Not on HomePods as far I as know.
Siri is also quite terrible at setting Homekit Scene. I totally gave up on it. For example I have a scene named "Play Music Everywhere" and even if I tell it explicitely with "Hey Siri set scene Play Music Everywhere" it fails miserably. Also simple task like: "Hey Siri play music on all HomePods" ends up with "Ok playing music Everywhere". When did I say everywhere??? I only want you to play on Homepods!

In Eastern Canada (Montreal for instance) when we go back to normal time the sun will set at around 4:30pm which is depressing to say the least. I think most people would rather have an extra hour during the evening than in the morning.

The range is pretty broad -40 to -200, but in colder region they put additives that prevents gasoline from freezing so it can save you.

LPG or Propane is awesome down until -42 celsius. Then it’s basically useless as it won’t vaporize. Live in Quebec too and my backup is a dual fuel generator. Propane and then regular fuel if it’s too cold or I’m out of propane. Never too careful!
Where does it end the censorship? This is starting to look real bad.

Ubiquiti AP are pretty great. Have 3 of them at home and great coverage on a 3 level home.
Average tax of 50% is pretty hard to hit you are right but I was more pointing at marginal tax rate which is what most people refer to when they say Canadian income tax are high. Just check the CRA tax brackets and add in the Revenu Quebec tax bracket for instance.
First time I hear about this too and I know lots of people who travel for work and never had problems. Care to elaborate?
Federal higher income bracket is not 50% but you have to factor the province as well so yeah well above 50% in Quebec for instance.
