Bro, the Calgary tech sector should start leasing office space in your head the way they live rent free in there maybe that’s how we can lure more tech companies to the Edmonton area.

But don’t tell YYC’ers that their Neo Financial group is nothing more than immigrant slave labor tolling around in the bowels on their DT Bay building pretending to be under the guise of “Fintech” when it’s really just, “Thank you for calling Neo, please enter the last 4 digest of your phone number please.”

My credit card with Neo apparently got hacked and they now have had to replace it four times, so I feel there may be some security issues with their staff. I have had few problems with any other card I have.
