That's the point its called a deterrent
Shop around for a better rate? Most of the offerings from big banks are literal trash like .01% or something.
Wealthsimple is Canadian for example and has a few % on their base savings account, goes up with amount in the account. It was up around 4% before the fed bank rate got cut multiple times. Every time the BoC cut the bank rate they cut the interest on their savings acc a proportional amount but atleast you still get like 30x what big banks give.
You can afford cat food? My cat's high fiber food (needed for gut issues unfortunately) went from $55 CAD before COVID to $130 CAD per bag.
Lol so they go with the US big tech offering (Microsoft)...?
Did they not catch the memo from the EU, we should be moving to sovereign digital services hosted by Canada in Canada.
I don't know enough about the why but I think it comes down to licensing incompatibility but it sure would be nice if someone who knows how this shit works could get the publicly available Canadian address data into OSM at minimum.
I'm in the same boat where a solid 90% of the time I search for a street address its not in OSM regardless of which Canadian city I'm in. Sometimes its able to find a block number on a street but not the individual address so atleast that gets me on the right side of town most of the time 🤦♂️
Business name searching seems to have improved for me a few updates ago and it atleast finds business names that have already been added by someone most of the time as it should. Sometimes it shows a business name on the map but it doesn't find it and I can't click on it to select it.
I wanted to double check before recommending them cause I wasn't sure if they were vegan or not, seems to me they don't list any non-vegan ingredients, BUT it does say it MAY CONTAIN crustaceans and fish at the end. So could be wrapped in the "spice" ingredient, but I'd think stuff like that would be listed separately for allergies. Or perhaps only included in other flavours made in the same plant? Like obviously a shrimp flavour would probably have them?
ANYWAYS, dropping it as a not-perfect rec but atleast something.
Indo Mie Mi Goreng noodles. Absolutely delicious and made in Indonesia. Available at a lot of major grocery chains, not just specialty ones. The pack I'm looking at is BBQ chicken flavour, but it is artificial chicken flavour. So vegan but not clean at all really. All their stuff is top notch taste though, comes with powder mix, crunchy onions or something, and then 3 different liquid sauce packs in it to mix and match.
Unfortunately NOT clean ingredients IMO, just standard instant noodle health benefits lol. And has refined palm oil in some of the sauces to boot :( now that I see the palm oil I think I may look for a new favourite too.

Annnd done with that article 🙄
So far, the developers have voted on the project’s name, chosen a new color scheme for branding, removed the Kayak affiliate links carried over from Organic Maps, and started moving away from several Google services.
Oof I had no idea Organic Maps was going to shit. I never really got on with Organic Maps anyways and ended up preferring OSMAnd~ after getting it figured out.
May check out coMaps once they've had a few updates to get their feet situated and see what they would do differently.
How could their market be that large there when no one believes in vaccines in the states lol
"Sustainable" and "Mining" are contradictory terms. No such thing.
Its a term used to greenwash damaging industries.
Many of CO-OP's house brand products including their toilet paper and paper towels are Made in Canada.
Western Family paper products seem to be as well, although I prefer co-op gold for this application.
Not sure if any other house brands are as well? FRANK stuff at Canadiantire is good quality but I don't have any to check the place of manufacture.
They've been digging since 2004... how is nuclear energy profitable at all when accounting for the disposal lol.
