$687 per unit in a 4 plex doesn’t even cover his overhead to pay the mortgage, insurance, taxes, and maintenance…. And where’s your profit? As sad as this is it’s 2025 and everything has gone up. Not his fault.

Trump didn't "tear him a new one" as you suggest. It is not required to blither like an idiot for no reason. He has been busy working on trade arrangements, both interprovincial and overseas. What would you have him do? entertain Trump on a daily basis?

You are clueless as to why pavement systems are not lasting as long anymore. The main reason is you can't buy good bitumen tar anymore - with more technological advances a barrel of crude oil is more efficiently refined to higher priced petroleum derivatives (higher octane gases, better quality diesels, etc.) which produce greater revenues for the refiner. Asphalt is made from "the bottom of the barrel" sludge of the refining process. Now, the sludge is of lower quality because it has been refined out to other products. The resulting bitumen is not as pliable and cohesive as in years past... This leads to failure of the pavement. Concrete roads perform the best and last 25-40 years with proper maintenance but are 2-3x the cost of asphalt which lasts at best 12-15 years.

People gripe like little kids and act like the Soo is the worst place ever with a City that does nothing. We live in the North and it is a fact of life; our weather goes to both extremes putting any road materials to the test. The City can't work miracles and won't get better until temperatures remain above 10C so they can fix the roads with the proper hot mix.

Imagine that—wasting your time and energy hating someone you've never met and over things that really don't affect you. Imagine if you could use your artistic talents to create something positive to make the world a better place instead of wasting precious food. A waste of precious time that you can never get back.

"...where does the rest of the money go..."? It's the same place all publically traded corporate money goes - TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. The majority of Algoma Steel's shareholders are American hedge funds.

It's made of Corten steel, a group of steel alloys that rust naturally to form a protective layer that resists corrosion. Corten steel is often used for outdoor construction, such as sculptures, structures, and landscaping. No paint to maintain and it's patenia will blend in with the natural surroundings.

#1 of the G7?! You are joking right? We are dead last! We have the highest debt ($1.2 TRILLION) of any G7 country.... That's slightly larger than our GDP, meaning we have more debt than what we produce and sell on a yearly basis! We have a credit card that we will never pay off and can barely make interest payments thanks to Little Boy Blunder and the Liberal party. Carney is only looking after himself.

US liquor is sold on consignment. The LCBO doesn't pay for it until it's sold in the store, no different than cars sold at a dealership. The amount on consignment depends on your sales performance, the more you can sell, they more they give you up front.

We should be more focused on electing a strong and cohesive government that can reign in the fiscal waste that the Liberals bestowed upon us. Right now, that is part of our problem; in the eyes of the world, we appear weak... our economy is weak, and we are 1.3 TRILLION in debt, slightly larger than our GDP.... This means we spend more on our debt than we make.... Once again, thanks to 10 years of Liberal rule.
