  • I’d start with Internet. Actual Internet infrastructure, buy an actual independent party that’s not reliant on Robellus.

    Banking thats not directly reliant on the big 3.

    I understand, and appreciate the point and intent on the CRTC and the Canadian financial system protections. But the consumers get fucked as a result of them as well. At some point, the gates have to get opened here, somehow.

    Banks used to pay us interest. Now they soak us in fees, reporting billions in quarterly profits, under government protection (and let’s not kid ourselves, they are the government). Ditto for the communications system.


  • The Horizons are just literally too much, they are overwhelming. Yet at the same time, they start to feel repetitive, like there will be a few good speed challenges or a handful of races that are enjoyable. Other than that, there’s so much, yet it feels so dead.

    Forza Motorsports, the latest iteration was straight up trash. The online multiplayer has been wrecked by people that just outright cheat, like it’s so bad it’s blatantly obvious. You have no way of winning if you aren’t cheating, and most likely will end up in a pileup somewhere in the back because no one can drive. The story mode has been wrecked by a progression system that just literally makes no sense. It’s arguably a fairly attractive game to look at, but totally empty inside.







  • My answer would be no. I did that one time, to an entry level full suspension bike. Absolutely ate crow when it came time to sell, at the end of it all I was out a pile of money and the bike was still pretty mediocre. Save your money for a more complete package. This bike will still do you just fine for quite a while yet I imagine too.
