  • As bad as it sounds, it also seems like a system easily abused by corporations who provide these “health services” “for free” (think Telus telehealth or what’s it called etc) and it may be a terrible and poorly communicated attempt to crack down on it, as in… without providing a real alternative solution to those affected. The article rehashes stuff from their own past article and doesn’t really dig into anything too deep, GN are capable of doing better investigation than this lol

    Also can’t easily find any genuine information about Chek ownership, but their affiliation with YesTV is worrying and a red flag 🤔

  • Would be nice, but that’s a pipe dream for when Greens fight NDP for power and still probably end working together, so not this timeline.

    I walk wherever I can, hell if I’m bored enough I’ll walk for 2-3 hours to a shop and take a bus back, but the current state of transport and footpaths seriously limits my options and safety. That being said, there are times where I just wanna drive, enjoy music without something uncomfortable stuck in my ear or pressing on my ears, and go wherever I want. And I sure as fuck don’t think spending anything over 20k is worth that freedom unless I expect it to last 20 years minimum.

  • I’d rather drive a decent size hatchback (not “hot hatch”) or an estate/combo/touring/stationwagon/wtfyouwannacallit over any SUV.
    An A5 (hatchback/sportback) and Laguna hatchback were the two most convenient cars I’ve driven before coming to Canada and I couldn’t find a reasonably priced alternative, also they happened to be the most fuel efficient at the time despite their engines sizes, thanks to the type of fuel (it wouldn’t be the case now, so you know exactly what I’m talking about).
