Year-End Post Mortem: Miscellaneous

• Whole Foods was apparently fined $30,000 for being open on Good Friday (see article here, and my post Whole Foods Fine).  I said there was a 20% chance of a fine larger than $10,000.  This was a very awkward question, because I couldn't find any reference to the fine until well after the question close date; I will choose less obscure questions in the future.
• The Ottawa Airport taxi strike ended in December (see my post Ottawa Airport Taxi Strike v2).  In mid-October, I said there was a 35% chance of it ending in late November or December, and a 65% chance of it ending before the end of 2015.  I think those numbers were approximately reasonable.
• The Ontario government has not required a Beer Store Franchise Fee.  In January 2015, I said there was a 60% chance of such a fee being required.  This was one of those cases where I focussed too much on a single proposed suggestion; the government decided to change the liquor licensing system in other ways instead.
• At the beginning of 2016, both CraveTV and Shomi were available to all Canadians (see my post CraveTV / Shomi Restrictions).  In March 2015, I said there was a 18% chance of this occurring, which might have been too low.  At that time, there were definitely signs that Shomi would expand availability, and that would plausibly force CraveTV to do so also.  On the other hand, this was a very close question; CraveTV only expanded availability at the beginning of the year.
• The BOC interest rate in December was unchanged (see my post Canada Interest Rate December).  I said there was an 80% chance of this occurring, which might have been too low.
