Maybe rescind the $7M Staples deal?

I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this, but I’ve been noticing lately that 95% of my ads are for online gambling apps. Lately Hard Rock Casino is getting pushed on me relentlessly.
I don’t gamble. I’ve never looked up gambling apps or gambling websites.
I also find it concerning how so many people are struggling right now and this is what we are getting fed when we are online. “I know you are hurting with bills and grapes that cost $13, how about you download this app and risk losing more money or get into debt”

I live in the GTA and just got my auto insurance renewal. The premium jumped up significantly out of nowhere. Clean driving record, zero tickets, zero claims, and I’ve been with the same company for years.

I understand the industry is dealing with higher costs right now—vehicle replacement is more expensive, auto parts are up, and the weaker Canadian dollar makes importing computer chips, sensors, and replacement parts way more costly.

But what really gets me is how the recent July policy changes are playing out. They pushed this "unbundled" à la carte system, which was sold politically as a way to give people choices and "save drivers money." In reality, it feels like the classic illusion of savings. The default premium hasn't dropped. You end up paying the exact same (or more) for bare-bones basic coverage, and if you actually want the income replacement or accident protections you used to get as standard, you have to pay extra.

It feels like the insurance companies are passing all their macroeconomic problems onto us, winning on both ends, while we get stripped-down policies for the same price.

Is anyone else in the GTA seeing a big price jump on their renewal this round despite a clean record?

Also, if anyone can recommend a solid independent broker in the GTA who actually shops around across multiple carriers instead of just pushing one, I’d really appreciate the contact info!

Husband was getting great 407 offers since April. Minimum spend $20-$100 type offers.

All of a sudden his offer for September is to spend $680 min to get unlimited.

What's up with the stark increase?

Is this "typical" as per some algorithm?

Horrified and embarrassed American here. I like to wear my civic protest, and I'd like to support a Canadian business. I've googled but I can't seem to find anything that seems definitely made in Canada and also says Lake Ontario. I'm probably looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is too ill to post this.

My friend is in dire need of a new liver by the end if this week or early next week. We thought he had more time but his health has taken a turn for the worst.

He has Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). This has absolutely destroyed his liver and he needs a new one from a living donor.

Blood type: O+ preferred but O- is also an option

Located in Toronto.
If you know anyone who is willing or you yourself are willing please reach out.

We are also able to do a paired exchange please let us know what you are looking for.

Thank you.

Apple has sold out Canada very quickly!
It has been and always should be Lake Ontario.
Our Canadian business & values appear to be irrelevant to Apple.😢😠
Shameful to proud Canadians.👿🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦💪
It’s just not right!😢

Canadians…Lake Ontario is now Lake America on Apple Maps-Delete Apple Maps!!

I noticed that there are a lot less small town Ontario subreddits than there used to be. Usually small subreddits get banned for being unmoderated because the 1-2 mods in them don't check as often as they don't need to, but that results in them getting banned. I don't think this is fair to the small town Redditors who used to have their own subreddits. I remember when this subreddit used to be used for small town Ontarians but then a lot of small towns got their own distinct subreddits. That's mostly gone now but I want to bring these communities back.

The only one that I'm aware of so far that is gone is the Shelburne Ontario subreddit but if anyone else can find small town subreddits that are banned for lack of moderation, please comment below so we can compile a list and get them unbanned.

Hi looking at moving north from the KW area to somewhere like New Liskeard, Temagami, etc.
I want to hear from people who live there - what’s it like??
I have two kids aged 12 and 9, both play hockey, baseball and soccer. My daughter plays soccer at the rep level here. Are there the same types of opportunities up there? I’m sure hockey is a given anywhere.
What’s the situation for drs, vets, dentists etc. I hear depending on where you go it can be long waits etc. ( no different than here really!)
I’m mostly concerned about what it’s like for kids - particularly teenagers. My kids are currently in sports every damn day here, too busy to get into trouble! But want to maybe slow down and enjoy life a bit!
