Wild. I thought this would happen. He tried putting on the tariffs with a flimsy reasoning (fentanyl) and since in reality there is no fentanyl problem coming from Canada they were deemed illegal.

All he needs to do is get congress to pass this. They have a majority in both houses, if you want these tariffs, do it the proper way.

I think this misses the point. Whether it is a service or not, it needs to be run well so we don't end up wasting our tax dollars. It seems to be losing far more money than ever before and there should be consequences for that. There are basic reforms that should have been implemented that are now costing us.

Yeah, fresh slate youtube is kind of scary. Usually is trying to appeal to kids too.

The spa company is fake? That can't be right.

Yeah, depends where you live. Saskatchewan is the worst place, Quebec is the best.

I asked about you and your job

But over achieves on booze and highways.

Jeez, why so you find your job so bad? I'm asking because I enjoy mine.

I believe index funds would be affected. Easiest way to cut the US out of your portfolio is a combo of ZCN and VIU.

What sucks about Trump promoting isolationalism is that now we are forced into doing isolationist policies ourselves. These ideas are objectively worse than running lines to the closest big market in terms of production efficiency and minimizing line loss.

What are your favourites? I have really liked:

  • How to talk to kids so kids will listen and listen so that kids will talk

I think it's appropriate for all ages

  • Adult children of emotionally immature parents

Maybe a bit more specific, but it's likely most people have at least one emotionally immature parent.

 

Any suggestions for paid one time purchase apps on the Google play store?

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

 

Recent CBC article citing statscan data.

 

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
 

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!

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
