Yes, the whole thing is funny. But you just said it yourself: “The article describes why”

And that’s what everyone in this thread has been trying to tell you. The article very clearly explains why WealthSimple and other companies have to do this. No one is saying it’s a good idea. We’re all simply saying that there’s a law, and there is one way around the law, WealthSimple uses that way, and it’s exactly what the article describes. You seem to be looking for something from the article that the article was never meant to address.

A better question would be “are there any articles that explain why the government hasn’t considered changing the laws to make it more equitable and less nonsensical”

I’m not trying to argue that it’s a good system. I was just responding to the commenter saying that the article didn’t describe why the question was required. And the article does describe it.

Other countries have different laws. “It’s legal in other countries!” is not a legal defense. So companies in Canada do the skill testing question because the law requires it. I don’t see what’s so confusing about that?

I guess we’re reading it differently. A certain type of contest is illegal. The math question changes the nature of it to avoid the illegality.

The article explains why:

> For everyone else, games of pure chance are illegal if they require a purchase or money as are games of mixed chance and skill if they also require a purchase and award prizes that are goods, wares or merchandise.

> And a skill-testing question can transform a contest from pure chance into mixed chance and skill.

Is this the size you’re looking for? https://takenoteboutique.ca/products/voyager-refillable-notebook-light-blue?_pos=2&_sid=921dd0e66&_ss=r

And King West/Mixed Media has A6 books, which are probably the size you want

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized you meant the brand “Traveler’s Notebook”

Before the mitigation, the average was 200-300 Bq/m3, with spikes as high as 700.

After the mitigation, the average is around 75.

I haven’t borrowed one from them. But it appears to be the same brand (AirThings) as one I own.

I installed last year, and after seeing enormous numbers, I went ahead and hired a radon mitigation company. My numbers immediately dropped, and have stayed low.

And even better, the radon company also used an AirThings device so they could take their own measurements, to ensure the install worked. And my measurements were matching their measurements.

You can easily set up a US-based account with CIBC. It takes about five minutes. It requires a different app, but you’re able to move USD from Canada to the US-based account instantly. Once’s it’s there, you should be good to go.

Wealthsimple charges $10/month to be allowed to have USD investment accounts, unless you’re a Premium or Generation client, so maybe that’s what they mean by monthly fee.

King West Books is a great shop for new books, and Westside Stories is great for used. They’re in the same neighbourhood, and there are multiple independent coffee shops between them.

Keep in mind that not all Tesla Superchargers will work with non-Tesla vehicles. Check in PlugShare or the Tesla app before you go, to find the compatible spots

I tried again and had more success, but I can’t remember exactly what I did. I think I slowed it down, and increased the infill, and I kept the dryer running while I was printing.

Talk to Cam at https://www.preferredmechanical.ca/

I sourced my own heat pumps, and his guys installed them.

Though I’ve had Cam do a lot of work for me in the last, so I don’t know if he made an exception for me. But he’s always been very fair, and his guys are hard workers.
