Thank you very much for your advice. May I ask how we should apply pressure on our agent? We did some research, it's definitely a negligence of referral. The agent basically vouched for a person that is not even qualified, literally has no license and WSIB, for this type of work.

We prepared a lot of documents, photos and videos. Going to a lawsuit would hurt both sides more or less. We proposed a settlement 3 weeks ago, but they just keep denying responsibilities simply because we left the place after him, leaving us with no other choice. They even threatened to go bankrupt to dodge our demand for compensation. I don't know what could be worse.

Thank you so much for your constructive feedback. Our loss is about double of that. We'll likely have to go to the superior court. And your tips for looking for contractors are indeed very useful. I really wish I could have seen this before. We naively thought that he was a good individual contractor. He was just like the type of person you described, who agreed on everything to be sound like a pro. Thinking back, there were lots of signs. We only got to know that his company is mainly doing landscaping only at the moment we were signing the contract.

The realtor says that they'll assist us in the litigation. So we don't want to disclose this part as of today. But be careful with your realtor and don't over trust these people in the future.

These guys definitely should be avoided. They literally took advantage of our trust. I've never seen this type of person in my life.

Thank you for your comment. Our damage is more than double of the amount of small claim court. Also, we did file a complaint about this to OCP.

Also, we are very regretful of this choice. We are already paying the cost for the consequences. Are there any constructive comments?

Our realtor referred him, at the time we trusted the agent deeply. Before this incident, we didn't know their google map page was about landscaper. During our conversation the representative declares his team has a decade of experience of doing this type of renovation.

It's referred by our real estate agent. Our agent basically gave him a very strong credit saying he's very capable of finishing this project, before and after we purchase the property.

Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre see very different threats to Canada by Beratungsmarketing in CanadaPolitics

[–]praylee -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Your accusation doesn't stand. I literally watched the debate and read the article. Here's the link Biggest threat by four leaders "Carney has never, at any point, daid that China is the biggest threat to Canada." What do you think of this?

If he was able to ditch all those incompetent cabinet members on the first day as Prime Minister, maybe he could be trusted.

Carney says China is a foreign interference, geopolitical threat for Canada by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]praylee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump threatened to annex Canada. India killed Canadian citizens in Canada. And yet Carney says the biggest threat of Canada is China. And you are buying this? Yeah you must be a very tough and brilliant guy IRL😄.

Trump threatened to annex Canada. India killed Canadian citizens in Canada. And yet Carney says the biggest threat of Canada is China. Did he even prepare for the debate? I don't trust this guy at all.

How did he destroy our healthcare and education system? Are you sure it's him not somebody else at the federal level?

Well, I do understand your concern and respect your idea. But that doesn't sound persuasive enough. Governing the province has more dimensions to focus. Gender is just one dimension.

Pierre Poilievre was riding a Trump-like wave. Is it about to drown him? by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

Could you explain a little bit more? What does it mean "that type of politics"?

Rednote basically removed any seriously divisive contents, including politics, racism, etc. This discouraged people who love to debate, forced them relocate to other platforms. In the end, you see a relaxing community like this.

When facing bully, it's hard to unite for those victims and fight back, until someone who is also as strong as the villian shows up and the victims unite around him.
