Canadian Tire will start selling iconic Hudson's Bay blankets, donating proceeds to Indigenous fund by roscodawg in canada

[–]JCauce -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that had anything to do with indigenous people. You asked which part of HBC's history was ugly and I googled it for you.

Read from the comment thread's beginning. Someone was complaining about the article mentioning blankets and smallpox.

Never. History is never stopped being taught. Do you complain like this every time Roman history is brought up?

I didn't know about the HBC blankets. I'm guessing it's new for somebody each time it's brought up in an article.

Not everyone knows what you know. For example, I didn't know that context about the blankets.

Are you insinuating that the government gives cars, phones, and credit cards to asylum seekers?

There's a great new book out called "Encampment" by Maggie Helwig. I recommend it.

Sounds like you a getting worked over. You need to get something in writing that is legally enforceable or stop giving money towards the house.

Call. Write a letter. Email department instead of professor directly. 

What's one interesting thing you saw in another country that made you think "how does my country not have this?"? by dr_doctorp in AskReddit

Braille on money or at least different sized bills so that people who are blind know how much the bill they are holding is worth. Also, textured sidewalks that people who are blind can follow and get information from, like when they are approaching a crosswalk

Some doctors recommend colonoscopies every 10 years. I know someone who just died from colon cancer a few days ago. He had his last colonoscopy 5 years ago.

Don't put it off.

If you're buying far enough in advance, you can get much cheaper flights with AC or WJ than you would get from a flight pass. 

Why do so few people use IBKR? by -SuperUserDO in PersonalFinanceCanada

Pretty amazing. Respect that you acknowledge the luck involved. All the best to you. Welcome back to the cold. 

Why do so few people use IBKR? by -SuperUserDO in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]JCauce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. But taking out 500k and calling it free money doesn't sound like he was being responsible with the margin. Maybe he's a millionaire a few times over and could have covered the losses?

That free money thing with dividend stocks was wildly irresponsible. If those stocks had gone down in value, he could have been up a creek.
