You are correct, the cost of certain items are very similar in Toronto and up in Peterborough. Food might be similarity priced, but I can't see the price of car insurance being the same, and we all know from our travels up there that at times, gas is up to .10 (or more)cheaper that in the big smoke. When comparing the costs of renting vs. the cost of ownership there is absolutely no way you are getting the same living space, dollar for dollar renting in either places - what I mean by that, is the amount of space you can get for the same dollar - a $600/mth room is closet space in downtown TO, while in Peterborough you probably could get an older small detached or a well equipped basement apartment. When buying a detached home for example, $600k gets you a good sized home in Peterborough, and in Toronto (proper) hardly buys you a parking space lol - avg detached home in Toronto is $800k++, and the average detached home in Peterborough is just under $400k - So if me and my wife gross say $200k a year combined, your darn right I can live like a Royal up there compared to some places in the GTA just on the sheer value I can get for my dollar per sq. ft. For the job posted on this thread, making 36k a year I'm sure you could get by modestly up in Peterborough, plus your on the door step to tons of fishing and hunting opportunities. And also more often then not, the person isn't the sole income earner in the household, as the wife or girlfriend is also bringing in an income. I apologize if I "struck a chord" with you, but I believe we're were talking about 2 different things. It's tough out there for the younger generation with all the higher costs living in southern Ontario, but as they say, we all make our own beds to lie in. Now I hope my IT guy is done Farting around with my laptop!!!

WOOOOOOOO all tied up baby!!!!!

Come on leafs!! Need more of that late period aggression in the 2nd!!!

Man, they desperately need to win this game.

Big game tonight!!! Go Leafs!!!!!

That's an awesome digi mag! Congrats on the cover!

And I'm the one ruining the thread. Huh.

Totally agree, however some careers you simply cannot make the big bucks unless your edumacated.... Eg. CMA, Engineer, Nurse, ect.... And most start making the real coin right out of school. It really depends on the individual, and how motivated they are and how good they are at networking.

Yup it's called the winternet. Happens every fall. You could post a thread about puppies and sunflowers and a little guy like Whop. would have a serious issue with it. Meh.

Isn't this a fishing board?

Yup, I do as well... if i caught it, that sucker would be up on my wall. A true once in a lifetime fish Could it have been a potential world record? Man if that was me I'd ride the fame train all the way to the bank...., well lots of free gear at least. Lol

Thanks for the explanation.

That is a pretty crazy looking spoon, I think Costco sells something similar in a set.... Nice splake - I love fishing them and of course eating them!!! Hopefully my lake is good to go soon!!!

Explain? I'm a dick for what? For saying that the job posted is a decent wage for a young person that would be able to live well up in Peterborough due to the lower costs of living up there, for example.... Housing costs??? Is this offensive to anyone???? Some here need to give there a head a shake in unison to actually read and comprehend what my comments were in this post. This thread needs to be locked as it has gone from a notification of a job posting to a banter on the wage being offered, and the semantics of everything to do with this job.... One word; Winternet.

Better just to buy an entire loin from Costco and cut it up your self. IMO for the price, size and quality, Costco has the best meat, hands down.

That bad eh? Lol I like honest eds, too bad it will be gone shortly.

Sorry I don't get it. Pm me

I'm sorry, why do the public have to wait for a picture of a huge ski to be released?

Real nice brookies!!!! I'm jealous!!! Hopefully some of the lake closer to the GTA will be good to go soon!

Like I said its a good pay for someone right out of college or university, but really someone with a Msc would actually take such a low paying job? It's a good wage, and you could like like a king up in Peterborough

I guess when you account for the size on the us, and the dispersal of its population, 7 deaths and many more injured is actually pretty insignificant and not an example of what Black Friday is like across the US. I mean yeah I understand that stuff like this is glorified and doesn't happen everywhere but from from my POV, it's still pretty pathetic that this happens year after year. No where was I being specific to where you live and shop, but yourself as a Yank, got to be as disgusted and disappointed by these incidents as I'm sure a lot of Canadians are.

Lol lets hope the doc has small fingers and good circulation!

That must be uncomfortable. Isn't it usually a simple blood test or mouth swab?

Awesome links! Thanks
