What about the unlabelled grey "dread zone" between the pacific and midwest areas? That's accurate, right?
Postal banking is a thing in many countries. Canada Post did banking from its inception until 1968. The major benefits are that there is a post office in every community, even really tiny ones, and that a Canada Post bank system can offer basic banking services to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to.
This is an advocacy piece, but it includes the history of postal banking in Canada: https://lindsayadvocate.ca/corporate-pressure-ended-postal-banking-in-1968-its-time-to-bring-it-back/
Guy tried to enlist the boss's brother in law to falsify work. "We don't have to walk all the way up the mountainside to do the work, the client will never check it". Then he went home, leaving said brother in law to do all the work by himself.
A week after getting fired, he called the boss about the performance bonus that was promised at the start of the contract.
Oh, that's easy. The BoC overnight rate is only one of the factors that go into the Prime Rate, which is determined by the banks themselves. The Prime Rate is also down by about half a percent.
Credit card rates on the other hand, are set by the banks based on how much they want to rip you off. The only government involvement there is that the card has to stay under the criminal interest rate, or 48% APR.
The current Government has proposed to reduce that rate to 35% APR, but we'll see.
In short, your MP won't be able to help with your credit card, because cards are issued by the banks, not the Government. Personally, I'd love to see Canada Post get into personal banking, but it's a bit of a pipe dream.

Depends on the games you like. It won't perform well at 4k, or with newer FPS titles. Most games should be playable at low-medium quality settings.
Even if all that were true^1^, it still doesn't justify Russia's invasion. Russia doesn't own Russian speaking Ukrainians. Russia has neither the duty nor right to invade to "protect" Russian speaking minorities in any country.
^1^ It isn't
You're off by a couple of decades. I used one of these at my sister's graduation in 1991. The camera was old then, but you could still easily buy 110mm film and flash bars. FYI, 1991 wasn't 50 years ago just yet.
My first vehicle was a 1971 Ford 3/4 ton. It was extremely reliable and tough. Having sat for most of the previous 30 years in a barn, it even looked good.
But it had all of the safety features of 1971. Power brakes the would lock up and throw you off the road if you more than thought about braking. Lap belts and a solid steel steering wheel to smash your teeth on. If you somehow hit the steering wheel hard enough to break it, you'd be impaled on the steel pipe steering column. Speaking of the steering, it didn't have power steering, so if you hit a rut on a rough road, the steering wheel would spin out of control. You had to just let go of it until it stopped spinning lest it break your thumbs. Also, the gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat for extra car crash fun.
It was a beautiful death trap. I kinda wish I could have put it back into a barn for another 30 years instead of selling it.
Scribus has really good PDF support. It's a full desktop publishing program (like InDesign), so it might not be the best for quick conversions. It does a really good job of PDF forms though.
