Seriously there is never a quiet time period of more than 2 hours in any neighborhood. Especially in the lusher areas (South Vancouver, Surrey, etc.).

There is ALWAYS some motorized contraption running loud. I get the lawnmowing is a thing, but it never just ends there. There's always a branch to saw off, always some leaves to clean up, always some extra grass to trim so that it looks perfectly symmetric.

None of these things are necessary, but why do people have to use some noisy contraption? How hard is it to saw off a tiny branch with just a regular saw and some muscle power? Or even use a RAKE instead of a loud leaf blower?

Its like people are trying their very best to move as little as possible.

I came to Canada 7 years ago, and had opened a bank account with a foreign bank here (that has branches in Canada).

I stopped using that account in 2022. And it has $0 in it.

I recently got an email from them saying that I have to send them my Tax Identification Number (TIN) because of some new rules they've gotten. And if I don't send it to them, they will freeze my account and report me to the CRA for non-compliance.

I can't understand why they are asking me NOW for it. I do not run a business and have not used that account for any business related activities. Plus I haven't used it since 2022.

I'm not comfortable sending my SIN by post to them (they told me that mailing them by post is the only way to give my tax id number). They don't even have the option to send it to the electronically.

Can I just ignore this? Is it a big deal? I don't use that account, so they can freeze it. I've already filed my taxes for this year.

Whether its gardening, cleaning walls, trimming grass or even BLOWING LEAVES FROM THE F*CKING GROUND. Every activity has become as noisy as possible and there's always some cockwomble in every neighborhood that's doing something.

My neighbor was using a gas powered pressure washer to wash his railings. Motherf*cker have you ever tried wetting a cloth with soap water and rubbing the thing? Or use a brush.

And what the f*ck happened to leaf rakes? I can't even remember that last time I saw one. Now everyone use a stupidly owerpowered gas powered blower machine because they don't want to bend down even one inch and do anything resembling exerice.
