- Landlords are delusional as fuck, laws need to be made to ban this nonsense. Who do they even expect to rent at this price? Anyone who can afford it can buy something better than a 2 bed 1 bath apartment. (63)
EN: Landlords are fucking delusional, there need to be laws against this kind of bullshit. Who do they even expect to rent at that price? Anyone who can afford this can afford something better than a 2 bed 1 bath apartment. - Marathon has similar rent prices. In the long run, in the last census, the median annual income in Marathon was $50,000. Before COVID, the price was $650, now it's $2500. I often hear people on Reddit say move to a smaller town, but doing so just pushes our local population into Thunder Bay's tent city. (33)

I hear people on Reddit say move to a smalle - Yeah, my rent is over $1550, and my mom's rent elsewhere is over $1100. So we decided to buy a house. I hate the rental situation in this town right now :( I also see some houses we're interested in suddenly being rented out at ridiculous prices. (20)

Then my sister blew her tire on William street street between the bridge an - The city is missing a number in the algebra they use when doing road construction. They need to study the proposed methods and calculate how long they last before needing redo. If a method costs 10% more per km but lasts 15% longer, the cost per km-year is lower. Once you know how often it needs redoing, you can budget road construction as a fixed cost rather than as a response to spring. (18)
EN: The city is missing one figure from the algebra they use for handing out road work.. They need to look at the proposed method and calculate how long it lasts before it need to be redone. If a method costs 10% more per KM - Time to raise taxes or add management staff! (11)
EN: Time for higher taxes or more managers!
3. How can Tim Hortons say they can't find Canadians to hire? （ 68 ｜ 42 ｜ 13）
Original English title:How is Tim Hortons saying they can’t find Canadians to hire?
Post content summary:Hi everyone, I saw a baker job posting at Tim Hortons and noticed it's listed under LMIA. This basically means they told the government they can't find a Canadian to fill the position, which honestly surprised me. If you're looking for a job right now, maybe try applying and see what happens. If you don't hear back, it might be worth flagging through the job bank, because LMIA jobs should prioritize Canadians first. https://preview.redd.it/okm3p58n9xqg1.png?width=830

- Because the "Canadian" job pays $17.70 a week. They refuse to raise wages. News flash Tim Hortons, I pay a premium, but my employees don't quit... Retaining employees is more cost-effective (45)

It should be for attracting labor to struggling industries like agriculture, not as a minimum wage loophole for businesses (30)

Original English title:Debt consolidation
Post content summary:People used to get help getting out of some consumer debt (credit cards) by seeking advice from a financial advisor. Currently mainly on one card, looking for the possibility of getting a loan at a lower interest rate. This isn't something I'm proud of and can overcome.

- Glad you're tackling this. I went through the same thing 20 years ago. I can't recommend any consolidators, but I'm totally a caveman and used the snowball method to eliminate my debt. It's shocking how much cash I wasted due to interest payments and my junk habits. Good luck (7)

- Ignore the snarky replies ;) Great neighborhood. Decent building - it's an old high school, so the foundation and basic structure are very solid - shouldn't have any big capital surprises in the future. Some units feel small. Nice amenities, and easy to rent out if you want. People I know who live there are really happy. Condo fees and property taxes are high. (9)
EN: Ignore the snarky replies ;) Great neighbourhood. Decent build - it’s an old high school so the foundation and basic structure is really solid - shouldn’t be any big capital surprises down the road. Some of the units fee - Why is that weird? They're probably selling the units they built. (6)
EN: What's odd about it? They're probably selling the units they finish building. - Yeah, that's right. They're building brand new condos there. (5)

8. I want to experience a mid-to-high-end turntable setup （ 16 ｜ 6 ｜ 5）
Original English title:I'd like to experience a mid-high end turntable setup
Post content summary:I really trust random strangers, but here we go. I'm new to collecting vinyl and listening to records. My basic setup includes an Audio-Technica LP60 and a pair of Edifier bookshelf speakers. Nothing special, but it fits the space we have and where we listen to music. I'm thinking about upgrading to a whole new setup, but with a preamp and amp and a pair of more powerful speakers. The thing is, there's a lot to consider, so

Featured comments:
- I'm a murderer, so I won't invite you over, but I'll give you my opinion. Older records have all the pop and grunge. I love it, but from an audiophile perspective, it ruins the experience. Also consider your hearing ability. Due to work and not wearing earplugs at concerts, my hearing is slightly damaged. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between mid-range and high-end equipment. Again, just my opinion. I love hunting for wax and try to go to as many (2)
EN: I'm a murder so I won't invite you over but I will give you my opinion. The older records all pop and fuzz. I love it but from an audiophile perspective it ruins the experience. Also take into consideration your hearing - You'll have a hard time beating the sound quality of the Audio Technica turntable and Edifier speakers. Look into Chinese hifi companies like SMSL and Fosi Audio. I ordered an SMSL amp from AliExpress and connected it to Klipsch reference speakers, and so far I've had a great experience. Make sure to wipe all old records with a microfiber cloth before playing. (2)
