    Interesting product. What's "in it" for the mentors? The seem to be an integral part of your value prop.

    Yes, that was their online sales revenue in 2019, unless you think giants like Wal Mart (with nearly 400 supercenter stores in Canada) and Costco are doing only 1 billion in brick …

    Amazon.ca and Amazon.com accounted for about 10% of all e-commerce sales in Canada for 2019. I wish i had some stats for the raw # of total packages/shipments, because that's where…

    That's a bit of hyperbole. Walmart, Costco, The Bay all did more than a billion in revenue for 2019. Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Best Buy, Home Depot had more than 500 million and l…

    I'm in Toronto, so we have Skip (Skipthedishes) instead of GrubHub along with UberEats and Doordash 1.) Skip doesn't allow the restaurant to jack up the price, so to the customer t…

    I'm curious as to how a basic app could replace the on demand delivery logistics / handle the volume that a platform like UberEats sends to restaurants ? Maybe my urban area is dif…

    Condominium in Ontario (Toronto is in Ontario) is a form of ownership, it had nothing to do with the physical form of the home. You can own a condominimum townhouse (a row of singl…

    Well they did bring fibre to the two existing developments in the Canary District. And for a far better price than than Canadians are used to with the big 3. I don't really see a l…

    I had no idea this Google Express app existed (It's not available in my region of the world). It's a shame they force you to use it, over just adding to a shopping list in Google K…

    I've used maybe 15 Android devices since it's inception. HTC, Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and "Google" (two Nexus devices and 1 Pixel). If I had to choose I would take stock Android i…

    Tap to wake usually either requires more pressure than an accidental bump or requires a quick double tap. That is how it has been implemented in the Android phones I've used so far…

    This is nothing new and Microsoft has had programs like this in place from time and time (including trading in old versions of Surface / Surface Pro). As someone pointed out, it's …

    A couple of counter points 1.) Design is subjective. I for one think while the Model S looks great, the X and 3 do not look that attractive. 2.) I really don't think "faster" reall…

    Just curious, when was the last time you used a Samsung device ? A couple of points as I used to share your opinion, but I recently purchase a Edge Plus which changed my views (whi…

    I'd argue that they aren't "so much further" ahead of almost everyone of the dimensions you listed with the exception of: 1.) potentially performance (as I'm not familiar with the …

    Your tablet analogy doesn't hold true for the high resolution screens in phones. Android's most popular devices (Samsung and Motorola/Droid) prior to Apple's first "retina" display…

    Except half your list is not accurate. High resolution displays were around long before the iPhone 4 moved from their standard resolution. "Retina" is a branded term for a high res…

    It works ... after you let it load and everything reflows accordingly. Terrible first experience.

    Except the new XPS 13 is made out of aluminium and carbon fibre. And the $1299 model has a 13" screen with touch and a higher resolution. And it has an i5 processor versus a Core M…

    If they ape the Windows 8 snap view completely, it won't work in portrait. It will be interesting how they deal with installing phone apps on the tablet. They might just allow cart…

    Windos 8/RT has multiple user accounts. Android 4.2 on tablets also has multiple user accounts.
