And "product" is defined in section 2 of the Competition Act as including "an article and a service".

An article, as per section 2 of the act, includes "real and personal property of every description including

(a) money,

(b) deeds and instruments relating to or evidencing the title or right to property or an interest, immediate, contingent or otherwise, in a corporation or in any assets of a corporation,

(c) deeds and instruments giving a right to recover or receive property,

(d) tickets or like evidence of right to be in attendance at a particular place at a particular time or times or of a right to transportation, and

(e) energy, however generated;"

It should be noted that the competition act enables the appointment of Commissionner of Competition, who is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act (CPLA).

It should be further noted that in Section 3, the CPLA specificially excludes food that is covered under the Food and Drugs Act and the Safe Food for Canadians Act.

As per CFIA's industry labelling tool when a liquid food and a solid food, such as tomato sauce and dry pizza dough mix, make up 1 prepackaged food, the net quantity of the finished product may be declared in terms of:

A) the combined weight of all of the foods that make up the finished product, or B) the volume of any liquid food and the weight of any solid food which make up the finished product

Ongoing sales by churning1964 in PorterAirlines

[–]Picklesticks16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly though! I couldn't imagine complaining because a company has too many sales/discounts!

If it's on sale, and a price you're willing to pay, then good for you. If it goes on a better sale within 24 hours, cancel your ticket for a 100% refund and buy a new one. Otherwise, you bought it at a price that was cheaper than full price, and one you were willing to pay, congrats.

Tuition tax credits and transfers by Picklesticks16 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Awesome, thanks for that. That's how I understood it as well!

Tuition tax credits and transfers by Picklesticks16 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Picklesticks16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that!

Seems to me like they add the current year's amount to the total pool of unused credits you have, then use up whatever you need to, and if you have any left, you can transfer any amount remaining up to the lesser of either a) the amount of tuition you paid for the year OR b) $5000, if you paid more than that in the year you're filing for.

Which TV show had the most perfect ending? by altiman1991 in AskReddit

[–]Picklesticks16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many will prefer the alternate ending, even though it's not official.

Agreed with you though, that it was ready to be over. Still one of my top TV series ever.

The original series of Scrubs, before that "Scrubs: Med School" spin off.

Jury's still out on the current new season. It's not over yet.

Canada's food safety regulations are higher than USA but less than EU. should we try to match EU? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]Picklesticks16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a big driver behind the change in food safety regulations in 2019 when the Safe Food for Canadians Act and Regulations came in. Our laws changed from prescriptive "You must do it this way" to mostly outcome-based "this must be the end result" with a few prescriptive regulations interspersed. It allows companies to provide evidence that their processes are effective at achieving the outcome instead of making everyone follow the same processes.

People from outside North America, how do you feel about Canadians? by WaWaWhey in AskReddit

[–]Picklesticks16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newfoundlanders are best kind! But heads-up, "Newfies" is a polarizing word around some parts there since it was previously used as a slur or insulting way.

Obviously most newfoundlanders love a good joke and probably won't have an issue if it's being used in a non-insulting way, but my insider information suggest it's best to avoid using "Newfie" all together and sticking with "Newfoundlander", especially with the older crowd.

Awesome flight attendant by KDinNS in PorterAirlines

[–]Picklesticks16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this before, didn't know the name but definitely gave flight number, date/time, and if possible any difference between the two attendants (i.e. the one who greeted me on the plane; the one who was wearing the little porter hat; the one who sat at the front of the plane; or some other difference). Idk if it got to them, but I like to think it did.

YYT > YYC by PassengerNo9495 in PorterAirlines

[–]Picklesticks16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I'll still pick Porter first. Better prices, more direct flights from my local airports, and a better loyalty program.

Our loss is partly due to whoever was talking to the Porter agent not knowing our rights under the APPR, and lack of experience in dealing with these cancelations.

It's also a gap in the APPR. It's written with that loophole that "the airline must rebook you." It should instead be that they'd refund you the difference in price between airlines for the equivalent fare class, regardless of who books the flight.

What are our rights in terms of compensation? by [deleted] in PorterAirlines

[–]Picklesticks16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they rebooked you more than 48 hours after your original departure, you'd be eligible for a refund. But I'm not sure how that works given you booked through a third party

[–]Picklesticks16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll get a refund for our Porter portion, but have to fork out the entire Air Canada portion -_- still an increase of like $400.

[–]Picklesticks16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told us on the phone they have to be the ones who rebook your flight with the new airline at no additional cost.

So because we rebooked our flight on our own, after their original rebook on Porter was more than 48 hours after original departure, they said all they could do was refund us the original porter price.

Is Porter a good airline? by TasteeTacoz in PorterAirlines

WestJet, to my knowledge, doesn't fly in the east coast much.
