@RBC Day number 3, and hour number 2 on each call and then the call drops. No call back mechanism. Nothing. Call just dropped. An hour after waiting.

@RBC is the wait time for CC security every less than 1+ hr????

This thread is the new Twitter / X.
The comments on there. And the sheer insanity of the post.

Want to know the difference between the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Romans? Just look at their statues.

Art always tells you what a society wants to believe about itself.

“There are so many skilled immigrants who qualify to come to Canada, but once they end up here, many don’t get the opportunity for the jobs their skill sets are for…You have engineers, doctors and dentists working in retail. That’s very strange to me.”

A modern Napster moment.

Will be fascinating to watch this all unfold in real-time.
