u/UndeniableTruth-

With HBC gone, the old warehouse has been sitting empty now for months and is up for lease.

It’s hard to imagine anything would take over this 740,000 sqft space. There’s already 2 Costcos and 2 walmarts nearby.

If anything could take it over, it would be probably be an Amazon warehouse which would be incredible for jobs in the area, but that’s highly unlikely.

Is there anything that could fill the hole left by HBC?

No update on toronto.ca but hearing from neighbours that it’s about to get underway. Anyone have any info?

Looking to see if anyone has tested their home and confirmed existence of asbestos...

Trying to get an idea on what the 160k km service with timing belt replacement will cost for my MDX.

2022 MDX.

I'm looking at purchasing a used CX-90 PHEV with under 50K km for about $40K CAD.

While researching though I'm coming across so many people saying the PHEV has major issues, the vehicle being ranked low for reliability on many lists, and even lemon law claims against it.

My entire reason for buying it is because I've had 2 reliable Mazda's before and was looking to get this as my third, but now I'm not so sure. Is the unreliability overstated?

I was just watching a video from TheStraightPipes on a review of the CX-90 and they mentioned not being able to charge at home with a standard outlet without electrical upgrades.

I thought the whole point of the level 1 chargers were that they were plug and play and no expensive electrical upgrades required, what gives?

I'm looking to move from my V6 gas guzzling ICE SUV to an electric SUV and the prices of the e-tron caught my eye. Is there a catch? or is it just typical EV + German depreciation?

What are the major problems I could expect? The e-tron I'm looking at only has 40K km.

Don't get me wrong, travel has always been a popular and sought after activity for people to spend their time and money on, especially in wealthy western countries.

However, since 2010 with the boom of social media and digital advertising, it has been taken to entirely new levels. The idea being sold today is that since travel is an "experience", it's a much better expense than other "materialistic" expenditures. In reality, you're just giving your money to a different corporation that first spent boat loads of money to get the idea into your mind and now expects to make cruise ship loads of money from you acting on that idea.

Travel was something people looked to spend their money on in their middle ages, when they had raised and sent off their kids to college and were in high paying jobs with lots of money and free time.

Today, it's starting to become the #1 reason people save for and earn for, instead of being much needed rest while you live your life and work towards your goals, travel has become the goal. You've got people in their 20s living in tiny apartment spending 50-80% of their income on rent, yet many choose to spend what little they can save on frequent travel.

I may sound like some old dude but I'm not even in my 30s yet and this is just something I noticed when I got into the corporate world, how in the world are people going on international trips 3 times a year when they are barely making enough to scrape by?
