People don't care about debt anymore. Good for them, doesn't work for me.
They see the government doesn't care either and they will bail, you out so thats the thought process I guess?

We got some absolute beauty’s on Kijiji right now. I asked a guy what he was running for boost on his turbo. His response, “not sure what you mean, it’s running 6 psi tho”


“Don’t low ball me, I know what I have”.

Im going to make this a sticker. Sell them.

We are number 1....some good sales coming me thinks...

problem with that chart is it is a perfect example of statistics that don’t mean anything in isolation, as shown it seems to indicate Canada is the worst of a bunch of countries, but since it shows the percent change in debt, not the actual debt it is meaningless. An 80% increase in debt if your debt load is 5% of GDP is way less actual $ than a 5% increase if debt load is 80% of GDP.

I need one more renewal in 4.5 years then it can do WTF it wants.....lol

But I'm not sure where all the $$$ is coming from, CERB gave some folks a little influx of cash but not stupid amounts and if everything is being bought on credit it's bound to crash likely sooner than later, I don't see any economic "Boom" in the near future....
Lots of $$$ from not eating out and not travelling and likely not shopping as often ...those funds have been sunk into new toys and home improvement instead. That plus cerb $$$ has boosted sales at garden centres, home building stores, rv sales and tubs / pools ....lots of winners and losers ... unfortunately our business was in the looser column to run of $1.5 mil

Construction was slow already prior to Covid due to the economy. When Covid hit it got even worse, we didn't have any projects shut down but schedules and material availability caused problems. Many owners who were contemplating projects ended up delaying or shelving those projects waiting to see what happens in 2021.

We've been lucky over the past month or so and have landed a couple significant projects, enough to keep our current workforce busy for the foreseeable future anyhow. We are less than 50% of what we were this time last year but hopefully we can keep securing additional work and get moving in the right direction.

Same here. I’m also in construction I’ve been in business many years and this year it’s gonna be my lowest numbers. I’m still making decent margins on the jobs I’m getting but it’s getting to be slim Pickens for work. The future does not look or feel good

I agree - but to even have the nuts to list it at that is something else. Tempted to be a arsewhole and insult with a "would you take $15K? Have cash in hand..." note and wait for a nasty, equally insulting note back.

Probably 0 percent for 20 years ?

I just sold my 11 Sno-Pro 153 Silver Bullet for a little under $4k, I figured that was decent, more than I would have got last year....

I see a bunch of 11's now advertised for $5500, $6000, $6300, $7000 and $7500.... Fawkin Crazy, I paid $7000 for mine as a brand new non current in 2013.

3k for 7 years is pretty good
