Honestly as long as we don’t give in to the stupid military procurement crap(F35s, E7 Wedgetail, & Golden Dome) that was being floated I’m ok with the alcohol back on the shelves(alcohol is a dumb consumer good we can easily replace. Military hardware and contracts not so much). it costs us very little and can be re-implemented fast if that idiot plays dumb games. Let him strut around like some dumb peacock that got a big win while i refuse to buy it. If we can ship the oil south to keep Alberta placated with a bunch of new pipelines to busy themselves with that O&G Execs realize only get completed if the referendum fails, the referendum will get crushed and we can go back to focusing on electrification/EV’s/Transit for Canada as a whole and replacing our dumbass premier’s that have gotten cover from “Donny Dumbass”. Hopefully with everything else going so shittily for the him, he’ll be too distracted till after midterms that we can negotiate the rest of this horseshit away during CUSMA re-negotiations.

It seems like the transaction is free to us mostly because they are charging the merchant high premiums(which the merchant uses to jack up prices for everyone regardless of payment type). I agree on the overall charge levels being too high but If we got a larger number of overall transactions on the interac network I’m sure the prices would drop with volume. I look at what Brazil has done with there payment network and how much it’s annoyed the US, and it makes me think that they have a part of the solution there.

The Judges being unable to do any form of finance is BS. We need to accelerate konek and figure out if we can set up a company that works like Visa/Mastercard for credit based purchasing because interac/konek only work with your local bank or an associated Visa/Mastercard. If we could get our banks to set up some kind of thing like a line of credit they could hook up to konek in addition to regular bank accounts we’d have a useful all Canadian alternative.

I have never watched the show, I’ve seen a few Great british baking show episodes dotted around the internet though.

• How does it compare?
• Do I need to rewatch from season 1 to get things/jokes?
• Anything to keep in mind while I watch?
