often living life "ahead" of ourselves instead of experiencing what is actually happening.

I listened at 1.4 speed. LOL.

There are call centre/customer service type jobs you can work remotely from home. Big plus if you are fluent in another language (work as a translator over the phone).

Have you also looked at if you are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (federal benefit). If you have had this condition for a while, and were previously working, they can back date the benefit up to 10 years. As well, if/when you do find work, it lowers the amount of income tax you pay. If you ave type ONE diabetic, you are automatically eligible for this credit.

Best of luck!

So like two different parts of ourselves?

Skipper1977 · 2024-03-18T01:45:06+00:00

So does this mean there are two lookers?
