The PM agrees with The Globe and Mail once and now they think they’ll get two in a row?

Could you edit your comment to include a homophone in your third sentence? For instance, substitute “no” with “know”, or “way” with “weigh”?

I’ll delete my comment afterwards. It’s just that comedy often comes in threes.

Yes. According to my experience in my small corner of the world, around 2010, the cool people had iPhones, but when you wanted to do serious business, you still used a BlackBerry. Unfortunately, some easily-influenced executives often would prioritize looking cool and just let their I.T department figure out how they can get their work done, even though Apple had nothing that could compare to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

On top of that, most consumers and gullible executives didn’t see the hidden benefits of BES, because with Research In Motion’s (RIM) push to enter the consumer market, all the marketing material out at the time focused on the comparatively impotent consumer offering, BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), instead.

Trying to survive in the narrow-margins of the consumer market killed RIM. In 2011, you would get teased for having a BlackBerry if you didn’t know how to stand up for yourself and articulate how no other mobile device had the level of magic* making everything work in the back end.

* BES ran on a dozen JAVA services which required arcane magic to work.

Good point.

The reality is that the rich have ways of making gains look like losses on paper. Capital gains taxes mainly hurt people who can’t afford an accountant.

Do those things have the same Return On Investment?

Some times you’ve got to spend money to make money.

Loblaws, I think.

You’ve pointed out an aspect of this that has escaped too many. You don’t fight nationalism with more nationalism. This trade war can only result in stronger trade partnerships with other nations.

You’ve got an interesting take on grammar, and you have me at a disadvantage. I’d love to understand what you just wrote in your first paragraph.

I’d eat these if they didn’t have milk in them.

Hopefully candy makers will get a clue one day soon that incorporating as many unnecessary allergens as possible in a single product is bad for business.

If the baddies don’t want to be a part of something, that means the thing is worth supporting, right?

Thank you for looking at what I wrote and seeing humour rather than malice.

Your tea bag…

No, it’s not, because I use something other than tea bags.

That’s you. That’s what you wrote.

I’m having difficulty understanding your post but you’re on the right track with Active PFC causing issues with UPSs.

I work in healthcare. This already happens. The problem is with codifying it.

So, is Trudeau just too fiscally liberal for his fiscally conservative finance minister picks? I mean, a good finance minister does skew fiscally conservative compared to the rest of their party, regardless of which party they are a member.

I’m probably giving him wayyy too much credit here.

Geeze, I’m old. I was thrown off by the metal bars.

This just happened to me a week ago. WestJet missed their own connecting flight and they found seats on an American Airlines flight to my destination via an extra overnight stay in the USA, gave me a few meal vouchers (useless at the airport 7-11) and paid for the hotel. They didn’t tell me I’d have to:

• pay for my luggage again
• pay roaming fees to call only to find out they gave my hotel shuttle to someone else
• pay for a taxi ride to my resort because their shuttle service marked me as a no-show on the day I would have arrived had they not screwed up.

The US customs agent was bewildered when told I didn’t want to visit the united states but had little choice.

CSIS is generating clickbait now?

Remember the last time someone had “some information” about “possible foreign interference” and it was “someone else paid for their meal and they didn’t document it in the ethics ledger.”

I’m not saying that either is fine (accepting gifts/meals, nor forgetting to do some routine documentation) but stop issuing press releases informing the public that you’re about to issue a press release.

Holy moley
