As a retired couple, we are working to reduce our expenses, not increase them. Essential living costs, such as electricity, should not rise simply because of a business decision to expand or improve capabilities. These types of costs should not be passed on to customers, particularly those living on fixed or limited incomes. We respectfully ask that you consider adjusting the rates so they are fair and not punitive to customers.

I am voicing my concern about the rate hikes from Duke Energy. I am elderly & on a fixed income, and the recent utility hikes are squeezing my budget to a breaking point. Please do not allow AI centers to function off of the citizens backs and pocketbooks.

I just smashed my phone in front of 30 guests at my party because of I AM MUSIC not dropping. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. Jordan Carter has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Carti. I am no longer a fan.

Dear Prime Minister and Respected Members of the Government,
As a Canadian resident living in Alberta for the past eight years, I write to you with deep respect and heartfelt sincerity. My family and I have made our lives here — enduring countless struggles and making every possible effort to build a stable future in this beautiful country we proudly call home.
We arrived in Canada with high hopes and the determination to contribute meaningfully to society. Despite holding PhDs, finding secure employment has been a long and challenging journey. Like many other immigrant families, we faced numerous obstacles — from acquiring Permanent Residency and later working towards citizenship, to navigating the high costs of daycare, rental housing, and essential services. We have paid substantial amounts to IRCC and other institutions during this process.
After years of careful financial planning, sacrifice, and saving, we finally managed to put together the 5% down payment required to purchase our very first home — a dream we have nurtured since the day we arrived. We signed the purchase agreement in good faith, with the closing date set for September 2025.
Shortly after we signed, the government announced the First-Time Home Buyer GST Rebate. While we welcome this progressive and much-needed initiative, it was deeply disheartening to learn that eligibility is currently based on the agreement date, not the closing date.
This policy detail unintentionally excludes families like ours who, due to unavoidable circumstances, had to commit to their home purchase before this announcement (which is unpredictable). We could not have foreseen this benefit, and delaying such a critical life decision was not an option available to us.
Therefore, I sincerely and humbly urge the government to reconsider the eligibility criteria and base the GST rebate on the closing date rather than the agreement date. This change would make the program truly equitable and inclusive for all first-time home buyers, including those who signed before the announcement but will not receive the keys to their homes until much later.
We are just one of many families who have dreamt of homeownership and made countless sacrifices to turn that dream into reality. Please give thoughtful consideration to this request — it would provide much-needed relief and fairness to many hardworking Canadians striving to build a life of dignity and stability.
Thank you very much for your attention and for your continued efforts to support families like ours.
With sincere hope and gratitude,
Aparna

I have played league since I was 12 years old. I’m 27 now. The skin line has clearly lost originality. The price of some league skins is strictly exploitive. No one should pay that much money for a skin in a video game. Things are getting out of control and people are being exploited. League of legends is first and foremost a video game. Let’s keep it that way and try to bring the fun back to it.
