  • Wealthsimple Cash covers most of what one might be looking for in a chequing account.

    • 4.5% interest if you deposit your paycheque into it. 3% otherwise I think? It’s quite high
    • you can send e-transfers from a Cash account, or you send money using WS Cash to other Cash users. Both workflows are easy

    The Cash card also has 0.5% cash back on purchases IIRC and is essentially a prepaid credit card / debit card. I love WS Cash, the only reason I don’t use it more often is that I have an Amex.













  • FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

    To that end, some ideas

    • Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
    • Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
    • Canada online
    • Some backronym for CANUCK
    • Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

    I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.
