How is this election so close?? The NDP have been doing a fine job governing, why try to wreck it by voting conservative.

Alberta just kicked Coal years ahead of schedule. Yes, they’re also keeping the rest of the country using and producing oil, but clearly that province is working hard to reduce emissions.

Something is working

When does the government step in, shut down the company, and sell the assets to another firm?

Clearly, this company is irresponsible and cannot follow the law. You don’t have to shut down the operation and have people lose their jobs, but don’t let the company keep operating

Wealthsimple Cash covers most of what one might be looking for in a chequing account.

  • 4.5% interest if you deposit your paycheque into it. 3% otherwise I think? It’s quite high
  • you can send e-transfers from a Cash account, or you send money using WS Cash to other Cash users. Both workflows are easy

The Cash card also has 0.5% cash back on purchases IIRC and is essentially a prepaid credit card / debit card. I love WS Cash, the only reason I don’t use it more often is that I have an Amex.

I had a good time, so times must've been good! people must be lying!

I guess? These are, of course, the same boomers that turn around and tell anyone younger than Gen X that if they can't afford a home, it's because they don't work hard enough. unfortunately, we're all people. the best we can do is try to be less idiotic than our parents.

How soon is the IPO? New mods on the biggest subreddits would make those subs horrible for a long time while they figure out how to moderate it properly. Even when mods do their regular work, regular folks can get very heated about mod behaviour. Can you imagine that happening across all major subreddits, all at once?
