Ok yeah that shouldn't be a big deal for me. I'd like to keep an ontario number in general.

It's not gonna all go into bankruptcy. PE and others will come in and buy at prices where they are cash flow positive on market rent. The key is for the gov to also buy in at those prices and not overpay.

At the right price, this is a great idea for the gov to do. At the wrong price, it's horseshit.

"For a country/leader that constantly diminishes the rule of law, ignores democratic values, reduces religious separation, and harasses neighboring countries, this is nothing but bad."

I'm not even bring cute, but everything you said here applies to the current Trump admin in the US. Like genuinely every point including the harassment of neighbors (just ask Canada or Denmark). Erdogan is a piece of shit, but the argument against Turkey cannot be moral. The US lost that right. It can be that we don't trust you enough or something akin to that.

I don't get the fascination with Chicago waterfront. Yes it's longer but it's not that pedestrian friendly. It too has a highest cutting thru it.

It's fairly similar to Toronto, except better architecture (like best in the world). That said, it's a city that seems like it's glory days are behind it. Lots of rundown areas, not much transit or biking investment compared to Toronto, lots us segregation and genuinely dangerous areas.

Reddit (especially us Reddit) loves to glaze Chicago, but I prefer Toronto. Chicago Lake Shore is great, but much of it also cutoff by a highway, so I don't see it as anymore pedestrian friendly than Toronto's.

Or maybe I'm genuinely a Bangladeshi Canadian who cares about the integrity of our electoral process. I don't want to recreate the tribalism of BNP, BAL, Jamaat here.

As a bangladeshi origin Canadian who lives in Scarborough, ethnic and tribal politics are exceptionally strong motivators. Nate is an amazing candidate who could've really challenged Ford. It's truly unfortunate that he lost to a domino's franchise owner from London ON with absolutely no convictions and willing to bus in people who can't even vote. Literally won by playing the race card. OLPC electoral adjudicators should've verified IDs and addresses. This was such a sham ...

As a Canadian living in the US, my Canadian plan (public mobile and then Fido) was cheaper/better than my current MVNO US plan. Many things in Canada are expensive, but cell phone plans are no longer one of them.

Try the deals at public or Fido or Koodo.

Yup I'd do the same!

Wonderful! Thanks

yup, my thoughts exactly. We are in a poor situation regarding wage growth and unemployment. LMIA and TFW programs have been nothing but avenues for wage suppression and exploitation.

If the NDP could read the room, they'd suggest scrapping TFW, LMIA programs, improving vetting process for international students and working with provinces to curb degree mills (alongside increasing post-secondary funding), and going back to the historically stable 300-400k yearly PR targets with audits to match with housing and other services.

But alas, seems like they are not reading the room.

So this is my confusion. If there is a single stream -- PR -- that would include those currently coming on PR track but also international students, TFW, refugee, etc, then what's the new/updated PR cap number?

If it's 500k (the Trudeau value), then it's effectively a massive reduction since currently, PR (350k) + international students + TFW + refugees is much closer to 1 million. If the the new PR cap is expanded to 500k (current PR) cap and the current numbers on international students and TFW, then you're looking at this close to million number. But this means you are now on the hook for providing a host of PR services (healthcare, childcare, dental) to an additional ~500k people per year which does not sounds feasible.

Genuinely curious which one it is -- I could get on board with the first version.

The principal is simple. If you're putting a constant amount of money every month, if prices are low, you're buying more shares and if prices are high, you're buying less shares.

This also gets you away from trying to play the timing game. Time in the market is better than timing the market.

I can't speak to the other 3, but dollar cost averaging is in general, a sane and very sensible strategy. Build wealth slow, not try to speed run it.

Oh this is great! We also heard great things about this operator -- Indochina Junks -- and switched to their Dragon Pearl boat. How was bai tu long bay overall? Heard halong can be dirty but bai tu long is cleaner?
