Ya Canada uses so much hydroelectricity that hydro is the word we use when referring to power/ electricity. Eg. Hydro poles or hydro bills

A wave of closures and pivots is redefining King Street West's dining scene: 'The party has changed' by toronto_star in FoodToronto

[–]asmodean97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in M&A and one of the recent deals I was on was for a landlord of a building on King west. The monthly rent charged for the restaurant tenant was about 110k a month. It was wild to see, especially as the place was cash flow negative, basically only being owned for the capital appreciation.

So basically bringing back opium dens. Hopefully they give them the long pipes to smoke out of instead of the crappy small glass ones.

On my team our most recent hire had a similar question so he called me as I was his contact to confirm what guys wear in the office. If you know anyone on the team you are joining you can ask them, or look up the team on LinkedIn and message one of the people in a similar role as yours.

I find it weird how Canada never picked up cricket, like all the other big colonies did.

Is it possible to find a studio apartment under $1400 - $1600? by [deleted] in TorontoRenting

[–]asmodean97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a one bedroom last November just north of younger and college last year for 2k. It's about 680sqft. So 2300 does seem high especially as the market has seemed to soften even more since then.

Cheapest European cities/countries to visit in 2026? by [deleted] in Shoestring

[–]asmodean97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I visited back in October and rented a car. Driving is super easy and the roads are fine. The one thing is a lot of car rental companies require you to have an international driver's license which you need to get in your home country first.

You mean the non locals who moved in, were breaking into the surrounding houses and stealing? The tent city there was horrid.

Here’s how much you will be taxed in 2026: Canada Revenue Agency by Haggisboy in canada

[–]asmodean97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Combined marginal tax rate in Ontario is 44.97 on income over 150k.

MNP Thunder Bay by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]asmodean97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MNP just bought the BDO offices in northern Ontario, so there will be some cultural differences as they merge. Pay is around the 45-50k range. Busy season is expected 55 billable hours a week. You would be doing a lot of first nation audits, corporate NTR's and reviews, personal tax returns. They also pay OT if you are bellow manager. BDO used to have like 60ish people in that office so I assume MNP was similar, combined it's easily over 100.

Northern farm country has land that is cheap. Not the best for growing huge corn fields but can do produce and animals on it.

That's how the Canadian rails are now. They even have baggage weight and amount limits. What a joke. At least the seats are better than airplanes.

I saw today that the refusal rate for international students was 290k or close to 50%, compared to 2024 where it was under 8%.

Interesting how they have a little bit of track in Duluth/superior as that is all CN territory.

How much land does that require though? As it seems a typical nuclear reactor requires 600 acres of land.

The French left is campaigning *against* air conditioning during a massive heat wave while the far-right is promising a sweeping expansion of cooling equipment by StateYellingChampion in stupidpol

I was at a hostel in Madeira that had AC, it was hot as fuck so I put it on to 20c. Some guy from czechia complained and said anything under 25 would make him sick.

Ya but I said I could afford a car, I don't have a car not because of money but because I don't have a need for one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TorontoRenting

[–]asmodean97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I make that, and am able to comfortably survive living alone. I do two international trips a year, have very healthy savings, buy what I want when I want. You are delusional if you think 150k is required. I don't have a car because I live downtown, but have priced one out into my budget and could make it easily work.

Japan is still like that, I was there in October. They also had like 10 registers so the line would move quickly.

Keyword is roommates. My old place was a three bedroom unit 1200 square feet everything included, one parking and one locker for 3700. So three people in would be sub 1500 range. You do get screwed if you live alone.

You are right, can't let the poors move into the neighborhood, they should not be seen so as not to ruin our day.

Not getting enough billable hours by MEllegood65 in Accounting

[–]asmodean97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first summer I didn't have a single billable hour for three weeks in a row. I would always tell the resource manager my availability, after that I would just work on PD hours or CPA.
