My spouse decided to move her Fido to Rogers, she was on the phone with a rep from Rogers and agreed on a plan.
The next step was to get the SIM card - Rep said that Rogers will not start charging her until she has the new line activated (once sims are swapped basically).
However she is already been charged by Rogers even she has not yet activated the line . Plus she also continues to pay Fido.
For now she still runs on Fido because we are away for a little while and the new sim is at home .

How is it possible to pay for 2 services when there is one single phone number , hence one single service activated ?

The Rep said porting only takes place once the sim is installed , which is not already done .

Thank you for explaining this to me please

Hi everyone
Deposit and vacation question

Our toddler has been going to a at home daycare since March and we have to move in September .
The care giver is having her vacation (4 weeks) mid August to mid September. 3 weeks paid, 1 unpaid .

Should vacation be paid at pro rata rate as we do not stay the whole year actually ?
It was not necessarily the plan but life plan is changing a little.

I m ok to pay her the full vacation time honestly but now she kind of say we can’t get our deposit back because it is used to pay full month , not including vacation.

We gave her 2 months notice but she says it doesn’t count because the notice includes the vacation

I am lost .

It feels it a fair to pay her full vacation for only 6 months stay, but again, nanny game is hard so fair enough.

She is not official daycare and actually breaches the amount of kids she can manage (5 for one person), again we shut our eyes due to the competition.

Now she wants to keep the deposit and deduct the 4 weeks from the notice , asking full month for August .

What s the rule for PTO and daycare when stay is less than a year ?
Should vacation not be considered as work time in regards of notice ?

Thanks

I finally decide to ask some advice as I m tired of not getting more than 200Mb/s (average ) on a 1G pure fibre plan .

I have a T3200 modem that is also the Wifi AP
There is 1G coming to the modem and test as such .

My apartment is about 600sqft , no concrete walls and I am never more than 10 meters from the modem.

I use devices such as iPhone 15 and MacBook (2026)

Trying to talk about it to Telus but the only thing the person I had say it to rent a wifi booster or to use Ethernet .

I don’t think it s unreasonable to ask a better wifi speed , who use Ethernet at home in such a small place .

Is the booster my only option ? Telus or aftermarket then ?

Should I ask for a more recent modem than the T3200 instead ?

I quickly read than a booster may not integrate as a mesh network with the t3200 .

Thank you , with some advice I can call Telus back with a better idea of what I should ask .

1- cashback high interest savings (between $100 to $1000 depending on which bank)
https://cashback.highinterestsavings.ca

I opened an Amex Gold credit card and a Preferred chequing account, both with Scotiabank.

- Amex card: $150* from the cashback website + 50,000 points from Scotia
- Chequing account : $100* from the cashback website + $500 ** after 6 months from Scotia.

(*) this site is better than Finder as it give you direct cash (e-transfer) or Amazon card , Finder gives you a Visa card that s difficult to use in my opinion.

(**) these amounts change all the time , it’s actually even more now than in Jan 2026 when I signed up.

Plus you get $25 bonus for using my referral. CCFCFLE (Instructions in comments)

You don’t have to choose Scotia , BMO could be a good option too if you’re r looking for their cards specifically, good cashback on the chequing/savings but the condition seem harder than Scotia.

2- Simplii Financial (between $50 to $400)

This is an online bank I like to use mostly because of no fees and all the bonus they propose regularly.

Here is a breakdown:

- Referal bonus $50 with the code 6FRNhb
- Open checking account (no fee) and deposit 3x $100 : bonus $300 + $50 SkipTheDishes gift card

Optional:
- Open Visa (no fee) for $100 cashback on the first $500 , that’s 20% cashback !

bonuses are paid quickly , a few days after you matched the conditions

Hi
I have my abound Sr for 2 weeks only (92km) and today it acted very erratically.
It was basically loosing any kind of assist , including throttle, then would come back a few seconds later .

It felt dangerous as I couldn’t start quickly at red lights and stop sign and had to just pedal through the intersection… then assist comes back.

It happened many times on the 5km from daycare to home . Unpredictable behaviour .

I stopped to turned Off and On the bike but it kept happening.

What could cause the assist to cut off like that and come back , and then cut off again ?

I placed a support ticket with Aventon and emailed my dealer .

Note : before it happened I saw a E25 error .
So I unplugged and re plugged the brake sensor. No change.
Thank you
Edit : include throttle failure

I was under the impression that it should , however it doesn’t seem to be the case.
I let the bike 10 minutes , it shut down but the kick stand was not locked .

Is that by design or a missing feature ?
What would be the reason not to lock the bike when shutting down on its own ?

Would that keep a bike secure as much as an Abus or other reputable brand ?

Or is this just pretty weak compared to others?

If yes, any lock to recommend ?

I have an Abound SR.

Thank you.

Hi,
There is very little to almost none reviews .
Just wondering if anyone here has this model and how happy / not happy are you with it ?

We want to replace our gracco Modes and the PeG is on sale now .
Usage is city , public transit and very light trails .

We use our stroller a lot as we don’t have a car.
Handling , folding and comfort are important but we don’t have the budget for a uppa baby or maxi cozy .

Thanks

Anyone has installed a child seat , like a Thule Yepp on the GoMad ?
Is there enough room without hitting the kid with your feet ?
With this GoMad being released recently, I am now reconsidering which bike I should get to carry a toddler - I was until now focused on the Abound SR from Aventon .

I have been looking for a few weeks for a bike that can be used to commute with a toddler(1yo) and the Abound seemed to be the best candidate .

It seems some people are having issue with hitting the child seat with their feet, (Thule yepp nexxt 2) .

Anybody using that bike and a child seat ?
Thanks for the feedback.

Are they planning to phase out the current abound (SR) to a newer version soon ?
Most the shops Canada wide are out of stock and even Aventon Canada is.
It seems like the Abound SR in its current form has been around since 2023 or 2024 ( not exactly sure).

As I am interested in the SR I would just be mad to buy a model that it s on its way out for a newer version.

I consider Simplii as my alternate bank that I use for all the nice bonus they offer here and there .

Lately I signed up for their Visa no fees credit card as they offer 20% cashback for the 3 first months !
- max spend allowed is $500, therefore the bonus is max $100
- this is an extremely easy and achievable goal , spend $500 in 3 months , get $100 back !
-* has to be spent on groceries, pharmacy or bills.
- you can still get 4% back on bars, restaurant too

This is only the credit card part, I use Simplii every time they have a bonus .

Earlier this year I got $30 back for setting up a one time PaD payment, again easy money.

And , as a new member You would potentially gain much more .
- Welcome bonus upon referral = $50 bonus
- Open a free chequing account (deposit min$100 per month for 3 months ) = $300 bonus
- There is more to explore but I haven’t tried , like global transfer .

Here is a referral code for you 6FRNhb
