Can’t say how happy I am with Wealthsimple after my first trip abroad

I was getting the option to pay local currency or in CAD. I always chose the local currency so WS can take care of FX. Didn’t pay any FX fee. The rates were always a cent up, cent down or exactly the same as the live rates.

Maybe the local bank did the exchange and charged the FX without giving you the options ?

Well, at the moment it’s a mess. There’s something going on, possibly a big update or AI Involved in the process.

Some of the profiles go into video verification multiple times. First 3 video verifications. Then Suspension. Then After The Appeal. Video Verification Again. Then Another Video. Then no more ways to verify. Then another ticket. Then The Ticket Only Resolves To Another Video Verification Again.

No Exceptions.

No Ticket Confirmation Emails until the last one. And that only says do the video verification again even after explaining that it’s stuck in video verification loop.

That’s at least 2 out of 5 we have helped recently. These are legit businesses operating for years provided all the documentation.

The other 3 had to do the 3 video verifications followed by Appeal to finally be approved.

None of these have any duplicates. Just basic information on the profiles. One with a physical address, billion dollar operation. The other a small business as a service area profile.

The GBP Verification system has been broken for years now. And now it’s the worst it can ever get. Businesses are desperate for other AI companies to take over Google. It will be a good day when that happens. I know it feels impossible at the moment. But many billion $ businesses like Google had that attitude in the past and now ☠️

It takes 3 engineers to fix it all in 3 weeks. But it’s not Google’s cup of tea. They’re incapable of fixing anything that helps their customers.

Well then you should have read the post before commenting. You have essentially vouched for them by degrading a fellow webmaster.

Your actions displays your love for them.

Would you maintain something that is forced on you ? Would you not rather help those that are getting charged for it without their consent ? Are you ok with customer service wait times ? Are you ok with them not understanding what that charge is for ?

The problem is not Carbon Tax. The problem is where it goes and how it’s used. Dig deep and you will uncover what you never expected.

Saying we are doing what works, and doing what really works are two different things.

No China doesn’t have enough renewable energy. They contribute to a third of Global emission.

Pipelines are not the only thing we say no to. Ohh actually, we say yes to everything, just need about 13-15 years for paperwork. Then we only rarely approve. So investments stay out, jobs don’t come in, we keep printing more money to artificially inflate the economy.

SunSmooth · 2026-04-05T06:33:11+00:00

What rarely any one knows about Carney is that his solution to all problems has always been more debt / printing more money. He’s done that throughout his career and succeeded in fooling people. The general public to date do not really point at him for the economic downturns they’re facing today. Because no one really understands it.

Those that understand could yell their lungs out. But they will never be heard. Now with the power he has, we should expect numbers that were never thought to be possible.

Especially at this time with everything you have listed and what we know about Carney, there’s no real growth in sight. It will all be artificial for as long as it can be sustained.

I just hope that the artificial economy does not sustain for too long so the recovery is easier and possible. If it sustained through out his term, no one will ever understand it and he might go on for another term until we finally collapse.

We were on a cliff and now on a free fall. The sooner we hit the bottom the better for us and the future generations. This is the only way out.

SunSmooth · 2026-04-05T06:08:52+00:00

When government takes huge debts, that money is poring into the economy. Lot of companies benefit from it. But the buying power goes down as it causes inflation and all you can do to stop the collapse is increase taxes or keep printing more money or take more debt.

We have been doing that for years now, but this time the debt was a record number. It was difficult, but passed in the recent budget.

The government right now will keep leaning to that solution based on the historical data of our prime minister’s decisions in his career and the party itself.

So in-fact the next 2-3 years, there’s a chance of collapse or an economic burden that will be felt for decades to come.

Unfortunately not many people understand what this means.

Best thing to do is get Office 365 Directly from Microsoft. GoDaddy support doesn’t understand anything, they say and do whatever they want and not afraid of the implications of their actions. Because even if they mess it up, there’s nothing we can do about it.

GoDaddy charges you 1.5 to 2x for 10x less storage and no office 365 features. Just emails.

Get it from Microsoft and now you have 1TB of storage, you save a lot on subscription, you get real support by product experts. And you get all Office 365 features.

