Calgary here, we need it. We have very hard water, so have a whole home water softener installed, which does remove those minerals so adding them back in to drinking water isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Main reason we use a water filter pitcher in the fridge though, coffee and ice machine, there have been too many instances of our water treatment plant blasting a chlorine surge through the system which resulted in horrid tasting ice and coffee :)

$126 for 6 replacement filters?? I grabbed a 10 pack of Kirkland filters for $30 a few months back which I haven’t cracked yet since I’m still working with the 3 filters included with the pitcher. And these guys want $100 (on “sale”) for their equivalent pitcher? That was $25 at Costco.

All for supporting Canadian businesses but these guys need to rethink the price point here, maybe add some gold trim or something to justify it. It’s a plastic pitcher made from a mold, the filters use basic carbon filtering like the rest, then they add in the minerals which might add a few pennies to the cost. Aim for at worst 10% above the incumbent well known brands but they’re not going to survive being triple the price point.

Yup, Carney is playing it well by telling him we’re not even willing to negotiate with the orange blob until he drops the threats against our sovereignty. As long as he keeps his bluster about it then we don’t enter discussions, period. Show us you’re going to act like a responsible adult and we’ll talk.

And this latest tariff crap, once again it’s distraction from whatever other nonsense he’s spewing or trying to hide, in this case it’s the Signal-gate stuff. They’re trying their darnedest to get that out of the news cycle.
