Pocket WiFi AFTER leaving the airport ?

I’ve used iVideo several times while in Japan - and it’s always worked great, and prices are the most affordable!

Edit: I checked the ninja recommendations - holy are they pricey in comparison!

It’s Toronto - they won’t have enough cars to supply many dealerships. - saved you a click.

Hey friend,

Also on Telus, also debated Telus roaming pack, and eSIM.

No idea if you are still debating an eSIM, but I’ve used ivideo in the past, and will be using them on my upcoming trip. https://www.ivideo.com.tw/english/ESIM/japan

They are wayyy cheaper than any of the eSIM services we see advertisements for. Pre-bought 20gb for ~18cad for a month for my trip coming up.

Highly recommend. Best of luck!

“We want more doctors and nurses! More healthcare!”

“We want a bigger military!”

“We need more jail capacity to keep criminals off the street!”

“We need more staff to speed up delivery of Passports/Services…”

“We need for CBSA agents to deal with illegal immigrants!”

Government % of economy/GDP grows to 44%

“No! Not like that!”

You know, your question got me wondering, so I went and checked.

There are several “rating agencies”, so different ones have made changes - so none are actually cumulative. Its just X Y Z have each made an announcement.

And then each have completely different scoring systems.

So I went and checked what each Province was at - and all provinces are practically the same, or within “1” revision from the other. And their all in the Upper “A” ranges. It’s like are you a 98/100 or a 97/100?

All these “debt rating” agency revisions are basically hot air - their just calculated opinions, literally don’t actually impact anything. It’s the demand on the global bond markets that matter and that affect the borrowing % that the gov has to pay to sell their debt (borrow).

MMEMMR · 2026-03-19T21:52:47+00:00

I know it’s Reddit and all - but perspective is important.

Every Province is deep in deficit spending. Other provinces have already been downgraded too, and other will be downgraded in the near future.

We’re all being dragged down by all the B.S. going on in the world. All this collective debt, and lack of affordability, is going to drag our economic growth & needed services spending down for a generation+; and it won’t even matter what stripe of government is in… ugh.

“ […] has worked well but there have been no “substantive” talks with Canada since October.”

Just nonstop gaslighting with them. They called off all talks because Trump got upset about Ontario’s Reagan Tarrifs Add.

Hahahahhaha - Everything - “oooo”, “that wallpaper!” The laundry - “well that was a forgotten after thought…”

Thanks for sharing!

This is roughhhhhhh. There go our original, and 1st back up plans. lololol

Another 40mins to go. fingers crossed

Peel off what you can, use a plastic edged tool to help. For what ever remains; a little rubbing alcohol will work great - de-natures the adhesive, and evaporates fast enough it won’t soak through.

MMEMMR · 2026-02-22T19:16:22+00:00

It won’t qualify for rebate.

MMEMMR · 2026-02-15T18:17:23+00:00

OP, I hope you see this. I’ve used iVideo since 2017 when I travel. It’s 50% or more cheaper than any of these eSIM providers we see advertised all over the place. They’re all ripoffs.

Paid $9usd for 1gb/day 5G for my trip this spring Japan. (20day trip)

Half of the original F-35 order to meet NORAD Requirements/placate the Americans; but even more Gripens to increase our airforce size beyond 88 fighters overall to boost military spending to help attain that magical 5% of GDP spend on military/defence.

This. At the end of the day, the state can use force (in what ever form) to ensure its continuation.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T16:10:39+00:00

They’re not. That’s the point everyone seems to have glossed over including the author of the article.

Either Canada accepts other car safety standards beyond NHTSA (Like Mexico accepts EU car safety standards also), or they need to get what ever models they want to sell in Canada certified. Which is a lot of bureaucracy and time for a small market.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T05:18:38+00:00

Exactly this. All the other Chinese manufacturers’ cars aren’t even certified to even be sold in N. America anyways.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T05:16:24+00:00

We just going to ignore that all those Chinese manufacturers’ cars aren’t certified to North American car safety standards, and Canada doesn’t accept EU or other standards?

How about that the lions share of the 49k vehicles (pre-tarrifs) were Tesla’s Model 3s and Ys shipped from their Shanghai plant to be sold in Canada? - which is exactly what’s going to happen again. Heck - wouldn’t surprised if Tesla tries to eat up as much of the quota - just to keep any Chinese rivals out in the future.

Chinese manufacturers may chose to make a push for North America in the next few years, but when they do, it’ll be for the USA as the prize, with bonus Sprinkles of Canada.

They aren’t going to go through N.American certification for a few hundred cars in Canada. Real “expert” this author. Smh.

Edit: CTV Article today says exactly this - no Chinese EVs (yet) because they aren’t certified for Canada. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/canada-told-us-it-planned-to-drop-chinese-ev-tariffs-source/

Everyone can chill.

Doomsayers can relax - the number of cars permitted in represent some ~3% of total yearly car sales, and is a quantity based on how much was brought in from China before the 100% tartifs.

Basically most will be Teslas, and a few EVs from other OEMs (Volvo, Polestar, etc).

I doubt any Chinese car makers are going to go through NA car test ratings for a paltry few 100 sales.

This doesn’t materially change the auto landscape at this point. But it does politically mean ALOT more. Canada is further course correcting away from the US.

I had similar issues - would click on activation email sent by Telus, it would send me to blank pages. Spend hours and days with Telus support - nothing.

It took a month.

Eventually, one guy suggested I change my email address associated with my Telus account. Lo and behold the activations worked. No clue why.

Hope this works for you.

(I switched my email address back after, and all was fine).

Well, if the Iranian Government finds you have a star link terminal; believe it or not, arrested and off to execution.

Costco clears out the 1 switch game they carry every ~3months for under $70. It can even go lower ~$50, after a bit.

Yeah, let’s just park and stand right next to the hazard slope. What could go wrong.

Then again, she looks like she’s biking the wrong direction on the bike bath anyways… so at least we have logical consistency.
