A lot of women ask me my opinions on weapons in self love. 

“Should I take a switchblade?” “Should I take a knife?” “Is it lawful to have mace?” 


*The below answers are for Canadians, and there may also be differences province-to-province. Always check before you buy or carry a weapon. 

Firstly, and above all, many weapons which people think are legal to carry are, in actuality, prohibited:

  • Mace/Pepper Spray –  Illegal – In Canada, any product with a label containing the words’pepper spray’,’mace’ etc. or are otherwise originally produced for use on individuals are classified as a prohibited weapon. Only law enforcement officers may lawfully carry or possess pepper spray.
  • Dog Spray/Bear SprayIllegal – these chemicals are regulated under the Pest Control Products Act. Although it is legal to be carried by anyone, it is against the law if its use causes”a risk of imminent death or serious bodily injury to another person” or damaging the environment. It carries a penalty of up to a $500 000 fine, in addition to a max. Jail time of 3 decades.

  • Switchblades Illegal – In Canada, switchblades are illegal to sell, buy, trade, transport or otherwise possess. The Canadian Criminal Code defines the switchblade as,”A knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of this knife.”  Different subsections of the code describe possession offenses and penalties. Belt-buckle daggers, push-daggers, finger-ring blades, and innocuously concealed blades will also be Prohibited Weapons in Canada under SOR/98-462 Part 3. If you are found to be in possession of a switchblade, you can get up to 5 years in jail, and your weapon captured.
  • Knives Legal – There is no length restriction on carrying knives inside the Criminal Code of Canada; the only restriction is for concealed carry.  Every person commits an offence that carries a weapon, a prohibited device or any prohibited ammunition concealed, unless the man has been authorised under the Firearms Act to carry it concealed. The general rule is that if your knife is seen as a tool (i.e. Swiss Army knife), police are usually ok with ithowever, if they believe the knife is for self-defense or for fighting, they will take it from you and charge you with possessing a dangerous weapon.
  • Nunchaku (home made or store-bought), shuriken, brass knucklesIllegal

Shuriken 
Brass Knuckles 


Nunchaku

  • Fixed blades – machetes, khukuris, swords, bayonetsLegal
Taser 
  • Tasers and stun guns  Illegal  
Now that we know what weapons are lawful, and which aren’t, let me advise you to NOT carry a weapon. Keep in mind that when you introduce a weapon to an altercation, it has the capacity to be used against you, particularly if you’re no adept at wielding said weapon (. . .and even if you’re!) . 

Secondly, if you introduce a weapon into an altercation, there are legal consequences (such as the prospect of losing the capacity of claiming self-defense).  

If you’re keen to carry some kind of protection device, I will be writing about improvised weapons next week.

Is EMPIRE Rain & Senses In Oakville A Good Investment?

Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FirstRentalProperty/~3/HIicngoQcqM/

Rain & Senses is almost SOLD OUT.

The Fantastic News…
One gentleman I was speaking to last week was a first time condo buyer in Toronto Canada.

You’ll need to move quickly if you would like to purchase a unit in this EMPIRE neighborhood AND if you want to get their FREE $10,000 Furniture Package.

Most the people that I talk to are interested in investing in Toronto real estate.

EMPIRE is really going above and beyond what other builders offer as their builder incentives, and they’re clearly trying to provide something of VALUE to their prospective purchasers.

Here is Wikipedia’s definition of Oakvillle:
Sometimes builders offer special DISCOUNTS from their purchase price or what they call,  “builder INCENTIVES”.   These discounts and incentives are made available through VIP Realtors (like myself).

I like this new condominium project for a few reasons:

I always get asked by people what sort of real estate they should be investing in.

B) EMPIRE Is Offering a FREEE $10,000 Furniture Package with the purchase of any suite.
I hope you’re doing well.

Neil

If you are knowledgeable about the Greater Toronto Area, you understand that Oakville is an ‘upscale’ Town located approximately 20 minutes by car west of Toronto.

The Town of Oakville is very particular with regards to dealing with Builders.   As such, the city has not approved many high rise buildings to be built in The Town .   Therefore, there is in my opinion limited inventory in Oakville as it comes to high rise condo buildings versus some of the neighbouring cities and towns near Oakville.
The date in which EMPIRE will no more be honouring this offer is March 12th 2017.

The common thread with these people is they are interested in purchasing a condo in Toronto Canada, or perhaps a house in The Greater Toronto Area which they would live in or rent out to tenants.

  • SUITES AVAILABLE: 1 Bed, 1 Bed + Den, 2Bed, 2 Bed + Den
  • SQUARE FOOTAGE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: 543 square feet to 1250 square feet
  • PRICE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: $329,990 to $739,990
  • EXPOSURES AVAILABLE: North, North/East, East, South/East, South West, West
  • TOTAL NUMBER OF BUILDINGS: two
  • TOTAL NUMBER OF FLOORS: 19
  • PARKING: One parking space is included in the purchase price (additional parking available for purchase at $30,000 + HST)   (What is HST? )
  • LOCKER: $4,000 + HST
  • CEILING HEIGHT: 9′ Ceilings
  • MAINTENANCE INCLUDES: Gas, Common Element Expenses & Building Insurance (Hydro and Water is separately metered)
  • OCCUPANCY DATE: June 21st 2017 (Initial Tentative Occupancy Date)
  • DEPOSIT STRUCTURE: 1st Deposit (with Arrangement ) is $5,000, 2nd Deposit (30 Days From 1st Deposit) is the Balance to 5%, 3rd Deposit (Due On Occupancy) is 5 percent.   For a total deposit of 10%.

A)  There are limited high rise condo buildings in Oakville.  
Hi There,

Here is some important information on “Rain & Senses” as well as some of my personal opinions on this new condo project:

So if you have some interest in purchasing a unit in this condominium project, and if you would like to get this Remarkable Builder Incentive, you need to act fast.   You may email me directly at neil@firstrentalproperty.com to find out what the next steps are if you want to purchase a unit.

EMPIRE is a great builder, and people want to have real estate built by great builders. Not to mention Oakville.   Oakville is a very desirable Town to Invest in…
Located in Halton Region, on Lake Ontario, it is part of the Greater Toronto Area. As of the 2016 census the population was 193,832. ”

“Detached homes in The Town of Oakville went up in value 38.4% year over year from November 2015 to November 2016.
Sometimes builders Attempt to get away with offering prospective buyers with cheap and not too significant incentives.   This is clearly not the case with EMPIRE.   I am impressed with this Incentive which they are offering, and I believe more builders should provide excellent incentives such as EMPIRE is demonstrating here.

“Rain & Senses” is a pre-construction condo being built by EMPIRE, located in The Town of Oakville.

Some say that EMPIRE is the second largest builder in Ontario, Canada by the amount of units sold.

Some people that I speak to are experienced with real estate, while others don’t have too much experience.

To get this remarkable $10,000 Furniture Package, and to book a suite to purchase, email me now at neil@firstrentalproperty.com

EMPIRE would be second of course to Mattamy.   (Read About: Mattamy’s Vita On The Lake Here)

And and as we know already, where there is limited supply, and if there is demand for this limited supply, this is what pushes real estate prices up.
Today I would like to talk to you about:

Move fast though because the real estate market in The Greater Toronto Area is insane.

Happy Investing!
With this sort of dramatic increase in value, people are naturally going to gravitate towards lower priced real estate, such as new construction condos.

This Remarkable Free $10,000 Furniture Package Offer will come to an end soon.   It is only for a limited time.
In my view, the FREE $10,000 Furniture Package that EMPIRE is offering is a very good builder incentive.
