Well, the debt relief companies are pretty scummy. I don't see anything wrong with "pay us to handle your internet worldwide", though.

Yeah, fair. I just often feel the need to make sure people know the difference, since there are some companies that do literally resell Rogers/Telus/Bell/SaskTel/etc services. They're mostly either debt relief companies for customers, or global subcontractors for large companies with offices over the world who pay "one company" for internet, but they really just contract it out to the local provider on the others' behalf.

They're a wholesaler, there's nothing virtual about their network. Rogers handles connections between end-users and Oxio, nothing further. It's not Rogers internet.

See, South Park joking about war with Canada can be funny. It's not funny when it comes from the government.

It's also arguably not funny right now from anybody, but South Park doesn't really have taboos so I'll let it slide.

Yes and no. Companies like Oxio or Teksavvy have their own network infrastructure. They just use the incumbent for the last mile. If you have Oxio for example, Rogers isn't your internet provider, they're your Oxio provider.

I've heard it's not gay in a three way either.

I am now saving this picture, and spreading it as far and wide as I can.

And I will never, never, never translate it into English.

Sometimes you get article transfer as well. The English word "apron" comes from the obsolete "napron", in turn from Old French "napperon".

People heard "a napron", which became "an apron", which eventually led to the main word being "apron".

That's just direct income. With that kind of money, investments and other income streams become possible.

Because we are old. Wasn’t the Andrew Wakefield nonsense paper from 1989? Oops no, it was 1998.

Yup, and 1998 was 27 years ago, that's a perfectly reasonable age for motherhood. My kids were born when I was younger than that.

 

Because he didn't know about ISO8601. The only correct date format, especially in Canada.
