It's not that weird, we call it projection.

I hate how much CT has stepped up their credit card sales tactics, I feel like their sales desk has creeped closer and closer to the entrance over the past few months.

I really hate it because getting assaulted with a sales pitch triggers an anxiety attack for me. Maxi is also guilty of this (PC Financial), but they put them at the exit so you can't leave.

But I do have to admit what they have to sell is good, Canadian and decently priced. I end up there a lot regardless for car parts and tools.

Quebec's secularism laws can be explained by looking at its history with religion, and how much religion has destroyed its society in the past.

Government secularism is a way for Quebec to ensure clerical interference in government never happens again.

Whether it should also affect individuals, and where the line between individuals and government is drawn, is a very hot topic even within Quebec.

Technically, mobile payment is more secure than cash and cards in terms of theft risk as you need to authenticate before using it.

The only exception is a chip & pin card with NFC and magstripe disabled and no card number or CVV printed on it.

You can't do much with modern phones once reported stolen, most of them become bricks.

Indeed! I almost picked up a Quebec tartan scarf the other day, but instead went with an official RCMP tartan scarf.

Edit: actually I'm fairly certain it was this one or a variant thereof that I saw in the store: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=3872
