The foreign interference report’s great anticlimax in c/canada
[–] MacroCyclo 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, it actually seemed exciting leading up to the report and then it was just so insanely boring once you found out what was in it.

The kicker for me was that this guy is 39. You would think at that age you would have enough life experience to understand why to not do this.

Haha, apparently Gould is also running. I didn't know who she was either.

I'm still excited for debates. It will be interesting to see how the three of them fair. Carney is in the lead for sure, but having challengers is a test for the more important election.

Join the U.S.? No way, say most Canadians surveyed. But nearly a quarter may be open to it in c/canada

I'm open to a Schengen style agreement with open borders like Europe has. Even a common currency would probably be fine. No way you are imposing that shitshow of a federal political system on us though.

Canadian Journalism Is Dying, But Poilievre May Kill It in c/canada

Anyone know what the plan is? Cut funding, privatize? You can't just erase it overnight.

If you were not allowed to acquire any new clothes, how long do you think your current wardrobe would last? in c/[email protected]

Pretty sure it's the polyester. Adds comfort, but wears out way faster.

Sow up the neck hole and you have a pair of shorts!

How heat storage technologies could keep Canada’s roads and bridges ice-free all winter long in c/canada
[–] MacroCyclo 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it should level out the temperature too, so the minimums are higher and maximums are lower regardless of freeze/thaw.

I don't understand how this could possibly get you banned.

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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
