That’s exactly my parents too, they have a good couple of million stashed away for their retirements. I was hoping when they sold our childhood home a few years ago they would help my sister and I with down payments. NOPE! They firmly believe that since they could do it we can do it, completely closed off to the idea that things are fundamentally different nowadays. Rent is 43% of my take home and I’m lucky!

The Weston’s own most of the pharmacy, the grocery, food supply chain, and are moving into healthcare at breakneck pace. No shit it’s too concentrated. We need actual antitrust laws.

Doug Ford said it’s too complicated for London to do it so he banned cities from using them.

In some ways I feel like this can be the CRA working with accounting software for better integration. If you’re running a side hustle you should be paying your taxes.

That said I worry this is going to nab the person who maybe makes a few hundred a year selling shit online to subsidize their day job and they’re a lot easier of a target than a large operation commuting tax fraud; the CRA has a history of picking the former.

For a lot of Canadians the best IT jobs are working remote for US firms since they pay so much better than our own. Maybe that’s a potential avenue to explore. Alternatively have you thought about getting married or perhaps your common law already and get those spousal benefits?

I don’t think that’s particularly bad. Logitech makes reliable input devices. I recall that the US Navy switched to Xbox controllers to control their periscopes on nuclear submarines and saved millions of dollars and found that people understood the controls better.

I didn’t hear that, but I’m not surprised it’s also about control. When you offer a paid API you’re capping potential revenues for those users at essentially a flat rate.

I suspect that their revenue generation plans likely would see more than 10M/yr return so they threw out some big number to kill everything, force a portion of those users to their own services where they’re planning on ramping up monetization

My office blocks git through the CLI/VS Code Tools but somehow GitHub desktop works. No idea why.

I'd like to think most of the app users are power users who actually drive a lot of value and forcing them to leave will tank your business, but who knows, time will tell.
