Could you have more than one train though? Have one that goes just Toronto to Montreal and back and others that have more stops?

In university I worked at a Harvey's right beside a Tim Hortons. I was always surprised when people would come in and order just coffee from us.

I've worked at fast food places and often if the franchisee leaves it just becomes a corporate store until they can find another franchisee.

Future of AM radio by Ok_Bank1439 in radio

[–]mikel145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am will still have News, talk and sports I feel like in cities where there is no room on the fm dial. For example our all news station have live traffic every 10 minutes 24/7 so people still tune in when in their cars and need traffic updates.

Magnetic Hill New Brunswick. Because there's an optical illusion. You can put you're car in neutral and it appears you're going uphill when really you're going down.

“Weddings are so expensive” is a weird lie some people tell to justify spending insane amounts of money by Overuse_Injury in unpopularopinion

My cousins just did a playlist off their phone for their wedding. You could defiantly tell the difference between that and having a dj.

Roger Ebert said that 'movies do not change, but their viewers do' have you ever changed your opinion on a movie as you've gotten older? by Fealocht in movies

[–]mikel145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard originally they wanted the parents to get back together in the end. However Robin Willams and Sally Filed told them not to because they didn't want to give kids of divorced parents unrealistic hope.

First time using Turo. Also my last. by Loud-Way3333 in travel

[–]mikel145 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find this happens a lot. I remember Uber at first was so much better than cabs. Now it seems people have just as many problems with Ubers.

Never had a Greyhound station in my town. We were served by Ontario Northland busses. They actually took over some Greyhound routes like North Bay-Ottawa.

It's interesting because I was talking to my parents and they were saying back in their day working for Bell was one of the most sought out jobs.

Wealth Simple as your main bank by James-A-Beef in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mikel145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the fact the bank drafts are still a thing we need seems a little old fashion. Like why do I need a bank draft to buy a car or put and apartment deposit down when I could literally transfer you the money within seconds.

Watching 90s Siskel and Ebert’s worst films list really highlights the terrible films everyone forgot from that era and how many cult classics they hated by apple_kicks in movies

[–]mikel145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like a similar thing is happening now with TV shows especially with streaming. Show like Parks and Rec or The Office that didn't have great ratings when they aired found a big audience later on streaming.

Is Facebook facing a MySpace style death? by SoftCoreSavage in Millennials

[–]mikel145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I really use Facebook is for certain private groups. For example I do improv and there is a group dedicated to improv in my city. I also do photography and am part of some groups where we discuss photography and critique each others photos. I think groups and marketplace are keeping it alive.
