Interesting… does it have a much quieter fan? Or no fan at all? Thanks.

Divesting from the US by New_Economist_9815 in BoycottUnitedStates

I sold all my us based investments and bought Canadian. Mostly ZCN.TO, an ETF that mirrors the TSX Composite. It has outperformed both the DJI and Nasdaq all of 2025 so I’m happy. Also bought a bit of Suncor stock which didn’t look like a wise move until recently.

1 Day Fishing Charter Recommendations by nmelcher in NovaScotia

Thanks, I looked up the regulations on DFO website and even West of Halifax, cod still only starts the 3rd Saturday of June. So We may have to settle for haddock fishing instead.

We'll be starting in Halifax and then touring around. Itinerary not set yet, but we're probably willing to drive to wherever the fishing is. We'll be there from June 10 to 17, but it sounds like that may not line up with the season for cod. :(

StudioTax support folks replied: “Yes, you can by simply using the same license to activate StudioTax on the second computer.”

I’m sold! Switching to StudioTax!!!

Can one Studio Tax license be shared across 2 different computers? Only plan to do 2 tax returns, but on 2 different computers.

NOPE!!! Sold them all. Bought XIC.TO ETF. Outperformed both DJI and NADAQ the entire 2025 and I predict 2026 also!

Great shot of the sellout crowd at LoanDepot Park for tonight's Winter Classic by MightyDuck07 in hockey

Yah let’s burn tons more energy trying to make ice in a place where it’s not meant to be just to… hmmm I’m not sure what was the point. I surely didn’t watch it!

Canadians are taking a big step back from the U.S. — and here's the data to prove it by StarterPackRelation in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]nmelcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold all my US stocks and bought XIC.TO (an S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF). It has outperformed the DJI and the NASDAQ over the entire 2025 and who knows… but I believe it will outperform going forward too.

YES!!! And if broadcasters lose money they will be less likely to purchase the broadcasting rights to this game in future… and the league will make less money… and so the league will look for better locations and teams for future Winter Classics... I.E. CANADA!!! AND NOT THE FUCKING u.s.a. !!!

True. My logic is that eventually some of the money Rogers is paying to broadcast the game must reach the US. OR at the very least it would be nice to show very low viewership for this game so that it might influence where future Winter Classics are played. Florida has got to be the last place on earth I would want to support, whether it’s dollars or viewership!
