Canada slowing flow of money into foreign fossil fuels, but lags on renewables
  • This is written as if it is bad news, but it's good news right? Investment in fossil fuel is slowing and renewables is increasing.

    I don't completely understand the focus on bank financing. Banks will finance profitable projects in countries around the world. It's the job of governments to make fossil fuel project unprofitable. The financing is a symptom, not the cause.

  • What is your default sort?

    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

    CPC Signing Up New Candidates

    I feel like the CPC is trying to import the American constant election news cycle to Canada.

    If Thrift Stores sold food, what would they sell?

    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?

    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

    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
