Nope! Still in Japan! Moved from Yokohama to Kobe! No plans to move back to Canada lol

So I'm going to be homeless soon?

Next meet up in my newly purchased cardboard box on avenue road, because this is going to fuck me over royaly
WTF? I have 2 pets.
Increase of my already ridiculous rent, possible banning of my pets or if not, a pet tax on top of an increased rent.
"for the people" my ass. Fuck right off Doug Ford.
This better not be true.
Umm that is stupid, and this is coming from someone who works in real estate. Landlords have plenty of power already by owning property, they don't need to be overbearing as fuck.
Nope. It was also posted at RFD. I guess we gotta wait for this "awesome" news
Where did this rain come from, the forecast said it would be clear tonight, I got caught in it leaving the Jays game!! Water was shooting out of the sewers, manhole covers were coming a bit off the road!!!!

Hope everyone was doing alright from yesterdays flood. By the way FUCK FORD. We're going to keep seeing extreme weather like this and damage to our city because this idiot is cancelling initiatives for mitigating climate change.
and..denying reality.

Lmao, somehow she's on Twitter but somehow missed everything that night? Speaking of Lisa McLeod,

I didn't even know this existed. The article says the previous government had trouble signing people up for this, but how? I know at least a couple of people who would have benefited from this. As far as I know they weren't signed up though.

^ The early reports were very promising. There was an article about it a few months ago. The fact that hey aren't releasing any of the data showing that it's "failing" is telling. Besides, like th article said it was a pilot. They really need go the full 3 years to determine failure or success.
And she's flat out stupid to claim there was no chaos after the rain.

I agree. Besides that people weren't filing taxes, there was no evidence presented in the article to suggest failure. It's hard to see how failing to file taxes is a failure of the program anyway.
I'll be going to the University of Toronto as an undergrad in 3 weeks.
What bank would be best for a daily needs account? Just about all of the big five + HSBC seems to have programs/packets/special promotions for international students but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with student-oriented accounts. If not, I'd love to hear any general feedback about the banks as well (customer service, accounts, branch availability etc)

They're all probably going to be the same, to be honest.
Branch availability isn't going to be a problem either, if you're staying downtown. There's a big CIBC at the corner of Spadina and College - so basically right at the SW corner of the St. George campus. There's also a BMO up on the north end, near the St. George subway station. The other banks have branches that are a bit further, but certainly within walking distance, from campus.
If you are a student, you can get certain savings accounts for free where they waive the minimum balance requirement. I believe at bmo, it's called the plus plan. You will need to bring proof of enrollment every year.
Though imo if you have enough money to stick in a savings account and not touch it, then just start a TFSA and get some mutual funds or something.
Most of them do have programs of some sort to stay competitive. It makes them mostly blend together.
TD is pretty good in terms of branch office hours. They tend to be open for longer than other banks, so if you need to swing by a branch after office hours, they are more likely to be open. This doesn't matter if you just need to use an ATM though, since those can be used anytime.
Tangerine is pretty good in terms of rewards and fees, but they have no physical locations, so it's probably not the best place if you need to stop by an ATM and withdraw/deposit money now and then. They may be good as a secondary bank account for moving money around for bills and stuff.
Was pondering the Danforth, but have never heard of the 'Asian night market' before. Can you give me a rundown on it?
https://www.waterfrontnightmarket.com/
Pan-Asian food venue that is at Ontario place hosted by T&T Grocery store.
I believe it's open till midnight.
I was near university of Toronto Scarborough campus and some dude ran up on me and said hes from Chicago and he needed money to fill up a Jerry can so he can get to his car that broke dow to drive to his wife cause her water just broke and the ambulance took her. I know it's a scam from past experience so I lied and said I had no money. It always seems to happen in this area. Kinda sad that people have to resort to doing this to get by. Anyone been in a similar situation.
Mostly Xmas stuff, skating and selected rides open
Might be more interesting than the Distillery District market, but I wonder how much admission will be

Wonderland closed is more interesting than the Distillery Christmas Market
I've been in Wonderland while it's closed, this is a true statement lol
You might be able to participate in casuals matches, and there are usually a couple booths set up for stuff to buy as well, but nothing major.

Any advice or guidance?

I didn't know The Fish Store on College burned down. That sucks. I'm calling an audible and getting a sandwich at P.J. Clucks next to The Royal right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

September is such an unknown for me that I think all those dates could work (or might not work lol).
Ehh.. If it works it sure would be nice. Don't care about the app functionality but the service reviews are all over the place on Google play store.
