Not that I’d attend a Spice Girls concert, but it’s interesting to note that British Columbia once again beat Ontario (see Simpson’s Kwik-E-Mart) in exclusively hosting an International event. Vancouver will actually be the first city they play in so it’ll get massive coverage!
If you want the Spice Girls to play at another Canadian city, say Toronto or Montreal you can vote here.

DELL Vostro 1000 Laptop is on sale for $549 $739. If you’re looking for a laptop for regular use like surfing the Internet, creating spreadsheets or documents, chatting, etc. then this is the perfect laptop for you. One of the main advantages of this laptop is its anti-glare screen: it doesn’t use the TrueLife screen (found in most Toshibas) which I find ridiculously annoying. It also has Windows XP not Vista. XP is more stable and secure now but eventually Vista will take over.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive laptop to use for school, college or university work this is the perfect choice.
Vostro 1000 Laptop specs:
- AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual-Core processor TK-53 (1.7GHz/512KB), English
- 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display (matte screen, not the annoying TrueLife)
- 1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 Dimm
- 80G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
- 8X DVD+/-RW with double-layer DVD+R write capability, Cyberlink Power DVD
- ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (integrated)
- Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, SP2, English
- 1 Year Return to Depot Service and Technical Support

Sanyo Eneloop 4 AAA Rechargeable Batteries are on sale at Dell Canada for $14.00 $29.00. AAA Rechargeable batteries are usually more expensive than AA batteries so that’s a good deal. These batteries also have a very slow self discharge rate which you’ll appreciate if you’ve ever used regular rechargeable batteries.
Shipping is Free

Thanks adora for sharing this video with the rest of us 
This has been all over the news but just in case you haven’t heard about it yet, Aquafina water bottle labels will be changed to spell out that the drink comes from the same source as tap water. Dasani also comes from tap water and is then purified. I’d like to compile a list of all bottled water brands sold in Canada and their water source. Note that this may be different from the US. For example Nestle Pure Life comes from Aberfoyle Spring Water in Canada but tap water in US. So please make sure the info you mention is relevant to Canada.
I’ll update the list and add more details as I get comments. Also please correct me if I’m wrong.
Pepsi Co Aquafina - purified tap water from Mississauga
Coca Cola Dasani - tap water from Brampton filtered 5 times
Nestle Pure Life - Aberfoyle Spring Water
Danone Evian - Spring Water
Montclair - from Cedar Valley Springs, Erin, Ontario, Canada - Natural Spring Water
FIJI Water - Artesian well in the Yaqara Range of the Nakauvadra Mountains
Ice River Springs - Natural Spring Water
It says source situated in Feversham, Grey Country, Ontario
Strangely, this water tastes sweet.. There’s no sodium in it.
… others?
Thanks to Kaylakat, adora, Sirop, Lili helping me out

If you have any CIBC VISA card you can phone asking to have it canceled. CIBC has the best retention plan out there and you will be offered an amount of cash (which varies from case to case) as a compensation for your dissatisfaction, and the amount will be more than the annual fees!
The guys at CIBC are trying to satisfy their customers in any way, paying cash to the unsatisfied customers is impressive.
Personal advice: only use this if you’re really unsatisfiedÂ
