I love CBC Marketplace, I love how they aren't afraid to go against any company, even the Canadian government, even though they are a public broadcaster. Really feels like they have the public's best interest at heart.

I believe the show airs on TV as well. So many viewers, especially long time fans, see it on there. But you're still right. This show could have a bigger KZbin audience with the right kind of techie touch. I think it should be a required class in high school! At least the kids would pay attention and get off their phones because I know they would love it! This show has always been great stuff!

[@SpaceMonkiiBob]

Marketplace is such a solid show. The plastics being shipped to Malaysia instead of being recycled is quite upsetting!

[@originalunoriginal4055]

Yes, but they cannot set foot in those countries without government approval! Those countries recieving those dumps, are paid by the sender to buy landfill space and the government agrees to sell its country's dignity and reputation for money!

Can you do a Episode on money Laundering in Vancouver Real Estate ?

[@Yosetime]

@700 K Yes!! I noticed that there is also a commercial I see often on KZbin made by the Alberta Government promoting their online gambling site. Followed by a nice message that states how all the money stays in Alberta (followed by a small warning to not get addicted)! This is such a contradiction to that big fiasco when they took all the slot machines out of public places like pubs not that long ago claiming it promoted addictive behaviour. Now, apparently, the whole fuss was over nothing and they now advertise online gambling. They don't advertise cigarettes anymore. Or alcohol (I don't think so anyway). But weed and online gambling is totally ok!! I was horrified!! Anything for the big bucks I guess. I hope some of that money is going to help people who become addicted to gambling due to their sinful prompting! I'm sure that number has risen since Covid started. How confusing for our young people!

When it comes to waste, food scraps ending up in landfills causes a huge problem, and its caused because people dont want to clean dirty bins.

Thanks CBC Marketplace...one of my top favorite shows...I think that the order of sins should have had neglect move up to the second position after all people's lives have been lost...could have even been the number one sin!

Thank you, Marketplace, for doing what you do - and for posting your content on KZbin so the rest of the world can enjoy it as well. It's a type of reporting that's fallen out of favor here in the corporate-dominated US, so if not for you we'd have nothing like this.

@MandyLina123 I don’t know if this is helpful for you personally, but I’ve heard good things about those Soda Stream machines. One friend bought hers from MaxSold, and another from Facebook marketplace. (Might as well save money, and rescue someone else’s unloved/unused appliances, especially if you’re not sure if it would work for you.) If you research the reviews on specific flavours ahead of time, you may find some brands are more authentic tasting than others. Wishing you and your loved ones safety, peace, and as much lighthearted laughter as you can get in these incredibly unpredictable and constantly changing times. 🙏🏼🇨🇦

I was really considering one but wasn’t sure due to space as I was considering a big move in a few years to another country but in the meantime, I drink water flavourings.

Ordered boots in November-no Canadian store had the size needed because it is popular for 14-17 years old. They arrived at end of January but I cannot pick them up unless I pay 112$ as border fees for Fedex. I already paid 450 US$. The price for any other size, in Canada, is 195$. Kickscrew is not in US but in Hong Kong. Every time I enquired about the delivery since November, they offered 10 or 20 US$.

#4 is kinda difficult to predict If you’re a biotechnologist then you’d know Basically, DNA samples can be quite random as the base sequences can be different in each saliva sample. Another factor which contributes to the differences in the DNA of identical twins are epigenomic differences which you won’t be able to see. These epigenomic differences are what makes every person unique. Sincerely, A person with an identical twin who is studying genes.

There's a simple question people should ask themselves when anyone is trying to sell them something---"sell" literally (taking your money) or figuratively (e.g. persuading you to embrace an ideology): "Cui bono?" ( "Who benefits?") Almost always, except in cases of purchasing the necessities of life, the answer is "not me." Saves a lot of hassle. And money.

[@g.g.l_2024]

I would like to know if Febreze is really not toxic and if it can harm for example Pregnant people. Whether it is the antibacterial to fabric or just air freshener. Their website's info: "Is Febreze safe to use while pregnant? Whether you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or raising a crew of tiny humans, you can confidently eliminate odors with Febreze. Just follow the instructions on the label and reach out to your doctor with any concerns." It seems to suggest, as long we use the proper way, we can use it confidently while being pregnant.

Great ending to your season. I got into the habit, back in the 1980's, of following TV commercials. That morphed into online commercials, and the latest trend I've seen by & for Canadians is online MLM's touting online business. They purportedly cost you nothing to start up, & bring in significant returns. Then there's the "Ancient Chinese Weight-loss Formula", which medical doctors don't want you to know about. :/ I always have commercials I either love, or love to hate. My biggest beef these days is the deluge by Grammarly. My last "Love it!" moment was for the reintroduction of the Mini Cooper. Absolutely hilarious. ;)
