It’s so that when Canadians go on vacation in the USA, they spend some of the funds they would inevitably spend in the USA on alcohol at duty free (in Canada) before going.

Canada Post loses hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Should it move to one to two days per week mail delivery?

Already don’t deliver on Friday the past 5 years and mostly junk mail anyways. Canada Post is the only corporation that can operate on a business model where they continually provide less service and worse service while raising prices and demanding higher wages for employees with no education or skills. Then they hold us hostage while they play politics over the holidays every few years to tenegotiate their already extremely generous contracts. Did you know postal workers get their birthday off as part of their contract.
In recent years they have carriers delivering junk mail (flyers) which used to be employment for paper boys/girls. I used to get 1/2 a cent per flyer (and had to stuff them in the papers) when I deliver Sault This week when I was 10 years old. This isn’t employment for a grown adult, or for the Canadian taxpayer to subsidize. Privatize it and let competition improve services and prices.

i am very sad to hear that Mr. Dovigi (Fred) passes away and would like to extend my condolences to the family. Mr. Dovigi was one of my favourite teachers at Korah and a family friend. He really seemed to care about ALL of his students, and tried to engage them in different ways depending on what they needed. He was always very candid and taught us a lot of life lessons, not just the curriculum requirements. We stayed in touch after I left the Soo and he was always very supportive of me in all of my endeavours. He will be missed greatly!

I’ve got mine twice before and got sick within the week. I don’t get it and don’t get sick.

For some reason the report doesn't compare apples to apples. What about the internet speed for people living in rural northern Ontario? Why is it being touted as a good thing to have internet speeds in northern Ontario cities that are marginally better than rural areas in southern Ontario. The fact remains that internet speed, prices and limits for rural northern Ontario, where high quality (or at least adequate) internet is arguably more important for access to education, e-commerce, virtual medical consultations etc is lacking.

Nice to see a young Saultite starting up this kind of business in Sault Ste. Marie! I've done this a few times at Immerse Spa in Kingston and it is great! Very relaxing and good for chronic pain since it's not just "anti-gravity", but your skin absorbs magnesium topically which is supposed to be very effective. The concept is basically the same as when people used to travel to the Dead Sea (which has the highest salinity of the worlds oceans and seas) in the Mediterranean for it's healing properties. People thought it was a miracle but not there is science backing it up, not just placebo effect.
