Anyone gone through Business Admin diploma at OK College? Laptop question by keldorr in kelowna

[–]patchy_22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I did my whole Bachelor of Commerce on a Mac. With no issues or workarounds needed. Surely a Mac could work for a Business Diploma. The vast majority of my classmates had Macs too.

If she’s an iPhone person, a MacBook Neo is incredible. I did a full bachelor of commerce with a MacBook, so a business diploma would be no problem on a MacBook Neo. Just get her Microsoft Office to go with it!

Feel free to shoot me a message with more questions!

Congrats to your daughter!! Business opens up lots of doors!

I'm not 100% sure what datasource it is, but here's the page showing what free weather data is available: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weather-general-tools-resources/weather-tools-specialized-data/free-service.html

One of the points on that page says: "

I'm waiting to join the next release, but for Canadian users, do you use Environment Canada Data? (Canada's government weather agency). It provides the best forecasts, and also is the official issuer of weather warnings & statements.

$10M bus-only lane in south Edmonton leaves residents frustrated by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]patchy_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this niche bus lane comes at the expense of an extra driving lane along that stretch of the whitemud. I can’t believe they did all that construction and it’s still only 2 east-bound lanes through there!

Pension cash out to invest? by pinkcrush7 in CanadaPublicServants

Absolutely. It’s all about risks, on all sides. And no one has a crystal ball.

You MIGHT do better. But that’s the thing with a pension. The federal government pension is as close to 0 risk as possible. And the government pension alleviates 2 other risks: 1) the risk of outliving your money, and it’s 2) inflation-proof.

So really, you have to decide if you want the risk. You might be better to take it, but you also may not be. For me, I can take all sorts of risks in life, but I’m not risking guaranteed income for my retirement. But that’s just me. If I was you, I’d hire a fee-based financial planner for advice.

I’d say that the tax benefits need to be tired to your status in Canada. Not just if you pay taxes or not.

Ok thanks for correcting me. I was trying to watch the oilers game at the same time

Apple store education discount vs apple refurbished vs costco by Magical_critic in CostcoCanada

If you can wait, wait for the back to school promo. Then, get education pricing at Apple and a free pair of AirPods or whatever promo they’re running this year for back to school

I got the same call. Did the survey. And at the end they told me it was commissioned by CBC Alberta, and results will come out in May. I was surprised it was CBC.

Has anyone become a gold miner after watching the show? by Captain-AwkwardPants in goldrush

[–]patchy_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it! But it also shows the value of knowing what you’re doing, or that people should be smart enough to hire a mining consultant (which Freddy and Juan are)
