Honestly, all the brands under Loblaws and Sobeys should be split up again. Consolidation of markets to this point is wrong.

We need to do this with tons of industries, but especially gas stations too. Phone carriers, internet, etc. need real competition, and 3-5 companies isn't sufficient.

Why isn't it a requirement that all sub-companies don't have to have the parent company name somewhere on their store and advertisements?

Like, instead of just "No Frills" on the store it should be required to say "Loblaw's No Frills" or soemthing so it's more obvious where your money is going.

Alexander believes the premier’s plan could have the opposite effect, potentially triggering more court cases from First Nations and thereby creating more uncertainty for resource extraction and other industries in the long run, while also damaging the province’s relationship with First Nations.

“People have very fragile trust in the government of the day, but when they so intentionally change legislation to ensure that there’s no objective party reviewing how they perform reconciliation, it seems very insidious.”

This year, B.C. passed legislation to fast-track the North Coast transmission line, renewable energy projects and yet-to-be-defined “provincially significant projects.” The B.C. government admitted it had not fulfilled its consultation obligations before introducing the legislation, which many First Nations forcefully criticized.

• ZorinOS (especially for Windows users)
• LinuxMint (especially for Windows users)
• Fedora (if users want something radically different than Windows or macOS, it's closer to macOS than Windows tho)
• Bazzite (Fedora-based atomic distro, if most of usage is gaming)

Anything with Cinnamon Desktop or KDE Plasma is going to be the most 'Windows-like' in how the UI works.

If they're coming from Windows, but they prefer macOS-like interfaces, GNOME or COSMIC fit that bill.

It doesn't matter what distro you select, for the most part, as Linux is Linux. The only differences are immutable or not, desktop environment, and package management type, for the most part.

That said, Mint, an Ubuntu flavor, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE......all good options.

I remember, surprisingly, wondering wtf.
"It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.

The 'Fluorescent' theme was also pretty ugly, but it didn't have a catchy name, so I've never heard anything about it."

The article doesn't really explain why except "maybe someone would like it" but I think the real answer was CGA. CGA was a predecessor color technology to VGA with a different 8 bit color space. So if you took a color scheme for CGA and rendered it on VGA you'd end up with a really garish scene.

When I was a kid I had a DOS game that I played the hell out of. I ended up ruining the disk, and stupidly didn't have a backup, but the box included a CGA version of the game. It played just fine on my computer except that the colors were trippy on my VGA monitor.

I think the bigger question mark from me, is just.... why are our taxes sending MP delegations of like 30 MPs + staff off to Israel?

Feels like a waste of money to me. We can see with relative certainty the conditions there, based on reports from EU sources and the UN. At this point, they're not tending to 'pretend' its all good. Like these aren't even majority-party MPs, but minority parties with very little say in the house, who represent ridings that have almost nothing tying them to Israel. Businesses/the economy is sputtering back at home guys, maybe spend some more of your focus there.
