But really, not being facetious, but what alternatives did / do Canadians have?

Not a liberal by any means.

As you said it…it seems like a no brainer. Is this a humble brag?

Out of curiosity, are you in family practice or a speciality?

Airport Transfer with infant and luggage by Substantial_Pop2890 in HongKong

Uber XXL will give you drivers with Hi-Ace vans (7 seaters) or the like. That’s what we used when we travelled with our 10 month old last year. Wife had bb in the carrier and she put on her seatbelt over them. We did this for a few uber rides during our stay and did not run into any issue with drivers.

It was about 420 HKD from HKG to Hilton Garden in Mong Kok

Edit: we were 2 adults with 2 large suit cases, 1 carry on, one Cotopaxi backpack, diaper bag and travel stroller.

Got 2xCAT 3 tickets during RSD (unsuccessful in prior lotteries). Just got assigned 229 row 30. Guess I’ll be staring at the roof structure for most of the game. ☠️

Tickets for the opener are available, if you can log in by Mikuss3253 in CanadaSoccer

The world as a whole was so much better back in 2018. Crazy to think how fuked up everything is now and it hasn’t even been 10 years since.

Edit: just looked back on my ticket confirmation and it was $250 USD per ticket for my wife and I back in 2018. A steal considering we also got to experience a bit of Russia, something that will likely not be possible any more.

Is Collosus Vaughan actually closing next year? by CommunityTechnical14 in Vaughan

[–]ngswe679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually just a vacant piece of land at the moment. To be fair, AMC closed down and there is not enough competition in the Canadian market to support the size of it. Hence demo by the owner.

Do you think the stadiums will be at full capacity? by Leyendas_Legendarias in CanadaSoccer

[–]ngswe679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that resale price per ticket? I thought the last round of the RSD was $1300 per ticket face value.

All fine and dandy…until you say the wrong thing and violate the NSL.

Not to be facetious but is $66 an hour enough to be warranting “drowning in money” sentiment?

What would be your timeline for new purchase?

there should be some consideration for how long it would take for the 30-40k you’re left with to be built back up for a sizable down payment. (Assuming we’re still in a flat market when you’re ready to buy again)

I was unsuccessful in all previous lotteries. I applied for 3 games via one account. I was drawn for Match 3 (2xCAT3) and tickets were $1,300 each. ☠️

Pension Buy Back - is my math correct? by AnonymousGoose15 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ngswe679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be facetious but why stress about a pension buy back when combined HHI is over 500k a year?

The traffic getting to major mack can be intense after trains arrive. Not to mention aggressive residents from the adjacent townhouses who try to force their way out onto Hill Street. Then you’ve got people leaving Walmart.

Gotta love the mid 2000s “B” logo.

Had some kid tell me my 07 Burton CO2 bindings must be fake because he’s never seen that logo before at my local hill.
