@kalpeshmak16 I think by dangling water issue (now that the treaty is in abeyance) BJP can swing votes.
Never know, all cracks till date had been non-lenear yet, so expect on those lines.

@julyone_modi There are theories and I have mine. Every one cracks once the threat or a perceived threat from others cross a threshold. Don't see it happening in PB anytime soon. But in sports, politics and mkts, never say never !!

@julyone_modi Cracking PB (if it were to happen ever, I don't think they can) would be a much bigger win than any other. Also, imp. as the border state !!

@VJsapps @julyone_modi One can't wrong with BAPS. Shreeji has much wider Gujarati menu, Jagdish is relatively new place tastefully done, skews towards street food and serves select PB/hakka too. Poppadum Burlington does spicy MH misal and vadapao the best. Not an either/or choice, try all, 😀 !!

Dear Gujju friends in Canada, so you have been cheating us all this time , just like how we have been giving rasam with dal as sambhar 😂

Let me educate non Gujaratis on X. 😜 All these are not dhoklas. 1. Dhokla 2. Nylon Khaman 3. Vati Dal Na Khaman 4. Idada So from today whenever you call everything dhokla, remember this post. By the way we have few more such varieties to confuse you more. 🤣

@kalpeshmak16 @VJsapps How will you rate it compared to shreejis at Brampton?
By far my go-to place.
English
@VJsapps Hahaha !! Puns aside but Jagdish Farshan at Brampton is worth a visit for some authentic Gujarati dhoklas/khamans/snacks and Mumbai street food !!

@JonFlynnREstats Lately the pricing of Costco and Petro Canada is not much apart. Definitely not worth staying in the queue.
English
Gas is getting so expensive I may have to re-activate my Costco membership.
English
@kalpeshmak16 Now I believe there is much more room in terms of tax cuts to manage the final costing on pump to remain same.
Earlier the exchequer was paying in terms of subsidy which the current government does not need.
English
A complete circle. UPA subsidizing retail fuel for far too long than they should have led to their fall and now NDA is staring at the same dilemma !!
Harsh Gupta Madhusudan@harshmadhusudan
Given that the West Asia crisis has lasted for more than two months now, I think it is time for the Indian government to consider price hikes for retail petroleum products. I fully expect this to be unpopular initially, but we cannot cross-subsidise energy imports when their price are so high. Moreover it sends the wrong price signals to energy transition investments particularly on the end-use side, such as electric vehicles and hybrids etc. The government got a lot of questions on the ethanol/flex fuel idea, and understandably so, but we will have to move on that too. Simultaneously coal gasification on a war footing is needed. There are limitations to this idea too - environmental and otherwise - but we are currently far from those limits. Overall, we cannot shield the public from global prices beyond a limit. The situation is very dynamic and some of these measures may not be needed, but I am sure the responsible decision will be taken in the end as appropriate. Creating some fiscal space while allowing some inflation passthrough may also not be tactically imprudent given that the deflator has been sub-4 for a long time, but the term premium has risen a lot over the last year or so.

@kalpeshmak16 @TheophanesRex @macleans This is largely due to the previous cohort had it bit easy when it gets to getting PR. That raised the expectation of latter cohorts coupled with greed of local administration that unchecked the balance of numbers.
English
@TheophanesRex @macleans Darshan, know so many Indian families that move on temp profiles worldwide and they all know the risk. The story here isn't about that. Somewhere Aus and CAN messed up on temps so bad that only those temps moving to these two locations behave entitled to permanent status later !!

“We paid Canadian taxes, opened bank accounts, signed multi-year leases and made friends. But it all amounted to disappointment and heartache. The federal government was tightening the system and cutting permanent residency spots. And we had to leave.” macleans.ca/longforms/almo…

@VarunSriskanda Show me something that is more permanent than a temporary plan by government.
English
The federal government has provided funding for the Region of Durham to purchase what was once a Comfort Inn, located at 533 Kingston Road in Pickering.
This will be used as a dedicated space providing temporary housing for asylum claimants in Durham Region.

