Good idea. I’ll do that next time. Thx!

Have you used the Apple App Store recently? It’s a cesspool of apps using dark patterns, gaming the rankings, stuffing keywords, tricking users who meant to install something else. Everything is “free” but needs “in-app purchases” to unlock the functionality that is implied. Apple is no longer protecting the user here.

Good to know. Thanks for this info. I’ll be watching this more closely.

I’m in BC and have accounts with several credit unions. My impression is that they are less consolidated than this, however now I’m not so sure. One of them (Prospera) did a merger last year. Their CEO has a total compensation of $921k. VanCity CU’s CEO total compensation is $1.1M. Blueshore CU was the hardest to find (latest numbers are from 2023 when a CEO retired a new one joined) but it appears to be about $750k.

This is a fascinating and thrilling interview. Thanks for posting!

If you have specific examples or sources I would be very interested to read up on this. Thanks!

It’s unclear why the council — which did not respond to an interview request — thinks the other provinces have something to do with the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation.

Love this sarcastic tone in the CBC article. 😁

I’m pleased to learn about Uber drivers in Victoria successfully unionizing. My impression is that Uber is among the most exploitive platforms in the “service economy” so this is encouraging news. Hopefully they can expand the union to cover Vancouver and then all of BC.

Use a credit union if you can. Invest in your community.

Thanks for posting this. It’s such an obviously good idea. I’ve just emailed my MP to lodge my support.

Yes