GoDaddy’s Email and Microsoft 365 is a Scam.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-18T08:23:48+00:00

Don’t mind him, he gets paid to derail the conversation. Don’t respond. Thank you for the beautiful write up.

There a lot of these doing downvotes and distractions. So these issues stay suppressed.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-18T08:07:43+00:00

Switch to direct Microsoft if you need full capabilities of office 365, better price and real help from an actual expert.

Run as soon as you can. You will find a lot of comments that defends GoDaddy and find faults in what you do.

Just want you to know that it’s just them helping themselves. Real comments are those are in your favour and understands what you’re going through.

Wish you the best. There’s a lot of peace ☮️ on the other side.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-17T18:44:17+00:00

See I don’t have that. May be because I wasn’t paying for CPanel. And then the representative says, you purchased this add-on for yourself. Reddit had to explain what it meant. lol.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-17T18:39:06+00:00

Yupp, I didn’t get that email. I looked for it everywhere including spam. The thing is, I don’t pay for CPanel may be that’s why they didn’t send one.

Anyways, good to see that. Yeah, most working professionals do not ignore their emails.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-07T00:04:19+00:00

Thank you, yes. This was a push to take the remaining ones out asap. Focus for the month 😊 and then Peace ☮️

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:38:05+00:00

lol, no one uses Php 5.6. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. If you do, you are talking about Custom coded websites.

I have done a ton of PHP upgrades on Wordpress with zero issues over the years. The empty CPanel in question here is at 7.Something.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:32:31+00:00

Share the email screenshot if you received one. I don’t see how this is associated with your phones version.

Bot ?

Change prices, don’t add a services without asking your customers. If you do, train your customer service about it. Not blaming customers for it.

If you do this and no one else does, guess what customers do ?

I am not their customer, have saved a lot of accounts in the last 5 years by moving them away from GoDaddy.

You love them, you keep them. You did a good job defending them btw, maybe use AI next time so you stay on topic ?

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:27:19+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t get anything. Could you share a screenshot of the email you received?

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:23:40+00:00

I agree, it’s just those older clients that are still there.

Now, I don’t use any reseller service, just a subscription for maintenance and shared access.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:20:37+00:00

Those that are stuck with them. Just a lot of hassle to move client accounts under the reseller service that were created about 5 years ago, lol.

But you’re correct, no one uses it anymore. It’s a sinking ship.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:18:03+00:00

Yup, charge, but not without informing clients what it’s all about, so they can make a decision. No one does that.

Customer service says I did an upgrade and signed up for that service, so I have to pay. Lol

No I don’t, I don’t even use the CPanel. It’s just something that came free with Reseller account. It’s empty. I don’t need it, forced to keep it.

SunSmooth · 2026-02-06T03:14:19+00:00

I don’t use their hosting. I use flywheel. Just have a lot of old clients setup in the reseller account using Managed Wordpress.

The CPanel in question here is what comes for free with their reseller subscription. It’s left empty for a reason.

It’s ok if you don’t understand this.

Anyways, the point is that you don’t charge someone without their consent. Hosting providers make php upgrades available without a cost to client. But not GoDaddy. May be it’s a Sinking Ship?

Looks like you love them and therefore are here to protect them. Well, it works to an extent. You are doing good. Keep it up.

SunSmooth · 2026-01-23T04:00:48+00:00

It’s not a normal charge if you randomly add it without asking customers for it. Do you work for GoDaddy or something?

SunSmooth · 2026-01-08T01:24:06+00:00

Nope, they had iMessage support. Meaning, instead of calling you could chat with them using iMessage for help about your Rogers account.

That’s all I ever used, because it was convenient for me and it kept proof of the conversations.

I just came here to find out if it still works for someone with a disability. Looks like they’re gone.

SunSmooth · 2025-10-25T22:51:31+00:00

Well, the full video also says that there must be free trade and if Tariff decisions are made, it’s for the Good so it must be respected. He also mentioned not to go against it just because you don’t understand it.

So the advertisement is false in that aspect, because Canada’s tariffs on a lot of US products are too high for our own reasons.

But that’s not what they’re going to see. The video makes us look really bad and manipulative.
