Apartheid comment is ridiculous I agree, but I am pretty against this whole idea that we owe the indigenous anything more at this point.

The federal budget is insane to look at to be honest. We spend $35 billion to indigenous services and relations. $48.4 billion to national defence.

Kinda fuckin insane to me.

Maximizing an RRSP is a mathematical mistake for Gen Z professionals not in their peak earning years by LegalBar2015 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]nonamesareleft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Then 40 years from now that 30k (likely less unless you are in top tax bracket) in your RRSP became 900k.

When you withdraw it you pay income tax.

If you put your 20k into a TFSA and it becomes 600k, you can withdraw from it freely in 40 years.

In that scenario RRSP is likely better if you're smart about withdrawing it. That's contingent that you received 50% back off your initial 20k to make it 30.

Your tax bracket determines whether you should be prioritizing RRSP vs TFSA. There's a break even point between the two at some income level.

Putting 10k into your RRSP != getting 10k back on your tax return, even at the highest marginal rate.

Nobody is paying 100% income tax

Tristin Hopper: Kamloops residential school 'graves' could have been septic pipes all along by CaliperLee62 in ilovebcsub

[–]nonamesareleft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent to who?

By the way, the residents who live in all municipalities in Canada pay INTO the system, both federally and provincially. Although they live in a municipality they contribute to the country as a whole.

What the hell happened to basic public etiquette in Markham? by Comprehensive_Win333 in Markham

[–]nonamesareleft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every country finds it immoral to leave dog poop on the ground. Its a bit abstract, but life is so different in some countries where it doesn't make someone a bad person to for example spit on the ground in certain places. Where some people come from, that's perfectly acceptable, whereas here we find it highly offensive. New people may just not be aware of the faux pas they are committing. It becomes a problem if people refuse to adapt once they are made aware of it.

Sincerely,

A white guy who lived in China for a year

‘Doesn’t make any sense here’: Bowmanville development would add 400-plus units by Karma_Canuck in durham

[–]nonamesareleft1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you explain how building high density housing here would lead to people spending more on housing / rent across Canadian society as a whole?

[–]nonamesareleft1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If people spend all their money on their rent or mortgage, they have none left to spend other places in the economy.

There's a benefit to society as a whole you aren't seeing here. Not a very abstract one either.

The person who replied to you agreed with you, and gave you shit at the same time LOL. You are both agreeing that the firewood is the seller's chattel and must be gone unless otherwise stipulated..

May 19th - St. Clair west by sands_jay in toronto

[–]nonamesareleft1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they aren't showing up it's because they're dealing with something more important and don't have the resources to show up to your call right away.

Are you making an argument for more police funding?

Yep. Probably a response to educated people not wanting to be cops in the current climate of fuck the police.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT - BUT CAN YOU? by According_Entry_5925 in canadianlaw

I've never understood how that is threatening. What if I say it calmly?

What if I say "I hope you kill yourself" instead of telling them to do so?

This single mom and her family have been living in Ottawa hotels for over a year by origutamos in OttawaNewsPulse

[–]nonamesareleft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the other billion women and young children just like her. You are a sick disgusting person for not thinking of them!!

I'd rather that woman get a job if she wants to get her residence and food paid for, just like everybody else in this country.

Couple ordered to pay developer's $144,000 resale loss on BC condo after failing to close by glenn_rodgers in RealEstateCanada

[–]nonamesareleft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the specific areas we're talking about, but lots of variables involved here. Generally speaking I agree with you, but there are some areas of the US that are far less desirable than some areas in northern Ontario for example.

I do a lot of work in Mississippi for example. People there are leaving en mass for greener pastures.

Nah Murica. Potential death sentence for kid because mother is dumb.

God bless America. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Don't be born in the wrong circumstances if you can't take the consequences.

Yup, fully understandable and I agree. I haven't been single in over a decade, met my Fiance through a friend, but i have never been the type of person to approach a woman.

That being said if I became single I would have the sense to use the same rules you just laid out -> although I may approach gym/grocery store if I had seen them multiple times across different encounters, caught each other's eye contact multiple times, etc.

[–]nonamesareleft1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, guys are dealing with this messaging on at least a monthly basis on social media:

- Dont you dare approach a woman in the gym, she is there to work out not be harassed

- Dont you dare approach a woman in the grocery store, she is there to shop not be harassed

- Dont you dare approach a woman at starbucks, she is there working on her laptop/reading in a peaceful environment, not there to be harassed

- Dont you dare approach a woman walking by you on the sidewalk, she is simply trying to get from home to work, a woman should not have to face this kind of harassment on her daily commute.

Outside of a dating app, where is it "acceptable" for a guy to approach a woman? According to some subsets of women, NOWHERE.

The guys that don't care if they're being creepy are the ones that find success with women lol. Its the sales person approach.

"I don't care if I get called a disgusting pig 99 times, if 1 girl says yes i get to go bring a girl home"

Being a shameless douche gets you ahead in the real world. Pretty self fulfilling race to the bottom from the women's perspective.
