I'm not sure what you mean by "legitimate," but I'm in a bit of a grocery desert that's only served by the big players. But there are loads of corner stores and convenience stores in the city.

 

McKay filed a complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services, an independent organization that helps customers in Canada resolve complaints related to internet and television services. Rogers replied to that complaint in an email, saying McKay didn't have the authority to dispute the account because it wasn't hers.

"The complainant has expressly confirmed that they are not the account holder and are therefore not authorized to submit a complaint on behalf of the account holder," it said.

McKay said that when she tried to dispute her debt with Equifax, one of Canada's largest credit-rating agencies, Rogers told them the account is legitimate and that the debt is hers.

"So, on one hand … they're telling me I don't have any authority to complain about how this is being handled or about the fact that I'm being held responsible for something," she said.

You already said "while true" - you don't need to be the embodiment of "it's all getting soured."

 

When questioned Wednesday, Kinew didn't clearly state why government is making the distinction between grocery stores and other food retailers, like convenience stores or mom-and-pop shops.

Locations that are less than 280 square meters in size, are licensed to sell tobacco products and are located in a city will not benefit from PST relief. The tax will continue to be applied at vending machines and restaurants, including takeout food.

Okay, so why derail the conversation away from the actual topic?

This article really isn't about DW, though - which is why I shared it here, and not in the DW community - it's more about...gestures broadly at the entire internet

It’s arguably only Prodigy that has faced a similarly unfortunate fate

This is certainly true by the standards laid out, but I'm struck by the fact that the only new series that was more-or-less free of studio fuckery was Picard (which certainly had its own issues).

I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he's 95 years old, and can't be expected to be fully "in touch," and (b) has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.

You get double coverage that way.

I would never disrespect Bill Watterson like that.

Ooh divisive!

I had a lot of fun with this one. It's definitely light and breezy, but I connected with it in a way that I did not with Godzilla '14.

Well, he's certainly in a better position to know than any of us in the peanut gallery.

Let's hope they get it over with and make an announcement sooner, rather than later.

No doubt - I'd rather have a law like this on the books than not.

But I hate under-enforced laws that are so troublesome to seek justice for that most people don't bother.
