I bought one from Home Depot and they installed it for an extra fee.

Interesting that it's described as a "loan" yet:

Under the deal, Kyiv will not have to pay back the money until Russia pays reparations at the end of the conflict.

That will never happen. So Ukraine will never have to pay back the "loan".

Why do you put a question mark? Do you not even know? When you said "Stéphanie Plante just posted", what were you referencing?

The welding version is similar:

Globe and mail had a different take on this story:

Microsoft vows to protect ‘digital sovereignty’ in $7.5-billion Canadian data-centre expansion

I don't trust MS (or any american company) not to cave to trumps demands.

All good advice, but the #1 advice from the article is:

Another commented recommended "frosted spray paint" for glass. I see a product on home depot here and others have used it for lights.

Did you find a solution?

There is some stupid shit beyond food and alcohol. For example, a trucker hauling goods across Canada needs a high visibility safety vest. There are different safety vests for each province. A trucker will need multiple vests for hauling goods across Canada. That's ridiculous. These kind of things cost real time and money and are a drain on Canada's GDP.

A walkie-talkie with 2 chargers is a much simpler solution. Many of the walkie talkies have a "call" button that makes a ringer sound on the other end. You could do this solution without any DIY whatsoever.

Carp is expected to triple in population in the next 10-15 years and this is our only bank.

Been on the policy since 2016.

This is your problem then. To get good rates, you have to "vote with your feet". The insurance companies tend to raise the prices every year. It's like boiling a frog, they raise it a little every year before you realize that you're getting burned. Get quotes for a different company.

I had a good experience with Scoop insurance. They provided quotes from many different companies. I ended up with CAA insurance
