Yes, most Canadians don’t mind paying for more services. Tell that to the politicians actively defunding health care while introducing private for-profit clinics that cost more than public health care both to the province and to the patient, just like Doug Ford is doing right now. Public services only work when we elect people willing to make them work. Remember this the next time you go to the polls.
At first you were complaining that you were paying money for a service, and now you’re complaining that you’d rather pay money for a service. If it’s a government service, you’ll have politicians trying to defund it just like they are with health care, or sell it off like Ontario did with Hydro One. If it’s a government regulated private service, it doesn’t have to deal with that, but it needs a way to fund itself. Pick your poison…
You’re not paying a fuck ton of money. Canada Post is a separate entity from the government and is a self-sustaining business that receives no money from the government.
Unsolicited commercial mail is paid for by the company sending it. All mail is paid for by the people sending it. It doesn’t cost you anything to receive it. And when it really matters, like those “rare” correspondence that contain your drivers license, or insurance slips, or your health card, or your doctor’s appointments, or even your small parcels from eBay, I’m sure you want those as soon as they come in. You should care about regular mail delivery. Because once you lose it, it’s never coming back.
So the person that complained their competition is beating them because they deliver packages on evenings and weekends is now complaining that mail, which is essentially small parcels that are paid for accordingly, are delivered too often. Contract negotiation time always brings out the most interesting stories…
Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it “quality time”, and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.
Bullshit. They cry bankrupt every time contract negotiations come up. They just wasted millions on those fucking useless C250 trucks that are so poorly designed that they can’t hold large boxes. They aren’t broke, there is no financial crisis, they just don’t want to pay the people actually doing the work.
They don’t need a warning. They know he’ll go through with it. They want him to go through with it. “Oh that’s just talk” is gaslighting designed to convince you to not do anything about it until it’s too late. This is a warning to everyone else…get out there and VOTE! Don’t let the Conservative party lead us down the path of austerity and cuts like they do every time they are in power.
The federal carbon price is not the “be-all, end-all” of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
The provinces have had literally years to come up with their own solution. They are free to create their own solution right now. The federal carbon tax is merely a back stop for provinces that don’t have their own solution. This is all pure politics that doesn’t help anyone…
I’m hoping so … I can’t ask too many questions to the mother because she doesn’t seem to really know either.
That should have been your first clue. You’re getting 3rd hand information from someone not entirely familiar with the situation, getting information from a son that got limited information from their commander. Stop spreading misinformation…
I learned a long time ago that the manufacturer doesn’t matter much on the long run. They all have a bad model occasionally. I have 500GB Seagate drives that still work, and some 1TB drives that died within a year. I’ve had good luck with recent WD Red 4TB drives, but my 2TB Green drives have all died on me. I had a some of the Hitachi Deskstar drives that worked perfectly for years when no one would touch them because of a bad production run. I currently have a Toshiba 8TB that I had never heard of before, but seems to be rock solid for the last year.
Pick a size that you want, look at what’s available, and research the reasonably priced ones to see if anyone is complaining about them. Review sites can be useful, but raw complaints in user forums will give you a better idea of which ones to avoid.
It’s only select movies that I’m getting in 4K, and any Star Trek that comes out in 4K or maybe the Star Wars 4K77 fan edit that was just released. But even then, they add up fast. I can barely tell the difference, but for some stuff I just want the best available.
Edit: I also did this when 720p VS 1080p was a thing. For a vast majority of stuff, 720p is fine and I’m not going to update that stuff. Most stuff released today isn’t even available or 720p anymore, so I’ve defaulted to 1080p for most new stuff.
Well this should be interesting, trying to make friends with the guy that said Natives need to learn the value of hard work. And don’t think for a second that he’s changed…
Brand is HP/Samsung.
There’s really only one solution. Dump it and buy a old Brother laser jet. HP printers are specifically designed to make it as difficult as possible to use unless you use it exactly the way they want you to use it. And you’re trying to use it in a way they don’t approve. Specifically, you’re trying to use a Samsung branded printer in an area where only the HP version is sold. I know it’s convoluted, I know it’s a minor distinction. But this is just how HP works. And it’s best that you accept it and move on before you waste anymore money on it.
Edit: Proof…
Wanted to play some games, didn’t have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.
Yes, I’m that old.
