Canada's inflation rate slows to 3.4%, lowest level in almost 2 years
  • Sooo... by slowdown they mean prices will stop rising, but what about lowering?

  • Canada's grocery industry concentrated in too few hands, Competition Bureau says
  • It does matter, we just need to put more public pressure on them.

  • Canada's grocery industry concentrated in too few hands, Competition Bureau says
  • I dont know, more competitors would still be better.

    Ive see my low no frills lower prices to match Walmart sales.

  • Olivia Chow elected Toronto's next mayor in unexpectedly tight race | CBC News
  • Im happy about this, but holy crap! Ana Baileo, last week she was polling at 13.5%. That was a huge jump.

  • TechDirt: As Canada Passes Corrupt Link Tax, Meta Says No More News Links In Canada
  • Yes, usually linking to canadian news on google and facebook provides a summary of the article as well - so many users are satisfied with reading that and dont click.

    So facebook and google get the ad revenue, canadian news outlets rhat produce those headlines get nothing.

  • Canadian Telecom Oligopoly
  • And now with Teksavvy looking for a buyer... I'm really bummed about this to be honest. I've been with them for almost ten years now and they've been the best.

    Every time they raised their rates (because of the shitty policies of the CRTC) they always explained their reasons and apologized profusely. They always campaigned for lower rates and reported on shady dealings at the CRTC... sigh Depressing times.

    I hope whoever buys them retains their customer service department. Seriously, best customer service I've ever had.

  • Who even uses Celsius
  • Good question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also

  • Who even uses Celsius
  • Celsius for your ovens? In canada we use faranheit only on ovens for some reason

  • Who even uses Celsius
  • Fahrenheit for anything other than ovens feels so wrong haha (I am canadian)

    On that note, other parts of the world what unit of measurement do you use for ovens?

  • Favorite Time Travel Episodes?
  • Trials and Tribbleations, and Little Green Men.

    (the goofy ones, I know, but they are my favourites)

  • Hundreds of Women Have Nowhere to Go After Transitional Housing | The Tyee
  • Yes, exactly.
    "Why is nobody solving the housing crisis when we leave all housing to the free market which has no incentive to build affordable housing?! Nobody can figure this crazy problem out!"

  • 'Bigger issue than doping': Canada flirting with disaster amid growth of legalized sports gambling | CBC News
  • Maybe due to the fact that it seems like 80% of all ads around sports are now for betting? Seriously, I expect the Skydome to be renamed the Draftkings Dome or something.

  • How much do people tip?
  • i only tip 20% or more if it's a delivery, and the weather is shit. if its a sit down restaurant 12-15% is fine.

    at fast food & coffee places I ask if they actually get the tips(they will usually say no, honestly) and then tip or not accordingly.

  • Will Canada remain an attractive destination for immigrants?
  • I want it to stay that way, every new immigrant makes Canada better.

    However we really, really need to start creating more housing for immigrants and those already here. Its not fair to the immigrants to make them live in shelters or squeeze into tiny, overpriced accommodations.

  • Microsoft says the 2-3 year development cycles of big-budget games are over
  • I dont know, a number of Indie studios could probably qualify.

  • Microsoft says the 2-3 year development cycles of big-budget games are over
  • Same. Be cool if there was some kind of "ethically made, fair hours and wages for workers" seal of approval for games.
