Netflix Canada to start slapping the fingers of customers who share their passwords with family members or friends. The streaming giant is cleaning up its act and will crack down on this illegal way of sharing.

Emails from Netflix Canada will land in Canadian users’ email to inform them of the limitations of account access by users who are not under the same roof.

It’s simple. This intervention comes as Netflix wants to increase its number of subscribers and its revenues, while the company has taken advantage for years of this password sharing so that word of mouth does its work.

The current rules state that people with a basic subscription can “purchase an additional member slot” at a cost of $7.99 per month.

Forpremium 4K HDsubscribers, who pay $20.99 each month, they can add two members who do not live in the same house.

As forstandard subscribers ($16.49 per month), they are able to add one member per month.

Of course, the $9.99 basic plans and the ad-supported plans that cost only $5.99 don’t allow you to add people who don’t live in the same house.

This announcement is the first step of this radical change, which should begin in the next few months.

The RV Show, which is presented by theAssociation des commerçants de véhicules récréatifs du Québec (ACVRQ)in collaboration with Leclerc Insurance, Industrial Alliance, SSQ Insurance and Desjardins, will be back!

This 34th edition, which will take place from March 2 to 5, 2023, is a must-attend event for camping and caravanning enthusiasts.

It will take place at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, where more than 120 exhibitors will participate in the event.

The exhibitors will obviously present many new recreational vehicles, accessories, outdoor equipment, services and vacation destinations.

In addition, conferences covering several topics will be offered directly on site, which will certainly appeal to global learning enthusiasts.

The Quebec City edition will be held in October at the Expocité Exhibition Center.

To support the Special Olympics Canada simply purchase a limited edition donut at any participating Tim Hortons between February 3rd and 5th.

All proceeds will go directly to the CSO to raise funds and awareness and help more than 41,000Special Olympics Canada athletes reach their full potential.

The donut is made of chocolate cake batter, covered with white fondant, coloured sprinkles and whipped topping. The design is obviously inspired by diversity and inclusion, the theme and mission of Special Olympics.

“Tim Hortons and Special Olympics Canada share core values of supporting diversity and inclusion and believe in the benefits of sport to help athletes reach their full potential,” said Hope Bagozzi, Director of Marketing at Tim Hortons.

Sport is very unifying, so this organization obviously believes it will push people to open their “hearts and minds to people with intellectual disabilities” while creating inclusive groups across Canada.

“We are very grateful for Tim Hortons’ support of our daily community sport program that enriches the lives of thousands of people with an intellectual disability,” said Sharon Bollenbach, Executive Director of Special Olympics Canada.

By the way, Maxime Clavette, a Special Olympics athlete from Quebec, is headlining a Tim Hortons TV commercial to promote this great campaign.

“When I joined Special Olympics, I was unable to run long distances. Now I’m really fast and I can run 5 km! I feel like I can do anything because I am included,” said Maxime Clavette.

This bar has built its history thanks to its huge terrace, and this one was visited to excess by students from UQAM and the CEGEP du Vieux Montréal.

However, the bar encountered several difficulties due to the pandemic, which came right after a temporary closure for renovations in the fall of 2020.

In January 2022, La Presse reported that the building was on the market for $15 million. Still according to La Presse, people were interested in buying it in order to develop a commercial and residential project.

Next June, the Archambault store at the corner of Berri and Sainte-Catherine will close its doors, a news that employees learned today (January 27), reports La Presse.

Groupe Archambault would no longer be able to ignore the transformation of commercial options near Place Émilie-Gamelin, thus pushing the management not to renew the lease, which will end in June 2023.

Consumer habits, which have evolved considerably over the past few years, seem to be another factor.

This means that 34 employees will be out of work, but they will be able to apply for vacant positions among the 14 establishments still open, according to the same source.

The Canadian rock band Nickelback who just announced their North American tour Get Rollin’ has chosen Quebec City to prepare for the tour, which will begin in June.

Quebec City, known as a rock city, will host the band from British Columbia to polish up their final chords before touring America all summer long. The quartet will be at the Centre Vidéotron for the duration of their rehearsals, in the weeks leading up to the tour’s inaugural concert.

Nickelback will be kicking off their tour on June 12 in the old capital ‘s amphitheatre. This concert will mark the return of the rockers to Quebec City for the first time in 16 years.

On June 14th,Nickelback will be at the Bell Center. These are the only two concerts scheduled in Quebec for the moment.

This is not the first time that the Centre Vidéotron will host rehearsals for a tour of this magnitude. In 2019, the amphitheatre hosted singer Céline Dion during her world tour Courage.

The British singer Paul McCartney, in 2018 and the mythical band Pearl Jam during its last visit to Quebec City, in 2022, have also used the facilities for their rehearsals.
