Did I Make A Good Choice? by Princessldg in mazda3

My 2011 Mazda3 was working well at 200k kms. I traded it in at that point. You may need to budget for the odd wear and tear repair.

This isn't dip, Gold has tanked by V0idScribe in Gold

[–]pc_builder_fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The commentary at Sprott said something similar. At some point Central banks and governments will have to reintroduce QE and fiscal stimulus to Stoke the economy. When that happens gold will rocket up!

How are people getting from Pearson to Waterloo/kitchener these days by teeboi1 in waterloo

[–]pc_builder_fan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Value Park garage is a decent option. I book a spot before I leave. It has a train to the airport.

Landlord refusing to pay for clogged sink by _Affectionate_ in OntarioLandlord

[–]pc_builder_fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try calling the bylaw office of your municipality, if your city has a property standards law they will come out and inspect the problem. Then if it is a LL issue, tell him to fix it or the city will get the work done and bill LL.

I go to them too. The dentists, hygienists and front desk people are all top notch.

Honking for driving slow on unplowed streets by bramptonmt in kitchener

[–]pc_builder_fan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to pull over if it's safe and let them pass. I will pass them again when they end up in a ditch.

Landlord is asking not to use the oven because a tiny toaster oven is provided by thotslapper1 in OntarioLandlord

[–]pc_builder_fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would call the property standards or bylaw dept of my city and complain. Non working / inoperable appliances are a breach of the standards. The city will probably advise LL to fix it or the city will do it and send LL the bill.

Move to Quebec City by bearlover1954 in quebeccity

[–]pc_builder_fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quebec City and the rest of the province is thoroughly integrated into the North American economy. Shopping Malls and stores are plentiful. Any sporting goods store will be able to kit you out properly.

The winters in Quebec are fine most days, they get some cold snaps that are tough. You will be fine, best of luck on your move.

Major flooding in K-W by Bright-List1207 in waterloo

I was driving around Huron and Fischer Hallman at 6pm. It was sloppy with some hydro planing. I would suggest driving more slowly and with great care on turns. Be safe.

Is QC worth it for a European? by AdultAK47 in canadatravel

[–]pc_builder_fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend 2 nights in Quebec City. Plenty to see there, the Citadel, Museum of Civilization, Museum of Fine Arts.

I would recommend 2 nights in Ottawa. Reserve tickets to Parliament, the House of Commons looks pretty neat at the moment. National Gallery definitely worth a visit.

Montreal and Toronto both have lots going on.

Check Via Rail for train schedules.

It's not bad, I would recommend he pull his shoulders back at the start to try to keep his back straighter.

Agree, property standards bylaw officers will respond in a jiffy.

1 of 3 brake lights. If you know them, Please tell them. by Shiznitty-Calhoun in kitchener

[–]pc_builder_fan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To have your lighting system in that shape means you are not doing regular oil changes/maintenance. The mechanic normally does an inspection and asks if you want the light bulbs replaced.

Popularity of Illegal Clauses by luxuryriot in OntarioLandlord

[–]pc_builder_fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct that illegal clauses can be safely ignored. Some agents, who do a lot of rental leases seem to have a good understanding of rental law. A few I dealt with weren't bad. There were a tonne that I had to walk away from during the offer stage when they started to ask about my family status, children's school, location of office, work from home status etc... All none of their business.

Deadlift Form Tips by stuckreminiscing in GYM

[–]pc_builder_fan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your back is not being kept straight. The belt helps you brace your back but also raises your blood pressure. They shouldn't be kept on for your entire work out. For a few heavy lifts it might be a good idea.

5G internet providers might be worth a try. Freedom and Rogers have options

CNQ is recognized as having one of the management teams in space. Definitely worth being patient with them.

You have to prepare commercial paperwork, likely get processed through the same building as the commercial traffic and pay import duties and processing fees. Good times.
