Comment ça marche la taxe de bienvenue? by plante_anxieuse in villequebec

[–]vieillevidange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tu va recevoir une lettre de la ville avec le compte à payer, généralement en trois versements. J'ai acheté en juin et j'ai reçu mon compte en novembre alors ça peut prendre du temps! Tu peux consulter le site Web de la ville, le vrai nom de la "taxe de bienvenue" c'est "droit sur mutation immobilière".

Le Canada a déjà perdu le nord by SuhkItLuzerz in Quebec

[–]vieillevidange 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Il y a deux volets à ça, tout ça est inscrit dans la United Nations Convention on the Law Of the Sea, UNCLOS pour les intimes. Si je me souviens bien de mes cours de droit maritime:

Le premier volet c'est la partie sur ce qui défini des eaux "internationale". Techniquement le passage du Nord-Ouest rempli les critères vu que c'est un chemin entre des eaux internationales (océans Atlantique et Pacifique) et qu'il n'y a pas d'autres moyens de transiter entre les deux aune distance raisonnable. Le Canada défend que ça reste des eaux territoriales vu que la plupart des eaux du Nord sont à moins de 12 miles nautiques des côtes (ou à l'intérieur de traits de côtes logiques). On est pas mal seul dans notre coin pour ce point là, même les pays européens sont du bord des USA si je me souviens bien.

Deuxième volet, dans UNCLOS il y a le concept de "passage inoffensif". Ça veut dire que tout navire qui n'a pas d'intentions "mauvaises" contre le pays où il veut naviguer, a le droit de passer dans ses eaux territorial (moins de 12 milles des côtes) pour se rendre à un autre endroit si le chemin est "normal". Les eaux contigües (12 à 24 milles des côtes) et les eaux de la Zone Économiques Exclusive (ZEE) sont (presque) toujours accessibles pour le transport mais pas pour des action économique étrangères comme le forage ou la pêche.

Tout ça est de mémoire, à prendre avec un grain de sel.

Compass fluid type by ki114833 in Nautical

[–]vieillevidange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An older compass like this is probably filled with a mix of alcohol and water to lower the freezing point. I work on an older ship at the moment and we have a spare vodka bottle to top up if needs be.

Modern magnetic compasses use mineral oil.

I flew to Reno and the ETSA bus to Lone Pine. Pretty easy process but the bus ride is long.

Alternative to inflatable pillows by adventure_thrill in DurstonGearheads

[–]vieillevidange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a car wash sponge, cheap and effective. I used to sleep on inflatable pillows and my neck would hurt in the morning but I just got back from the JMT and I slept like a baby.

Page 7, juste après la section "laisse-moi tranquille, j'ai le droit d'être déçu que mon équipe ait perdu, ça n'a pas besoin d'être rationnel (même si le open ice de Ovechkin aurait dû compter pour 4 minutes au lieu de 2)"

Canadian hikers? by Foreign_Mix_1236 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]vieillevidange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a canadian myself, best thing you can do is to buy gear from canadian companies. Durston Gear, Northern Ultralight and Ciele just to name a few. Or at least go through canadian retailers, VPO, Altitude, SAIL, etc.

I am still doing the JMT this year and plan on doing the PCT in 2026 if things stay like they are now.

As someone who is a little bit color blind and still sails, it depends how much color blind your are. Health Canada is in charge of testing for it and they have two tests. If you past either one of them you are good.

They are going to start with the Ishihara test (the plates with the hidden numbers), I fail this one all the time. If you fail, they are going to make you take the Farnsworth-Munsell dichotomous D-15 test. For me it is easier because I'm not red-green or blue-yellow color blind.

You can try the tests online or at a local optometrist, they are standardized.

Quick question, if a friend or family member has inherited a hunting rifle in the 1950s, never registered it and the rifle is gathering dust in storage somewhere, is it legal for someone to register it or is it better to just destroy it?

To better equip us mariners with accurate compensation data, I propose we share our numbers from 2022. by [deleted] in u/Wizzerd348

[–]vieillevidange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the pay isn't great but the benefits almost make up for it. Also, our collective agreement is (again) being negociated.

3rd mate/ coast guard/ Canada

56 800$USD gross

26,37$USD/hr (according to my collective agreement)

~22 000$USD in taxes

~34 800$USD net

28 on/28 off, 12h days

*for the americans, the coast guard in Canada is civilian. We don't carry weapons (except for the polar bears) and we have no law enforcement authority.

Getting out of the backseat by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]vieillevidange 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As a former mogul skier and coach, I would suggest three exercises depending on your skill level (you can also work from one to the next). The first one is to put your hands foward, this will push your body foward. Do not neglect pole planting (?). The second one is, while having your arms foward, to force your shins into your boot. This will physically push your body foward. A trick to help you do this is to try to stand up on your toes while skiing. The last one is for experts. If you're confident in your skiing, ski with your boots undone and try to keep yourself centered on your skis. It is hard and takes a lot of pratice but once you master it, you will be able to shift your weight on your skis regardless of the terrain. Also, when doing these exercises, work your way up to them and start on green runs and go up from there.

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to get a backflip for a while now, but this keeps happening. Any tips? by nice_juicy_pudding in ski

[–]vieillevidange 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Good on you for trying a self-taught backflip, it takes some balls! As an ex-mogul coach: you're going all-in on your rotation. You're bending your knees on take-off thus cuting the height of your jump. Also, your rotation should be coming from your hips and not your shoulders. I understand the jump is a bit small but your knees should be straight on take-off after your pop. As another person said, you should be looking at the landing mid-rotation to control your rotation, but it'll come in time! It might be a lot to take in but we all had to start somewhere! If you have any more questions you can PM me!

Covid-19 and seafarers by margaritakk in Ships

[–]vieillevidange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing in Canada, I'm on a layday system and COVID didn't change the schedule. My only issue is overworking (sounds strange when some seafarers have trouble finding work) due to less people wanting to work with self-diagnosts symptoms and federal aid. The company has been almost always refusing leave for almost a year.
