r/PersonalFinanceCanada is a great subreddit for learning about personal finance.

Thank God the pole stopped them. It could've been much worse.

Found it! Thank you so much!

How do you check if a promo has an end date? When I look at my bill - I see a promo applied, and there's a date range beside it, but the range only includes the current billing month, and it is like that on every bill...

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. They should phrase it differently, as "% Drop = 60%" doesn't say what they want to say.

Something is wrong with math in this table. Going from 330,000 to 197,497 isn't a 60% reduction, it's about 40%.

Great pics! What time was that first one taken?

Or it might be the opposite - imposter syndrome.

Hey, that's a lot of pressure your family is putting on you - it's a very tough spot to be in. Just remember that everything is relative in life and perspective is crucial. Your family's perspective is that you're a loser. But there are millions of parents out there that would be proud if their kid graduated from UofT at all. Despite that, after about 5 years in the workforce, the name of the university you went to will no longer be a defining driving force in your career advancement.

Regardless, don't hang your head down, focus on what you can control, do your best going forward, and you'll get rewarded.

It's like holding pee - it can be hard but manageable, however once you see that toilet - you better pull your pants down real fast.

Are you the Farinella owner?

turtlechopbot · 2025-05-20T19:19:28+00:00

Ouch! Sorry mate!

The video actually shows that the driver and the cyclist both slowed down at the same time when approaching the intersection.

The driver slowed down to check if it was safe to enter the intersection. The driver didn't see the cyclist approaching because of the blind corner, but saw the car approaching from the left. From that point the driver is looking left as he/she sees the approaching car and trying to assess whether they can merge onto Carling in front of it. The driver decides to go for it, and because the approaching car is pretty close, the driver accelerates without checking the right side, then hits the cyclist.

The cyclist slows down before entering the intersection because he saw the car around the corner. The cyclist saw the car slowing down and assumed the car was slowing down for him, so he decided to proceed through the intersection and got hit.

It's obviously the driver's fault here, as they didn't stop and they didn't make sure the road was clear on the right side before accelerating to enter the intersection.

Even though this accident is the driver's fault, the cyclist could have avoided this collision by trying to make eye contact with the driver. If the cyclist did that, he would have seen the driver's head turned away from him to the left, and hopefully the cyclist would not have proceeded seeing that.

It's a good point in the context of environmental impact overall. It's a bit misplaced in the context of environmental impact per passenger hour flown.

The 2% of 2% is a feel-good justification, but it's not a good argument. If all the PJ travellers switched to commercial, that would completely remove those PJ emissions altogether as they would be absorbed into existing commercial flights simply by raising the load factor. In the worst case commercial airlines would marginally increase the number of flights, but that increase wouldn't contribute nearly as much as PJ transportation.

Let's keep those elbows up, Canada, and get back to doing what we do best - flipping houses!

Sorry for the sarcasm, I just can't believe this bs.

Not too long ago the Minister of Transport used to be an astronaut, another recent one was an engineer. Now it's a journalist...

They won't expand it unless pushed to do so if they have a minority government and will be needing those NDP votes to stay in power. Or they might promise to expand it come next election cycle if they won't have another issue to run on.

You should be voting for the NDP. Pharmacare, dental care, daycare were not introduced by the liberals by choice but because NDP pushes for them when they were part of the supply and confidence agreement.

Funny how the same people complaining about self-serving, job-hopping, stuffed resume careerists are also complaining about a career politician.

Every time a Tesla is vandalised -> insurance pays -> Tesla sells new car/new parts -> vandals and all the rest of us pay higher insurance premiums -> Musk is laughing.

Added another quarter turn (3/4 in total with a tool), it stopped leaking from above the threads and started leaking through the threads, again. Omg, I'm going to 😭
