  • They can, but no. Lots of single family homes burn to the ground with very minor damage to their neighbours (unless attached. Even then its smoke damage)

    So if you need me to qualify my wishful thinking that a shit bag landlord would lose their rental home to a fire, thus fulfilling the karma due to them for overcharging after a terrible fire:

    “I hope their house burns down in a safe and contained manner, not during any other heavy wind or nearby fires, while noone is home, and the fire fighters have had time off and are happy to be back on the job, but sadly didn’t get there before everything was completely ruined.”

    “Also their insurance doesn’t cover fire.”

    Hope that helps.








  • And some funding holy shit. Back when Harper was ruining it all I could think was “he’s starving her and then is gonna pull out the shot gun and frown… Poor old girl needs to be put down, she’s so sick.” I can’t believe it’s still doing as well as it is after all that…

    Every penny we spend at the CBC creates jobs for both creatives and technicians, and creates Canadian content that we can all enjoy and show the world. Also news, actual, reasonably down the middle, factual news.

    Every penny of my taxes that goes to the CBC is well spent.




  • Lol.

    This reminds me of a story my mom told me over the holidays about buying a fancy sweater at Sears one fall. By mid winter the zipper had broken and she went back to Sears but they didn’t have a replacement, and she didn’t want a refund. They eventually agreed to have her take it to the tailor in the mall for them to replace it, and they would cover the receipt. She did and they did.

    Blew my mind. If I honestly thought I could contact Maytag or Bosch and actually get someone on the phone to send me a replacement knob, I might bother. But I’ve moved past “try to contact the company with a reasonable concern” a long time ago. Which is what they hope for and why they make it time consuming and pointless. I’ll take the path of least resistance.

    If home Depot goes out of business because of all the stolen knobs, I’ll cry myself into Rona every day (I mean that, I hate Rona and I use HD daily)



  • I understand we aren’t accustomed to holding corporations responsible for theft but let me pretend:

    How about you take the info from the investigation, and apply it across the board. If a single inspector can find and prove that the meat they bought was overpriced by 8%, take Loblaws net profits from meat and fine them say half of that, 4%. They shouldn’t even complain as they never meant to overcharge, so this is just returning the money they stole.

    It’s insane because they seem to be admitting in the article that large quantities (“small” numbers of their stores mind you…) have been sold so they have stolen money in their coffers. Did they return that money? To whom? How?
