    Pfizer says vaccine trials 90% effective

    If this works out, governments will be able to put the brakes on stimulus, or at least substantially reduce what they are pumping out. The stimulus could have been fuel for the markets so far. Many tech stocks and high flyers already got hit today as a result of the vaccine news.

    Sabrine from the fish plant

    Dumb question but why do they call it the fish plant? I keep seeing this term in the threads but honestly don't know what it means.

    Offshore corp and bank account

    If you’re spending 90% of your time down south, any possibility of arguing you’re a resident of the US under the treaty? They generally have lower rates than up here.

    Hobbyists Read Differently

    Thanks ExoticCharmer. How did you add that attachment? The insert image button asks for a URL but I've no idea how to do that.

    Hobbyists Read Differently

    This isn't meant to be political. Just saw this reference to "making PSE more affordable" and got all excited. https://2019.liberal.ca/our-platform/a-responsible-fiscal-plan/ (fifth item listed under the New Investments Choosing Forward section -- sorry, don't know how to attach a screen shot...

    Wife of real estate developer gets $95,000 monthly alimony in Quebec divorce

    I really have difficulty understanding this if the husband was the one that contributed most to the marriage. Part of the privilege for the wife to be with the husband is that she gets to enjoy his hard work. If she is choosing to leave, then the benefits should be gone as well.

    Iphone 6+ - catastrophic failure / design flaw

    I'm not sure if I've been running into the same problem. I've a 6s and my screen freezes up occasionally when I download new OS updates. One trick that seems to work is to press the home button and the power button together to reboot the phone. When it comes up, try to disable the finger...

    Who is Canada's Femaile of the year 2016 ? Brooke Henderson or Penny Oleksiak

    So happy to see so many Canadian women performing so well on the world stage. Apart from Oleksiak and Henderson, we also heard a lot about Eugenie Bouchard this year.

    Apple Pay

    Thanks for the update, although I really never understand why use debit when there is credit available.

    Apple Pay

    I've been using Apple Pay with the watch for a while now and love how convenient it is. But, one of the restrictions was that I could only use it at places where Amex is accepted. I just saw that the Canadian banks have finally agreed to offer Apple Pay as well. So, adding my Visa should help...

    "Devastated" day trader turns to GoFundMe to cover $106,000 Margin call

    Just want to point out that stop losses can be skipped over. In this case, with the price moving so quickly, I would not be surprised if stop loss orders, even if they were placed, would not get filled. Another poster mentioned options. For this situation, that would have been a much better...

    Cne

    I went this year and especially enjoyed the skating show. On top of featuring Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, they combined the skating with acrobatics. The show alone was worth the admission IMHO. Also enjoy just walking around seeing the various exhibitors and playing some of the Midway games...

    Where can I print sexual photos in Toronto?

    About two years ago, I was at a Black's on a weekday morning to get my photos printed and noticed the girl next to me was uploading topless photos to be developed. I regret not getting to know her -- was in a state of surprise and couldn't find the words. Anyway, you can consider Black's...

    No Votes For Long-term Non-residents

    I also agree with the ruling. In terms of earning income from Canada and paying tax on it, that just makes sense. Everywhere you go, if you earn money from a country, you pay tax to that country. It has nothing to do with voting rights. If you own shares of Walt Disney and you get a...

    Canada needs to stop rewarding failure and punishing everyone else

    +1! Definitely should be just based on basic needs. Give people some incentive to strive to work harder if they want something beyond basic needs. This thread also reminds me of the situation in Greece where people are balking at austerity but still expecting to take vacations!

    Will we make contact with alien life in the next 10 years?

    Apart from just searching through the vastness of the universe, we also have to be lucky enough that the other intelligent life exists during our lifetime. There may have been many civilizations that have already come and gone and we may or may not find traces of them.

    Damn It! I can't ever seem to say/spell that word!!

    I'm also uncertain how Caribbean is supposed to be pronounced? "Care-i-be-in" or "Cur-rib-be-in" or something else? Another one is anemone.

    Best device for tracking calories burned and fitness activities

    I was looking at the Garmin Fenix 3 as well, but just on the internet and haven't physically tried it. Be interested in hearing your real life experience with it if you get it. As for the Apple Watch, I wear one because I find it useful, apart from just the fitness tracking. Cool or not to...

    Chinese market meltdown - are we screwed?

    Also read some commentary that indicates that investments in the stock market only comprise about 15% of household wealth in China. So, although losing some of the profits might suck, I'm not sure it's really that bad to have the market slow down from its unsustainable pace.
