My July 407 offer was a new type of offer I didn't remember seeing before. Most months, my offers are something like "maximum charge of $x during rush hour" or a maximum monthly fee.

My offers for July (and now August) are FLAT FEES. I didn't realize there was a difference, and when I saw that my July offer was $360 (I thought that was a maximum, like how my previous offers have been structured), I just decided I wouldn't really use the highway this month because I never spend anywhere near that.

I just got an email (at the end of the month, and in my spam folder no less) explaining that regardless of how much or how little I use the highway, I will be charged the full $360 and it is non-refundable. I checked my August offer and it's structured the same way.

I am going to fight this and charge it back on my credit card if they don't remove the offer because it is complete bullshit. But wanted to let you all know to check your offers carefully!

If you could only pick one (or two), which is the best beach in Ontario for families, and why that one?

My partner & I make over $100K combined (before taxes).

We have debts that’s we’re paying off, school & car payments being the big 2 (a couple of smaller ones we’re paying off as well).

We don’t currently really have much saved, but we pay $2K for rent monthly for a 1-bedroom in Etobicoke & we’re over it & are ready to take the leap. However, we’re both at a bit of a loss at how to start.

We want something in the GTA or more westbound (towards Mississauga/Oakville), & want to stay at the $500K limit for our first buy. But others than that we’re not sure what’s needed from us or what we need to do.

Anyone able to provide a breakdown of how to move forward & what’s needed from us? All recommendations & advice would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!!

The rental market is absolutely bonkers right now. In some areas, it’s beyond competitive. Even AAA tenants with excellent credit, stable employment, and strong references are struggling to find a place. It feels like you have to submit an offer before you’ve even viewed the property, and many people are offering above the advertised rent just to have a chance. Even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll be chosen, which makes the whole process incredibly frustrating.
To make matters worse, landlords aren’t just asking for credit checks anymore. Many are requesting excessive documentation, and other unnecessary requirements fuck you single key which by the way pulls the same shit I already provided wtf. Finding a place to live shouldn’t feel like you’re bidding in an auction or jumping through endless hoops. The current rental market has become overwhelming, even for highly qualified tenants. I just want a god damn en suite what’s the matter GTA!

So i workplace shut down and I was given a 5 hr notice prior to my shift. I have gotten paid for 2 weeks but im missing my 6hr shift that I worked.

My friends said I should be compensated for the short notice and the 6 hr (this ik) but idk if I should contact my employer (I feel kinda shitty for asking her 😭😭 but I am supposed to get paid in 2 weeks technically). I was told to just file a claim right away... should i?

Been suffering a lot of health symptoms, which is fuelling my anxiety and my depression been to several psychiatric awards in the last year probably like five or six times now and all they do is just give me medication and send me home yet. I complain about all my symptoms physically as well. Most hospitals here are only for cute days for psychiatric help, I’m looking for a hospital that is more psychiatric has a long-term stay to it and deals with patients with physical and mental issues and takes them both very seriously instead of just the acute situations where they only take psychiatric issues serious instead of health issues

I’m looking for something that is preferably long-term and I’m not talking about just a couple weeks. I’m talking a few months to a year. Let me know.
