Apple just convinced an entire community of content creators that 8GB of memory is acceptable for the right price. After a year of everyone praising Apple for making 16GB the default option.

The best reason for Canadians to wait until age 70 to collect Old Age Security (OAS) is if you live past 100+ years old. No other reason beats this.

IMO Private schools should not receive any government funding. If you prefer your children to attend private schools, pay for it yourself. You are taking away funds desperately needed in our public schools. Private “anything” should mean you pay out of pocket.

Former Goldman Sachs CEO tonight on EVs with Bill Maher: Bill: "Once you have one (EV) it seems barbaric to go to a gas station." Lloyd: "I want to get into a car, know I can drive 300 miles and don't have to have my fingers crossed that I can recharge it and don't have it take 2 hours." Bill: "Lloyd, mine goes 360 (miles)."

@WorkaholicDavid @jmwilt21 That's irrelevant. Nobody buys 8G Win laptops for 599. Those are 300-500. For 599, you got 16G RAM and 512G storage.

I think I'm a little less impressed with the new MacBook Neo than a lot of people are. The $600 model comes with 256gb. That's not enough for people buying a laptop to use for several years, especially students. So you upgrade to 512gb, but now the price is $700. Not terrible, but the kicker is that you still only get 8gb of ram. The A18 Pro is a fine chip. I believe it will give similar performance to M1, maybe slightly better even. But we all know 8gb ram MacBooks have not aged well. Even for the low price, we still need a level of future proofing that I don't think is happening here. Makes much more sense to catch an M4, M3, or even M2 MacBook Air on sale for a similar price with 16gb ram. I think if Apple simply put 12 or 16gb of ram it would have made a lot more sense.

Public utilities and assets should never, ever be sold to private companies. Biggest case-in-point in Ontario: Highway 407 - billions in tolls collected by a private company, instead of the Government of Ontario, where it could have been used to fund many public programs.

England is the only country apart from Chile where water is owned by private companies for profit. Don't let Canada become the third!

@LukeMontalbano I have a theory that, for a number of reasons, the equipment cost differential most of all, Canadian parents are putting their kids in soccer leagues instead.

It’s becoming unaffordable for the average Canadian family. New skates alone cost hundreds of dollars added to all the other equipment and fees, which is making hockey a sport for the rich when it instead should be the great Canadian equalizer.

Unpopular opinion: Paying $2,400 a month in rent is better than paying for a $600,000 mortgage, maintenance, insurance, property tax, landscaping and capital expenditures. It’s not even close.

Young people in Ontario are already stretched thin and Doug Ford is making it worse. He’s lifting the tuition freeze and cutting OSAP grants, forcing students to borrow more just to finish school. You can’t build a strong economy on a generation buried in debt. Take action at SaveOSAP.ca and join the thousands of Ontarians telling Doug Ford to reverse the cuts.

People should 100% be paid for their commute to work. Getting to work is part of the job. If you're going to force people to come to the office they should be compensated for it.
Ernie Murphy@YerShitinMe

@SamHersh01 For work from home to be fair and equitable, their should be a pay reduction for stay homers, or an increase for Remainers; Childcare, transport costs etc. Also immediate dismissal, if found with more than one work from home gig.

“The most vulnerable are going to be taken care of,” says Premier Ford, the day after defending cuts to OSAP grants. “I don’t believe in giving money to families that are making $250K/yr.” (To qualify for OSAP you must prove financial need, based on income/program cost).
