    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    Thanks about the bike comment :) I honestly don't know. I called brokers and companies, and did not get very good answers. May be your postal code is different and age? I am 33, M license, Toronto and I have one minor speeding ticket (10 over). The agent said the ticket costed me $40 extra per...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    Yes that is why I actually got it, so I can explore a bit off road. Street riding was getting a bit boring. To my surprise, it only went down by only $40 a year. Many companies were actually refusing to insure my little 250. My gsxr 750 was $643 with wawanesa and TD was the lowest for wr...

    Car Recommendation for My Daughter

    Great buy. Really wanted one before getting Mazda 3/Matrix. Frameless windows, projector headlights and awd. Can't go wrong.

    You really should. Because you also have another family vehicle, so it's all good.

    May be I just should do this. Going traditional and what everyone is doing, have hurt me enough. I got a truck going against everyone. Now I could not be happier.

    Getting a job far from GTA or ON when you live in Toronto

    I have applied numerous times to CSIS and absolutely zero results. I even spoke to their recruiter when she was here. She even told me that they were looking for someone like me who is multilingual and fluent in 3 languages (English, Bengali, Russian). Still nothing. And yes, I can read, write...

    Car Recommendation for My Daughter

    Vibe has one thing that Matrix does not. A 115W outlet in the center console. Also note that base model vibe/matrix does not offer power windows and foldable front passenger seat (essential for hauling long stuff).

    Car Recommendation for My Daughter

    I bought my matrix for $4400 including tax, safety, registration and 7 months later sold it for $5500. Not bad huh? Bought at 173k and sold at 185k.

    Car Recommendation for My Daughter

    That is a super nice trailer. What is the model number? Wonder how is the interior. I should be able to tow it with my Ridgeline. I am surprised nobody mentioned about Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe.

    I will contact them, thank you for mentioning. I am extremely cheap to the point I hurt myself. Disciplined enough to be debt free still and paid off my student loans long time ago. I am okay with mining work but is there a skill I can learn and use?

    You are absolutely correct about the gene. Although, not sure about being just an individual contributor as I have led people and I am naturally good with that. One of the programs I am thinking of doing is this...

    Getting a job far from GTA or ON when you live in Toronto

    Yes, it is I. In all honesty, I found more success in lawn mowing than mortgage brokering. However, I have not been able to scale the landscaping business. Mortgage is okay but since I am new, I am struggling to find traffic etc. I will email you :) Yeah I do need some quick money for a...

    Getting a job far from GTA or ON when you live in Toronto

    BC or Alberta. Or Northern ON. My personal referrals are just not enough. Or maybe I suck. I don't know. But every single job/gig I got, was by competing with blind applications. Very hard to be honest. I was thinking air force. I will see what I can do. I did polish up my CV and my recent...

    Getting a job far from GTA or ON when you live in Toronto

    I would like to know how to do so. I know the traditional ways of looking online etc but there has to be more. Yes I want to relocate and leave GTA for good. I have IT, project management background but I am willing to learn new skills as needed.

    Struggling financially and getting frustrated?

    I am doing mortgages, landscaping and a full time job. I am hoping soon enough I can leave my job for a better one along with the businesses growing. It is stressful but I am trying to bite my tongue and do what I can.
