Golden Visa programs typically target retirees and do not provide you with work permits (I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule and owning/managing a business that employs locals is often one of...

I also read there are concerns over Trudeau's quarantine period and all that... although given it's in Quebec I'm sure the Liberals would provide an exception to keep the Laurentian Elite happy.

Wow, thanks for the effort! Part of the reason for my question is that it seems VW leaves it up to each country's stealerships to determine the intervals and that is why there is so much debate...

Haha, appreciate all the 007 comments. I was thinking more of the old Connery / Roger Moore / Timothy Dalton movies when I commented where Bond basically forced himself on women until they relented...

So funny seeing the responses here vs. on Reddit where it seems the r/Calgary thread is full of Nenshi fan girls.

I wonder if their perspective will change when they have to start paying taxes.

I'm surprised James Bond hasn't been cancelled yet.

Can't say he really advocated for consent...

Here's my set-up. Need to make a strop for the compound and will eventually build a wooden sharpening station as well.

My argument is that the prices of stonks and RE have been largely inflated due to artificially supressed interest rates (necessary to fuel ongoing deficits/debts of governments).

Fair comment - I didn't mean an "invisible hand" economy where the government does nothing as I fully support general consumer, worker, and environmental protections.

But what's happening now is...

Governments pass legislation/regulation to appease idiot voters while also keeping their donors and lobby groups happy (0.1% win, 99.9% lose). The amount of bullshit I'm dealing with to transfer...

Prices on whisky/bourbon/beer have definitely increased along with quality steel, tools, and unprocessed foods.

There are so many potential causes of inflation these days:
1. Monetary inflation...

I'll now definitely be naming my project SalVeg Garden.

I'm thinking about building my own indoor salad / veggie garden using LED lights. Anyone have experience or advice in purchasing bulbs or setting it up (or links to good sources - seems all my...

Thanks! Seems to line-up with what I'm reading/hearing.



I think the diesels are belt and petrols are chain but I will take a look myself when if we look at a Touran.

We're looking at buying a 2016 VW Touran 2.0TDI with ~90k kms in Spain and I'm finding conflicting information all over the 'net as to when the timing belt should be changed.

Some say 5 years /...

They'll have a Spring election (after spending billions of dollars to buy votes using the "COVID crisis" as an excuse) and then raise taxes and hope people forget over the next 4 years, or just keep...

I'm looking at getting back into mountain biking after a decade of being homeless (traveling). It seems that a lot has changed over the years with respect to 1x gearing, drop posts, and new geometry!...

Yea, that's what I was going for. Regret not picking up an Uigeadail as well but I'll keep watching for the next sale.

I don't have photos but yesterday my UK-based whisky group picked up a cask...

So you're saying there won't be an election?

I'm learning Spanish... slowly.

My wife is Spanish but when we met she was learning English so our relationship has always been based on speaking English at home.

I took classes in Medellin,...

A worthwhile read from Ray Dalio:

I don´t think rich guys buyingcars/boats etc. are so much for inflation protection but moreso a result of the S&P 500 doubling in the last 5 years thanks to fiscal and monetary policy.

Thanks man - hope your work shit works out okay. Nothing wrong with the occasional Kokanee!

The National Post gets it:...

Ouch. Another 800-1000 layoffs due to the Cenovus acquisition of Husky coming this week.

Kielburgers caught lying. No surprise but it seems most Canadians wouldn't care if the government heated Parliament by burning piles of cash so I don't expect anything to come of this...

There's cheaper margin available for most "investments". E.g. interactive brokers offers margin at <1% and most banks will lend at low rates for sensible investments.

Perhaps that's what makes them relate to the Liberals lol

Does anyone use a VPN to watch free feeds from other countries? Or does that not work anymore.

We probably agree more than I understood - your definition of "hyperinflation" is just drastically different.

I certainly wouldn't bet against 5-10% annual inflation over the next few years by...

^You're even more cynical than me.
