Someone entered my car and stole some stuffs, and sometimes I can't lock my car remotely. I have heard rumor about technology that jams the car key signal. Is that kind of technology common in Windsor?
Looks like this thunderstorm is pretty powerful
Is this salary range common in the GTA region?
Young Canadians are facing a chicken and egg question: they need jobs to gain experience & connections, but they need experience & connections to get jobs. Considering what is happening in the nation, are young Canadian facing the most difficult job market in Canada's history?
Canada's financial sector, energy sector, telecom sector, and retail sector are all dominated by a couple of big corporations, so these big players can dictate wages and terminate people without worrying about adding competition. It makes sense to have a concentrated market when the population is small due to management efficiency, but as Canada's population has grown rapidly in the last decade, a concentrated market can be a huge roadblock to an innovative economy. But due to these big player's influence in Canada, will governments actually do anything to increase competition?
This was my first time attending this event, I was amazed by the popularity of dragon boat in London!
I am a Windsor resident and I learned that the Canadian side is ready for the opening, and many people blame the US president and the Moroun family for the delay. I'm unfamiliar with American laws, so I want to ask what exact power does the president have to delay the opening, and whether he can delay the opening until he finishes his presidential term.
Where are people watching this historic event？
