I mean, in the case of changing values of currency, physical money isn’t changing anything there. As a Canadian forced to buy many things in USD I am constantly suffering from exchange rate changes which is similar. Money retains the same value in country though unless something goes really wrong at the bank of Canada. This is riskier because of trade and how interdependent nations are today.
I’m not a financial expert here, so some of the things you hit on in your reply I am not familiar with. I’ve never used GICs. RRSPs however can be invested, or sit in cash non-invested. Its the same account type either way.
Some, like BMO Investorline, will charge for it to sit in cash (Investorline charges you $100/month) - BMO Smartfolio won’t let you put things in cash, they say they aren’t setup for that.
I ended up moving my RRSP to an RRSP with my credit union. Its getting moved to an RRSP but it will sit in cash hold, uninvested, until such time as I am ready to put it back into the market. I did this before the 2020 dip as well. You can avoid the bubble popping this way. It doesn’t need to stay on the market.
In Canada at least you can have the funds pulled from the market and put in cash hold until you are comfortable with the market for RRSP/RESP.
Some banks will try to tell you you cannot do this or will charge you $100/month to keep it in cash. If they do, go to another institution and get it moved there. Many credit unions offer the same accounts with zero charges for holding cash.
Yeah this was way more traumatizing than anything Signs had.
Before that oil was moved through pipelines it was moved by train, I’m sure that could be arranged to bridge some of the demand. Not perfect by any means, but it would help until we could solve the pipeline problem. At this point we need to plan for a “when” scenario.
You mean the information sharing? No its just data they can use if they decide to go through with annexation of the country so they can find all the people they want to send to the Gulags or prosecute for thought crimes right away.
Bill C-2 covers information sharing, and petition e-6838 is opposing it, and this is the second time I’ve heard of this cooperation between border control agencies and last heard of it being discussed between Carney and Trump, though I do not recall agreements made. If this is being introduced in the US, then it seems likely some agreement was made or is expected to be made, so I’m asking if someone knows of existing corresponding legislation or petitions.
Where is the Canadian side of this legislation? Where is the petition to stop this shit?
I’d email my MP but unfortunately NDP lost in my region and we have Aaron Fucking Gunn who is just a little PP Parrot that wants stronger ties with the US like all the Conservatives.
Fuck the US
I’m not sure why he’s wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.
Fuck trump and the USA.
We needed EXPERTS to tell us THIS?
Universe help us, how stunned are people that this wasn’t IMMEDIATELY obvious.
The bees that live there:
I love my field, I hate the majority of jobs in my field because while tech can do many cool and wonderful things and could be solving many more issue, most companies are busy doing what one percenters want and pushing for the least effort solutions and everything is always a cram. No breathing space, no time to enjoy the product and reflect on what to do next. Just cram, enshittify, add tracking, automate away your peers, do more with less people so we can fire more people.
I’m so sick of the efficiency rat race that capitalist investors demand.
Oh right, good catch. That’s me shell scripting while in a meeting. 🫠
'I don\'t know what you mean, I\‘ve never encountered any annoyances.’
I can… But too much panning. Still hard on my eyes due to the proximity. My eyes are only bad up to about 3 feet from my face, and then they get better that most.
I hate consuming anything on a phone, prefer a monitor I can sit back from, or a TV.
I got to Waldo and said “not with these eyes on a phone.”
So mental warfare in this thing too. It required me to deselect tomatoes.
He’s going to punish Americans. His tariffs don’t do shit to Canada.
