NS obviously didn't do the research, thinking it was like using cube taps or power bars in the kitchen. A lot of people aren't any smarter. I don't know what the learning curve will be like. Sixty percent of the population overloads their credit cards. There's an interesting psychiatric...

If a 5000 square foot lot is a million dollars that's $200 per SF. If six feet by fifty feet is hidden that's $60,000 of property that isn't obvious when the time to sell comes along. For Toronto, it's a good location and the neighbours are good so this isn't a sales spruce up. We like the...

Our overgrown hedge may be on its last days. While it looks good at a glance it is 10 to 12 feet thick and my neighbour and I are both losing about six feet of back yard. It sounds like he's willing to take the financial hit for the fence and I can do what I want on my side. The hedge is...

That works if you're not running a fleet where all the vehicles need a whole night's sleep. A delivery company in Nova Scotia ordered all new EV trucks and the utility wouldn't give them enough power to charge everything overnight. Heavy trucks have a different set of circumstances. I also...

Where was this. I agree with letting the car disappear. Outracing it would mean watching out for him catching up.

A friend's daughter manages about a half dozen dental offices for her boss, all across Ontario.

Yup, private equity. They're also going after health care clinics, funeral homes, RV parks. Pool money, give an indie a sum they can't ignore, take over the region, screw the clientele and often the banks and suppliers then disappear.

As long as you don't go to Walmart for a bag of cheesies while wearing your pajamas, you're good Uber, Door dash undecided

It is fraud. CRA sees $10K go into the seller's bank account and they only sold $1K worth of stuff. Are they dealing drugs, laundering money? CRA is apparently using AI to get every penny that the Liberals need to recoup what Justin squandered.

99% correct. 1% ride for utility A 650 used to be a big bike. Now it's a starter. Goldwing 1800 owners want 2000. Boss Hoss with a SBC and now a big block?

Priced vet bills lately? If you didn't own a dog you could afford another bike.

The original installer could safely use a paired set of chargers but a good inspector thinks about the next occupant of the house. The second or third occupant may not be aware of the issues of doubling up.

A USA item: A kid on an e-bike hit and killed a pedestrian. The kid's mother has been charged because she gave him the bike. Maybe e-bikes need crash pictures on them like the ones they use on anti smoking ads. Nah! I as born smart.

I thought they just killed with cars.
