lol when I went vegan I used a lot of meat substitutes to get me over it. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good though!

Urgh, it makes me wonder why people do videos like this and think that Poilievre is going to be able to “fix” all this.

Then again, yeah, if it’s propaganda it’s just about sowing doubt.

Wow that was a great informative post! I didn’t realize there were so many stateless people.

I didn’t think that was an “agreed upon” thing. I thought that’s what the big deal with Shamima Begum was. Seems like a nightmare.

You could have depression if this video applies to you: https://youtu.be/XiCrniLQGYc?si=zhW2zJmjXl8Rb0lT

Nope. My message doesn’t indicate that it is an ongoing issue. Not sure why you’re asking me for proof either.

That’s rather infuriating. I thought I heard stories about this and how certain food banks had to restrict students because the abuse was so high. Apparently it’s a “tip” that’s been passed around to international students.

Here’s just an apropos of that, but one of the earlier companies I worked at in Canada was a Software Consultancy, like over 15 years ago.

Companies would and did reach out for things like a competition to enter and we’d have to code it up. The typical way it “used” to work was the big shots get a lot of money and they get a bunch of fresh out of UofT or UW grads to work hard to get it done.

Well, guess what, they screwed the pooch on this competition. For some reason, they rejected or didn’t collect ANY of the email submissions that were valid. So they couldn’t even pick a valid email to declare the winner. The company was furious and said, this isn’t our problem and we’re not going to manufacture a winner. So what my/that company did was it did log errors for invalid emails. They basically chose a winner from people that wrote invalid email addresses. I can’t remember but it was something like person@example.co.m. Why did they not do client-side and just relied on server-side? I don’t know. I wasn’t directly on the project. Anyways, they gave the prize to someone that did a typo.

To supplement this comment, I googled things:

Using the phrase “begs the question” to mean “raises the question” is a common misuse of the term. In academic and professional writing, “begs the question” actually refers to a logical fallacy where a statement assumes the truth of the conclusion it is attempting to prove. To avoid confusion, it’s best to use “raises the question” when you want to indicate that something prompts or suggests a question.

An example:

“Vintage furniture is better than new furniture because it’s usually made from real wood.”

This statement relies on the assumption that real wood is the superior material for furniture. However, nothing in this claim explains why that’s the case, so it begs the question, “What makes real wood better than other materials?”

I don’t understand the Mike Tyson reference though.

People retiring? Remote work?

It’s really sad that it’s ripping up communities in small towns though. Housing is just ridiculous.

If you poor people could just do more and survive on less but still somehow spend just as much, then the employers would be fine. /s

My friend’s dad was a doctor in Saudi Arabia and before being able to become a doctor in Canada he would have to have done like a 2 year program that involved him going to other provinces and stuff. His dad apparently didn’t bother going through with it and just went back to Saudi.

grr, I hate you guys. You make me feel so disorganized! Why hadn’t I thought of this type of thing?
