I’m not sure why you think I’m rich. Mail isn’t like any of those other services. There is no mail urgent enough that it can’t take one extra business day to arrive. If there is, it certainly wouldn’t be sent through lettermail nor delivered by the normal carrier.
If we’re going to raise taxes to pay for things (and by all means we should), I would much rather prioritize all of the other strawmen you brought up than continue to pay for lettermail delivery 5x per week.
Two days per week can still be constant and reliable. It’s not like I actually get mail every day - the mail carrier just walks past my house about 2-4 days per week anyway. The only thing that comes on an actual weekly schedule are the flyers.
I think we need to address the gig economy as a whole. It’s not good for anyone other than the companies who are exploiting these workers.
Beyond that, for Canada Post specifically, I don’t understand why I need lettermail delivered 5x per week. Cut it back to twice per week, and suddenly one worker can deliver to 2.5x as many houses per week. Or even just give them a day off and “only” double the number of houses served in 4 days.
Ultimately, if you don’t have a legal copy to compare it to, this is just a risk you take when pirating.
Some sources are more trustworthy than others. There probably aren’t that many fake ebooks out there, but it’s always possible I guess.
Of that amount, a total of $11,276,700 was handed out as bonuses to BDC’s top 10 executives.
Is that a problem? $11M out of a pool of $250M doesn’t seem ridiculous. That still leaves over $80,000 per employee.
Historically, student visas have been freely issued at will to any student who was accepted to a university or college program. This wasn’t an issue until about five years ago.
A lot of our laws, regulations, and policies were written assuming people would act in good faith. Unfortunately, that’s no longer good enough, and as a result, many corporations and provincial governments have started to take advantage of it, which has caused a lot of problems in Canadian society.
Nice to meet you Juan. I’m Pierre Poilivere from Calgary, and I love porn. The weirder the better.
I am the zodiac killer. I am DB Cooper. I shot Tupac. Jimmy Hoffa is buried in my backyard.
Come get me.
Anyone else with Manulife and seen this shit before?
Not exactly the same, but under some of their plans, they cover 80% of the price, but at some specific partner pharmacies, they will cover 90 or 100% instead.
For my plan, the partner pharmacies are Costco and an online one. Not sure if it changes between companies/plans, or if those were just their current partners for everyone insured with them.
Google Pixel phones have a screen call function that seems the same as this.
I don’t know if it’s technical limitations (it’s probably just greed), but I can’t imagine that this stays exclusive to Pixels for much longer.
Over the past two decades, flu shots have had a 25-40% uptake rate per year (source). It’s amazing that covid boosters are so much lower than this, though if people were recently infected or vaccinated, then maybe they aren’t allowed to get vaccinated with the booster designed for the xbb station yet.
Yeah, I could only find old articles about resolutions, or the more recent articles from a month ago when it started. I’m not sure anymore if this is Google’s fault - it seemingly hasn’t been reported on since it started. Too much news about strikes might give the population too many ideas.
Isn’t there an ongoing strike at Loblaws distribution centres? I legitimately can’t find any news as to whether it ended, but I also can’t find very much news on other strikes that I’m pretty sure did get resolved. Fuck Loblaws, and fuck Google’s ever worsening search capabilities.
There’s only five ways discussed in the song. Maybe the other 45 are various forms of murder.

I bought a house in 2013. Sold it for twice as much in 2020, it’s probably about triple now.
But looking at house prices and interest rates now, I don’t think I could even buy that first house if I was starting from scratch. I have an extra decade of seniority and (mostly) reasonable salary increases at or above inflation, and I would still be shit out of luck if I didn’t already own property.
That’s not painting a good picture of the future for the next generation, or even those in my generation who waited or needed longer to save.
Rent can go up 10-15% in the same amount of time as that fixed mortgage. If there’s no rent control, it can go up much more than that.
In an actual collapse situation, nobody is going to respect property rights. He may have a head start in that he’s familiar with his own land, but there’s only so much land a single person can defend and maintain (and it’s much smaller than even a hobby farm).
Best case scenario for farmers is that they mostly get left alone, and then someone (everyone) steals their crops just before harvest. It’s unlikely people will have that much foresight, so I expect it’s just going to be a bunch of fighting over farmland, followed by starvation because no one had time to grow anything.
The Dolphin is a $30k USD vehicle, though I’d love to see it come to Canada. I’m not very familiar with the Seagull, but it looks like it’s not available outside of China, which is probably an indication of its likely safety rating. If it’s safe, I’m not sure why it’s not available in the Western countries where they already have a presence.
CBC didn’t offer all the events in previous years. They may have had everything that had Canadian participants, but for the smaller sports, coverage was hit or miss.
