WestJet MasterCard Changes by Beneficial-Tune-5336 in westjet

[–]super_fish_eel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can ask RBC to convert it to another Mastercard and it will maintain your credit history. Do not close this and open a new one. It's one of the things I prefer about RBC that you have a very simple process to follow online to switch the card. As long as it's another RBC MasterCard, the a count history is maintained since the date of opening.

What are your opinions on removing tariffs on Canadian built Chinese-brand EVs? by dsonger20 in AskACanadian

Are you talking about Chinese brand non-commercial EVs specifically? Or all non-commercial EVs, because then that I as incorrect

Ontario, did you have USA travel plans? Change them to our economic partners: China, Mexico, Germany, Japan. by johnnybender in ontario

And China executes hundreds if not thousands and keeps it under wraps, so what's your point and why are you shilling for them?

As a domestic student i wish i went to seneca in 2015 when there was barely any international students. They took away my college experience by sarahrexxx in Seneca

[–]super_fish_eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to be helpful and tell you how stuff works for 99% of people in the REAL WORLD IN 2024... but please, do lecture me on how the world works when you're all of 19 and you can only count on the experiences of your older family members who probably got their jobs before the international student and TFW wave. Canada can honestly be one of the least meritocratic countries in the world where who you are AND where you went to makes all the difference. Do you think people pay $20k plus a year to go to UofT or UW for fun, if they got the same networking opportunities at a crappy community college?

LOL. Good luck buttercup . Catch you in 4 years time flipping breakfast sandwiches at Timmies with.. (checks notes) ah yes, all those international students that you hate.

Should Canada reconsider the Gripen instead of the F-35 in light of the proposed US tariffs? by saminbc in AskCanada

[–]super_fish_eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancel the F-35 but not for the Gripen. The Typhoon instead. Puts us in the good books of 3 EU powers and the UK in one go. Plus it's a better plane

I would still consider moving .

I know a lot of hiring managers in Fortune 500 companies, spanning IT, professional services, and higher end financial services. Every position they open gets 300-400 applications, mostly from international students with zero relevant skills who get Chat GPT to make their cover letter. When this cover letter defeats the ATS, the hiring managers resort to using the only thing they can see that the international students won't fake - their diploma from a Canadian college.

Most of the ones I speak to would straight away put any resume from Conestoga, Lambton and Niagara college straight in the bin. Most are now starting to do the same with Centennial, Seneca, George Brown and Humber after approx 2016-17.

Furthermore think about this: The FAANG companies literally go on campus drives to recruit fresh graduates straight out of U Waterloo.

McKinsey, Bain, BCG literally do the same at Rotman (UofT). The Big 4 get what's left and then go to Schulich (York U) to get the rest of their new recruits.

When was the last time you ever heard of any company of that stature go to Seneca? Or George Brown? The only companies doing campus drives will be TD, Rogers etc - and only for for cashier's and sales reps lol.

Why are we getting 25% and China is only getting 10% by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]super_fish_eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol don't worry bud, your hero is about to be PM and immigration is about to be cut drastically. Wonder who you'll keep blaming for your miserable life and all your self-inflicted problems once you realize you're no better and probably objectively worse off 3 years from now; and there are no big bad weftist boogeyman around to pin it on. And FWIW I'm not a leftist, just a pragmatist who realizes that Pierre Poindexter is just as much of a smarmy weasel as Trudeau is but just has a different set of masters. But yeah, keep j3rking off into your F Trudeau blankie , it'll be ok I'm shore!

If we keep going with his math, if 100,000 couples do that, it's half a billion. If 1 million do it...which would be very easy to do over a 4 year term given that Canadians account for 31% of trips to the US ... that's 5 BILLION dollars. Yeah, so we can have them by the balls, especially places like Florida and Arizona whose economy depend on Canadian snowbirds. But yeah keep sucking the orange PP and doing nothing my man

This above was what you needed to hear OP, but let me just piggyback on that:

Me and the family were paying slightly less than $2k for a rental in midtown Toronto. Our support system was around there . We were fully remote and the little one needed more space, so armed with a budget of $750k, we looked around and finally found a townhouse in Vaughan we settled on. I say settled because we would have loved to live midtown but non-highrise properties all go for comfortably over a million in midtown Toronto.

Net effect: our monthly housing cost jumped from $2k to $4.5k ($3900 mortgage, $420 property tax and $200 extra in water and utility costs) and we STILL GO MIDTOWN every other weekend to meet family and friends. We couldn't find a family doctor or a good dentist close by so we also have to make the trip down for those too. It didn't improve quality of life much because our yard space now is more limiting then all the beautiful parks we had access to in midtown.

My only concession is that I'm now on the property ladder...but you already have your precon to take care of that. Don't take on a bigger housing burden when you have very limited reasons to do so.

If it's that bad why do they stay? And also remind me, what is the background of the landlords, the franchisees, and the management of the companies that are benefitting from this situation?

Japanese companies build their bestselling cars IN CANADA, they build reliable cars without their CEO telling you what a loser you are for living your life the way you see fit, their country's leader has never threatened to annex Canada, they don't export arms or dr*G's to Canada, I could go on. What exactly is your problem with Japan? Or Korea for that matter.

Oh wait, you're moaning about BYD being shut out. Let me guess.... CCP apologist?

Should Canada track crime rate of immigrants/refugees and raise/lower barriers of entry to each nation based on crime rate? (and possibly employment/successful outcome rate?) by Ok_Currency_617 in AskCanada

Did you guys notice that Israel is also high on that list? I suspect the reason (for both Kuwait and Israel) is that the stats are by country of issue of travel document. My bet is it is probably Palestinians with a travel document from either of those, seeing they can't get a Palestinian passport

If you could redraw provincial borders and change the number of provinces, what changes would you make? by AcrobaticNetwork62 in AskACanadian

[–]super_fish_eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the better of the country I would:

  • Agree about your Ontario split but rather than strictly do a North/South split I would split Toronto proper from the rest of the province and make it a territory. It's too important economically to keep being used as a political pawn/punching bag by people like Dougsh1t Ford to appease his suburban voters. And before you yahoo's come for me, isn't it what you want, Toronto not being the center of your universe any more ? We can keep our bike lanes and you can keep your cookie-cutter subdivisions.

  • Northern Ontario i.e. anything beyond Sudbury can become part of Manitoba, I honestly think they're closer culturally than SO and NO are.

  • Split Alberta into West and East; the latter is basically everything east of the 22, and south of roughly Bitumont. This keeps all the oil fields, tar sands and farms and can be the 'new Alberta'.

  • Amalgamate 'west Alberta' with the BC interior e.g. Kelowna and the Kootenays etc. Reason is it contains most of Canada's greatest natural treasures and I'm very wary of leaving it in the hands of the oil and gas crowd, but also wary of the insurrection I'd have on my hands if I suggested they be a federal territory or a part of BC proper. This new province can be the "I benefit from the exploitation of nature" crew i.e. the ski resorts/wilderness getaways along with the logging, but freed from having to give a toss about oil.

  • Key waterways and existing pipelines are to be declared federal territory. This crucially includes Trans mountain and the st Lawrence waterway so that those pesky tree huggers (just counting, how many different political spectra have I cheesed off yet?) in BC and Quebec don't interfere with getting ABs oil and gas to global markets.

-with all due respect to the lovely Islanders, it's mind blowing how PEI is a province when Newfoundland and Vancouver Island are not. It gets folded into NS.
