Also, when I think Mafia in Ontario, I think construction.

oh boy, Montréal, construction is 100% run by mafia it’s incredible, at every level

hé, I’m in Québec, I’d need a nice ride in buses with thousands of others Canadians to tell Alberta we love them!

No, and I don’t like people saying Canada Post lose millions per year, it’s a service, like the military, do we say Canadian Forces are losing 40 billions per year?

Yup, and gov is in vacation until Jan 27th, so when they wil go back to work, Trump in its first week may have already destroyed a couple of things here and there in our economy

They weren’t even asking for that much

20% raise on 4 years is that much

Everything started with Reagan, tax cut blablabla and remember Reagan fired more than 11’000 striking air traffic controllers, it was the beginning of the end of unions in USA.

Maybe the same thing will happen here.

Well, I have no kids at home anymore so no save on clothing/diapers. I don’t go to restaurant anymore, too expensive. My wine/beer is more than 7% alcohol, so maybe I will save a few ¢ on chips.

2 months, from Dec 15th to Feb 15th. And yes it looks like he is trying to buy some votes. And the check is for people doing 150k$ or less NET, so in QC almost 300k$ gross, as if people doing 300k need a 250$ bonus…

so, jail? or is she free to roam everywhere in Canada giving the finger at MP?

Trump personally hates Trudeau and will be rough with Canada like in his first term, so Canadians next year will say “hé, let’s get PP as PM, at least Trump likes him so it will be better for our country”

Plus Trudeau is a dead weight and at the bottom of polls, it’s a good riddance he will be out, but PP is not the solution.

Yup I was surprised to see the gallon for US$3, so 3*1.4 (exchange rate) = CA$4.2 per gallon, divide per 3.78 and it makes CA$1.11 per liter

gas in great Montréal: 1.52CA$/L

gas in USA couples minutes drive: 1.12$CA/L

I just filled my tank, ~60L, saved 24$CA

It’s like the show on TV “I’m 26, I am a cook in a fast food restaurant, my wife is 25 and a part time soap maker at home, we are looking for a house in Parkdale Toronto, our budget is 1.5 million” WTF?

I left Montréal, cannot afford a decent house there, now in suburbia. I have no clue how people in Toronto or worst, Vancouver, can manage to buy condo/house at 1 or 2 millions$ ?!?

I’ll be dead in 2078 when it will be announced for the 134th time, at the cost of 860 billions$

I’ll tell you then

Problem is mostly housing. When people earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, there’s a problem. In great Montreal, pre-covid, you had 1bd appartment for 500$ sometimes less, now it’s 1200+$

I don’t know what will happen with this, and the hundreds of thousands new people coming each and every years need housing too, and schools, and healthcare. Of course millionnaires politicians don’t give a shit.

TOS of course, will never skip it

IIRC years ago Tim Hortons stop buying the coffee beans that was good, to buy cheap disgusting ones. And McDonalds then started to buy the good one, so the McDo coffee is what was the good old Tim ones.

I prefer McDo cofffee than Tim. I rarely go to Tim, maybe once a year.

In the last 10 years maybe, yes, lots of new condo towers downtown! Unfortunately Montréal now has a lot of homeless people, drugs, gunshots, dirty places, etc :-(

Same in Montréal, maybe thousands of brand new condo, small, and too expensive.
