i have about $100k USD in GICs expiring and need to move into a short-term account from june - november. where is the best place to park it for that duration? better to hold as USD until i need to use it as CAD in november, or convert to CAD now? thanks in advance.
hi all, i'm looking for advice for my mother's condo in western canada.
since she moved in last year, there have been multiple bouts of flooding from neighbours, not her own unit. this flooding has caused damage to the floorboards of our unit, which i'm worried will cause mold and require expensive repairs. the building is only ~4 years old. there have been other issues like safety concerns (attempted burglary of storage unit, strangers coming in the building to use gym facilities etc.), and the building management/concierge are incredibly dismissive. they even suggested that my mother's english was not understandable, which is completely ridiculous. she has an accent as english is not her first language, but she speaks perfectly well.
we've complained multiple times, in person and by email. they always dismiss the issues and damage, or say they will do something then never follow up. i'm now trying to get in contact with building community groups and the strata council, but it doesn't affect multiple units, and they are not that active.
any suggestions for a first time condo owner trying to help my mum. thank you in advance.
i learned some elderly family members are going to yellowstone for june 4-6 (roadtripping) and have yet to book any accommodations. is this a terrible idea? i'm looking at airbnbs in west yellowstone, but they're all about an hour drive away. nothing seems to be available inside the park. i'm scrambling a bit to help book what they want, but i myself am not going and have never been. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
