PSA regarding FHSA

To maximize your 2023 tax savings with an FHSA, remember to make your contributions before December 31st. Unlike RRSPs, there's no option to carry over the first 60 days of 2024 contributions.

Additionally, if you're planning to contribute but lack the funds this year, consider opening an account and depositing a nominal amount, like $100. This strategic move will increase your carry forward room for next year to $7,900, which can be added to your regular $8,000 contribution limit, granting you a total of $15,900 available for contributions. Failing to do this could limit your next year's maximum contribution to just $8,000. Don't miss out on these opportunities!

nationalpost.com Rogers in court seeking higher rates for Quebecor months after Shaw takeover promised lower costs

Rogers is fighting MVNO rate it was ordered to give Quebecor, after the Rogers-Shaw merger was premised on promises of Quebecor competition

Rogers in court seeking higher rates for Quebecor months after Shaw takeover promised lower costs

'The chickens are coming home to roost' after $26-billion acquisition of Shaw by Rogers received final approval earlier this year. In July, the CRTC set the “mobile virtual network operator” (MVNO) rates Quebecor will pay Rogers to use Rogers’ cellular network. The regulator chose Quebecor’s rate in final-offer arbitration. With the rates set, Quebecor was expected to start offering cellphone service in more areas across the country.

Rogers is now fighting those rates, having filed an appeal of the CRTC’s decision in the Federal Court of Appeal on Aug. 23.

Rogers had assured both the government and Quebecor the rate the CRTC set in arbitration “would be binding and final. It would set the rate once and for all.”

“Now that the transaction has taken place and the necessary approvals have been obtained, Rogers is patently acting in bad faith by refusing to accept the decision,”

  • Wash your imported produce to avoid cyclospora infection amid spike, says BCCDC

    "Cyclospora infection can occur due to eating contaminated, imported raw produce, especially leafy greens, fresh herbs and berries. Locally-grown produce is not known to carry Cyclospora," the BCCDC said in a release.

    The parasite is commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas, including Peru, Cuba, India, Nepal, Mexico, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, and Southeast Asia.

    Symptoms of the illness can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Some people also experience a fever.

    "One thing of note is that the diarrhea for cyclospora can last for quite a while — [it] can last for a few weeks," BCCDC public health physician Dr. Mayank Singal said.

  • 2FA should be disabled until it is implemented properly
  • It appears to be an isolated incident, and I suspect that Authy software might be the cause.

    I’ve utilized automated 2FA with three different instances and have successfully logged back into them multiple times without any issues using 2FA codes. Have you considered trying a different 2FA code manager instead of Authy?

  • 2FA should be disabled until it is implemented properly
  • I'm starting to suspect that you haven't experienced the convenience of automated 2FA key implementation. Instead of scanning a QR code, the website automatically prompts and opens your password manager to insert and set up the 2FA verification key.

    This streamlined process not only saves time but also enhances security by eliminating any potential man-in-the-middle attack, as the website itself takes care of the necessary steps.

    I highly recommend trying it sometime as it offers a remarkably seamless and secure experience.

  • 2FA should be disabled until it is implemented properly
  • In iOS, the activation of 2FA is an automated process, eliminating the need for a separate 2FA code to confirm its enablement.

    I agree with your observation regarding the unavailability of backup codes for download.
