Mainly this, alongside a cost of living crisis not unique to Canada. Other concern is there is some animous towards immigrants as poor immigration policy is a part of why housing is where it is. Sadly, I’m not sure I’d feel welcome as an immigrant in Canada right now (perhaps more so for Indian/Pakistani immigrants, but still).
Avoid Canada, or at least Toronto/Vancouver. Country is not in a great state atm.
I certainly hope someone got fired for that blunder
Hello, I am not interested in buying your house. But I would like to use your restroom, dig through your magazines, rearrange your shelves, and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner.
HA! NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!
No idea what season, but I’m pretty sure this immediately follows “whoa, windows! I don’t think I can afford this place.”
Holding in ur poop
Potentially HOVER! on the ol’ Windows ME machine iirc.
Age of Empires 2 also comes to mind.

Just a slimy middleman taking a cut of every transaction and trapping people in debt. But a bit of a tragedy of the commons because merchants raise prices to accommodate CC fees and the rewards are hard to pass up.

Bro it’s petty revenge time. [Company name] needs to see these messages and asked if this is representative of their company values.
One of my greatest pet peeves is random folders appearing in my home folder. Thanks for this
I was referring to Brian Sinclair, which was ages ago now, so tbf that is out of date. Hopefully some policy changes have been made since then.
Still using “at least we’re not the USA!” to excuse a dumpster fire of a healthcare system, as we have been for years.
It is important to note that there isn’t a “Canadian” healthcare system, per se. It is largely a provincial jurisdiction. So while Manitoba sees outrageous wait times, hallway medicine, nurse shortages, and people dying in ER waiting rooms because they don’t have a GP, I can’t speak for every province in the country.
Anecdotally, my experience is… OK. I’m lucky to have a family doctor that I’ve had since childhood. That said, I’ve moved multiple times since then, and I haven’t been able to find a doctor in any of my new communities, so if I ever need to see a GP, its an hour drive back to my hometown.

If they require a name: either Santa Claus or Whatsit Tooya (what kind of ridiculous name is that?)

Fuck 'em, never give them a thing. My favourite thing is when I get to give info like this to a real live person, we always get to share a giggle.
I’ll be the musician - it seemed to go OK for Shostakovich
Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is pretty sour, and bootlicker gas… tastes pretty good!
“Plunging”? I call BS, isn’t lava way too thick for that?
