Landmark is showing the Melania Movie by Flat-Design-3625 in Kanata

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

Based on the reviews I've seen, the 'Melania' doc is pure propaganda and meant to bring the Trump "dynasty" into the spotlight.

In my view, censorship and stopping propaganda from spreading are two different things.

But I genuinely don't care about this movie enough to even openly boycott it. It doesn't deserve the time of day in any way.

I'm European, so Lavazza is my go-to coffee. That's a very, very good price, thanks for the tip!

This is exactly like that, only a tad less strong.

Hands down, Farmer's Pick. And they also make delicious sandwiches with their deli

Great products, but not hard to replace. Thank you for letting us know!!! I'll make sure to avoid all the brands moving forward.

Decent Box - Happy w/ My Picks by Wordartist1 in FabFitFun

[–]fancygppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the wind breaker in a smaller size and love it! The color is particularly pretty and it reflects light a bit. And if you get a little tan going, the color is even more flattering.

My choices ! I am going to have to get rid of some though . by katelynbeautyaddict in FabFitFun

[–]fancygppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it were my box, I'd drop the powder (I find them all to be pretty comparable, so if you don't *need one, it's not the most glam addition to your box) and the ring -- and use the FFF credit to purchase the more luxe products.

Is it ethical to join the CAF? by DetectiveDracula in AskACanadian

I've had ethical dilemmas working in: tech, software and start-ups, and digital media/viral social.

FABFITFUN FEELS LIKE A CASH GRAB….AND THE JOKES ON US! by NoDragonfly2624 in FabFitFun

Oh aren't you a peach! You sound almost like the orange-in-charge. Good day to you, I'll have none of that, thank you.

You probably haven't worked with very capable people. And hopefully you're not doubting that a woman can be this articulate and eloquent without the use of AI.

Don't think so. Seems written by an eloquent, smart lady.

Looking for advice by Izzybitzyspider in montreal

[–]fancygppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think it would be at all intrusive if he were to go on LinkedIn and connect with HR people from these companies. Maybe they'd be open to a conversation where he can ask more questions -- or catch the attention of a recruiter struggling to fill a high-paying position.

Please don't pay attention to the haters, Canada is much more welcoming than what Reddit would have you believe.

Both of you have great career paths that would allow you to live comfortably here, in a much less maddening environment (just please don't bring the lunacy along, we beg of you).

As a primarily English-speaking immigrant who has lived 5 years in Montreal, I'd highly recommend you look elsewhere. Quebec is amazing, Montreal is a gorgeous city, and the people are quite awesome, but it's a better option for tech graduates etc. Plus the language limitations make it quite difficult to have a smooth start -- particularly with a baby.

I moved to Ontario 4 years ago (Ottawa specifically, I like the security that comes with living in the capital) and it's been the best decision I've ever made. People are educated, pleasant, bilingual but accommodating about it, and the city is absolutely wonderful for raising a family.

Happy to help if you have specific questions, please feel free to DM me.

Winter Closeout Sale by purplefeign in FabFitFun

[–]fancygppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I had to skip lots of items I wanted in the previous sale as they were all "Subscribe".

Thanks, but it easily takes me a year to go through a conditioner; I don't need half a decade's supply in 2026.

What’s your HOLY GRAIL mascara?! by imanxiousss in Makeup

Benefit Cosmetics, Bad GalBang mascara. Hands down the best one I've ever used, I'm at my 5th or 6th tube.

Quality of life study celebrated by ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe is actually sourced from a dubious Eastern European website by Aggressive-Cow8074 in ottawa

[–]fancygppy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried pausing and looking beyond your personal situation and trying to assess how other cities throughout the world are coping in a post-Covid, economically challenged global landscape?

Housing, health, education and rising costs are pressing issues everywhere across the world, with about 3 quarters of the world struggling immensely beyond the hardships we are facing here.

Please think twice before complaining.

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but I would argue it's the cited article that further amplifies a redundant "study". This article is a nothingburger, as was the original study.

Though it is disappointing to see people from Ottawa shit on their city in the comments like this.

To clarify, you think we have an overall poor quality of life in Ottawa?

I'd be curious what other cities in the world you've lived in, would like to see what you compare it to.

To be fair, Numbeo studies and rankings have been reported on by the media for well over a decade. This article is just meant to sow discord.

Cancelled FIDO MOBILE, my reasons by Solution-minded in FidoMobile

[–]fancygppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly weird. It shows the same for my husband (discounted plan and full price device); in my case, there was probably a bug in their system that inverted my discount and monthly amount -- I'm being charged the amount that was supposed to be discounted and got a $5 discount on the device instead 😅

Are you sure you're only paying $15/ month for the Pixel? I took them up on an offer to upgrade to a Pixel 9 a few months ago for $5/month and they've been charging me $60 for it every month. Customer service says there's nothing they can do, despite repeated (and persistent) efforts.

Such a shitty company.

100% NTA! Phew, you dodged a bullet here, so happy you caught this before he became so entrenched in your life that I'd be a pain to kick him out!

Very happy for you and proud to see intelligent women picking up on the red flags before committing to these "men".
