Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

apropos of nothing, someone (aka the condo board) thought scheduling in-suite renovations in 5 different suites on 5 different floors of this condo tower was a good idea, so i am. experiencing A Sensory Nightmare today, and have been since 9am so no one, like. start anything w/ me today, ok, i am not my best self. 🫠

my dad is considering paying his beloved 25 year old employee/emotional affair partner’s income taxes to make a problem go away. this is obviously not going over well with my mother. in fact it may get us the rest of the way to her leaving! so that’s a father’s day for the books

I know there's better puppers, but you're the only one that's mine.

heard someone say (irl) a while ago that a partial solution to the housing crises/young people generally being priced out of owning was to build more condos.

except here's the thing. i'm financially better off than most of the people in that group. im privileged enough to have savings. i could not afford even a 10% down payment for anything other than a shoebox, and once i moved in, i'd be hit hard by monthly hoa fees, because yes, most condos in the area are in hoa areas. i'd be lucky to get 1k sqft condo for the equivalent of what my dad bought his 2k/7k house for at the turn of the century.

here's the other thing. landlords love to buy up condos and rent them out because in most places in california, condos aren't subject to rent control. i know this because i rent a condo. also? owners also don't have to even worry about common area management because they put their property into the hands of a property management company who just pays the previously mentioned hoa fees.

so. idk i guess it could be temporarily good for temporary slapdash construction jobs but it just feels like an incredibly ineffective solution when, simultaneously, there are literally a large number of massive mansions sitting empty 10-11 months of the year because they're someone's summer home.

welp, i took a walk by the Proposed Land Use Change sign on the empty lot this morning and it looks like they not only want to build a tower on the vacant lot, but they also want to take out the giant public parking lot I park in (along with hundreds of other people, that lot is almost always full), which is going to make work so immeasurably worse because not only me but HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE will be searching for parking every morning. I already leave an hour before work to try and find a spot and now even that won't be enough.

A Memorable Journey to Bohol: Exploring Nature's Wonders and Cherishing Family Bonds (Blog)

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a delightful 3-day vacation to the beautiful island of Bohol with my family and relatives. It was an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, breathtaking sights, and quality time spent with loved ones.

On our second day, we embarked on a fascinating afternoon tour, starting with a visit to the oldest coral stone church. The rich history and serene atmosphere left a lasting impression on us. Next, we explored the enchanting butterfly farm, which not only showcased beautiful butterflies but also housed exotic birds🐦, crocodiles🐊, and even turkeys 🦃– a mix of unexpected yet delightful animal encounters. I had the chance to hold a snake 🐍, an experience I won't soon forget, and had my picture taken with it.

Stepping back in time amidst ancient beauty. Exploring the timeless charm of Bohol’s oldest coral stone church.

Me, holding a Danger Noodle 🐍

Our appetites were satisfied at the floating restaurant, where we relished delicious food while being serenaded by an incredibly talented singer. Her impeccable intonation and pronunciation added to the magical ambiance of the place.

One of the highlights of our tour was the Tarsier park, where we were mesmerized by the adorable and unique Tarsiers. Observing these tiny creatures up close was a real treat.

Look at those big beguiling eye 👀✨

Saving the best for last, we journeyed to the famous Chocolate Hills, passing through the majestic man-made forest on the way. The scenic view was a feast for the eyes and made the climb up the stairs well worth it. Although my mom and sister opted to wait for the family at the bottom, I couldn't resist the allure of the breathtaking landscape.

Me again 😎

Despite the minor setback with our condominium issue that evening, I chose to focus on the positive memories of the trip and not let it dampen the joy I experienced exploring Bohol's wonders.✨

Our last day had a slight hiccup with a flight delay, but it granted us the chance to discover a nearby resort with a wider beach and palm trees. The beauty of the place left us in awe once more.

I’m going back to this place again. ✨💕

However, not everything went as planned at the airport. I had to part with my laptop's extension cord, but the memories and experiences from the trip overshadowed this small inconvenience.

Overall, my journey to Bohol was nothing short of amazing. I felt invigorated and grateful for the chance to immerse myself in the island's natural beauty and enjoy precious moments with my family and relatives. Bohol has won a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories in the future.

Until next time,

Themis ⚖️
