So is there a map of settled land claims in BC whereby they could route the pipeline around non-indian act land? This whole pipeline approval thing is just ludicrous to me. Why are they passing over land that was not ever settled with the Government of Canada? What do they expect the indigenous people to do, just cede their claim and let corporations use their land against their will :thunk:

On the topic of food, has there been any recent news on the impact of American dairy getting dumped into Canada? My brother said that his local grocery store has been flooded by American dairy products and the only way to really fight their surplus is to make Canadian consumers aware of which products are homegrown and which are imports.

I don't buy USDA eggs that somehow make it to my store under the same brand.

I missed something on my Dougie rant yesterday. It seems the OPC also eliminated the six month grace period following graduation that froze OSAP interest paid to the province. You still got charged federal interest but you had six months grace where provincial interest was deferred. Well that's gone now. You get charged full interest in your student loan the minute you walk out the door.
Next thing you know he'll be loving over the repayment assistance progra-oh wait he did that too. He dropped the threshold from 35k to 25k so if you make 25k a year get ready to start making loan repayments.

I may have been a little overzealous with my original post.
Yes. Spain has its problems. But like one of the other posters said sometimes it’s fun to trade one set of problems for another or explore the idea of a different set of living circumstances.

I should underline that I do have friends and my life isn’t a disaster. But I’ve been so frustrated with cost of living and certain circumstances that when my family finally insisted I take a vacation from my stressful job I felt like I had an escape.

Still- climatewise I’d prefer Spain hands down. And if I can secure a transfer I would happily explore the opportunity just to get away for a bit and do something else.

That said you guys went way too hard with the whole rich white person schtick. Spain has the same problems any other country has but its still a 1st world country that delivers a reasonable quality of life.

There is absolutely no reason to get belligerent and poo poo on everything the moment someone is having a good time. The entire thing could have been explained more politely.

Hablas Espaniol though? Personally, I'd choose Portugal like* the Brits, they are clearly onto something. Oh Portugal is all about :420: so you have WEED parity.

Every benefit people get for having children should be given to the childfree as well. It's like a cigarette break.

I mean, assuming you're not ill, disabled, or have mental health issues, I generally agree.

Kids are ridiculously expensive on their own, and make working incredibly difficult. If you're a single parent with kids under 5, daycare alone is ~$900 per child. If you have a low enough income to qualify for a provincial subsidy, that may go down to ~$300 per kid. Once your kids are in school, if you want to work 9-5, before and after school care is ~$200-300 per month per child. You're also dealing with a lot more sick days, and you can't work jobs that require you to do anything but a normal 9-5, since finding off-hour or overnight childcare is sketchy as hell unless your family steps up.

Yes absolutely.

Daycare in Toronto starts at 24k out the gate, maybe trickles down to 18k a year towards the end. I'm lucky that I don't live there and paid $14k from 2yo-4yo for my children. However, I'm on the hook for another 26k in daycare coming up. Outside of regular costs, don't forget to budget 50k per child minimum for school assuming they live at home and commute

3 kids: 78k daycare, 150k university :suicide:

I was going to make another witty response but Id rather take this as an opportunity to remind people to donate to your local food banks. Its guaranteed that the one nearest you is desperate for either cash or food donations and its one of the easiest and nicest ways to help your community.

Not changing the status quo cements the LPC/CPC status as A/B parties, and prevents upstarts from gaining any traction. Convincing half a riding to switch from their party of choice to your new no name party is difficult, but getting 2-4% of the popular vote is possible/easier.
