I was waiting for Fail to say that.. 

What is everyone's take on these flooding issues.   I don't particularly remember this to be some kind of Noah's Arc spring for rain and not for snow either. Certainly have seen worse in terms of rain fall and snow fall.  So what gives? I can only assume this is some kind of man made mishandling of the water system being blamed on climate change, etc.

good one 

kind of long needs to be cut down to Decal size  

Yeah, it's not short like a one way slogan.  It's a long three way slogan, like the three ways truedope has with Sophie and Gerry.

"We are investing in the middle class and those working hard to join it"

Is that a slogan?? Pretty sure I have heard it once or twice.

Has anyone seen this? Pretty wild..

There is no is no law that says you can't buy a Furnace or parts or whatever.  I buy this stuff all the time, it is a myth.  I buy stuff, I call the manufacturer for support without issue, i get stuff replaced under warranty without issue.  Just like the myth you will void your car warranty if you don't do all of the ridiculous maintenance recommended by the dealer or the manual. Total BS.

These guys want you to believe these furnaces are rocket science, they are not.  Once you learn the basics of how a Furnace works they are all more or less the same and all suffer from the same common problems.  Everyone gets scared because "it's gas", you are not touching the gas line and there are so many safety mechanisms in place which are often the parts that fail.   Having talked to some of these so called "hvac experts" half of them don't really know what they are doing anyways and are often feeding you bullshit.  This past winter my blower capacitor blew, I fixed it myself with a new capacitor for $2.  A few days later the blower itself died due to the damage from the blown cap.  I picked up a new pcm blower motor and a new cap for $80 and had it back up and running in 2 hrs.  I am not a trades person, I just like to problem solve the info is all out there on the net.  Getting the parts is sometimes a challenge but I find most places will sell them without issue as long as it is not something like refrigerant that requires a license.  Paying for some bs maintenance contract is a waste of money, I don't see how the manufacturer will not honor the warranty.

These ice pile ups are nothing new, happens every year somewhere on the lake.  Every year it's on the news like some new phenomenon, with someone saying they have never seen this or have not seen it in decades.  I have many pictures like that from around the Oro area over the last 20 years.  Part of being on a big lake, the ice has to go somewhere.

Its hard to give up the gravy train, he has been in office since 22 years old - He will run again and if they don't let him the will go back to Andrew as MP 

Are you speaking from experience?

Good to see he's out, he should drop out of politics and re-invent himself as an actor.  He would be a perfect for a starring role in a movie about the life of Peter North.

I'm not ok with someone who can't manage his expenses.  But we don't know the full story.  The PM sets the bar low.

Yeah, but according to him IT IS THE WHOLE STORY.  So if it's true and he likes to over extend himself on borrowed money hoping to break even on air bnb, then he is not too sharp.   If there is much more to the story, then he obviously takes the general public for idiots hoping they believe his bullshit.  If there is more, which we all know there is, the time for it to come out will be during the election.  You can be sure Wynnebag would get to the bottom of it.  So in either scenario he is a side show and should step aside.  I don't see how anyone could trust him at this point or have any confidence in him, it's too late.

I'm not sure what your point is, you are OK with someone who can't manage their own finances to be premiere  because Trudeau couldn't either?  You are saying there is more to the story, that's what I started out saying so I guess on that we agree.

You are right, he is displaying his sharp business acumen.  The story he gave the layman is that "like every other young person in Ontario his family loaned him money for a down payment on a home" .  

Net loss on your primary residence is deductible against your income? Come on, who would leverage them self like that?  I want to see Wynne go too, but this guy is not the answer stop making excuses for him.

He's damaged goods now, party needs to dump him.

Here's the house.. 

https://www.alkerton.com/property-print.php?id=45#prettyPhoto

Mill rate is .879281

Roll Number:

434601000709000

Property Type:

Residential Unit

Address:

3 Pemberton Lane, Oro-Medonte

Assessed Value:

I still think there is more dirt to be found on him with that house he bought in Shanty Bay.  If you do the calculations they said he had 30K net income left after paying the mortgage and he himself claims to have lived off of that.  It's total BS, the bills for the house alone would eat up most of the 30K, the property tax alone is 17K based on the assessed value plus all of the bills, insurance etc.  There would not be a dime left, he wants people to believe this and then trust them him with the province?

There are plenty of guys who will haul it behind a pickup on uship, but in my limited research that seems frowned upon for long distances due to potential trailer issues and shit getting thrown up at the boat.

I am waiting for the seller to give me some measurements, will have them in a day or two.

Sks, any idea if a good freight broker would be cheaper/same/more than using uship?

Just a 22footer 3500lbs dry plus trailer.

I'm looking for advice from the deal hunters on here or some leads as to the best way to potentially ship a boat from Alberta to Ontario.  I have looked at Uship as an option, but would prefer to hear any recommendations or advice/real world experience from anyone who has done it.  I see that many offer tow away service but we are talking 3000kms that would be hard on the trailer, I think I would prefer to load it on a flat bed/trailer of some sort.  The problem is I would need it to be able to be loaded and unloaded with out any extra equipment.

If anyone here is in the business please PM me, thanks.

Heard this one on the radio on the way home.. Political correctness reaching a whole new low.. "Peoplekind" wtf???

JT looked right in his element this weekend, like hosting some high school drama show, complete with costume changes and everything.  I could not watch more than a minute..

Costco, best return policy no questions asked.

What year and what is the asking price for the Fountain?

So Wynne and Sousa are going to fuck with the market.  I wonder how quickly all the foreign buyers will establish a local "residence" to skate the 15%.  Will be a house with a couple desks and phones in it. 

Why must they fuck with everything.......

You just need to buy it under a corporation now to avoid the 15%.  A few extra hundred to set it up and have some lawyer put himself down as the owner.  Similar to the offshore banking setups.
