It's wild that they just straight up have ads now. Every screensaver, lock screen, start menu has ads.

There's a good chance you forgot to inflation adjust one of those lines.

Good point, you might only need to knock off a very small fraction.

Then it's a good time to raise the capital gains tax inclusion rate! Smart policy.

Recent CBC article citing statscan data.

Honestly, for a mayor in Canada I feel like that is entirely appropriate to not take a stance on foreign policy.

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

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.

I think everyone is missing the key datapoint: "Sample Size: 1300 online"

The extensibility and transparency has always been the big ones for me. It is such a pain not being able to dig into exactly how a program works. Documentation is ok but open code is infinitely better.

At first I thought that this sounds a little extreme, but then I remembered that even if you aren't LGBTQ, you still need to watch out for the mass shootings. So being any kind of minority kind of ups your odds of being murdered.

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!

I guess the time is now to start building nuclear so that it is running in a decade.

I honestly haven't noticed any problems. I'm using Jerboa and on Lemmy.ca

Yeah, I really hope we can get past the culture of thinking lemmy is morally superior to reddit and just focus on having something nice here that no CEO can fuck with.

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
