Count Roland posted:A friend of mine just moved up north as a doctor, and so is seeing some of this stuff first hand. In a conservation we had about the issue generally, I wondered how much could be done when the home life of many of the kids is a horror story. Crowded, filthy conditions, where drugs and alcohol are everywhere. Then throw in rampant violence and sexual abuse. Even if you had an amazing school system, and a mental health and medical system, and access to resources and extra curricular activities, and anything else-- how could you recover from the initial trauma? Is "White dudes need to stop trying to be the saviour and let the First Nations figure this poo poo out" a total cop-out? My personal thoughts on the whole issue are similar to what you've posted, but I also feel like all the problems among the First Nations stem from well meaning ministries myopically trying to help in the way that's trendy at the time. The risk is that they don't figure it out and we lose the remainder of cultures we have left.

Their hashbrowns also taste like real hashbrowns. I used to think it was too dry but they either changed up the bun somehow or I had bad luck the first couple times because now it's way better. And yeah, much better than the McMuffin.

McMuffin sucks so bad compared to the A+W setup with the bun. And their hashbrowns are loving huge (and greasy). Still, not as bad as the Burger King croissanwich which is a mess of crap.

Seriously though, for 3 bucks it's worth saving the time it takes to clean up after making my own breakfast sandwich, let alone cooking it before I have to get out the door. I only have maybe 3 a year, but I regret none of them.

If you don't have time to make your own breakfast or lunch you are doing it wrong. As part of adulting, google that millennial failures, you should have a schedule that includes buying the items, and preparing the food you eat yourself.

Thats over a grand worth of sandwiches a year. That's actually quite a lot of money for the majority of Canadians. EDIT: the bowl of instant oatmeal I have in the morning costs far less, is much healthier and actually less time consuming than the sandwich.

Yes, if you eat it every single day, which nobody has so far proposed. "You should never get a breakfast sandwich because three dollars" is just ridiculous.

Singh checks off enough NDP policy boxes that the claim from some that he's some closeted Liberal comes across as a bit silly to me, though his position of shifting to means-testing for certain programs is a significant enough policy differentiation from the historical NDP positioning that it requires a much deeper explanation than he's given. quote:https://www.straight.com/news/943141/ndp-leadership-candidate-jagmeet-singh-gains-traction-bc-showing-hes-warrior-heart I'd appreciate a more policy wonky explanation of why he thinks universality is not the best approach for certain programs. Unfortunately I doubt I'm going to get a sufficiently deep explanation before the vote, but hey here's a big fluffy Macleans article about the way he dresses.

I go through a drive-through every time I drive to Winnipeg or the Cottage which is like twice a month maybe? Other than that I eat a custom home prepared egg white, turkey bacon and cheese sandwich every morning along with 49 slices of avocado toast.

I don't care what food tastes like so my breakfast consists of a mixture of chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground flax seeds, and sunflower seeds left to soak in a small amount of water overnight. In the morning I add yoghurt to it and half an avocado or some fruits for taste. While I eat I make an instant coffee and I'm out the door in less than 10 minutes. It's healthy. I don't get fat. And I'm not hungry till lunch time where I eat a meal I bulk cooked on the weekends. For a small Sunday afternoon time investment and 5 minutes of effort every night prior to the following morning I am loving set as far as meals are concerned. I will still skip this process and get an egg mcmuffin combo from time to time but only to shake things up. I save about 300-400 bucks a month thanks to this. Not everyone is as spartan or health crazy as me so this won't work for all.

Oatmeal and a coffee for breakfast during the week. On weekends it's time to go big on breakfast which is usually one of two meals for the day so it's stuff like eggs over easy, or burritos, or omelettes, and sliced potatoes with garlic and spices and it's amazing. Or french toast. Or apple pancakes. A big rear end awesome breakfast is a great way to start the day on weekends. Although once in a while I'm up and raring to go super early so it's a quick self made egg and cheese sandwich which is still way cheaper, healthier, and faster than the ones you get made for you.

Yeah, I've tried bulk meal prep but it reminds me too much of growing up poor when we'd eat the cheapest protein plus the cheapest vegetable for a week straight because mom didn't have time (or, I suspect, energy) to cook most weeknights. Not having a working freezer didn't help. I did, oddly, develop a taste for liver. Definitely jealous of those who have the discipline, but "eat different things" is a luxury I indulge.

Risky Bisquick posted:Breakfast is a brainless meal you can take and go, at the very least stick to buying lunch or second breakfast. Yes, and most mornings that I eat breakfast at home vs work that's what I do. When I want a breakfast sandwich periodically I go spend the three dollars. Nobody is advocating making it a daily activity, especially not if it is a meaningful financial burden. Chasing a 9-year-old around in the morning constrains cooking, unless she gets up early enough to make herself scrambled eggs. (Of course, some days I grab a power bar and apple for breakfast, which probably also costs three bucks.)
