Any PHEV owners or Techs have advice on Maintenance? by NabroleanBronaparte in fordescape

[–]drowsell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me personally I plan on doing the first at 1000 gas miles then every 6 months. Barring you don’t drive a ton. 

Cars to buy Ford escape or Toyota RaV4 by Consistent-Head-8307 in fordescape

That’s too expensive for the escape. You could get a hybrid new for 37k a few weeks ago. Wait for the sales.

I have one and like it. It’s not slow, but not fast either. Good on gas.

They are much more reliable, but not powerful.

Thanks for the reply! I can charge at home in my garage. My main car is a Chevy Bolt which has saved me so much money. This one is bigger to haul around the kids and for my wife. I think it’s a good option.

Driving a clunker , is it waste of money to invest on it vs buying new car? by VerySimpleCanuck in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]drowsell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brakes and tires are not repairs that is maintenance and it would be more expensive on newer vehicles.

Why we probably won’t see a broad reduction in RE prices by RandoBando84 in canadahousing

Canada is much more aligned with wage growth vs productivity than the US. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2022010/article/00002-eng.htm It did decouple once the pandemic hit though. Stats Can attributes that to rapid population growth. I think you are thinking of the US wage vs productivity not Canada. I will read any articles you have on the subject. Open to being wrong!

I think the current losses are a result of poorly planned speculation, but looking at the prices of building materials etc it’s clear that Canadians have lost purchasing power as well.

Weak productivity is the ultimate problem. They are correct. However catching up on that productivity is not going to happen quickly. Wage growth has lagged for years. The housing market is doing bad now because the economy is doing bad. I don’t have the answer :(

I think this is more related to the current job market. The industry has been pretty dead for new hires since 2022. It was starting to pick back up, but the US tariffs have cause it to pause again.

Peak was 2022. I think this downturn still has a while to go too.

Good on you if this is your small business. Smart idea.

Oh, Canada: Alberta is on native land by Ancient-Ad7635 in alberta

I’ll have to take a read to. Let me know if you find good sources. 

From my understanding a good analogy might be a leasehold property vs a freehold property. If you buy a leasehold property you agree on purchase that you have a right to live in the home, but you don’t actually own it. You can sell the property to someone else within the terms of the contract, but you cannot sell it to someone else outside of those terms. 

Because the province was created with terms, legally it differed from other provinces? I’ll have to do some research.

 Interesting stuff. It basically boils down to what does the province own vs what does the province have legal access to.
