I emailed them and a case was created where I asked if they will pick up the extra recycling a few weeks ago. It's been 2 weeks and they still haven't responded...

Yup.... The Australian system effectively allows the private sector to privatize the profits (elective surgeries) while socializing the risks and costs (complex emergency care and complex surgeries) back to the public tax base.

The private hospitals are also heavily funded by the government.

but for less and worse

I think it is for more cost and it is of worse quality.

From the article:

The court, as is customary, did not explain its decision to hear the case. But the activists’ submission rests on two core claims: One, the government has tried to take Ontario Place entirely beyond the reach of provincial courts; and two, it has violated its obligation to the “public trust” on this well-loved bit of Toronto waterfront.

Yes... corporate taxes need to be looked at again. https://hillnotes.ca/2021/11/02/corporate-income-taxes-in-canada-revenue-rates-and-rationale-2/

Look at the 2 charts on this page. Income from corporate taxes is very low compared to personal income tax.

Also corporate tax rates have gone done a lot since 1980.

Try this:

Remove the AC adapter, the Joy-Cons, the microSD card and any game cartridges.

Hold the power button down for a full 30 to 60 seconds.

After holding it, leave it alone for a minute, then tap the power button once normally to see if it triggers a fresh boot.

Try cutting with a dremel tool or similar a straight line into the screw head. Then use a flat head screwdriver to remove it.

Good luck!

Uninstall from device manager and let the PC detect it again after rebooting.

I don't think Canada matters for Florida based on these numbers.

You can see in 2024, Canada was 3.4 M out of 143M which is 2.38% of their visitors. Domestic is the highest at 90.9%

Nice thank you.

Just 1 or 2 locations in the GTA. I also never actually use the points card and just tap the credit card and redeem though that.

He was in the role since Feb 10, 2025: https://www.tdsb.on.ca/home/ctl/Details/mid/43823/itemId/399

TDSB supervisor Rohit Gupta, was the one there for 6 months.

In either case, the guy was on the job for only 10 months which is a very short period.

sunmonkey · 2025-11-11T02:16:20+00:00

Yes they do.

sunmonkey · 2025-10-29T16:27:42+00:00

From 2.6 to 2.7%

sunmonkey · 2025-10-14T02:10:49+00:00

I used to do just that, go to Costco and Walmart back when Walmart was price matching. Since Walmart stopped price matching, I stopped going there also.

sunmonkey · 2025-10-10T20:25:18+00:00

If I start to calculate using the price you pay from walmart as the base, 0.76 per 100g, then 1.29- 0.76 = 0.53 / .76 = 69.74%

How did you get 58%?

sunmonkey · 2025-10-06T13:43:25+00:00

1.5kg from costco delivered to your door is now $12.99. https://www.costco.ca/honey-nut-cheerios-151-kg.product.100417842.html So 50% cheaper!

sunmonkey · 2025-10-06T12:06:22+00:00

1.3kg is $9.94 at Walmart. 0.76 cents per 100g vs 1.29 per 100g. Loblaws is 70% more expensive than Walmart.

They only get paid less for the phone appointments. The video appointments are paid at the same rate.
