Credit card customers beware

Fun story: I bought a flight through eSky back in December 2025 by accident. Thought eSky website was the actual airline’s website because I was dumb and not paying attention, then found out about eSky’s horrible reputation. I asked for a refund ONE hour after purchasing the ticket. ESky denied me, which goes against EU law and their own terms and conditions (you have 24 hours to get a full refund) so I opened a dispute with Wealthsimple.

Five months and hours of back and forth later, I’m not getting the refund. The extra fun part was that WS’s cc dispute partner company, i2C, sent me the documents eSky used to defend their refund denial. Just inconsistencies and contradictions everywhere, which I highlighted and sent back to WS/i2C after they denied the claim the first time. No luck. Extremely disappointing. Generation status is useless lol.

I would probably never use this card for bigger purchases again.

My MIL accidentally passed a school bus with its arms out / red lights on — it was on a highway and by the time she was aware of the bus, she was already passing it and unable to slow down in time. She felt awful about not seeing it in time and scanning the roads better.

Anyway OPP paid her a visit and said something about (maybe?) appearing in court before a JP. But It was all very vague... lots of maybes and it's causing some anxiety. She's prepared to most likely be convicted and to take the demerits/fine, but has anyone gone through this? What would she have to do in court? Would the JP potentially reduce the penalty? This is a first offence, but not sure if that matters. Any anecdotes or experiences would be helpful.

Have seen conflicting advice on YouTube and Reddit. But started noticing some orange flecks near the bottom of our car, and was going to use Korrosol. Thing is, not sure if it's enough to just spray with water after or if I should use a lubed-up clay towel to agitate before washing off or if that would introduce marring. Which way do you do it?

Hoping to remove some light scratches with Meguiars Scratch X afterward.
