Also the cost of starlink is well known, I looked into it and found it to not be affordable for our situation myself and decided against it. It’s a few hundred for the equipment itself and then I believe at the time it was around $140 a month.

Universities make money hand over fist, not sure they need any more public funding. They tend to have more administrators than professors and teachers and it just seems super wasteful.
Technically most of the fires in Canada happen up in the north where it’s dense spruce and pine conifer stands which don’t turn into your typical “old growth” type forest that you picture from the movies. Stands that are hundreds of years old will burn almost just as easily as a decades old stand. Forest fires are a natural part of their life cycle.
The typical “old growth” forests that are fairly fire resistant are found in the coastal rainforests which don’t typically see much fires as it’s pretty rare in the damp and humid environment.
Where do votes from abroad get counted? Last state you lived in? State you were born in?
Why allow rental rate hikes instead of allowing the tenants to purchase the building dirt cheap?
They would if they paid more.
If you aren’t finding employees, offer more money, don’t look abroad for people.
If you need to increase your prices to afford it, then increase your prices
If your restaurant doesn’t survive because people think it’s too expensive, that’s the free market.
Of course if the right situation were to arise, if it’s either conscription or Russia somehow takes over Canada who would choose the latter?
Depends where you live. In BC you would probably report it to the BCCDC.
Corvids like Crows, ravens, and magpies/jays are very susceptible to West Nile virus and are often indicators that the virus may be spreading in an area. If you find a dead Corvid you should report it so that the corpse can be tested to see if it died due to the virus.
There’s not much you can do personally other than avoiding mosquito-prone areas and wearing proper clothing.
Municipalities and other governing bodies can implement mosquito control programs though if residents feel they would benefit from reducing the mosquito populations. WNv isn’t a huge threat in Canada yet, it’s much more prevalent in the United states, so most mosquito programs up here are to control them for nuisance for more enjoyable summers, tourism and business, outdoor labourers and farmworkers, etc.
I work in mosquito control and it’s a pretty safe product that’s used, no aerial spraying of chemicals in our area it’s just targeting the larval stage of mosquitos by applying a bacteria which kills pretty much only mosquitos or black flies. Leaves everything else untouched.
Places like roadside catch basins can produce a lot of the mosquitos that transmit WNv, just sampled a townhome complex the other week and found that pretty much every one of their 30 catch basins were producing over 1000 mosquitos, likely on a weekly basis for months.
If you feel a mosquito control program is needed residents need to contact their municipal or regional representatives to get the process started. You may already have one going as well, where you may be able to get any stagnant water on your property treated for free (depending on the program). A lot of people don’t even know their city has a mosquito control program, even ones which have been going for 20+ years.
I don’t have anything for scale but something about this man makes me want to say 5’8" and overcompensating.
Not sure why they are being shipped live in cargo in what looks to be an incredibly small box made of… Cardboard? Styrofoam?
Looks way too small for that many eels. Should have a better and larger container at least.
I was at the airport that day, too bad I missed it ):
But I’m already boycotting Telus because they’re a terrible service and company
I guess I’m not his target audience, I haven’t seen a single one. I don’t watch cable tv, read the newspaper, or use Facebook though like old conservative people.
It doesn’t cost anything to have less people. It costs lots to build houses and infrastructure to support those people.
It’s important to have proof, but it was pretty silly to ask in this situation where it’s pretty much impossible to prove.
It’s an outdated expectation but shouldn’t be an outdated goal.
No one should need to work after 65 years of age if they don’t want to.
There’s hardly any chance of that happening nowadays though.
It’s unfortunate that we can’t limit water by litres, so for a family of 4 put a limit of say 100L or something. People do still need to drink and cook unfortunately.
Alrighty, I live in BC. Next pandemic I vote we close the road passes to Alberta to anyone not vaccinated.
