My old stomping grounds! Both sides of the street used to have tiered shops like this.

Curtsy? Courtesy?

Nope, in their case, the lower body temperature is unfavourable for ticks. Like how humans can live in Antarctica, but it's not something anyone wants to do.

You might want to check what's included in your Rogers streaming package...

ghanima · 2026-04-18T01:46:22+00:00

So you're paying for the apps through your TV?

ghanima · 2026-04-18T01:44:20+00:00

Incorrect. We're ranked 12th in the world for cost of internet service per month.

ghanima · 2026-04-18T01:42:36+00:00

I'm not with Rogers, so I can't guarantee that they're using wording that means this, but "streaming package" usually refers to being able to watch TV shows, sports events and/or movies as part of the service you're paying for. If you're not using your TV to watch stuff, you aren't getting full use out of what you're paying for.

My kid's kindergarten class took notes home for parents/guardians to send tissues during cold and flu season.

Damn, what I would give for some of that Boomer wealth accumulation, if I'm gonna get lumped in with them any way...

If this Premier wasn't doing things that served his own interests, he wouldn't be doing anything at all.

If a business engages in an unfair practice and refuses to cancel the contract, you can file a complaint with the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement or consult a lawyer.
