BMO uses virtual agents that impersonate humans in Canada to follow up on credit card promotions. I’ll give them credit for being realistic, I’d have fallen for it, except what I do for a living. I test them by saying: “The maze isn’t mea

Trudeau is subsidizing most of Canadian media. Who knows what Pierre will do, but I’ll take a bet that it could be a cost saving measure to stop handouts to ‘fake news’ MSM. Justin seems to be aiming for a supernova exit… https:/&#x2
