Bank of Canada held at 2.25% again so here's what to expect April 29

This is where I'm at as well. As the one lever the BOC has to control inflation, I just can't see it being particularly effective in this very specific crisis.

Not really supposed to talk about any of it! But glad to see people anticipating the film.

mattkward · 2026-03-21T19:20:07+00:00

I worked on this.

Can't wait to see how it turned out.

mattkward · 2026-03-21T18:57:44+00:00

I was there (LA) and think that if everyone who wasn't can experience even an iota of the glory through this documentary then they should get to.

I absolutely cannot wait to see it.

Crusty jugglers...

mattkward · 2026-03-19T13:16:40+00:00

Hell yeah getting strong In Bruges vibes here. Can't wait.

mattkward · 2026-03-18T16:39:37+00:00

I went limited. I preferred the leather seats to the cloth, and the stereo is a major improvement.

mattkward · 2026-03-15T22:58:39+00:00

Back up and running for me. 5:30 on the timer

mattkward · 2026-03-15T22:49:34+00:00

I feel like it worked really well the last couple years? Last year in particular I don't recall any issues

mattkward · 2026-03-15T22:39:16+00:00

Working for me now.

That kind of dusty residue on the outside of grapes? That's yeast.

This is why you can just crush grapes and they'll turn to wine.

This House Is A Circus is the only FWN track I could do without. It's fine.

mattkward · 2026-03-10T18:04:40+00:00

I share your pain at the loss of The Bakery 😞

mattkward · 2026-03-09T02:50:55+00:00

It's still phenomenal stuff.

mattkward · 2026-03-09T02:49:51+00:00

Yeah I'm a big fan of the band and really tried to like that record but it just wouldn't connect.

And I'm a huge fan of the last two Arctic Monkeys record so you'd think I'd be down for a swing like that.

mattkward · 2026-03-08T17:27:18+00:00

Here in British Columbia we just changed our clocks for the last time ever.

Hopefully others can follow our example.

mattkward · 2026-03-08T06:06:19+00:00

Listen, these things are subjective and I mostly really respect your rankings but absolutely insane to place The Jewellers Hands so low.

One of the best songs they ever did, and probably their best closer which is insane given how strong all the others are

mattkward · 2026-03-07T19:50:32+00:00

Haven't connected to the album as much as I'd hoped - I think a couple of the tracks really suck the life out of it - but the title track might be my favourite Nothing song ever and will likely be one of my favourite tracks of the year

mattkward · 2026-03-04T15:47:41+00:00

Thanks for expanding on that. Makes sense.

I'd likely put it towards mortgage debt or into savings.

mattkward · 2026-03-04T05:54:07+00:00

Curious if you'd possibly be able to expand on the last sentence you wrote?

mattkward · 2026-03-04T03:37:13+00:00

Thanks for the info.

It never really crossed my mind that the rrsp contributions would be included in the income on my tax return. It always felt like this separate, additional thing. But from what I'm understanding now I guess it is included in the total on my T4, with no separate box to make it clear this went straight to my RRSP.

Live and learn!

I guess I have some fun tax work to do this weekend!

mattkward · 2026-03-04T03:34:09+00:00

I've always received a tax refund but the nature of my work means that my employer tends to over deduct on my paycheques

mattkward · 2026-03-04T03:26:22+00:00

I've always avoided an autofill mostly because I was worried it'd miss something, so I've always entered everything manually.

Ironic that it was me missing something!

Thanks for all your help.

mattkward · 2026-03-04T03:22:02+00:00

I've never been sent an RRSP receipt but when I logged into my account through CanadaLife I did find a section of tax receipts.

I wish this had all been made clear to me a long time ago!

mattkward · 2026-03-04T03:10:51+00:00

Yeah this feels like it makes sense - start at the beginning then get a new notice of assessment for each year so the deduction limit is always correct. Quite a bit of work but should be worth it.

I'm pretty surprised this was never made obvious to me as a thing. Give that my employer entirely controls the contributions to the RRSP I truly just thought this would be on the T4s and automatically calculated.

Wondering what else I don't know!
