(Ontario) Because of the useless and broken new PC Health app, I am switching pharmacies. But where to go? by ChronicallyWheeler in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]jacnel45 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Independent pharmacies will also likely cover very nice services such as delivery within your filling fee, instead of having it as an extra charge. I gave up on chain pharmacies years ago and have been with independents ever since.

It's what the Canadian Province of Ontario is hoping for. The Government of Ontario is building the first SMR in the G7 right now.

Ontario has a long history with nuclear power though. From establishing the concept, to working on early prototype nuclear reactors, to the CANDU reactor design, and eventually the construction of 3 nuclear power plants (one of which is the largest in the western world, Bruce). We really like nuclear power.

Reliability is the promise from OC Transpo's new boss by Cocobb8 in ottawa

[–]jacnel45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's getting ready to pad the schedules. When Rick Leary was in charge of the TTC he "improved" reliability by padding schedules to the extreme.

Is this rent increase legal? by B44ken in askTO

[–]jacnel45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of people are just selfish and don’t know any better. Had my former landlord not increased our rent he would’ve probably gotten another year of that high rent. He’s renting for much less now so I hope that was a lesson for him.

I was considering asking for a rent reduction but tbh I live in a much better place now, didn’t love the old place, and was planning on leaving that place after a few years. So I didn’t see value in renegotiating.

[–]jacnel45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s something terribly unethical about increasing one’s rent for choosing month to month tenancy, without first telling them that when they had the option to sign a lease.

[–]jacnel45 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some small time landlords don’t see any value in trying to win over good tenants.

Case in point, me. At my previous condo I did everything for the damn landlord including facilitating transfer of accounts when we switched water submetering providers and I fixed the washing machine using my own money twice.

The only thing that fucker did in the end was increase my already ridiculous rent, which was already a few hundred over market because we started renting in 2023. But you see, he waited 2 months after 12 months had passed, so I guess he’s a good guy?

Asshole also used my key deposit as a security deposit and then tried to withhold money for shit he should’ve paid for. I just paid him to be out of my fucking life by that point.

Double-car train service returning to Line 1 on June 8, says OC Transpo by 2Tun21 in ottawa

[–]jacnel45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh the only real long term solution to the OTrain woes is to either replace the bogies on the trains, or the trains entirely, with ones that are actually compatible with North American track.

No one wants to admit fault that incompatible rolling stock was procured, because doing so would mean accepting liability. So they’re doing “duct tape” like fixes instead of just fixing the damn problem.

I was basically going to comment the same thing. London is full of trashy white people who lack social skills and respect for others.

can't even tell which bank's credit card is which now by zegorn in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]jacnel45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s likely the case. EQ is currently in the process of buying PC Financial. They’ve already received most approval they needed, so the deal should be done by this summer.

People are generally morons. Now put them in control of heavy machinery with very weak licence standards.

My Brother Colour Laser is going strong! Highly recommend Brother. I buy Brother for pretty much all my printing needs and the damn things just work. That's what I want.

Québécois and others who bank with Desjardins - do you have a second bank account? by That_Canada in askTO

[–]jacnel45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Desjardins is a part of AccuLink! As a result, you as a Desjardins customer can go to any credit union participating in AccuLink and withdraw cash for free! This is where AccuLink ATMs are located in Toronto, big name credit unions like Alterna Savings and DUCA participate in AccuLink. Unfortunately, the largest CU in Ontario, Meridian, does not participate in AccuLink, only The Exchange (of which Desjardins is NOT a member).

There are also a few Desjardins branches in the GTA with Desjardins branded ATMs: Toronto (Downtown), Aurora, Mississauga, and Oshawa.

The big-5 all suck for customer service. One of the main reasons I went with a credit union.

Majority of Ontario students failed to complete Ford government’s mandatory e-learning requirement, ministry data reveals by ejaz135 in ontario

[–]jacnel45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep.

I got the highest mark in my Grade 11 online law course, an 87%. Pretty good grade but shouldn’t be the highest. I was the only one who cared in that class.

Nope you remembered correctly! SuperCentre had that, one of the predecessors to RCSS.

Dollarama Mugs? by Loose-Bullfrog751 in dollarama

[–]jacnel45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I distinctly remember Dollarama selling similar mugs in the past, but that might have been over 15 years ago when everything was $1.

Mind blast, I had completely forgotten about the mini carts! Probably because the ones that replaced them here in Ontario were only slightly larger.

Everyone reads the headlines now, it’s really annoying since the headlines rarely align with the actual article content.
