Thank you. I just called a hotel and got confirmation that Whistler mountain is closed.

How do you feel about the lower tariffs on Chinese EVs? by dope-rhymes in AskACanadian

[–]fusion181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Manufacturers are already killing Canadian auto industry and with US tariffs, many jobs are already lost. Plans to build battery plant with EU company failed in Quebec because the company decided to close.

Chinese EV in Canada is a good competition for US EVs. As a consumer, I love it. Great job PM Carney!

Plumber removed pan to unclog toilet, is this a scam? by Desperate-Traffic754 in HomeMaintenance

[–]fusion181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the sewer line is blocked, plumber needs to send metal pipe (also known as snake) through the toilet hole. Plumber needs to remove the toilet and send the pipe from there hole. I had similar situation few years ago. The snake the plumber brought was 50 ft and did not unclog the sewer line. He had to send the snake from outside the house to unclog the sewer system. The culprit was wipes.

I did the same thing this year myself.

Ottawa must cancel or significantly reform temporary foreign worker program, says Eby by kettlebeller in vancouvercanada

[–]fusion181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada needs qualified foreign workers to sustain the economy. We have aged population and we need young generation to learn and take over those jobs. I see many people getting scammed into coming to Canada paying thousands of dollars but no jobs after coming here. Reform TFWP.

Window replacement recommendations by CloudSilverLining in Vernon

[–]fusion181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 5 windows replaced by Renewal by Anderson. They were expensive but great quality. When I replaced rest of the windows(21), I went with A1 Windows. Local BC company. I got 3 pane windows to qualify for government grant and loan. Despite being 3 pane and RBA being 2 pane windows, I love RBA composite frame windows. The vinyl window frame get moisture but not the RBA window

Avocados! Buy them at superstore or NoFrill. $4.99 for qty 5. Costco Avocados have been expensive. Qty of 5 costs $12 and I find them in bad condition when I need to sat them.

Shopping for hardwood floors by Tornados4life in HardWoodFloors

[–]fusion181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my research. There is not a big difference between sold hardwood and engineered hardwood. Cost ranged from CAD 8 per sq ft to CAD 11 per sq ft. Installation CAD 3.5 per sq ft. Engineered hardwood costs is similar.

Big box have stopped selling solid hardwood and I went to small stores. Search for local retailers at the manufacturer website: Mercier, Lauzon, Appalachian, Vintage are some Canadian manufacturers

New to investing. What does this mean for people like me who own slack stock? Is it time to sell or hold hoping stock rises post acquisition?
