I wrote this article for the Montreal Gazette a few months ago and I think it might be a good idea to share it here. If a few more people freeze their credit files and they avoid a potential id theft disaster in the future, that’s good enough for me....
Honestly, no idea. I just froze mine and haven’t requested anything since. I guess the worst that will happen is that your request will get rejected because your credit is frozen and you’ll have to unfreeze it (you can do that only for N days / weeks, so you don’t have to re-freeze) and request your CC again.
As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization’s own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.
I got a Nook in 2011 and it was my main reader device until it died a few months ago. I replaced it with a Kobo and I’m quite happy. Having backlight is a huge improvement.
The expected rise in Canada’s population is likely to make the country’s limited housing supply worse – and ultimately lead to even higher home prices, a report by Zoocasa forecasted.
I’m originally from Spain. I know very well these messages from our bubble (which exploded --sort of-- around 2007 - 2008). “House prices can only go up because X”.
Then, for whatever reason, Y happens, and it turns out that Y >> X.
I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I’m not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.
I don’t typically give up. I mostly read non-fiction, so I always wait to see if there’s something for me past page 200.
I gave up on “Foucault’s Pendulum”. I started it as a teenager and obviously it was way above my league. I still want to pick it up again at some point in the future.
I also passed on “Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism”, because I couldn’t even understand the introduction.
