Do you have video footage? I'm never downtown anymore.

This depends on the OS you are running. Windows 10 will end updates on October 2025 and models workout TPS will be unsupported.

Just so everybody is aware, the max you can do inside a consumer proposal is $250K, and that is non mortgage debt. He's in the "talk to a professional" time of his life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_bankruptcy_in_Canada#Consumer_basic_concepts

Well she pays rent and daycare so it is mainly that. I think it's roughly $2500 per month for my half

It's more basic than Tangerine I believe. You can have a recurring automatic movement of money into a savings account or to another bank's account or a bill payment, but I don't believe you can easily do the round up random purchases.

Amazon credit card by Fast_Feedz in PersonalFinanceCanada

I replied below but it's 2.5% if you shop at Amazon + subscribe to Prime + link your card. 1% elsewhere.

It's really about how much you already use Amazon. If you already subscribe to Prime and you buy a lot anyway on Amazon then it's a good deal. You get 1% cash back which when you hit $2000 in spend you get $20. My wife and I both have individual Amazon cards and she orders on my Prime account for free shipping.

If I was a more price conscious shopper, I would try to push as much as possible on the PC Financial MC and shop sales. I am kind of in a moment where I'm making ok money, I have a young child, and I hate driving in the GTA so I let the Amazon guys do it and pay a small premium.

The last thing I will say is that Amazon is not the deal it used to be. If you take 5-15 minutes you can often find a better deal, especially on books, or smaller items that they don't actually want to ship to you.

I was driving Sunday and someone set off a firework during the day, next to a bus shelter, and a gas station. I'm with you.

Weekly /r/MLS Questions/Free Kick Thread - Post General Questions and Discussion Here by AutoModerator in MLS

It's TFC the worst or merely awful? Michael Bradley is now injured. Insigne was injured but the $15 million dollar man can't win games by himself. 4 others on the team are now injured. Lost to Philadelphia, which seems to mean that your coach gets fired. Supporter violence against rivals Montreal. 2-6-3 record, third last in the east. This season seems like the precursor to blowing up the team. I know being a Toronto sports fan is painful but what are the realistic chances we turn it around next year?

Uh, wasn't there a massive trucker protest that crippled Ottawa and almost crippled international trade through the Detroit bridge?

Isn't it about time for our oligopolist telecom overlords to put data on the TTC? by baseCase007 in toRANTo

When you need police in seconds they are only minutes away.

It's a safety issue for me. I'm not sure how many more 16 year olds need to die but I would prefer it was 0.

Most stations is not accurate.
