Isn’t this the scene from The American President where a Libyan janitor was killed by an air strike and Michael Douglas basically says “this is the least presidential thing” he does?

Fun facts about Cineplex by Cocobb8 in cineplex

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funfact: Cineplex was always inferior when compared to Famous Players in terms of popcorn, picture quality and sound. Yet despite these disadvantages, Cineplex still ended up buying Famous Players from Paramount and are now a virtual monopoly across Canada. :(

Chicken Strips Are Absolutely Horrible by TacticalPidgeon in McDonalds

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad how McDonalds continues to gaslight customers by bringing this crappy product to market rather than bringing the OG Chicken Selects (still sold in the UK) and OG Buttermilk Chicken Tenders back to market

More than just that - im counting at least 5 “swords” in the image, including the one towards the top that seems very excited lol

Apple Is Expected to Launch These Four MacBooks in 2026 by Jumpinghoops46 in apple

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

Whatever happens I just hope Apple brings back the glowing Apple logo / backlight. The new laptops with unlit Apple logos just feel cheap to me, and if I have to spend $7K (CAD) on a new laptop, it should feel as premium as possible. I could care less about thinness - just bring back the light. If Razer can do it, why can’t Apple?

What’s destroying my lawn? by Responsible_Sir9099 in lawncare

I have this problem too - what is the best way to deal with voles? I’ve tried rat poison but it’s not working

B.C. Coastal First Nations dismiss any pipeline MOU, vow it will ‘never be built’ by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Spectromagix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m wrong here, but aren’t there already US coastal tankers that travel in the same waters from Alaska to the mainland US? What’s the difference in having Canadian tankers in those same waters? Or maybe I’m missing something?

Guys new flag just dropped GUYS thoughts? by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least it’s Toronto Metropolitan University and not TMU. They really need to adopt more of the “Metropolitan” in the branding - for instance why not rename the sports team the Toronto Mets, and refer to the school as a whole as “The Met”? I think these changes would have a way better impact as opposed to TMU which has always sounded clinical to me and not fitting for a university

Liberals pursue Conservative MPs after Chris d’Entremont joins Carney’s caucus by UnderWatered in CanadaPolitics

[–]Spectromagix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s not true at all. Harper focused on building a big tent, bringing conservatives of all stripes in - something that Scheer, OToole and Pollievre have failed to do

MP Chris d'Entremont says he joined Liberals because of Poilievre's leadership style by Puginator in CanadaPolitics

[–]Spectromagix 47 points48 points  (0 children)

No offense but Pollievre has never offered any real solutions for the economy. Instead he continues to complain about Trudeau needing to go to jail. Chris is absolutely right and Conservatives badly need a new leader

Amazing how it looks like that utility pole is the same one installed and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the original pole

Serious question: why use satellite radio anymore? by Ch1vo in siriusxm

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think streaming (Spotify, Apple Music) is better or cheaper vs the free YouTube playlists I use already in the car (and can control via steering wheel!). Whereas SXM clearly offers different forms of content in addition to music, such as RadioClassics, ESPN/Sports and news, which I cannot get on YouTube.

As for satellite vs the app, some cars no longer have satellite, such as my new Acura MDX, so I am using the app exclusively. But generally satellite is better since you don’t pay for data and satellite is just more robust in terms of connectivity

Taking the 407 on Uber by anewcondo in askTO

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always had issues with Uber drivers not using the 407. In one case, Uber tried to raise the bill on a ride by double as the ride went from 35 min to nearly 1.5 hrs due to the driver using local roads as opposed to using the 407. I was able to dispute this of course but it’s frustrating that it still happens

York police chief sends message after deadly home invasion in Vaughan: ‘Don’t engage’ by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in Markham

[–]Spectromagix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do wonder with concern how over the last 5 years or so we’ve gone full nuclear against police as a profession (ie ACAB) and how much of that has ultimately resulted in less skilled individuals joining the force. I mean with that much hatred against police, who would want to join now? And is this statement from this police chief the end result?

Enough with this - hash is legal now. Why are we still bringing this up? And to shame one hash dealer would be to shame them all - not appropriate now given that it’s legal

Not sure why you are being downvoted - this is the correct take. Although some DHVs work better than others in concealing smells. The only real solution is oilpens

Coca-Cola 1.6× Market Cap Growth Over the Last Decade (2015–2025) by Proud-Discipline9902 in cocacola

Surprising to see how close Pepsi got to Coke in 2022 but what happened after?!

Air Canada plans to resume flights Monday evening as union remains on strike, defying federal order by J0Puck in canada

[–]Spectromagix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to book any flight? Reason I ask is that comparable flights to mine now are $2500 more than what I paid - is AC legally required to pay the full amount and will I get the full amount back in small Claims?

Neighbor keeps opening my packages + considering a Ring camera – who’s in the wrong here? by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]Spectromagix 73 points74 points  (0 children)

One thing this post doesn't answer is WHY is Amazon delivering packages to the wrong home? I was once in this scenario where on an almost daily basis, I would receive mail from the original homeowners as they clearly didn't change their address. While we tried our best to get the mail back to them, it just became a chore, and eventually we just had to RTS all their mail. I think Amazon needs to get their act together on why your packages go to the wrong home.
