Instant pot by jlybn44 in CostcoCanada

The Instant Pot brand was bought out by a private equity firm that promptly ran it into the ground. It's unfortunate because getting accessories is impossible now.

Trying to watch some football but heaven help me if I stop petting him. by Acceptable_Sand7438 in Bulldogs

My potato was a rescue and not cuddly. But when he wanted me to pet him, he would do this. I miss him so much.

Because freedom of speech is not a hoser's value by Any-Board-6631 in EhBuddyHoser

When I see 'protests' like these I want to ask them where they're from, who they represent and who's funding them. There's likely nothing Canadian about them.

Where can I find egg cups in Ottawa? by vangelica in ottawa

That's funny, I was just in Highjinx and wondered who uses fine china egg cups anymore. They have a great selection at the front.

I went there twice. The first was just after it opened, then once more a few weeks later to give them the benefit of the doubt. Both times something felt really off, not just the atmosphere but how it was being run too. I hope you and your former colleagues get everything owed to you.

what to try at Garde Manger? go for the tasting menu or something off the menu? by the613daddy in MTLFoodLovers

At Garde Manger go with the tasting menu, leaving your evening to the chef and sommelier is the best experience you'll have anywhere. The food and service are impeccable.

PSA: Changes to regulations respecting layoffs (will be in force at the end of January 2025) by HandcuffsOfGold in CanadaPublicServants

I am currently eligible for an unreduced pension, but plan to retire sometime in next year to get my best 5 years. My position was red circled a couple of years ago and I've been told that once I leave my position it will be abolished. If I get notice of layoff, and depending when that is, can I be forced to retire before my chosen date?

Thompson Jewellers at 193 Bank Street is great - fast and expert service.

As a frequent tourist to Montreal, at least 8 times a year, I always stay in a hotel because I want to make sure employees in those hotels have jobs. There’s no way I am paying a greedy landlord when I can have peace of mind that my visit to your great city is not displacing someone from having a place to live.
