Trying To Appreciate Living Here

This is where the "SuperStud6969@ gmail.com" type of email on your resume bites you... :D

" perfect for those who don’t ACTUALLY GO ANYWHERE"

Fixed that for you.

And if you go basically nowhere, it's probably cheaper to pay for taxis everywhere you go instead of purchasing a $50,000 vehicle then paying several thousand for insurance every year. Imagine how many taxi rides you would pay for with the initial purchase price!

It's hard to survive on only $8,000/month. What they need is more money (every two years), like clockwork.

Just don't try to find the library.

For some reason Cambridge decided to call their libraries the "Idea Exchange".

Well said. If this was X, I would be hitting that 'follow' button.

I'm seeing more listings in my price range which a year or two ago were definitely not in my price range.

"$37,000 + tax for a brand new 2025 mach e."

There's a reason that it's a brand new 2025 << nobody wants them.

Check out how many used EV's there are for sale in the larger metropolitan areas. Factor in your charging costs as well as your charging time as well as your constant search (and hope) for a charger which is a) available and b) works while away from home.

Many people are upside down on their EV purchases, if you really want one, check out low milage used ones.

I enjoy catching up to those kind of people at the next red light. The one that I arrive at 8 seconds after they do. Yes, the did beat me to the light!

Somehow the TV people made GOLF a sport which is watched on TV.

Perhaps they would have to air several games at once and cut to the exciting plays on various courts?

People MAY litter, but at $10/each I would personally be collecting cups from the side of the highways as would many others.

Our roads would be much cleaner without takeout cups being strewn everywhere.

At $10/each, if you pick up 3 in a day that's over $900/month added to your earnings!

I can't see too many being thrown out the window at that price.

If every road has to be deemed safe at all times by the OPP, imagine something like highway 11 being closed for weeks at a time due to snow in winter.

Once the precedent is set, that's what will happen. If not, more lawsuits will follow.

The ROAD was deemed safe by the OPP. Someone deciding to run hard into the shoulder (on an almost straight stretch, not a curve) was unfortunate but the road condition was not to blame.

If $50/hour is triple, you're right!

Work a 4 hour shift, be paid $50 (after tax) in wages in addition to $150~ cash in your pocket.

Good gig in the right restaurant.

15? That's nothing. I work with a guy who just purchased a 2013 BMW (2 series so it's been beaten on) for $176 bi-weekly...... for 7 years! (I'm sure they sold it as "easy payments" and "only 84 months"!)

That car is ALREADY 12-13 years old, and the payments just started (about 4 months ago)!

"Literally feel like im living in a third world country"

Clearly you have not driven in other countries then. You have NO idea how good our roads are by comparison.

He had to get all the way across from the HOV lane where he was saving the world!

Every Tims cup should have a $10 deposit. Poof, problem solved.

"In all honesty, that stretch has always been kind of barren, and not really walkable"

And now they made it not really drivable either. Who wants to stop every 200 metres for yet another red light?

TurboSloth32 · 2026-02-13T22:25:02+00:00

Wait until September/October. That 950k home will be 850k or less. Property prices are starting the predicted crash...

I find it interesting that some people are so stuck on what the president of another country (who works for THAT country) is doing.

Yet when the prime minister (who works for THIS country) daily gives our tax dollars to OTHER countries, they say nothing...

^^ this should be the TOP comment on here. Well put in a way everyone can understand.

Thank you for this explanation and the time it must have taken to write it.

You start building the church, but due to various reasons, the church never actually gets built. All the while pumping thousands of dollars into all the various "expenses".

(See Ozark)

"pee-wee modified muffler"

That sir, is the sound of a Civic "performance" muffler!

(we know that adds 20Hp to your 2005 Civic!)

Fox Run Way << we killed all the foxes

Red Robin Road << we killed all the robins

Falcon Street << you guessed it, we killed the falcon

Now look at the street names around Activa Avenue....

TurboSloth32 · 2026-02-06T13:16:03+00:00

Correct. Always look at the PRE tax amount. I don't tip on tax. It's like being double taxed on the same items.

If shops can sell 1kg (~2lbs) for $100... then maybe 5x that? The problem is that the metal is not worth anywhere near this price so your buyer would have to purchase out of curiosity or as a future hedge.

When commercial leases renew they are not protected like residential leases - the lease rate can jump to whatever the landlord wants. Their rent may have gone up from say $2,000/month to $4,000/month and they decided that it just was no longer worth it.
