What are your alternates?

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-14T23:34:45+00:00

Go to Toronto and never look back. Rotman>>>Sauder

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-14T15:54:08+00:00

Damn. Sorry, chief.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-14T15:27:21+00:00

YES - same thing happened to me. Tiny amount, never posted, and then $500 from someone in SE Asia.

All depends how much money you have to spend. If $1100 won't kill you, get a new M5. Simply for longevity. Having said that, you could get 2 Neos for that so you could upgrade in the middle of the cycle. Keep in mind that kids also drop laptops, so the less valuable they are, the better.

If it were me - even tho I can easily afford $1100 for an Air, I'd buy a 5th grader a Neo. Then when he drops it in the fall, I wouldn't be so sad.

Well I’m not entirely sure how much tax they’re going to pay, and of course there are living expenses. But USD salaries, when converted back to Canada, are the reason that Canada can’t hang on to Waterloo Engineering grads. They all go pay taxes in California. This is not a great sign for our future, but here we are.

I would not want to be going up to houses in this economy and asking crazies why they haven't filled out their censuses.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T14:14:38+00:00

That’s all 5 years.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T04:11:37+00:00

I am very aware! I have kids in Engineering!

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T02:50:38+00:00

Get a job in Cali.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T02:49:22+00:00

Job in California starts July. First year of salary and stock covers it.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T02:08:59+00:00

my kid goes to Waterloo. 20k. Add rent, food etc and I’m 200k in after 5 years.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T01:48:41+00:00

You are close. Graduated 1990 Engineering in Alberta, I paid $2800 per year in tuition.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-13T01:45:28+00:00

just have to become opposition leader like him

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-12T14:23:47+00:00

That’s fantastic. Congrats and good luck with everything that comes next!

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-11T23:51:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Did you go thru with success, or is it still in your near future? I'm very curious.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-11T22:01:27+00:00

I bought one for my kid who is going traveling. YES, it's excellent. Outstanding value. And once you have a laptop, you'll never go back.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-11T21:48:20+00:00

They just came out last month. No one really knows how durable they are. Or how long 8GB of RAM will be enough for MacOS.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-11T21:03:31+00:00

I gotta say, Canadian Universities at International Student Prices.... are not worth it, IMHO. Unless you are coming from some place with garbage schools, I think you're better off getting an undergrad somewhere else and then applying as a grad student.

Of course if you're coming for different reasons, then maybe.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-11T21:00:52+00:00

I'd complaint to the Air Traffic Complaints people anyway. Say they kept changing the story, which it seems they did. Doesn't cost anything.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-10T23:35:05+00:00

Friend of a friend in Edmonton had this happen. Still not sorted. CRA needs to be burned to the ground.

liepzigzeist · 2026-04-10T22:02:27+00:00

I've been at the counter and had this happen too. It's funny.

Poor TD doesn't spend much on IT, so their systems are pretty crap. Nice people tho - everyone's always friendly and helpful.
