    get rid of pensions altogether. just remove the annual caps from RSP/TFSA and an employer can offer an RSP/TFSA deposit match, administered by a 3rd party. it would look like what some of us have known as defined benefit plans, they are basically just RSPs that are called pensions. they are also...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I didn't get a full charge last night, dash said I had 50km range to go when I started up this morning. I drove 68km to work and went to gas just as I turned in to the parking lot. I was impressed. I usually leave work with a full charge displaying 63km range then run between 11 and 14km on hold...

    is that 2014 model year or in 2014 for the 2015 model year? I have a 2014. I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to technology so if I don't figure it out in the 45 seconds or so that I'm waiting for my wife to get outside I'll usually abandon it. what app are you guys talking about...

    anyone here work in NDT?

    I'm exploring career change options because I'd like to be able to have work that's a little less location dependent. Right now, downtown Toronto is the only possible place in this entire country for me (and my wife) to make a living due to poor career choices. So we commute almost 3 hours a...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I got my car on the 18th. I've driven to Toronto and back home 8 times since then. I've used almost 10 litres of gas. One time for about 1/2 hour I thought I was on hold but was actually on mountain so I've used a bit more than I should have. My employer has paid for half my charges. Wiring is...

    Aviva gave me 5% off for hybrid. I'm $50 cheaper per month than a Corolla (not beige lol).

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I bought one just because of you. I had no idea about Volts at all. I would have guessed they were sub-par to the Prius if you asked me. Was thinking of waiting for the Model 3 and see how that goes for a few years. I'm putting a lot of kms down and my circumstances give me a lot of free...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I was thinking of going this route too but 3 dealers I've talked to said so far they've never seen a base model before... One says he sells more Corvettes than Volts. They are still a bit of an oddity to the dealers. So buying used you get a fully loaded car nearly every time. I figured I'll try...

    Min wage increase

    An able bodied male finished high school that doesn't act like an ******* would likely have trouble getting his pay down to minimum wage. I think we're talking about disabled females. Don't disabled females deserve a living wage? Sorry I forgot about ********. Don't ******** deserve a living wage?

    I'd say gassing up is a much larger pain. I'm typing this on a desktop and I left a tip for the IT guy that plugged it in. I felt so bad for him.

    It's really dark grey lol. Car-proof shows some 4G update which is supposedly the onstar upgrade. Am I getting OnStar? Seems pretty pricey if you already own a phone... I don't really understand what it offers that roadside assistance and a cell phone don't.

    Looks like as of this moment I'm an owner. Best I could get them down on was a tad over 20k.

    Story is that it just came in Thursday and ads go automatically to Autotrader as soon as they are in stock. Guy just sent me the Carproof this morning shows printed April 18, so I don't know if that is back when the guy bought the new one and took delivery this past week? Carproof shows a few...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Do I get better pricing if I pretend I'll take their financing? I went and spoke to them on Saturday but the car was still "being prepped" they said so I couldn't take a look. They'll call me when it's ready. It came off lease and the guy took out a 2017. Lady at the desk said the guy was...
