How does everyone feel about the city council's decision to do away with the 25-cent fee for single-use cups? I had hoped when this law had rolled out that people would cut back on using single-use cups but I guess that wasn't the case.

Just another pointless fee that misses the mark. Glad it's gone.

Me too. It was seriously pointless

More symbolic than anything else. It’s early days but hoping for real change with the new council around the big issues like getting out of the way of housing development and speeding up the approval process (for both the big developers and individual homeowners).

A untested policy that many businesses took advantage of to pocket more money as if inflation wasn’t doing that already for these segments.

I’m happy it’s gone.

I’m sure if anyone else asked this I wouldn’t be bothered, but the fact a reporter is asking kind of irks me, I’m not sure why.

25 cents was just enough to justify bringing a coffee mug. I thought it was a great idea. Same with charging 10 cents for bags at the grocery store. Force people to be more sustainable or pay for it (I was constantly paying for it, especially the coffee cups and always “kicked” myself)

I do understand how those less fortunate we severely disadvantaged but that’s where proprietors need to have a bit of compassion.

Best news!

Haha, I mean I'm definitely cool with it. Never made much sense to me to begin with.

Don't think it had the desired effect, like most policies unfortunately. Not sure what the next direction is though

It was terrible policy making so I’m glad it’s gone.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
