He said he began his ultra secret mission upon received “very compelling” information from a counterpart at a foreign agency in 2014 that “demonstrated clearly a direct and grave threat” to Canada. Monday, Germany-based Tuta strongly denied Ortis’ claims and said it is “wholly owned” by founders Arne Möhle and Matthias Pfau. “The Tutao GbmH is not owned by any secret service, nor is it a ‘storefront’ as claimed by Cameron Ortis,” reads the statement. He said he hatched his “intelligence operation”, called OR Nudge, following two calls from a counterpart at an unnamed foreign agency in 2014.

Arsenault, like many Canadians, found herself working multiple jobs just to cover her basic expenses. Despite holding a master’s degree in music therapy and working two part-time therapy positions, she still couldn’t afford to pay her rent. Music therapy is a specialized field of healthcare that uses music to improve the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of individuals. The rising cost of living, including housing, groceries, and bills, has made it difficult for many Canadians to make ends meet with a single job. Working multiple jobs can have detrimental effects on an individual’s physical and mental health.

Dear Liz: I’m receiving numerous email offers from big banks offering significant incentives and bonuses to open checking and savings accounts. I usually don’t pay much attention to them but the latest one is offering $900 to open these accounts. Answer: Banks offer these incentives to lure in new customers, but you’re wise to consider all the potential costs because the bonuses may be less lucrative than they appear. Plus, many banks that offer sign-up incentives pay a paltry interest rate or no interest at all. Answer: Qualified charitable distributions can be a great solution for people who have saved more in their retirement accounts than they need and who want to benefit good causes.
