    I am with itrade as I followed over from etrade. It's fine but not the best. If you want full-featured and no spread on currency conversion, IBKR is probably your best bet. Super low trading fees too. For approachable, wealthsimple isn't terrible but I dislike that they have "free" trades but...

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

    What a steaming pile this is. Justice system has completely lost the plot. Cop on-duty, with a gun, driving at 0.26 BAC and he gets a $3000 fine. What an embarrassment. Us vs them is so ingrained in the system that it's not even worth charging cops. All that does is increase the pain on...

    Northeys Bay Road in North Kawartha - RIP

    RIP/GWS. Condolences to the riders family and friends. More info in link from someone on scene. EDIT: The rider may still be alive? Apparently their family has been updating the poster I linked. 10:00 "*update*. The girls' dad messaged me saying she made it, she's alive but broken. She has 3...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That has an elevation problem. Not insurmountable but it would need some work. Ground floor that he would like to extend is 2-3' above grade IIRC. He could make a back split using what is an existing exterior side door to access stairs. Enclose the deck area and have a few stairs down to the...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Was it worth 3500 before he crashed it?

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Done properly, they can work well. Proper screw piles measure torque during install. There is a known relationship between torque and bearing capacity. Talk to the structural engineer that has to sign off and local building department to see how they feel. Ultimately, what they accept matters...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    No trucks should be in the left lane. If 99 is their top speed, hwy 2 is the place for them.

    Riding an e-scooter in Toronto?

    Selling them is legal. Since the dawn of ebikes, stores have been grossly misrepresenting what is legal as they have no liability. Most are now selling lsv's (which require license and insurance) as enclosed mobility scooters. That's a load of crap but again, no liability. Every sale generates...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Hopefully the cops pull over this rat *&^& and give them every ticket they are eligible for. What a crap person and they're proud of it. They need an attitude adjustment. If they were in the right lane, I've have no issue. Based on their driving style, they should never leave the right lane...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Fred likes to dig up rocks and collect them. Up to ~3", he has no problem carrying around. His deepest hole so far is ~2'. Apparently the good rocks are deeper. Makes it annoying to mow the lawn as I need to inspect for landmines (both squishy and rocks) prior to cutting. Thankfully, he keeps...

    Riding an e-scooter in Toronto?

    Here is someone that hit a pedestrian in vaughan in 2024 while they were on an escooter. They just received a 200k lawsuit and are understandably freaking out. No insurance so even if they win, they lose. https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvicecanada/s/JbqjAeqY3y

    Site performance is quite poor today

    On the flipside, loading the full-ad version probably generated more money for CK in 10 seconds than the ad-blocked version does in a week.

    RIP Hockley Rd

    Ah, that sucks. He seemed like a decent guy. I don't think I ever rode with him. Last login was the day before. Rip Manny.

    Riding an e-scooter in Toronto?

    A sale ad in barrie that checks all of the stupidity boxes (too much power, too much speed, seat, suspended license). Escooters are legally not allowed in barrie but as with most places, almost zero enforcement. EDIT: He also wants more for his used one than Temu wants for a new one ($819)

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I broke a hydraulic fitting on a tractor and puked its guts out? Does that count? Hard parts will only be a couple bucks. Fluid will Sadly be $500 or more.

    Oi. What a buzzword pile of crap. I'm glad the swings are working for you. Holding it long-term seems like a loser. "The company operates green energy-powered data centres focusing on both cryptocurrency mining and high-performance AI cloud computing infrastructure"
