I'm not sure why you're specifically focusing on mutual funds. Holding of public shares is supposed to be a passive income whether it's individual investors (who are hopefully diversifying their investments), mutual funds, ETFs, etc. The board works for the shareholders by collecting data, assessing that data, and then making recommendations so that investors don't have to do that research. Sure, it's possible that the shareholders vote against the advice of the board, but it's pretty rare. If the board is out of step with the shareholders, they should probably be replaced. This is a virtuous cycle (or vicious cycle for other stocks) where Costco is seen as a fairly ethical company, so investors who are looking for stocks that meet their values choose companies like Costco (whether they are individual investors or investment vehicles marketed as fitting certain values). These investors choose a board who represents their values, so I don't think, "we're just lucky that Costco’s board of directors isn’t terrible," I think it's a part of this virtuous cycle.

Why wasn't an address provided? I'm not familiar with Kingston's pilot, but the social service department of most cities have solved this pretty simple problem by either renting a PO Box or using their own address. Sure, people in the know recognize the address but at least people can receive their mail.
As someone who was happy my instance was initially federating with Threads, I am also happy they stopped federating after Meta's moderation changes. Some people see this as an "I told you so moment" but I see it as the situation changed and we adapted. (I'm also not saying that instances who blocked threads from the start were wrong. Even if we agree on the facts of the case, we can come to different conclusions based on our values and priorities.)
I am familiar with who the LPC has as House Leader. Your comment didn't clarify which three out of ~half dozen declared candidates. The article's about Freeland, your comment referenced Carney. but there wasn't a third candidate in the discussion.
It will be interesting to see how the three of them fair.
What three are you talking about?
I bought some at Bulk Barn for Christmas.
I was really hopefully that the messaging around the carbon tax would have been better, and Canadians would realize most of us earn money overall with the carbon rebates.
I was hoping that could lead us into more Pigouvian taxes to financially encourage people to make better choices. For example, a Pigouvian tax on clothing to reduce our reliance on fast-fashion and encourage consumers to buy more high-quality, long lasting clothes.
Oh no, these are my Dad's favourite!!
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I heard lots of stories from my friends who were students in engineering, and there were a lot of f'd up stories about Canadian trained PEs too. The pattern I noticed wasn't where they were trained, but how much they were paid (you get what you pay for).
Also just an anecdote!
FTA:
we're looking for competence, not equivalence. That actually doesn't change the bar, we're still looking for a competent physician, but it broadens the number of people who [can] apply.
I think "will never hire a non-white person for a position" is a little far but I do think "are unlikely to ever hire a non-white person for a position" (maybe even "highly unlikely") is fair.
