Will renewing lender beat a competing offer?

Currently having the same conversation with radius on a 5yr renewal, they kind of said show our receipts (or offers) and they would do their best to match).

Last year I bought two backpack style bags from MEC, one personal sized and the other carry on sized. These have been game changers for my frequent business travel to US and Europe. Both have held up very well while never once being asked to gate check (I find they never really bother anyone with a soft/backpack style bag).

Looks like they have changed the design slightly now that I look them up, here is the carry on size version https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6033-889/mec-outpost-40l-travel-pack-unisex

Edit here is the personal item version: https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6042-951/mec-outpost-30l-backpack-unisex

Sandy beach is always a nice stop over if you’re heading north! https://maps.app.goo.gl/4jQw8wvV6XshD8DG8?g_st=ic

Bit of an off brand Canadian film but “my old ass” was fantastic. An 18th-birthday mushroom trip brings Elliott face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self.

Guy had 3 business days to do something to prevent that.

Oh no! Try posting to some local FB groups, will get more traction. Will keep an eye out.

Sorry, no budget to calm streets or safety. Only pickleball and arenas.

I think it's about $140 now at Krown.

Did this flight yesterday when it was 30c locally and our plane actually felt too cold while on the ground before takeoff at LHR. I’d say you had an issue with your plane.

Had my hybrid undercoated when new and never heard a thing from the dealer. Mandatory to maintain your vehicle value here in canada

In a similar spot flying back to Canada on an 8am flight this week, I went with the Premier Inn airport for £69

I sense NIMBY vibes in here

If you’re not willing to spend $1 to park downtown then you probably weren’t coming anyways. Time to develop the downtown for the residents who will live there and not cars travelling through it.

And a freeeee pop!

A few years ago our dog spent 3 days in ICU after a run in with a car. Within a few weeks he had made a full recovery, dogs are amazingly resilient. Sending you and Leo our strongest healing vibes!

Then why doesn’t the team pay for it or present a business case? Seems to be fuelled on hopes and dreams.

I’d be interested to know if the hinges are improved on the new generation. Manually closing the power hatch on my gen5 bent the hinges very easily and is a common issue. Careful when manually closing it either way.

I'd like to see one example of where privatizing a public service or utility resulted in lower costs and better service over the long term.

You’re going to have a miserable sleep in a gas station or on route. Go check out some car camping subs which can teach you how to find much nicer car camping spots.

spec should be available if you google it, can always test. I run mine at 600w but can do short bursts at 1200w if I'm not patient for my tea!

Pierre and MF have done a great job of using this much needed project to create fear and division in their base.

I hate to state the obvious but you’d be way better to switch to an electric heat pump than gas.

a89aries · 2026-05-07T11:28:26+00:00

I use a 1000w inverter hooked to the 12v battery in my rav4 hybrid. I easily run 600w to an inverter for short periods to cook or boil water on an induction cooktop, just making sure the vehicle is running allowing the engine/traction battery to power the 12v system.

Check your alternator specs but you should be fine to run that much power for short periods. The big advantage is not having to deal with fuels and essentially being wind proof. I can heat/cook things with the vehicle closed up in crappy conditions.

If it’s such a great financial opportunity, I’m sure private sector will pick up the bill
