    Sad truth is, majority of people can’t see the food disaster that is coming. We’ve had it to good for to long. I live in a condo myself, I’m just as screwed.
    I’m not slow, I just like the way your bumper looks

    used my bandsaw yesterday, today I'm getting bandsaw tuning in my recommended.

    I did zero internet searches. I know how to use and set it up. I did ask my neighbor to help me move it and spoke about it with my phone in my pocket.

    Simply put, a digital Canadian dollar would be a digital form of the cash in your wallet. Like cash, it could buy the things you need. But the advantage is that you could also use it for online purchases and to transfer money between family and friends.
    Not sure how this is different than the current currency? I can already use my CAD to buy things I need, online, and transfer money. All my money is already digital. I get paid by my job and deposited electronically to my bank account. I pay my bills online, make purchases online…. at no point does my money become physical unless I go withdraw ACTUAL bills from a cash machine (rarely).

    Digital currency: it’s already here.

    Been here for a long time - all those who thinks it's bad but still uses credit cards, any reward programs, cell phones, home internet, drives a car (licence plate tracking via cameras), is on any govt program (eg. EI, CPP, OAS, ETC), etc, are being misled.

    I’m sure there’s some sort of conspiracy theory or government bad motive behind the posted link. Whatever.

    google: danger of digital currency


    By programming a CBDC, money can be precisely targeted for what people can own and what [people can do.]” A CBDC could undermine both the foundation and future of financial markets by reducing credit availability, disintermediating banks, and challenging the rise of cryptocurrency.


    as an example, you can't spend your money on boost.


    turning off people's money has already occured but did require co-operation of private banks (Ottawa protestors). Central Bank digi currency would make it immediate. Say for example you jaywalk. Facial recognition picks you up and immediately deducts $$. Do it twice and you money is unspendable for a penalty period. Want to travel. Can't buy gas. Try to board a train, plane, bus, money unspendable. No need for gun bans, money unspendable on guns, ammo, porn, whisky or whatever else is deemed unacceptable to society, or you specifically. Money comes with expiration date, must be spent within a week, month etc, after which it expires. No stockpiling of any goods as entirety of your purchases are known.

    No cash transactions. No garage sale finds, no currency exchange for a "backyard" job.
