As a Canadian I’d really rather US Americans were not aware of us at this point in time

Assuming he didn’t do it (he didn’t), he’s taking the fall for a saint so that’s saintly on its own imo

are you sure we can afford this house, it’s 75 whole dollars!

For real though, my friend lived in the two bedroom upstairs apartment of a former single family house for about $2000 CAD a month and when browsing old newspapers online, I saw that the house was selling for the modern equivalent of $250k CAD in 1980. This is a SFH in the downtown area of what is now a 1.5m metro area… the house would sell for >$1m now

I’ve found it’s kind of a gamble on whether you have a cool manager or not. I have “unlimited” vacation and a chill manager and tend to take 5-7 weeks off a year which is quite high for a mid level programmer in Canada.

1906 or earlier from what I can see from historical rental listings in our local newspaper

It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital

Yeah… I wasn’t actually learning a whole lot. I live right across the river from Quebec though so I’m hoping to move over there to immerse myself in French a lot more.

I’ve always been bitter because my whole Dad’s side of the family is Francophone but never bothered to speak the language with me :(

I just gave up Duolingo at 1770 days for French which hurt to do. I was mostly just maintaining a streak at this point and with the news of them using AI to replace their employees (even if they retracted it), I decided to quit.

I’ve switched to Babbel now which has been really good so far

I remember cutting my hand pretty good on one of the old metal beyblades as a kid. I loved those things

Fair point. I wouldn’t want to subject anyone to that

New York should just become Southern Ontario

Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews

Right? They have a terrible rep but they’re pretty fair in my experience. The only time I’ve angered one was when I stepped too close to take a picture of her babies and she did this grass filled mouth hiss at me like a cat. Which to be fair, is fair

Yeah I kind of believe that NA would work better as a bunch of smaller countries in an agreement similar to the EU. I say that as a Canadian who’s politics aren’t as much a dumpster fire too

He’s just trying to get our CDN back to an equal level with USD :)

I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again

How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]

I’ve never watched him (I hated him when he would just scream at video games) but he seems to be a lot more mature these days. He even posted a video on why you should switch to Linux recently

I asked OP to update the title in another comment which they did (and appreciate) but it made this comment of mine confusing 😅. The original title didn’t have any mention of which country. It just said they were adding a paywall

The original title just said something like “BBC is now paywalled” making it sound like it applied to more than 1 of the 195 (worldometers.info recognised) countries in the world.

I’m not British but it’d be pretty alarming to hear that the BBC was adding a paywall that applied to the British if I was British
