2 h. ago Canadian man locked out of $43K in PC Optimum points by Loblaws

A new report shines a light on a Loblaws shopper who recently had $43,000 worth of PC Optimum points frozen in his account before he could spend them.Frank Zhang has saved 43 million PC Optimum points over his lifetime by shopping at Loblaws stores and using a PC Mastercard, but he was quite shocked when he tried to redeem his points in January and found his account locked.According to a CBC Go Public report, the automated online help tool initially told him his account was frozen and that he needed to change his password to unlock it. That didn't resolve his issue, so Zhang called the helpline instead and was met with a different answer. The person on the phone told him that he'd broken the PC Optimum terms and conditions, but they refused to say which rule specifically led to his account being frozen.A Calgary man named Jeff Mack suffered the same issue after having his 1.5 million points ($1,500) frozen last fall. At least the support channel told him his account was di...

Springlike weather might just be put on pause in Toronto this week, as the ultimate Uno-reverse takes place, sending balmy temperatures to the Arctic and frigid ones to southern Ontario.It's no secret that the weather in Toronto has been flip-flopping all season long, but this week, it also looks like two very different regions will be trading temperatures for a few days, the Weather Network reports.As Toronto will grapple with what Meteorologist Kevin Mackay describes as "some of the coldest air in almost a decade for April" this week, some of the warmest temperatures in the country can be found "well above the 60th parallel."Up around the western half of the Arctic Circle, balmy temperatures in the mid-single digits are forecast to linger all week long, while Toronto fights to break the freezing mark. Talk about the short end of the stick! Mackay goes on to note that, while this seemingly backwards weather system is certainly an anomaly, the far north is no stranger to m...

A free hamburger from one of Toronto's most popular burger joints, of course!I'm sure I'm not only speaking for myself when I say that, once the weather starts warming up and the sun shows its face a little more often, hamburgers are, more or less, the only thing I can think about.The craving is so easily triggered that sometimes, all it takes is the whiff of a distant barbeque firing up to render me near-rabid, with the only hope of a cure resting in the hands of an apron-wearing, spatula-wielding griddle cook.The good folks behind Rosie's Burgers (a frequent recipient of my frenetic burger orders) aren't doing much to squash that insatiable need for beef, buns and banana pudding this spring, either, as they gear up to open up a brand-new location at Avenue and Lawrence.To make matters even better — or worse, in the case of my cholesterol — they're celebrating opening day by giving away 100 free burgers t...
