Canada Post is an entity that sustains itself solely by delivering direct marketing junk mail. As a Canadian citizen I would prefer to see it disappear entirely. If people need things physically sent to them they should rely on the private

It's a great place for this kind of startup. Startup Edmonton ( http://startupedmonton.com/ ) has done a great job of promoting Edmonton as a startup city and getting people involved. Lots of people leaving their cushy g

I can appreciate a carefully-placed curse word. But swears are like bolded words. Restrained use emphasizes a point, while overuse drowns the message. Dropping "fuck" every few sentences isn't offensive, it's boring. It indicates your unde