@niccruzpatane Not everyone has a home charger/ability to put one.
Relying on public charger is dangerous, for a place that has 6 months of cold climate.
English
If you live in Ontario, Canada it honestly doesn’t make sense to drive anything else but an EV. It should be the only vehicle you should be considering right now.
With the Ultra-Low Overnight plan you can charge for just $0.039 (CDN) per kWh before taxes and delivery.
Besides using Solar, this is one of the cheapest electricity rates in the entire world.
Charging an EV at home would be practically free compared to filling up gas in a comparable vehicle.

I now enjoy listening to this podcast Ek Laadi Pav. I do not have to retain anything they say as it is just random shit talking and raat ko mujhe acchi neendh aati hai unko sunte hue. Mast bande hai. And it is a very Mumbai podcast.

@ManyBeenRinsed Viola is shutting it's delivery business, right??

On a walk and I’ve never seen so many Voila trucks making grocery deliveries and landscapers edging lawns with Canadian flags frolicking off porches.
I’ve never been so bullish on Canada long term.

@RishiKBakshi You think so?
Just implement a law that no assignment will be allowed and buyes will have to close or forfeit deposit.
See how many will cancel in the cooling off period!!
English
@julyone_modi Too many failed assignments for people to be that reckless. As well, the pre-approval requirement is physical. Needs to be official. Imagine being the mortgage broker willing to take the risk and blame for a false pre-approval. Not as common as you think today.
English
Completely sold out. Why? 3000+ sqft detached homes and entry level towns with 1400sqft starting at $700k. Average neighbourhood HH incomes at $271k. Entry level was 3x local income. Detached was about 4.5-5x local income. If you're focused on aggregates you're missing the point.
English
@RishiKBakshi Well, mortgages were approved at 5x or more as well. Trick remains same unless cra verification is enabled.
Also, many want to book as upfront cost is 10k and assignment is free.
Imagine if you get someone willing to pay 30k for your allocation.
English
@julyone_modi Pre-approval was needed with each application. Is it really surprising when you consider the entry level units were sold at 3x income?
English
@david_parker It's median. So half of population is earning less than that figure. That is roughly 20 million.
How they survive, go figure.
English
The median income for a Canadian is $42,600 CAD a year. I have absolutely no clue how a person survives in the modern world on this kind of income. It is incomprehensible to me.
English
@boomerbillf @VinLeafs Why can't they afford the house at 5% interest rate when you could manage to get a house at 15%. They need to work hard, life ain't easy.
English
We need advice:
Our adult son just asked for help with a down payment on a house for his wife & children
Nobody helped us - we bought a starter home & worked hard
Our son often has a Starbucks coffee when he visits with our grandkids
Why should we reward this behaviour?

I hated the ICICI NRO/NRE banking experience so much that I closed my account today.
I already knew Indian banking isn’t great, but I assumed a top bank like ICICI would be manageable. I was wrong. The experience was terrible. I don’t understand how people regularly use these accounts.
- The app fails to work most of the time.
- ICICI representatives sometimes call me in the middle of the night just to check if everything's okay.
- They ask me to redo KYC every year. That’s fine, but the process is outdated. I had to download forms, fill them manually, sign with ink, print documents, and attest everything. It feels like 2015.
- I get account closure warnings every six months if I don’t use it. This might make sense for regular accounts, but not for NRE accounts. I live in the US and don’t use it often. These limits shouldn’t apply as long as there’s sufficient balance. To keep it active, I had to make a ₹1 transaction. Since the app doesn’t work, I had to log in through the website.
- Until recently, they didn’t allow password manager autofill. I had to manually type a 14-character random password every time.
There are many more issues I’m probably forgetting. Overall, a very frustrating experience.
If you had good experience with any others Indian banks with NRE/NRO accounts please let me know.
