I love how there's no calamity poverty cannot make worse

My bus pass went missing. It is half way through the month so the cheapest solutions if it does not turn up are either strips of tickets or walking everywhere. Or a combination.

I had that happen to me about a year ago. Then in the summer, I lost my wallet in the backseat of a cab, literally steps from my front door (I had just finished paying the driver, and somehow my wallet didn't stay in my pocket).

Did you know that the Government of Canada no longer issues physical SIN cards?

I did not.

They do not. They will issue a "Letter of Confirmation of SIN," which sounds like something you should get from an Antipope, but not an actual replacement plastic card. So don't be stupid and/or forgetful and leave yours in your wallet after getting a new job and having to show it, and then lose your wallet...

*wah wah wah wahh...*

Super exciting for those of us who didn't have a SIN card (on account of not living here) before they stopped making them!

I believe the explanation is along the lines of "we want to encourage people who don't need your SIN to stop asking for it."
