We’ve got a thread bashing the current government and there is some back and forth on some opposing views. Let’s sling some mud at the next possible federal representatives if there is an election. I understand why the conservatives haven’t released a platform. However, the cynical side...

An interesting poi from an enthusiast and EV owner. Btw, I think the heading is misleading. I don’t think it’s an argument against EV. I support EV and they have a solid place in the market.

My two cents, the very fact there are opposing points of view here, it’s exactly the reason there should be scrutiny. We can all agree children need to be protected and those that prey on children should be prosecuted. The intent of how the laws and regulations will be applied is more...

Scratching me head here and I’m a Buell owner. I like muscle cruisers, V-Rod, V-Max, Rocket, Diavel etc. even the air cooled bikes FXR and Lowrider S. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I think Buell could be an interesting motorcycle company. Compete with Italian and...

What has helped me is music, motorcycles (and bicycles) and machines (vintage cars). Noodling on a guitar, doing a brake job on a bike, having a coffee or beer. I can do that for hours alone and feel completely grounded. It can also include friends or neighbours and doing those things while...

Mental health challenges everyone. However, with males, they tend to take these challenges on by themselves. Chatting with their friends about feelings and emotions isn’t received well. Having a sense of purpose and keeping active definitely helps. I enjoy my alone time and need it. But...

I might be slow on the uptake but, True Detective S4 with Jodie Foster is produced very well. Great production from visual and audio makes my arm hair rise. The cast is outstanding too. One of the few shows, you watch and don’t check your WhatsApp group chat.

This is spot on and timely. We can address gender equality as well as address specific gender issues at the same time. It does seem to be we can only address those who have been marginalized historically and as soon as you mention man, male or white, the blinders and ear muffs are put on...

This one isn’t easy and once you table the plan, it’s open to criticism. It’s an important concern to deal with and there should be concern on the possibility of over reach. I’m cynical enough to worry when I’m told not to.

Some RV dealers are selling units at auction to try and generate cash flow. New stock units from manufacturers are costing less than last year models and inventory is full. Will be interesting to see how things play out. New unit orders are not gaining much traction even with the lower...

Agree! Very common. Banks encourage it as well to make the accounts joint with the POA to manage incidental expenses.

Reviewing his legacy compared to current political accomplishments, I’d say he set a high bar that Iikely won’t be achieved again in my lifetime. Not that he was without fault but, he did a lot for Canada on a global scale. Hope his legacy inspires current and future politicians in a...

There definitely can be better messaging on the benefits EV provides and how to deal with perceived road blocks. They are not direct replacements for ICE equivalent vehicles. Just in the same way a pick up isn’t necessary to commute to work or a smart car isn’t ideal for a contractor. They...

Good point. That figure is based on last Notice of Assessment. They just indicate the limit. Not what you have in it.

A quick check of your CRA My Account will indicate your limit. At one point, I thought it was going to be impossible to reach but, here I am topped up and looking at alternatives to avoid the tax man. lol.

With interest rates the way they are and possibly a slow reduction later in the year, we looked at the real estate market to see if we could find some bargains and make a little bank. Not looking at investment properties as being a land lord can be a hassle. We had an idea of our home...

Thanks GG. If things firm up and we actually get the house, I will reach out.

Well, I’ve been looking into solar energy for our home and it looks promising. Thanks for that Tim! I could jinx myself as we just sold our home and looking at a century home that has hot water radiant heat. It’s completely updated with a new modern low and slow burn boiler to reduce cycling...

Yeah but, what about the long dark cold winter days and use up that battery and those darn clouds just won’t let the sun come through? I wish I could be as optimistic as you and spend a considerable amount of money on those solar panels and integration. I’ve had tree limbs blow from...

The world leaders have gamed the system. The rich and developed countries want to show how good we are at being green. Let’s be leaders and show them we are the best! Set the example for the rest! However, our government is content to allow our natural resources get shipped to those bad...
