Yes, buying the web site is an expense. You can deduct whatever you paid for it.

You have a Canadian stock index MF and you will only sell if the price is up 1% from yesterday's price.
At 3:45 pm look at the price for XIC (an active cdn stock index etf) on the internet (it's 15 minutes delayed so it's actually the 3:30 pm price).
If it seems ...

The routing number for checks drawn from a Canadian bank (as Benjamin observed 9 years ago) is indeed in the format 5-dash-3 in stead of the 9 digits for U.S. banks. So you can easily find out if a check was from a U.S. or Canadian bank.

You should account for everything in your local currency (that is the currency your taxes are collected in). At the end of the day you have bought those shares for 110 CAD and sold it for 126. The fact that there were currency conversion is irrelevant.

A prize is not income, in general. According to the Government of Canada,
When the prize has been received as a gift, it is not included in computing income at the time of receipt. However, the recipient will be deemed to have acquired the prize at its fair market value pursuant to paragraph 69(1)(c), so that a subsequent disposition of the prize will ...

The probability of a claim is based on any and every factor they can use -- if statistics say that people who own dogs are more likely to make a claim, they'll consider adding a question about dog ownership to the insurance application.

You're ignoring the fact that your brother derives value from living in the apartment. Fair to me in your situation would be:
Split costs as before
Split rent on the one unit as before.
And you get the majority of the rent on one of the units, as you used to get that value by living there. I'd say it's less than 100% of the unit's rent because it's likely ...

“Remote” job position plus “bitcoin” = scam. I’m sorry - your best bet at this point is to block them, delete any messages and move on. If you have already given them any of your personal information then you may need to watch your credit report, and definitely change any passwords if you have given those out.
