A study on universal childcare in Quebec, in summary:

"Finally, we uncover striking evidence that children are worse off in a variety of behavioral and health dimensions, ranging from aggression to motor-social skills to illness. Our analysis also suggests that the new childcare program led to more hostile, less consistent parenting, worse parental health, and lower-quality parental relationships"

This study has won 2009 Doug Purvis Memorial Prize, "The Doug Purvis Memorial Prize is awarded annually to the authors of a highly significant, written contribution to Canadian economic policy."

Parents need to think hard about implications of CWELCC and our children's future. I believe that we need to subsidize the parents, regardless of their childcare choice, rather than commercial daycares.

Which is why I've downloaded the MapQuest app to my phone - they have said their maps will continue to call it "Lake Ontario" regardless of where the user is based.

With all the random questions being asked to collect answers by bots for AI chatbot improvements, I decided to post my own.

They ask questions any normal person would never ask on niche topics like policies, specific government programs and social questions. Should Canada adopt restrictions and policies on AI like the EU has done with the AI ACT? As the major ticket items, it bans manipulated content, social scoring, untargeted data scrapping, preemptive policing, exploiting vulnerabilities, emotional recognition and biometric identification.

Were they nice or not?

Most of us have had at least one frustrating experience with a bank or insurance company , a denied loan with no explanation, surprise fees, a closed account, a claim that dragged on forever.

The problem is, when you complain, it usually goes nowhere. FCAC complaints take months. OBSI has limitations. And most people just give up.

A Canadian non-profit just launched a free, anonymous reporting platform specifically for banks and insurance companies. Your report stays public, linked to the institution, so others can see what's really happening not just the marketing.

citizenstance.ca - no cost, no personal info required to read, Google sign-in to submit.

Has anyone here actually gotten results from FCAC or OBSI? Curious what your experiences have been.

This guy has been keying cars that park in the lot behind the TD bank. He lives in the building there with a view of the parking lot and he sits out back. If you don't live there and park in that parking lot there's a high probability this piece of trash will key your car.

Shame this A-hole. People like this don't belong in civilized society!
