    We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth

        You lose all your teeth if all you’re eating is cookies, candy and Coca Cola everyday. Our economy is basically a toothless overweight diabetic

      Canada’s regulatory agencies feel so incredibly spineless. So many industries here are unchecked oligopolies with skyrocketing prices.

      My American friends are jawdropped when I tell them how much food, internet, and cell plans cost here.
