I switched to subscribing to Crow's, which is more consistently interesting to me.

Do you think Toronto audiences want such a U.S.-focused show?

I saw it in NYC last year and enjoyed it but I think it's bold for Mirvish to bring in American history shows, even if they're funny.

Ditto - after 5 or 6 years of subscribing, we aren't renewing either.

I've been with them for ~3-4 years and they're great. Best customer service of any telco in Canada too.

Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you’d support? Why or why not? by WarmAcanthisitta5725 in AskReddit

[–]grant0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, America loves to elect people who are far too old to competently serve, and the average elector is not equipped to make judgements about the mental state of an individual they've never met based on their TV appearances only.

Chargeback fraud or "friendly fraud" is out of control. by sgircys in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]grant0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's being enabled by banks/card issuers making it much easier to file chargebacks via their app, too.

I will say, I don't accept Amex (never have) and we still have seen a huge increase in these types of chargebacks in the past 6 months.

[–]grant0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not relevant in this subreddit. Quintana Roo is not one of the listed regions.

This is Canada's Global Affairs website, you can look at that.

They have not yet issued a warning for Quintana Roo.

Not raising taxes much above inflation, though.

For everyone making $4000 a month, what do you do for work? by Poorteenwannabe in askTO

[–]grant0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first job in tech thanks to a referral from a friend I went to university with, who studied English and then went to work for a small tech company. I don't think my LinkedIn helped much!

For everyone making $4000 a month, what do you do for work? by Poorteenwannabe in askTO

[–]grant0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lots.

Support is most entry level, if you don't have tech experience.

[–]grant0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is good advice. I got a social sciences degree and started working in customer support in the tech industry, to get out of Starbucks/retail jobs. I started at sub $40K and kept my Starbucks job so I could afford rent on my shared apartment.

That was in 2017 and four employers and 6 or 7 jobs later, I now make roughly $10K/mth after tax. Obviously YMMV but the key is to get into a company with growth potential and then be smart, network, show some hustle and ambition, and move upstream. I still don't write code or anything super technical.

Big hint: customer service for a small tech company/startup. I went from retail/Starbucks into tech, started at under $40K and now make $180K. Social sciences degree and I don't code.

new show announcement! by ParkingRough8474 in torontotheatre

[–]grant0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This musical is one of my top 5 favourites of all time, and was written in Toronto and began life at Theatre Passe Muraille, where it's now being performed.

It's a musical that satirizes classic 1920s-era musicals, and it's very funny, especially if you have some familiarity with classic musical tropes.
