JAPANESE CANADIAN HISTORY
  
A major initiative of the Japanese Canadian Legacies has been to incorporate the history of the internment in school curriculum.
Finally, the story of the Japanese Canadian internment will be added to the B.C. Social Studies 10 curriculum alongside topics such as the Holocaust and Residential Schools.
I didn't find out about the internment until my 30s and that Japanese Canadians were not allowed to vote until April 1, 1948.

FAMILY INSURANCE MULTI-CAR DISCOUNT
We were transferring the insurance on a vehicle at a dealership and the insurance advisor noticed we have 4 vehicles.
She asked if we knew about the multiple vehicle discount through Family Insurance.
We did not - no agent has informed us of this option before.
Although BC drivers must pay the basic insurance portion through ICBC, the optional items such as collision, comprehensive, and 3rd party liability can be purchased through an external agency.
However, the Family Insurance discount can only be applied through one broker.
Thank you Stella Park of Stratis Insurance for saving us a bundle.
FED UP WITH GOOGLE AI? TRY KAGI.
I was forced to drop Google as a search engine months ago when it started bombarding me with useless ads.
Ever since, I've been looking at alternative search engines like Bing, DuckDuckGo, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari.
I encountered a new subscription-based ad-free search engine called KAGI.
Here is an in-depth review by Ars Technica.
Searches here are ad-free because Kagi makes money through paid subscriptions.
It doesn't track or sell your data and a host of other features.
Kagi offers a free trial period of 100 searches before offering their starter package at $5 per month for 300 searches up to their unlimited plan at $25 per month.
Google remains the universal browser (for now), but I prefer tailored results and privacy controls.
