I’ve been working there a long time, there are valid complaints, but poor work culture isn’t one I’ve normally heard. Of course it depends a lot on the specific manager, so I won’t deny specific anecdotal experiences. But generally I’d say the work culture is quite healthy.
About one out of every five home loans at three big Canadian banks are now negatively amortizing, which happens when years get added to the payment term of the original loan because the monthly payments are no longer enough to cover anything but the interest.
In addition to comparing against cost of rentals, there’s also opportunity cost with investing. If someone has a mortgage averaging 3-6%, and invests at 5-10%… that’s a great strategy. Why wouldn’t you push the amortization as long as possible?
I paid for no-ads Reddit back in the day but when I tried to transfer purchases nothing happened. Is this intentional? $30 seems steep for no ads but I’m a cheap bastard....
I dislike the narrative that the problems with Canada stem from the states. We export a huge amount of fascists and bigots per capita. These people live among us and it would be a mistake to brush them off as America’s influence.

I believe it’s just as simple as the quantity of users, and has nothing to do with federated or not.
I live in Ontario and Quebec was undergoing a referendum to leave Canada when I was a kid. I asked my Dad if Canada would still be the second biggest country if Quebec left.
He was impressed by the insightful question, but in reality I thought Quebec was just the tiny town where my Grandma lived.
Protip, if you ask someone a question, and then follow that up with “Or am I insane?”. You’re heavily implying that they in fact are the ones who are insane.
Maybe you legitimately didn’t know that. In case you didn’t, now you know.

President Joe Biden said Friday that he is planning to request more money from Congress to develop another new coronavirus vaccine, as scientists track new waves and hospitalizations rise, though not like before
I think they might actually be partisan. After I took the Trump vaccine I felt significantly more right wing. Looking forward to this new Biden vaccine so I can get back to my normal political views.
But in case you didn’t know first responders are trained to look for these and adjust accordingly. That’s why we have one up, nothing to do with cautious driving.

Do your institutions send alerts with data in a consumable format? I’m in Canada, land of the shitty bank software and it seems I can only get PDFs from most places. I have one that doesn’t even let you download transactions outside of the monthly statement :(
