Isn't that the whole reason we're talking about this again?

Whoa.

Whatever, I have enough rep that a few butthurt weirdos don't really make a difference.

Noted.

When buying a new phone and they don't provide a power cord... Makes the android switch a little annoying.
You're already charging $1400 for the phone! Provide a damn $0.30 cord.

In today's news:
First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations, First Nations.
Indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous, indigenous.
Elders, elders elders elders elders elders elders elders elders elders elders elders elders.

do you actually go to places that would be considered Canadian news media? Weeird. The closest I get is sportsnet to check the baseball scores.

Someone on FB posted something about some kids that died at a school in BC. I'm sure it's tragic. But I immediately unfollowed that person on FB (how they slipped through into my feed is my fault).

Your first mistAke was going on Facebook.

That at least as bad as listening to Canadian media.

I like facebook now. I have my feed (mostly) curated to it being a news stream of things I am interested in. I allow maybe 5% of friends updates to exist on my feed.

My wife was telling there's someone on the community FB page that's convinced that there's a serial killer in the neighbourhood because she found some animal graves in a green area.

I sometimes click a CBC story to then see what their "Top-5" stories are and get a 10-pound bag of salt ready in the event that I click any of those.
I will never click anything of theirs pertaining to FN, so that wiped out 3 of 5. But I got tricked by some story about a boat damaged by the Coast Guard. Thankfully, the first line contained the word "elder" so I was able to smash my laptop and bury its parts in the harbour faster than the electrons told them that I read their shitty story.

It’s always mildly depressing / entertaining to see what the top 5 news stories are today as ranked by our national broadcaster.

My favourite yesterday was the sympathy piece they wrote about 2 thugs with long histories of violent crime and murder convictions who got gunned down in Ottawa. Let me play them a song on the worlds smallest violin.

When Skip promises points when you order but it’s not being awarded and their customer service is dumb as nails

Apparently TD has decided that it now costs a 3% fee to pay by instalments for insurance.

Not to pay by credit card or something. For pre authorized debit.

Idiots.

They itching for $ and need that cash UPFRONT.
I don't know why anyone would go with TD for insurance. Even if you are with APEGA, most times it is still more expensive than say, Intact, etc.

[killramos]

All I can say is that when I have shopped around that hasn’t been the case for me. Sometimes by quite dramatic margins.

I’m not attached to anyone, but their rates have always been good to me.

They aren’t even affiliated with Apega anymore.

On this particular issue, sounds like ( from a bit of Google fu ) this is the standard practice of everyone else and it was TD who stood out by offering instalments for free.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I switched to TD from Intact because they were a fair bit cheaper for the same coverage.

Home insurance was like 50% cheaper with TD than anyone else. I saved significant $$ by moving from a broker to TD.

Trudeau gave my wife $600 today and another $600 later on, without us asking. All because we have kids under 6 yrs old and I’m sure this covid gift is going to cost me thousands later on. Just to be clear, the peeve is the unsolicited part of it. Our money is going to fucking worthless before that idiot is out of office.

[ExtraSlow]

Trudeau hates parents of older kids.
