    Grocery store boycott

    I was a huge Loblaws shopper. I would constantly buy things on the Flashfood app, and of course, pick up other stuff while I was there. I came across the thread on Reddit and have been boycotting them since May 1. It probably won't do anything in the end, but I just feel like I have to do...

    1+1=RACIST!!!

    I got 30 seconds into that video and it just screams trucker convoy to me. Sorry, but I can't watch that stuff. I don't know, both my kids took math all throughout their schooling. One had no issues whatsoever, and the other one is struggling a bit in a grade 12 course. I helped them with...

    I enjoyed it. But it was basically the exact opposite of what I expected to happen.

    PickAxe Loop, top portion north Barry's Bay, clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

    My partner and I rode the Pickaxe loop last year on our Groms. I'm a decently experienced dirt biker and she's a complete noob. If you watch this video, we did the Paugh Lake section all up to the 16:13 mark. I did have to help her get her bike up one of the really rocky climbs close to the...

    When does a bike have too many hours?

    200 hrs wouldn't be an issue to me. Especially on a 2T. I had over that on a KTM 200xcw that was still on the original clutch. Changed the top end about 3 times and the bottom once. You will probably want to change all the bearings and seals though.

    This makes me angry

    Yup. Factory farming. The more I learned, the more I was disgusted. But because they're not cute little puppies, no one gives a ****.

    Agreed, but I wish they left Elvis at home. Absolutely no comparison to Band of Brothers either. But still a really good watch.

    Water damaged drywall

    I will never never never do drywall again. I'd done bits here an there in the past and after watching some videos I felt much more confident. So when it came time to finish my basement, I was gunho to do it. I did the framing, electrical, plumbing, and hung all the drywall. Easy peasy. The...

    Knives - What are you using in the kitchen??

    I would never support an MLM, so cutco is definitely out. I absolutely love cooking, and do it all in my household. I bought a Japanese Nikiri style knife from SHARP Knife Shop, online. I really really wish I would have done this much sooner. I love the feel of the handle, and the blade has...

    Possible Paving Scam?

    Right? I thought those posts were someone joking. You're right on the money here.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Unfortunately a breathalyzer isn't going to detect anything other than alcohol. I work with someone who, it's pretty obvious, is high on pills from time to time.

    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    Great point! I didn't even occur to me that one might try to ride offroad on something other than a 21" wheel. In my mind it was a given that even if it was an SM, it would have proper size rims and tires for offroad.

    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    I wouldn't get too hung up on the S or SM for the DRZ. Just get whichever is the better deal for you. I can almost guarantee this won't be your forever or only bike. I believe you'll learn from it and then get a better bike for what you end up enjoying more.

    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    You've gotten mostly great advice so far. My riding experience started on a DRZ400 because I thought it was a great inbetween bike. After the first year doing the Bethany ride and some other ODSC rides, I realized I really preferred single track. And after riding from Brampton to the Ganny...

    Holy crap. I feel it started out so well, but as the future was more and modified, it just got dumber and dumber. My partner and I laugh and say the writing could be done by a 12 year old. It's so simple and predictable. The acting is good (even though we both want Ed to just die and piss...

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    I don't live in Toronto, but I'm curious if the sidewalks get cleared before the streets? In Brampton, the sidewalks would get cleared the next day, maybe. I do understand the issue people are having, but I think they're just treating the bike lanes the same as the roads, which I think get...

    Benching ZX10R, buying KLX300 for a year's use.

    My partner and I had a blast doing the Pickaxe loop on our GROM's.

    Stocks

    After doing lots of research a few years ago, I started buying ETF's. Since I was with Scotia, I opened a trading account there, and within that, and RRSP and TFSA. You can certainly open up a trading account with whatever bank you're with, but I would suggest just doing it online, or calling...

    Small displacement motorcycle insurance

    Blue plated (on road) bikes have no issues. It's only green plated (off road). Source: My partner and I have GROM's.

    Benching ZX10R, buying KLX300 for a year's use.

    I'm curious how you think a 300cc bike won't survive? I have a GROM and I'll take that everywhere except 100km/hr roads. Sure, I won't get where I'm going fast, and I'll take all the side roads, but isn't that what you want to do on a bike? If you're shooting straight up on the highway, the...
