Just trying to find a motivation for you to save $50 per month. Which you could have easily done today btw by not posting here for a bit. Don't try to feed us bs that you don't have time for this.

Can't be replaced by a user. They can be replaced just fine by a repair shop with the proper tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can I'll stop. Because the argument is phone plans as a whole are cheaper. Not if you can sit on the line for 30 minutes haggling some poor dude who can barely speak English. Or going to some shitty subsidiary of the big 3 and using your 5 year old phone that can't even hold a charge anymore. If you are factoring in the cost of the device have you considered how much an iphone or samsung cost 5 or 10 years ago compared to today? I understand your point but I don't agree with it. I posted an actual add the last time this came up. It was 45mo unlimited data from rogers. That was unheard of 5-10 years ago. Data plans in general are far cheaper with higher caps. They even suckered my cheap ass into getting one. Still only pay $35 month though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I both got em and she was excited that hers had voice recognition..mine too but it was rudimentary ... so she plugged in all her contacts and i overheard her saying in a bit of a Veruca Salt voice "Call My Mommy" and it dialed her mom. Next day I picked up her phone while I was trying to explain that the voice recognition wasn't a safety feature..anyone can mimic her and use her phone... so i said real shmarmy like a spoiled Baby Spice... "Call My Mommmmmieeeeee" and it dialed up my mother in law...I laughed, and she didn't talk to me the rest of the day. Also I had to talk to mom in law for five minutes when she picked up on the first ring..dangit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data points have been massaged, that is to say moved in most years from 1995 thru, well frankly thru to the final data point. I am looking at the real data comparison between the two from 96 to 2022 and you fell for a dupe. For instance, the gap at the end of the Harper Era was already HUGE before Trudeau was even sworn in. It continued to widen for the one extra year after Harper, before generally narrowing year over year until covid. I get why people who hate Trudeau would fall for obvious propaganda, but why do you think the rest of us would? It is a case of either you don't have any critical thinking skills or you knew it was a lie and hoped WE didn't have any critical thinking skills. EDIT: Although, I do find it interesting on the real chart: During the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, the following years data CANADA took a real dump and dropped in real GDP by over 4 times the drop that the USA took. Fast forward to Covid crisis and Canada only dropped by double what the USA dropped. Funny huh, it is almost like the crisis was managed better by the Trudeau Gov than the previous crisis was handled by the Harper Gov. But silly me, I am using critical thinking skills again, which might be unfair. lastly: Canada in 2022 had the best real GDP per capita of our entire existence as a nation.

That is kind of my point: YOu could use real facts and figures to make a point against the Liberal Government, no one is perfect and no government has ever been close to perfect, but instead for some reason the rowdy right prefers to spout made up bullshit that they heard or saw in a meme on tiktok while calling it research. It undercuts credibility to the extreme, so why now should I even bother to click your links, knowing that the odds are good your just spouting crap you saw somewhere else? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
