A general Canadian subreddit dedicated to non-political discussions on all things Canada! Posts in English and French are welcome. Un subreddit général canadien dédié aux discussions non politiques sur toutes les choses du Canada! Les publications en anglais et en français sont les bienvenues.

Rules / Règles:

  1. No political discussions / Pas de discussions politiques: Leave the stuff with politicians and current affairs at the door. Being informed is good, but everyone could use a break from the debates sometimes. Laissons toutes les affaires politiques dehors. Être informé, c'est bien, mais parfois se débarrasser des débats, c'est bien aussi.

  2. No non-Canadian content / Pas de contenu non-Canadian: You can casually be a Canadian or talk about Canada here. Guests are welcome too, but all content has to be at least indirectly related to Canada. Tout le contenu doit être en lien avec le Canada, que vous soyez Canadien ou pas. Le but est de discuter du Canada de manière décontractée.

  3. No posts considered NSFW / Pas de contenu à caractère sexuel ni gore: You can find a community for everything on Reddit, and that includes everything weird. Just don't post anything gory or pornographic here. Il y en a déjà assez sur Reddit, donc ici, pas de gore ni de pornographie.

  4. No discrimination or insults / Pas de discrimination ni d'insulte: Everyone should feel safe here. Attacks against race, color, religion, creed, nationality, sex, gender, orientation, age, or disabilities will not be tolerated. Tout le monde devrait se sentir à l'aise ici. Aucune attaque contre la race, la couleur de peau, la religion, les croyances, la nationalité, le sexe, le genre, l'orientation, l'âge ou quelques handicap ne seront tolérées.

  5. No doxxing fellow users / Aucune publication d'informations personnelle: It'd be really creepy posting information that makes another user identifiable in the real world. Please avoid doing so for everyone else's safety. Ce serait vraiment étrange de diffuser des informations permettant d'identifier quelqu'un dans le monde réel. Pour la sécurité de tous, ne le faites pas.

  6. No advertisements / Aucune publicité: Feel free to post all kinds of pictures and polls here. However, don't lead anyone to an external platform you manage to access any of that stuff. Tous les sondages et les photos sont les bienvenus. Par contre, n'essayez pas d'attirer quelqu'un sur une plateforme externe dont vous pourriez tirer profit.

  7. No subreddit drama / Pas de discussion des autres sous-jlailu: Some other subreddits might be bickering, but let's keep that sort of nonsense away from here. Don't encourage any sort of brigading either. Il se passe toute sortes de niaiseries ailleurs, laissons-les là-bas. Pas besoin d'encourager qui que ce soit à aller intervenir.

  8. No pandemic posts / Aucun poteau sur la pandémie: There are more appropriate places on Reddit to discuss news and updates regarding the pandemic. Posts about it might also get repetitive, so this is a temporary rule to deal with that. Il y a assez d'endroit pour en discuter. Cette règle temporaire est en place pour éviter ce genre de contenu qui pourrait vite devenir répétitif.

My first black Friday. Any tips?

As the title implies, this is my first ever black Friday. I didn't even know tomorrow is black Friday until a few hours ago.

I understand that many people do a lot of planning to make the most out of it. But that doesn't seem to be an option for me anymore lol.

So i thought i might as well ask here.

I'm good on clothes. So no clothing advice please.

I like functionality over form. So anything that I can get relating to my car, my phone, my tablet?

Like I was thinking of getting a new phone (android please) and maybe something to make my time in my car a bit easier (I do uber eats) or maybe something for my Samsung tablet (like a keyboard cover with mouse pad?) or maybe something else that I'm not even thinking of?

Tldr; I was too busy with life to even know it's black Friday tomorrow. Need some advice on what to do to make the most of it. Functionality prioritised over form.

How long did you keep your mattress ?

I bought one at dormez vous 14 years ago. cost me 1600$ + taxes (or with taxes, don't remember). It's something with i don't how many springs in it.

Talked to someone who told be that used or not after 15 years, you should change it. I never did the "return / flip" thing. When i moved may be it was "return / flipped" but after settled in an appartment, I did nothing.

Help me preserve Canadian-airing TV Pilot of Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego!

I have made an in-depth post about this topic before on another subreddit - here is the link to that if you would like to learn more: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/1fxv8au/partially_lost_threepart_tv_edit_of_the_carmen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The TL;DR is that the Netflix Carmen Sandiego cartoon has scenes that are missing on Netflix, but are available on the Canadian TV cable channels WildbrainTV and Family Channel. On Netflix, the pilot is contained within 2 episodes, but the scenes we are looking to preserve are contained within 3 episodes on Canadian TV. These scenes are in danger of becoming lost media, and to preserve them I need a Canadian with access to these cable channels and the ability to record high quality video off their TV, or someone else with the resources and know-how to be able to help us get the episodes documented.

The episodes that I am aiming to preserve are possibly going to air early tomorrow morning on October 19th, 2024, on the Canadian channel WildbrainTV. I'm not entirely certain, because there are only 2 airing slots in place instead of 3 according to TVPassport (https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings/stations/wildbraintv/10176). However, I think it would be worth trying to record these scenes tomorrow anyway. I still haven't been able to find a Canadian who can help us record these episodes. If you or someone you know can help me capture this media, please let me know ASAP!

Even if we don't record these scenes tomorrow, hopefully we will have another opportunity in the future.

I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who might be able to help me!

Need some snow jacket recommendations Toronto, CA.

So i am a work from home guy who lives near GTA. As i said i mostly work from home but i have to sometimes go out 2 days mandatorily in a week be it work or anything. Now without any personal vehicle i have to use public transport and the place i go to has very limited shelter to protect myself from weather its like an open field.

So i have decided to invest in a good snow jacket with a '$500' budget. I looked at some mountain warehouse jackets which were -35, waterproof and snow proof but are said to be a bit lower in quality.

Please recommend something as i heard this Year's winter will be bad.
