Water once every two-three weeks then nothing more to do but enjoy the view. It’s expensive to set up but then light and water are automated on a simple timer. Underneath is a clean water bucket, a Mistking pump and a bucket to collect excess water. Then a simple aquarium timer control the light and ventilation. I should clean the glass once a month but usually do it less often.
All US dividends are safe from the 15% withholding taxe in the RRSP but not in the TFSA.
Also an international stock within an etf on the US stock market is subject to two layers of withholding taxes in the TFSA but only one in the RRSP.
Briefly to use this to my advantage TFSA : VGRO RRSP : VT, AVDV, AVUV, no Canadian etf Taxable: ZCN, ZEA, dec 2027 500 SPY call N.B. Everything VGRO wouldn’t be an issue.
Canada will be picked on by the US anyway, we might as well defend our value. I don’t propose explicitly antagonizing the US administration directly today, but showing that we will speak up and fight back if someone step on our toes and act against our internet. Kindness and politeness isn’t a weakness, it’s our way of exhibiting strength until we can’t resolve things politely.
You can’t reason with this a. hole no point trying.
I tried to post about Lemmy this morning in a 160k people sub : it’s sitting at two like and i can post and engage elsewhere without consequences. I don’t think they shadowbanned me but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people. It was a polite post and i am used to way, way more engagement, especially on the weekends.
What a clown! I can stand behind every word you used to describe this joke of a candidate for prime minister.
I despise everyone that want to appease the US. Since they can’t respect their own signature there is no point in negotiating especially if it weaken our sovereignty and push us to be more dependent on our oppressor. Lets put the 30 % of our gdp in jeopardy and build better trade with Europe and developed Asia. Who knows, maybe the US will pay for some missions critical import anyway and doing so shorten the trade war. I am not pushing to do anything rash but expelling diplomats until the 51st state bullshit stop seems necessary before March 1st.
I agree
A slow pace will give time for concerned republicans to discuss. Trump try to ignore a lot of things but he needs congress to follow through with legislation for his plan to succeed.
Half of Trump votes and a bigger part of abstentions are a protest directed at the economic system that, in the aftermath of Covid, got rich people richer while most people got reduced buying power in the form of inflation.
Then surprise surprise: sh!t policies and more inflation. Can Trump keep control of this growing rage or…
Smaller companies that only handle logistics and delivery. But it’s been Amazon ways for a while that none of their subcontractors can grow. They will make it unpredictable so it’s difficult to invest and come back to handle things themselves if a local company come close to making a descent business. They will end the contract and move to a new subcontractor just to prevent a local company to grow and gain leverage. Just like they are aggressively against union.
There is multiple levels of problem from Quebec point of view. Quick delivery paid by Prime without Quebec infrastructure won’t happen. Why pay for it? General boycott of companies that a) pay taxes in the US and b) show support for the current US administration. Any money that’s not spent developing Canadian infrastructure is a problem with our sovereignty challenge.
Wallmart as most of the same issues. Shopify need his CEO to stop encouraging Trump, but sometimes it allow local business to sell directly to you. I would be interested in what works for you in term of alternatives.
Canada would be happy with most if not all of Europe’s privacy laws once we choose to ignore US interest.
Quebec has some decent parental leave and the current federal government (Liberal-NDP) wants a nationwide implementation.
Electricity could stay different just like UK didn’t use the Euro when they where member. Most other laws should be Europe inspired even if we ‘compete’ with the US deregulation. I would love agriculture related laws to be harmonized to the high standard in Europe.
I was kind of expecting this, thanks for your honesty. Many people in Canadian sub talk about NATO’s article 5, but the truth is nobody can send military gear to the nose of US navy and aviation across the Atlantic. An article 5 would be nationalization of US asset in Europe, reversing all investment in the US and maybe expelling the US from military bases in Germany. Not much would be done on Canadian ground.
Free media and journalists encouraged to dig deep and challenge things is a big part of democracy.
There’s a pattern of brewing menace on a Friday afternoon only to downplay them on Monday. Or it’s just me reading too much out of this chaos?
There isn’t room for multiple social media in my life and i will try with only Lemmy for a few months. I did came from r/BuyCanadian with curiosity more than the US boycott in mind. I plead guilty!
Thanks a lot, i feel so wrong
When can we expel the US ambassador until they stop with this 51st state nonsense? I don’t even see the point of discussing Nafta 3.0 if the clown can’t respect his own signature. We will take the temporary 30% cut to gdp and emerge stronger in a few years.
