You could be entitled to compensation from a class action lawsuit regarding Microsoft PC Software if you bought any software in Canada between certain years, no proof of purchase necessary.

(Canadian resident as of May 25, 2016 and currently a resident of Canada)

Did you buy PC versions of Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows, Office, Word, and/or Excel between 1998 and 2010? If so, you might be eligible for compensation.

I might get $47 as part of the settlement.

I guess being 50 years late is better than never. Victoria, BC and surrounding area no longer dumping raw sewage into the ocean as their treatment plant opens.


The 126 year history of dumping largely untreated wastewater into the ocean has stopped, now will be treated prior to discharge.

You know when it takes Amazon 3 weeks from order to getting items, they really become pretty dang useless.

I wish Amazon could do this for Kelowna...ha ha

But good for Iqaluit, Amazon is buying dedicated cargo space on Canadian North on Wed and Sun from Ottawa to get parcels there quicker.
