Get Cutibase if you can find it. Made in Quebec, works really well, scent-free.

Most of the time it's bundled in the application, unless it's a server app or a dev toolkit.

We've had the 'Aliments faits au Québec" label for a long time, but nothing federally.

Something about a broken clock

But yeah, Ford did good here.

Canada holds natural resources that Trump wants to control, including the future potential arctic route.

Which email host did you switch to? Looking for something hosted in Canada, ideally.

You have a very balanced take, it's refreshing.

Poverty and drug addiction is a very difficult problem I believe can be tackled by UBI and safe injection centres together.

I have the same gripes about the Montreal Metro, I think it's unsafe outside of commute hours because of the drug users and homeless people who take shelter within. It's not their fault, it's a societal problem, but the end result nonetheless is that people get assaulted frequently on the metro.

Being poor is expensive, both for the individual and for society, and studies show that if you give someone $200, they'll spend it on food and drugs. If you house someone, they'll feel like they have no autonomy and go back to the streets. If you give them $25k a year with no strings attached, most will try to find housing they like, buy food they like and solve their addiction and mental health issues, and go on to live fulfilling lives.

And, best of all, if done and funded correctly, employers get to save $25k a year on employee paychecks as it'll be presumably garnered off of corporate taxes for all of society to enjoy. Unfortunately, companies are "people" and would protest against this as it'll end up being slightly more expensive in the short term.

Pushing poor people away just makes them someone else's problem.

There are more local options not from PC nor the US that OP didn't list, the most obvious one to me is frozen pizzas.

At least in Quebec, there are so many non-American frozen pizza brands I can't possibly list them all, two of them would be ILIOS and Como's.

Tim Hortons is about as uncanadian as Starbucks, they're owned by RBI, which is owned by 3Com, a Brazilian food conglomerate.

Thanks, I could not understand what they were talking about 😂

spoilerI thought this was about Loblaws "raping" their consumer's wallets rather than getting it "raped" by Amazon or something.
