You appear to be comparing motorcycling between a country where riding is a necessity, compared to a hobby like it is here. Our season is short. Our bylaws are tough. And our motorcycles are not 125-300cc outside of beginners. Need to provide some actual comparison, or at the very least tell...

Personally I think they’re trying to get interest and hoping for a bidding war. Good luck in this market.

Also anecdotal here… Buddies in the granite / cabinetry business are saying that business has been booming the last few months. All the work that stopped and they couldn’t keep guys so had to lay them off are now pounding out 6-7 days per week at 12hr shifts just to keep up with demand. All...

House similar to ours just went up for sale on our street. $1M for a side split similar to ours. Also corner lot. We bought for $970k 6 years ago.

There must be an easier way to dry out the bottom of my above ground pool…. I’m almost tempted to build a small wood deck / support for next season to allow the fabric to breathe.

Those both sound like way more than I’m willing to spend to strum some strings. But thanks for the offer!

The snowblower I had purchased previously from Nobbie ended up dying on me at the end of last season, so time for a replacement. If anyone's considering selling (looking for 24-27") with electric start and in decent shape, please let me know. Not overly picky but don't feel like buying a project!

Honestly I say go for it. If only to give it a whirl. I have no grand visions of being any good at it...but to try it out, spend some time with the kid, and do something outside of work/kids/chores/cottage/maintenance/rinse and repeat...I figure why not. Kids are getting older and my window to...

I didn't even bother yesterday after a few tries. Loaded 1/10 times.

Starting to get to the stage where I'm getting into the slump of my career here in the public service. Been a good 6 years, but I'm starting to consider a move out of this world and still keep in my industry, but maybe from another angle. What's the best way to search for jobs nowadays...

Construction is booming right now. I'd recommend reaching out to Smith and Long as they need electricians, and are involved in every major infrastructure project here in the GTA and beyond. Let me know. I've got some contacts there.

My son is going through a small guitar phase...I'll be encouraging him considering I can't play a tune for the life of me. He's got his kids' guitar, I've got my electric...may pick up a cheapo acoustic so I can practice with him.

interesting way for setting up a rack on this type of trailer...haven't considered it. Still debating wtf to do with mine...I'm leaning towards selling and just replacing with an enclosed. Or just renting as I need it.

Yup...so hands off they don't even know who is paying the rent. It's going to get very dirty for many of these speculators.

Not stocks per se...buyer beware when given promises of easy returns... https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/09/21/ontario-real-estate-investors-in-limbo-as-simple-investor-property-firm-suspends-payments/
