I'll take Bummer for $400: Canadians no longer allowed on Jeopardy - CBC News

Feb 21, 2016

When it comes to appearing on the popular game show Jeopardy, Canadians need not apply...

The website says the show is currently "precluded from accepting registration information from Canadian residents."

It goes on to say the show is evaluating the matter but does not indicate why.

Media reports quote the show's producers as saying the problem is due to international laws governing how information is shared over the Internet.

The longtime host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek, is a Canadian, born and raised in Sudbury, Ont.

Restaurant business booming despite economic slowdown - Business - CBC News

Canadians' spending on dining out is forecast to increase for the 25th year in a row.

Too many debt-ridden Canadians are spending big in restaurants, says the head of a credit counselling group...

Carter's firm is forecasting an overall increase in sales for the industry this year ? mostly due to inflation ? and says millennials are a strong source of support.

"They are the largest cohort using restaurants," he says. "Regardless of economic uncertainty, they continue to be the fastest growing segment of the restaurant market."

Interesting. Illogical though. Is it socialization? Laziness? Not knowing how to cook?

It is the culture of instant gratification, I assume. It is like instant coffee - when you lack the real stuff, you make up with whatever is available, quick and easy.
It is also due to the fact that when people get poorer and poorer, they have less money for any kind of activities, that don't cover necessities like eating.:coffee:
