Crown corp would be great but letting them monopolize the entire process might not be the optimal thing to do. In some cases it worked well (e.g. hydro-quebec prices are very competitive) but in others it gives them unlimited power to set the prices as they want in order to achieve a target profit, with potentially murky decisions like automatic bonuses and millions in severance payments.

Oth crown corps competing in the market allows it to be more efficient since other players cannot push crown corps out of the market through acquisition, yet crown corps have to adapt their practice to be competitive and lean; good example is CDPQ infra participating in a competitive market when building light rail systems across Canada/UK.

That's the case for every industry tbh

Yep sounds like terrible design and Tim's cheapen out in the material. I've had non plastic caps that were much better than that.

You know what would bring us back to the good old days? A real ceramic mug you can use to sit down, drink it slowly and enjoy. But I haven't been to a Tim's in a while where the server would ask if I wanted a mug or to go. Maybe the lady would call that woke too?

I tried finding it but couldn't, I think I just googled the error Msg and found a solution online, then made it into a bash script

It's only when playing multiplayer

If you go on social media and ask why Canada cares about disabled and veterans, it's not gonna go well. But the "darn immigrants" is a popular trope and people will get behind you

Social media user: "why are we even paying taxes? Canada cares about anyone but the taxpayers"

Can't wait to see the $100k price tag and instantly being sold out
