$500 HO helped me knock $5000 off my final price. I was seriously impressed with the thoroughness of the inspector. He picked up a small leak from the washer, and took pictures of a faint scale line to show it was a recurring issue.

Another thing, Yakima round bars are my favorite bars. They have multiple widths available to allow for a top box and two bikes on the roof. Closet rods are a cheap and compatible option. The new aero curved bars can put quite a lot of lateral flex on the bars. For example, Tesla OEM bars don't...

A friend of a friend drives sprinted with his old thule at 140-150 on twisty mountain roads. Big fat skis help support all the luggage on top of them. It is considerably more fuel efficient than open ski racks or baskets with random luggage strapped to them. It can also haul a surprising amount...

Another q. What is a good bank to open a common bank account? I have Simplii and partner has TD.

I think I misused the term suite. Let's call it an extra room + bathroom with a kitchenette. The extra space is not even on the title. The listing agent listed the house including the built basement at ~1700 sqft vs the title ~1200. I suppose they just took the owner word for it? That is quite...

I found a townhouse I like, but it has an illegal suite built on the first floor. Squamish having a serious rental problem, is overlooking such suites. Lots of people rent similar units. My issue is with the fact that the townhouse is listed including the extra sqft, suite and bathroom. The...

Too bad they can only be green plated.

Ford wants to one up the sale of 407 and Hydro One. Ontario, a place to grow.

I am sure there are exceptions, but most family doctor visits can be done by phone. Most initial visits are concluded by recommending RICE, a prescription, or a referral. Nurse practitioners can provide similar primary care at a cost-effective rate and free family doctors to provide specialised...

Thanks for the feedback. A few more details. My dream home is not big or fancy. Ideally it has space do do my own maintenance on cars and build/fix stuff. GF wants a kitchen she can put her awesome cooking skills to use. My maintenance/building/fixing skills and her cooking save us lots of...

Sounds good for me then. As a first time buyer I am under no pressure to buy or sell. GF got a job in a dream town. Most properties on the market are holding at peak price. We found a townhouse complex that really suits our needs. Prices are similar to other townhouses in town but they offer a...

I am looking for some opinions on where RE might go. Articles and bank predictions state sales could drop as much as 40%+ and prices will drop ~10%+. Does that mean there will be a lot less listings or an excess of unsold listings?

Good idea. If the purpose of our justice system is to rehabilitate, I doubt what marco munzzo went through did much rehabilitation. Neither does extensive jail time.

My condolances. Fentanyl was in the good ol days. US's war on fentanyl got china to curb supply. They are now supplying all kind of nastier adulterants such as xylazine. Trying to cut supply has proven over and over to be ineffective. VICE has an informative documentary on it.

Sorry but I do not agree with that. Healthcare is one of the few interest we have left in common across all classes. I prefer it continues to be a common interest. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Private or public corruotion and fraud will ruin anything. Globe and mail had a bunch of good articles how a private contractor stole millions from hospital work. No criminal charges. Corruption is becoming the new standard. We need heads on spikes. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Too bad hate speech laws only apply to identifiable groups.

All gas stations I passed by in north van had gas. No line-ups either. I was at keyhole hot springs saturday to sunday that weekend. 60KM FSR. near Pemberton. We had to dig out the cherokee trailhawk to get the chains on. Barely made it through the first 20KM with chains on all wheels. Snow was...

Let me re-clarify. Ontario is big. Put high speed trains(300KM/h+) with bike stands. Built big mansions with large lots around such a train line and people can take a bike to the train station, load the bike on the train then get around the downtown core with the bike. RE gas prices and gas...

Right now very few people can actually ride their bike to work. This is a generational problem. Adopting public transit and cycling will take a while. Bikes can be a very good option for getting to the rapid transit station and from union to the office. Suburban busses are slow and inconvenient...
