Pierre Poilievre named politician most likely to sell out Canada to Trump in c/canada
[–] MacroCyclo 2 points 2 hours ago

He began his leadership by supporting the truckers. That says it all right there.

If Trumps Tariffs are going ahead even after we allocated billions into the border along with that fentanyl czar, why bother even keeping those now? in c/canada

Yeah, we delayed it by a month without really doing anything. All his "demands" were met superficially.

Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles in c/[email protected]

I'm talking about the Hyundai Kona, I think. I definitely agree that they are cheaper to run. I've heard before too that they are cheaper to produce, but haven't seen any evidence of it so far.

In Canada, the gas model is ~$20,000 the hybrid is ~$30,000 and the electric model is ~$40,000. I keep hearing that EVs are supposed to be cheaper, but I haven't seen it yet.

The algorithm will pull them and the commies will push them.

Trudeau did a great job of doing this the first time around. We got some big names in Chemistry back across the border. Thanks Trump lol

Are the BC Conservatives Pro-Trump, or Pro-Canada? in c/canada

Oh, from Albertans. It sounded like the Smith government was meddling.

Canadian Views on Proportional Representation in c/canada
[–] MacroCyclo 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Jeez, that's higher support than I thought. I always thought it was more of a fringe issue. It will probably be like marijuana. Popular policy for a long time until it finally gets adopted.

I haven't seen a thread on this in a while. I have been going with top day for a while, but it can be hit or miss. Other sorts don't seem to display as good in terms of balancing quality and quantity. What is your preferred sort for your main feed?

Edit: Realizing that the people who sort new commented before the hot/top/active people, haha

I feel like the CPC is trying to import the American constant election news cycle to Canada.

The first thing that comes to mind is a big plastic bin filled with burnt burgers for 4 for a dollar.

Edit: I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.

What financial services do you use? (self.personalfinancecanada)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by MacroCyclo to c/personalfinancecanada
24 comments fedilink
 

I'm curious what products and services everyone uses. I like trying out new services, but it seems like the big banks are pretty effective at squashing competition.

I'll go first: Chequing - BMO Savings - Wealthsimple Investing - Questrade with Passiv Credit cards - BMO, Costco, Amazon

I have tried Brim (credit card) and Koho (kind of a chequing account), but eventually dropped them because they couldn't effectively replace BMO.

I'm interested to know everyone's experiences with their banks and other financial service providers.

Edit: This thread has been amazing! Thanks for all the replies!

This sub is entirely CBC (self.canada)

Why is this sub just CBC news stories? Does a bot add them all? They are mostly empty with no comments. Makes for a strange feed.

Edit: I think I just need to figure out which way to sort my feed. Sorting by hot gives me almost all CBC.

Edit 2: CBC is great. I am commenting on the state of c/Canada, not the quality of CBC
