Sadly I’m sure a company as big as PetSmart has done the math and decided they stand to make more from advertising than from a few lost reviews

Do those have different definitions though? If I do something ‘by purpose’, I don’t think it means anything different from doing it ‘on purpose’. What other meaning could we derive from that?

I’ve always thought the same, but one day I realized the opposite of ‘by accident’ is ‘on purpose’. They’re both prepositions and nouns, so why couldn’t we say ‘on accident’ and ‘by purpose’? They’re at least grammatically correct if not socially.

The problem is the guy at the helm (Carney) is basically a Conservative in a Liberal hat. Years ago his policies would have fit squarely into the Conservative agenda, but the latter swung so far right with their anti-immigrant, anti-trans, tough on crime bullshit that the Liberals nominated a moderate conservative to lead the party. Carney is perfectly happy with all the things you listed sadly.

It’s so close to reality that I’ll forgive it :P
