If you want to break free of an ecosystem / format you can go to a brand like Boox or Pocketbook. I have a pocketbook and like it, but some people think they are klunky/laggy (I wanted a smaller, water resistant reader).

I moved away from Amazon because I didn’t like the idea that they could delete or change a book I had paid for and I hated the ads for books/store on my e-reader.

If you go this route you will likely need to get Calibre free software to load books on your reader, so it does depend on how technical you are prepared to be. Not a steep learning curve but there are some recommended plugins, especially if you want to move books that you have bought on the Kindle Ecosystem. You can also go deeper and do things like have the software auto-estimate page # and reading difficulty, as well as implement tagging/organization systems, change/optimize covers, etc.

Why should the Competition Bureau allow this?

I agree with building affordable housing, however, I’d like to see controls in the plan to discourage slumlords from taking advantage of the relaxed regulations. I feel as though if this were to happen opportunists would build/renovate properties as cheaply as they possibly could to pass inspection and then extract every dime out of them while not maintaining them.

For this to work we would need to dissuade these opportunists AND have a functioning Landlord and Tenant Board, which we do not have at the moment.

Are you outside of the city? Is there no burn ban in place?

Thank you for saying this. Pierre squawks about anything and it’s hyped up to be a huge scandal. So tired of the cons outrage on everything but offering zero solutions.
