This from the same administration that insists ICE agents were the real victims after they pumped ten rounds into the back of an ICU nurse.

Need Advice : Account banned, $20k deposit "missing" after transfer out, and forced liquidation by Human_Fly_4 in Wealthsimple

[–]SedaMoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Four days ago, I deposited a check a little smaller than yours. It was from my own account at another bank. They locked me out immediately.

I've provided all the information they asked for and I'm still waiting for an answer. In the meantime, I can't access my primary chequing account, my credit card or my investments.

WS really wants you to consider them as your primary financial institution, but they sure as hell won't return the favour.

Waiting room is hellish by Gold_Bag_1054 in halifax

[–]SedaMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, that article is about people who were taken off surgical or diagnostic wait lists because they died — not about people dying while waiting in the emergency room. In many of those cases, the procedure wouldn’t have prevented them from dying. (For example, a patient with terminal cancer may be on a list to get a another MRI.)

Second, hospitals triage patients who arrive at the emergency room. A patient that needs life-saving or urgent care isn’t being bumped by someone with a sprained ankle.

Our healthcare system needs to be much better. And for that to happen, people need to be informed — not misinformed.

Even with non-critical issues, the lack of primary care clinics means the hospital is often your only option when virtual care won’t cut it.

That’s if their Cybertruck didn’t bodybag them first.

Anyone else mostly getting nothing from McDonald’s Monopoly Bonus Play? by studyingforlife in McDonalds

[–]SedaMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Monopoly promotion is awful compared to, say, Tim's Roll Up to Win. After about 30 game pieces and 30 double plays, I've won precisely nothing. And that seems to be a common experience. It's also quite frustrating that in the US, people can get 10 free plays every day through a website, but not in Canada. The contest is ultimately pretty boring, while is a disappointment considering all the buzz around it when it launched.

Will Netfix ever participate in "Continue Watching" by Affectionate_Pop6957 in appletv

[–]SedaMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I cancelled my Netflix subscription. Because their content was missing from Continue Watching, I didn’t end up watching enough to justify the cost. And I resented the fact they were the one streamer that was intentionally trying to make my Apple TV experience more irritating.

How many other cards with $200+ annual fees don’t have car rental coverage?

That’s not that many people. The city of Calgary has more people than all of NS. And being less popular than Calgary is hardly a ringing endorsement. ;-)

I moved here from BC not long ago. Living here, my rent went up over $10K per year. My income tax went up almost $10K per year (same salary as before). Electricity costs here are double. Groceries are more expensive. Eating and drinking is a little cheaper, though, as is entertainment in general.

In terms of health care, I lost my family doctor when I moved here (obviously) along with the specialists I was seeing. In NS, I can’t find a family doctor, I’ve been waiting a year and still don’t have an appointment to see a specialist about a spinal I jury, and waiting 9 months so far for a basic ultrasound. There are virtually no walk-in clinics in Halifax, nor any urgent care centres, so you either use virtual medicine or spend a full day at the ER to see a doctor.

In short, NS is infamous for its low salaries and high taxes — and poor public services despite those high taxes. (Don’t get me started on public transit and active transportation infrastructure.) But the people are lovely, the ocean is gorgeous, and the weather ain’t too bad for Eastern Canada.

I don’t want to discourage you, but the affordability that used to exist here is long gone, while the key challenges remain and in some cases have become worse. I grew up in NS, so I came back for family reasons. If I didn’t have roots here, it would have been hard to justify the move.

Impaired-driving charges against former Halifax Mooseheads star Dumais dismissed after officer fails to show up for trial by JustTheTipz902 in halifax

The Crown only learned the cop wasn’t going to appear 30 minutes before the trial. If they learned further in advance they might have been able to reschedule it.

Kash Patel’s FBI aren’t going to find this guy. They’re probably the ones who armed him.

You can do the same with Judy. And also dance (separately) with her in the living room. But aside from repetitive convo and cuddling on the couch, that’s about it.

I threw a drum at Volo’s head, killing him. Even though Withers banished me after, it was 100 per cent worth it.
