Changing Bank, changing credit cards, found . . . . .

I'll try to present the options and resources, each one is a bit different. Do your own comparison based on your situation and pick the one u think best suit your needs.

I'm happy with HSBC, no more counting of transactions, no more fees.

REMINDER: if u have someone 65+ in family, most banks offer NO FEE checking A/C, +:
TD - FREE CHEQUES + FREE DRAFTS
SCOTIA - FREE CHEQUES + FREE DRAFTS, NO FEE a/c for 60+

Basic regular land line phones are offered by: Bell, Rogers, Primus.

I'm still with Bell, got $95+$40 to come.  Details @ http://sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=631126

For my situation, I'd love to have Primus Basic Phone+unlimited Lite Internet.  Unfortunately, $$ increased from $30+T => $35+T/mth. Old discussions @ http://sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=372233

Most likely I'll change to
1.  Primus Basic Phone $19.95+ $0.40(911++)+T=$22.97 (vs.$26.38 by Bell).  + get Aeroplan for spending.
2.  FREE dialup modem by http://account.juno.com/s/landin ... &productId=free

Ideally, I can find an old Primus customer who will transfer their old $30 package to me, IF that's allowed.

REMINDER:  Many cheap VOIP phones, check for yourself.  Do not use Primus VOIP phone, PROBLEMS.

Every year, I get my summer flowers FREE from City.  Put them into my planter boxes, give some to a friend in Ville Anjou.  It's a lot of fun to see them grow.  Details @ http://sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=631249

If u don't have time to go, or not available in your area, or don't want to wait:
just buy your "baby flowers :p" from Loblaw/Maxi/Cdn. Tire/Home Depot/etc.  ~$2-$5/box of 6 or 12 plants.

那么  。  。  那么  。  。  。  。  。  整个夏天你都像我一样  。  。  。  。  。天天与花儿谈心和对饮！哈哈！

刚刚支付了我们的保费。有房子的同学们应该都买了保险。在经济下滑的期间，可能有更多的爆窃案和抢劫。租房子的同学们，如果您家里有许多有价值的东西，可能要考虑保险。

我们的小地方没有什么有价值的东东，但需要买责任的保险。例如: 我们的水管爆裂==>影响周围的邻居。

已经在用 XYZ :cool: ，今年的保费还可以，不知道明年如何去找更便宜+更好的了，哎！加拿大保险万岁，哎！

可以看看以下的网(车险/房险/etc.): http://www.kanetix.ca/

Many cheap:
- VOIP phone includes cheap LD options, many ads. on this web site/newspaper
- LD companies: www.wlink.ca + (I can't find that posting :confused: )
- prepaid phone cards
recent: http://sinoquebec.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=613852
old: can't find it now :confused: , I use the green Calling Card.

Today, Bell charges $0.50 for using public Pay Phone. I use President's Choice prepaid long distance card (Provigo/Loblaw/Maxi), valid for 6 months, only charge the regular $0.04/minute, [color="Red"]NO pay phone charge.
(Don't know if they will change policy.)
