As someone that moved out around your age it irks me a little to hear about parents looking down on their kid like that.

I have a feeling that after, say, 2 weeks of work, the OP will have a better understanding about the landscaping business than his parents, and should therefore take much of their advice with much salt, as it will be he, and not they, who will be the professional. 😁🙂

In Toronto, I knew a guy in his 50s (maybe 60s) who mowed lawns using the mowers of the owners.

Many houses have outdoor outlets. I'd recommend 3 extension cords (25', 50', and 100'), the thicker the better (i.e. can carry over 13 amps—over 1625 watts): short ones have lower voltage drops, long ones so you can reach all parts of the lawn. At about 10¢/kw•hr, electricity is (at least relatively) cheap. Lithium is bad for the environment—they might be necessary for cars with high energy/mass ratios, but you ain't driving a lawnmower. It you must get a gasoline weed-whacker, try for 4-stroke rather than 2-stroke. True, the latter is lighter and easier to use, but they pollute far more.

I prefer flyers to resumes as I don't think the customers (or most of them) care if you go to college or even graduated from high school. Some might not even care if you are legally in Canada. They care if you can do a decent job, at the agreed upon price, and not foul things up for them: this is something you can most probably do, stranger.

Best wishes. 🙂

and put <28, maybe <14, year expiry dates on copyrights, patents, and trademarks, at least American ones.

We can, for instance, have a young man call himself "Kid Rock," tour Canada, decked out with Maple Leafs, and burn American flags on stage.

and on this issue of so-called "intellectual property," I suppose I'm with the Chinese.

When will they turn the OSC into a casino, condos, and/or luxury spa?

Trump is doing the uncoupling, though what we need to do is to expand our horizons: EU, UK, Ukraine, Turkey, and yes, Mexico—instead of trying to throw it under a bus to appease Trump.
