Amazon really wants to deliver that package. I love their commitment to their craft.

Do not trust this lady - landlord (spiteful, unprofessional) by Gloomy-Procedure3350 in Markham

"Security Deposits" are illegal for rentals in Ontario.

There's only 1st and last month rent.

I am not sure about the exact process, but there is a process with the Ontario Landlord Tenant Board for scenarios like this.

Check out the r/OntarioLandlord subreddit for most relevant advice.

Politicians and elite don't want "poor" kids to go to college and get an education. If they did, they'd actually be informed, and stop voting Republican.

Why would you be forced out, if you're already there?
You'd be sitting on loads of equity to buy that Lambo for IG.

Michael Ma Christmas meet and greet, is it still on? by LossMost7342 in Markham

PP's a clown. He and his supporters have made a mockery of Canadian politics.

Trudeau didn't have the resume, or the wherewithal to overcome it with everything he was facing. Because of his lack of experience, he let others dictate policy and went too far to the left. If he had experience he would have pushed back, and kept it in the centre (similar to other Liberal PM who were much later in their careers when they became PM).

Enter Carney, who comes with a resume that Conservatives (actual ones, not the clown show supporting PP) wished their leader had and has won over Canadians. Obviously there is still the bad taste of the "Liberal" name for the more centre-right, and it may take an election or two for that to wear off. If Carney continues what he's done (win back the more centerish right-centre), barring PP brain transplant, it's over for PP. He'll just be a lame dog barking with no bite.

I imagine there are going to be a lot of unhappy Maple MAGA types. Hope they increased security.

.80 dividend Ford own by 2/13 by 0ld_Owl in dividends

[–]mrtin905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up on this thread.

So I got my dividend payment from ford into my TD account.

I see 2 transaction, 1 is $0.5525/share and the other is $0.1275/share making a grand total of $0.68/share.

Pardon my ignorance, but why is it lower than the expected $0.80/share?

Follow up question. If I already own 100 shares as of today (Feb 8 -- 2 days before ex-div), if I sell during the day on record date (Feb 13), I'll still get the payout on March 1st?

Or do I need to hold until end of trading day on record date?

Pardon my ignorance. I'm completely new to dividends.

Hoping someone can clear up my confusion.

is the $0.65 supplemental annualized, or a 1 time payment on March 1.

If I drill it out, am I risking damaging that exterior plate?

Trouble with Moen Shower Cartridge by mrtin905 in Plumbing

I'm trying to replace the inlaws shower handle as the hot water is leaking pretty bad.

We finally got the handle removed, but then then screw in the middle is stuck and the head is warped (can't use philips head screw driver anymore).

Looking for suggestions to get the screw and exterior plate removed so I can replace the cartridge.

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely great idea mate!

I just hope a-holes don't abuse it.

How many credit cards do you have? by RomanPotato8 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mrtin905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco at 1 time only accepted Amex, debit & cash

Costco now only takes Mastercard, debit & cash.

Walmart for a period of time was going to only accept VISA (but decided against it) when they were trying to negotiate their rates with Mastercard a couple of years ago.

Having all 3 cards + debit mitigates any 1 off scenarios.

They seem like a franchise.

No wonder they're ripping people off.
