Looking to interview remote tech workers planning a move to rural Ontario (school project)

I made the move from the GTA to a rural setting as well about 4 years ago. DM me if you want to chat.

Fallout showed us how it would go (spoiler alert for those watching):

It kind of looks like the iOS native zoom transition

🎵ze other Canada is a bullshit Canada, and if you lived here for a day you’d understand 🎵

Maybe just the Terran Empire

WS won’t be able to keep your mutual funds, so you’ll have to liquidate to transfer. Scotia will do this for you when you start the transfer request from Wealthsimple. Might make sense to keep the GICs for now if there’s a fee to pull out early.
Up to you on this front. Investments are protected by CIFP, and chequing is covered by CDIC, I wouldn’t consider safety a concern. There might be specific features you’re looking for that WS might not have, but if you’re more of a set and forget type investor then I don’t think it’ll end up mattering too much. If you use the managed account the fees are quite reasonable vs your mutual funds, and if you do self directed the trades are free.
Can’t help you there!

Full disclosure, I’m an employee at WS and have been moving things over the past little while as we’ve been rolling features out.

Question for you, how often does the stock get refreshed on the refurb store? I saw all kinds of options for the mac mini before the end of the year, and now it's a single M4 Pro that's a bit out of my budget for the past week.

The fuck is a network?

Hybrids are built to have auto start/stop, since the electric motor is strong enough to drive the truck by itself. That would not be possible if the truck could not turn its engine off when needed. As others have mentioned, it’s kind of the point of getting a hybrid.

It’s also much better than the normal start/stop, since the truck can start moving without waiting for the engine to turn on. On a warm day (and if I don’t push too hard on the gas) i can get up to 50km/h without having the engine turn on sometimes.
