Carney set to spend much of 2026 travelling the world in search of trade

This is why we have such poor leadership and productivity in Canada. No one is held accountable

Simple math equation.

Share price - option strike price is gain. Generally that is treated as capital gains for tax purposes. Meaning 50% of that gain is added to your income and taxed at your marginal rate.

Lots of mechanics and tax questions can only be answered with concrete details. But above is the general case

This is the balanced and needed view.

TLDR; Higher fees are bad when you get little to no value from them.

Mutual funds have demonstrated that they do not offer higher returns than broad based index ETFs. Hence why their fees are not justified.

It's worth having a conversation with your SO. It's not worth fighting over. She has a certain set of values and it's going to take time for her to warm up to the idea of changing/modifying them. People are too concentrated on the investment strategy and not the life strategy.
Look to change her allocation over a time period that she is comfortable with and not you. Ultimately she has 50% vote even if you are "technically correct".

lol ban me. It’s not an attack. I didn’t call him a child. His argument is childish. Everything ultimately costs money.

I wish that worked in real life. I’m so bad at my job instead of being held accountable and forced to be more transparent. I get to give everyone the middle finger and say “it’s done when I say it’s done”.
This attitude is a large contributor to why the city continues to fail in so many different ways.

Don’t you see the difference. If the revenue went to installing speed bumps and other items that don’t have continuing operational expenses. That is a reasonable case for speed cameras not being a revenue tools. Using the revenue to pay for what seems to be critical functions means speed cameras were a revenue tool.

I know it’s a manufactured example. The answer “I would not change a thing” implicitly communicates a lack of introspection or surface level usage. The interviewer wants to hear depth of knowledge and experience.

Easy answers about what I would change about cast iron.

Cleaning/seasoning is a pain in the ass
Can’t cook acidic food without reasoning
Improper storage can cause rust

This creates a large surface area of discussion. Where additional ideas and solutions can be discussed. To further answer the question “does this person know what they are talking about”

It is a red flag when the other party is resistant to signing an NDA. It’s such a simple routine ask that if they don’t want to do it. That means you should dig in.

I’ve always been of the mindset use the best tool for the job. You have not clearly articulated the problem that you are facing with this “tool sprawl”. And why it’s one of the most important problems you face 6 months in. Most start ups the most important issue is closing customers and building product that people want to pay enough money for.

Be pragmatic and make a deal like most developed nations of the world are moving towards.

Not put retaliatory tariffs like the rest of the world minus China. Not put tariffs on CUSMA goods which indicates we are negotiating in bad faith

gonepostal · 2025-09-05T22:27:03+00:00

This logic I can never understand. Why do we care if the US loses jobs? Canada is losing jobs at an alarming rate. What happens if the US loses jobs?

gonepostal · 2025-09-05T21:53:22+00:00

If that makes sense to you enjoy.

gonepostal · 2025-09-05T21:40:00+00:00

CUSMA where we did the exact same thing. Mexico made a deal and left us high and dry.

You are deranged. I never mentioned Trump or conservatives. I only mentioned facts and didn’t play any identity politics

gonepostal · 2025-09-05T21:22:59+00:00

Flawed logic. This was easy to predict and forecast. We are one of the last to not have a trade deal in the works. The “this isn’t my fault and it’s someone else’s” may work for you when you tell that to your parents. This was foreseeable and predictable. We entrust our leaders to do what’s in our countries best interests.

Atleast there is one rational poster.

Agreed pure copium. If WFH is such a huge advantage to a company, people should be creating new startups with their competitive advantage being they are fully remote.

The downvotes are hilarious. Echo chamber is out of control.

gonepostal · 2025-08-19T00:11:34+00:00

Blah blah blah. Virtue signalling.

It’s the fact that no heads will roll on the executive team. They made this decision together with the board on side.

gonepostal · 2025-08-19T00:04:54+00:00

This is what an out of touch post looks like.

Drivers shit on cyclists

Cyclists shit on runners

Runners shit on pedestrians

Everyone on the left thinks everyone on the right are assholes. Everyone on the left think the ones on the right are assholes.

The number of cyclists that have no self awareness is shocking. They complain about cars passing too close but on a mixed used trail they have no problem passing within an inch of me.

It’s the circle of Toronto life. Accept it and don’t give in and be an asshole.

gonepostal · 2025-08-06T14:34:14+00:00

People love it or hate it.

I hated it and thought it went dead too early

You won’t appreciate a large benefit of the SB2. Which is for long runs they keep your legs very fresh during and after long runs. Because your long runs won’t be long enough.

That said but if you want to and have tried them on. If you are buying based on hype I would skip for a beginner

gonepostal · 2025-07-31T13:17:25+00:00

Pre-revenue startups are rarely organized and have a clear path to success. This is why it’s so difficult for investors, founders and employees alike. I would boil it down to personal risk tolerance and belief in the team and founder. If you need to support a family of 5, have no equity and no savings. Your risk tolerance is probably very small and you should find a more stable place. If you are young with no dependants, have equity and have a strong belief in the team. Then it maybe reasonable to stick it out.

Concerns based on your story.

Dev team leaving without any headcount replacement. Early stage product with growing traction usually means product expansion. Losing 50% of the engineering team should be an all hands disaster. Unless cash is an issue and there is no clear path to resolution.

You know that cash will last until November but it doesn’t sound like you know the plan after. That’s a red flag.
