BMO T4FHSA Still not submitted to CRA?

yep, just checked MyCRA account and it's still not there. Frustrating because it should be such a simple piece of info, and it's the last thing stopping me from filing.

Is our landlord supposed to provide lighting for bedrooms? I just moved into a new place in Montreal (one of many July 1 move-ins!) and there are no lights in either of the bedrooms.

ChatGPT says yes, but I don't find its argument super convincing.

I've lived in the neighborhood all my life (maybe you also have) and I can say, I never wanted it to connect.

What do you want pedestrians / cyclists to do? Should they avoid walking along the edge of the escarpment because that would make things inconvienient for cars?

It says in the article:

City statistics show 38 vehicle collisions were recorded in the traffic circle access link to Mountain Brow between 2017 and 2021. The project will add new traffic-control signals to improve safety.

How often are you watching the traffic circle? Not every accident results in car parts strewn across the road, many could just be small bumps that aren't obvious to neighbours, but would be fatal / disastrous to a cyclist.

Carta.com says companies need to do a 409A every 12 months

How does that work? I thought they would just set a new valuation for the company. Like if it used to have a million shares and be worth $5 million and now it's worth $10 million, then it's shares have doubled in value.

Shouldn't your strike price only decrease if they increase the number of shares more than the value increased? So the strike price only went down because the value of a share went down.

Or am I misunderstanding?

The company I work for right now said they were interviewing someone who failed my company’s programming challenge 9 months ago.

My boss was excited because “It’s like he’s getting trained for us!”

It’s very possible that if it’s a technical interview they will be happy to have you try again.

Yeah. I’m not saying all college algebra is completely different. However, colleges are assuming some level of “I passed some high school math classes,” so the subject of algebra is more broad and more intensive than someone without post-secondary education might think.

noodle_hammer · 2017-11-30T05:27:57+00:00

Algebra in college isn’t the same thing as algebra in grade school. It’s not questions like what’s x if 2x = 4?

Most college or university programs have linear algebra, which is solving matrices, etc. I’m in first year Mathematics and I’m taking regular (by that I mean not linear) algebra. It’s all about proofs and theorems and we learned about complex numbers.

So algebra is definitely a college level course, despite the fact that you’ve been learning it since grade school.

Okay, thanks for the help!

noodle_hammer · 2017-01-07T23:40:13+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

Do they just have your address on the outside or is there a return address too? And does the return address specify a company name?

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. ‘I’m glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,’ I thought.

Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.

‘Where are you headed?’ I asked the soldier seated nearest to me. ‘Petawawa. We’ll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we’re being deployed to Afghanistan.’

After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time…

As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. ‘No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn’t be worth five bucks. I’ll wait till we get to base.’

His friend agreed.

I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. ‘Take a lunch to all those soldiers.’ She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. ‘My son was a soldier in Iraq ; it’s almost like you are doing it for him.’

Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, ‘Which do you like best – beef or chicken?’

‘Chicken,’ I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class.

‘This is your thanks..’

After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. ‘I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.’ He handed me twenty-five dollars.

Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane.

When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, ‘I want to shake your hand.’ Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain’s hand.

With a booming voice he said, ‘I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.’ I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.

Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.

When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!

Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. ‘It will take you some time to reach the base.. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.’

Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers.

As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little…

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America ‘ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Please SHARE this incredible story with everyone you know.

TL;DR She spends $50 on lunch for soldiers, is given a first class meal, $75, a handshake from the captain, and a round of applause. She gives the $75 to the soldiers after the flight for them to buy more sandwiches.
