The Canadian is Vancouver to Toronto and a sleeper cabin for 2 is a few grand I think. Idk how you got $10k in 2000 unless you were booking the night before or looking at the prestige cabin
Jeez I know I was wrong but you need to take the stick outta your ass, buddy. If you can’t handle acronyms like “idk” you need to throw your computer in the garbage and live in the woods or something
Like it or not, engineer is a regulated title in Canada and is only allowed to be used by licensed individuals. He could have just said “I have an engineering background” and been fine.
This is what Ukraine needs. Expensive high tech weapons are great, but against an enemy like Russia, inexpensive high volume of fire is really important to maintain.
King Charles of Canada makes a rare public speech calling for aid from the Commonwealth to support Europe in defending against the US. It’s broadcast on Canadian TV....
Considering one of those 2 is across an ocean and the other bumps right up against our most populous areas, I think the choice is clear. Even if the US was objectively the bad guys I would rather we just roll over and surrender than try to fight an army that large
A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.
I wonder how many senators think all porn is hosted on pornhub. It’s comical how it’s the most legally compliant and ethical porn site out there by a mile, yet it still gets targeted by every pearl-clutching legislator
They were not knowingly hosting CSAM and revenge porn, they took quick steps to lock down the site and strengthened their verification procedures when they found out.
You’re really using a Breitbart article as a source? Also this just points to an overloaded review system, which seems to have been fixed since then. Did you even read the article or did you just glance at the inflammatory headline?
I can guarantee that most other porn sites don’t have a review system at all, and they’re chugging along business as usual.
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
It’s a movie made for space nerds, and if you aren’t a space nerd I can understand not enjoying it. Part of what made it so amazing is just the black hole simulation, no one had ever rendered one that accurately with such high fidelity.
This is one of the things that killed the unpopular opinion subreddit, and made Reddit in general so annoying. The upvote/downvote is not an agree/disagree button, it’s for promoting valuable discussion and hiding the opposite
I’m all for safe injection sites and other harm reduction strategies, but it seems like BC stopped there instead of going the extra steps to address the underlying causes of drug addiction
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...
Sterile medical supplies already are packed in a paper bag. The ones that are in plastic actually aren’t.
Uh… What? Sterile medical instruments are absolutely packed in plastic, paper is too permeable and will lead to contamination. Even if it looks like paper it’s still lined with plastic. Have you ever worked in a medical setting before?
New data reveals Canada's senior population is expected to exceed 11 million people by 2043. This rapid rise in the number of older Canadians will have wide-reaching implications on sectors such as health care and employment, with experts sounding the alarm that Canada is not prepared to handle an aging population.
Don’t worry, the most populated province in the country re-elected a government that spends all its time making stupid decisions and then backtracking. Maybe we can get around to building more LTC facilities in 2026
Say what you will about the writing, but I would have paid double just to see that level of CGI fidelity. My jaw was on the floor for so long my mouth got dry
The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.
You should go back and look at how much you’ve put into maintaining that leased car, and make sure to factor in cost of gas versus electricity. Could be $7-$10k over 5 years. Also be real, how often are you driving more than 250 miles in a single trip?
Ah yeah, no home charging is basically a deal breaker for EVs because that’s eliminating one of the largest benefits (always having a full tank). Unless your workplace has charging I think you’re better off with a used ICE.
Also that little maintenance sounds to me like you might be breaking the terms of your lease agreement, they usually stipulate that you have to follow the recommended schedule.
TikTok and YouTube shorts are brain-rotting garbage, and if you use them regularly you need to stop now. Yes, even if you claim you only watch educational stuff.
Also giving a child under the age of 8 or 9 a personal internet-connected device should be seen on a similar level as neglect if not full-on abuse.
I got a used pixel 4a for $160 last year. I don’t really care about being on the latest android version, and security updates will keep coming for a few years at least
World was already the biggest by far when I first started lurking back in July, and it’s just getting more dominant. Before, there was quite some diversity in the distribution of generic communities, but nowadays the vast majority of posts that reach the top are from over there....
Maybe it depends on where you live, but I’ve told off a few people I’ve worked with over the years when they said something awful. Only 1 got really defensive and angry about it, the others were just older guys who needed a reminder to change their vocabulary and were apologetic.
What benefit is there to allowing the sale of cigarettes when there are much safer nicotine delivery methods out there? If you want to roll your own you could still do that if this were to pass
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
Civ 6 is almost a completely different game from 5 and is super fun. It regularly goes on sale for pretty cheap, I would highly recommend you give it a second look. Plus the only DLC you really need is gathering storm.
The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it's time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.
Is it just me or has Global News really taken a turn to the right in the last few years? Maybe not as bad as NatPost, but still I thought they used to be more neutral than they are now.
Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.
