Why isn't Costa Rica Rich Coast in English? Or Montenegro Black Mountain? The United States is Les Etats Unis in French and Estados Unitos in Spanish. Enlgand is Angleterre in French. Germany is Deutschland in German. I can see the case of countries that are more given names, but when they are common words like Costa Rica or Montenegro or United States or United Kingdom why do we translate some but not all?

Why so inconsistent?

I just got my NOA and it says "Your net capital loss for 2025 is $3,440. You can..." and "As of the date of this notice, you have unused net capital losses from other years of $12,872. This amount includes any unused net capital losses created from this assessment. You can use your unused net capital losses to reduce taxable capital gains that you report this year"

I can't figure out where this number is from. I don't see it on my Sched 3. I had Total Capital gains (line 19700) or over $40,000.

Could I have applied the Capital Loss, and Capital losses from previous years, against my 2025 income?

Why would any capital losses not have been netted against my capital gains?

Do I need to fill in a special T1A Request for Loss Carryback to do that? Or should I have clicked a box to say carry forward losses.

I use Ufile software for my tax returns and do them myself.

Should I file an amended return?

I have had an Ambient Weather WS-1001 since 2014. It is time to replace it as various things have started to break and it just stopped working.

Is the WS-2000 a good model to get? Any other recomendations. I like having a screen that can be read which I keep in my kitchen, as well as internet connectivity. Any similar replacemnts from other brands like Ecowitt, Tempest, etc. I am in Canada and would likely buy from Amazon.ca.

I just got Ebox yesterday. Today I made a configuration change by turning on IPv6 and my IPv4 WAN IP address changed. Is that expected behaviour?

If you don't make any changes how frequently does Ebox change your IP address? I am moving from Rogers where your IP address was pretty much static unless you changed your router or something similar.

Anyone have experience with using IPTV services with Ebox as an ISP? Do you need a VPN? I am moving over from Rogers and with Rogers I usually needed a VPN with one of my two IPTV services. At a friend's place with Bell as an ISP I found that I always needed a VPN.

So far, which is only 30 minutes, I don't need a VPN with Ebox.

I am in Scarborough and just had Ebox installed today. I used to be on Rogers' 500/30 service. I have the 1G Ebox service. For now I am running both services in parallel.

The Ebox service feels a bit snappier in terms of loading web pages, but when I run Ookla Speedtests I am getting about 450/940. I thought that with fibre you always get your full speed whereas cable shares bandwidth with your local area?

Should I be getting faster speeds? Under Rogers I would often get Speedtest results of 850/32 despite my download plan being, supposedly, 500Mbps.

Interestingly, it seems that my Rogers Xfinity cable tv is still working when I use Ebox as my LAN.

FYI - I am using a Unifi UCG Ultra as my router and using the 2.5G WAN port.

I am at a friends house. They have Bell Fibe Internet in Ottawa, I think with the 3 Gbps plan.

When changing channels on a FireTV (not a stick or separate device, the TV is a FireTV branded TV) when on wifi it takes over 20 seconds to change the channel in the Bell FibeTV app that runs on the TV. When the TV has an Ethernet connection the channel changes take 2 seconds.

I downloaded a speed test app and ran speed tests. When connected via Ethernet I get 98Mbps up and down with 7.2ms ping and 1.0ms jitter. So it seems the Ethernet network interface on the TV only supports 100Mbps which is not unusual. When connected via wifi the speeds are 362 Mbps down and 415Mbps up. Ping is 8.7ms and jitter is 1.0 ms

So you would think that buffering should be faster in wifi than on Ethernet. But to repeat, channel changes on wifi take 20 seconds or more and channel changes on Ethernet take 2 seconds.

For aesthetic reasons they would prefer to use wifi as there would be no visible cords.

What is going on here. How is this possible?

I am getting a refund and I am a bit late in getting everything filed. Am I now late for the T1135?

Just wondering if I have all of the config done properly. Also - I will initially be running in a dual WAN configuration as I am keeping Rogers cable internet for a bit until I ensure that everything is working well with Ebox. The Unifi network sofware shows you choices for WAN mode of Failover Only and Load Balancing. Is there a way to switch the active WAN from the software? In failover mode which is the primary WAN and which is the backup?

I signed up for Ebox and received a package via Purolator. The package contains the Nokia router, but it doesn't include an ONT. Does the tech bring the ONT with him when the service is activated?

If so what is the point of sending half of the hardware via courier and then having the tech bring the other half with him?

I take the LE train everyday that gets into Union at 8:25. Normally it arrives at platforms 5/6 and I get on the coach that allows me to exit right at the stairs to get to the York St East side concourse.

But the last two days it has arrived at platform 4. When it arrives on this platform it pulls up much further - so far that the last 1.5 cars are past all of their stairs and have to work backwards to get to any staircase. So I have to walk back a bit of a distance and, most annoyingly, the staircase becomes a bottleneck as the train only offloads on one side.

Why do they stop at different spots? Is this due to the location of the platform for wheelchair access?

I am looking to move from Rogers to Ebox in Scarborough. I haven't signed up yet because I am wondering about when they can come to do service calls. I am not home most weekdays - can they come at night or on weekends? And any idea how long it takes - if I signed up today when they come in a few days? Or is it more a week or two?

Update: Thanks for your help everyone. I signed up tonight for the 1G service vor $50/month. I have asked for an install of next Friday and selected Friday, Saturday or Sunday for availability for the install. I have started to set up the Ebox internet as a second WAN configuration on my Unifi UCG Ultra router. I have set up a VLAN ID with a tag of 40 and I will add in my PPPoE credentials once I get them. I currently have Rogers internet. While I am getting up and running I will try to run in a dual WAN setup to test things out.

I am looking to switch from Rogers cable internet to Ebox or possibly Primus. I am interested in getting these services due to the lower price, but also because it seems like they make it easier to use my own networking hardware. I have a Unifi UCG Ultra router and several Unifi access points. I have no interest in using the ISP's router and I don't want to be in a situation where I have a double NAT.

If I subscribe to Ebox what hardware will they give me? I believe it will be a Nokia ONT and a Nokia router such as a Beacon 3.1. Is that correct?

In my case I don't want to use the router. Can I just use a cable to connect the ethernet connection from the ONT into the WAN port of my Unifi router? Do you have to enter any passwords or anything or does it just use DHCP to get a WAN IP address? Do I need to do any VLAN config at all?

Do you get IPv4 and IPv6 WAN IPs or just IPv4? And I don't need the Nokia router at all, correct? Do I need to initally use the Nokia router for a period of time, or can I go straight to my own router and WAPs?

Are there any issues to be aware of?

Any advantage to using Ebox over Primus? I believe that they are both ultimately owned by Bell.

With Ebox do I always get the rated speeds of 1G down and 750k up? Are there ever periods where it bogs down? Is that dependent on my neighbourhood?
