Yea, I don’t get why the poor supporting conservatives who would cut all the social support programs that the poor needs.

Start seeing this “both sides are the same” followed by “may as well just stay home” posts which ring like the cons bots/ trolls astro-turfing trying to swing the election for conservative. Happened in usa and now it’s happening here in Canada.

I’m not going to be one of those usa voters who decided to vote for Jill Stein because “Democrat is not perfect”. They (along with those who couldn’t even be bothered to vote) are partly to blame for the second trump regime. Canada sovereignty is at stake. Our way of life is at stake in this election. Until we got an electoral reform to replace “First Past the Post”, I am going to continue to vote strategically against conservative. pierre and conservative win will be a nightmare for Canada because they cannot be trusted to put Canada and Canadians over usa, billionaires and corporations’ profit.

NDP is dear and near to my heart but in this coming election, I’m voting for and donating to my local Liberal candidate.

Alberta and Saskatchewan are the sunniest provinces in Canada. If they embrace solar energy, they could be the Solar Capital of Canada.

But, think of those poor, poor big oil CEOs! /s

This is a good point. I do tend to get my vaccine shots (Covid and flu) on Fridays to account for recovery days.

Me too. So please everyone go out and vote on April 28 (or early poll if you wish). Go to Election Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx) and make sure that you are registered to vote at your current address.

If you have older relatives and friends (50+), do remind them that we have shingles vaccine: Shingrix.

Personally, I’m glad that joe rogan refuses to come to Canada. Just go to russia already.

My riding is a conservative stronghold, but I’m still going to vote for my local Liberal candidate. As soon as Election Canada received my local Liberal candidate’s nomination application, I’m planning to scrape together some funds and donate to them.

1. The parents are equally shitty, and/or,
2. By the time kids reach teenage years, they will mostly listen to social media than parents. They will live their lives on social media and thus, acceptance and opinions of social media “frens” matter more than their parents.

I am a P. Eng. in Ontario, Canada. It’s “Professional Engineer” license. As someone else has mentioned, you can be a mechanical engineer, a software engineer, an electrical engineer etc and a P. Eng. The requirement for P. Eng is passing an Engineering Ethics exam, receiving an engineering degree from accepted universities/college (doesn’t have to be a Canadian school) and completing an certain number of years of Canadian engineering work experience (ie. the work must be qualified as engineering type work, and must be in Canada). Now, I received my P. Eng more than a decade ago so the rules may or may not change.

Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) is our organization which regulates the exams and licensing. It is also a sort of watch dog which ensures that engineers are ethical and don’t cut corners. PEO also provides networking (they may organize a plant tour or conferences etc) and volunteering activities for engineers. We, engineers, pay annual fees/dues to PEO but if you work for an engineering company, your company may pay your dues for you.

I hear you. I don’t go to stores often either nowadays. Just to get my weekly groceries and every 2-3 weeks, I’d go to Home Hardware or Canadian Tire.

This may or may not help you, but what I do is: store my reusable bags with my shoes, so every time I reach for a pair of shoes before I leave the house, I could also grab a bag.

I have been using Organic Maps and I have no complain.

I worry about this: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id but from the website, it seems that many states id/driver licenses are “REAL ID compliant” and you only need it if you fly domestically or wanting to access “certain federal facilities”.

Stay safe, friend.

I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?

This. I personally have no plan going to usa now and in the future. Unfortunately some Canadians may still have to go for work related trips. Just be aware that you may or may not need to register in the new “Alien Registration Requirement”.

My checked luggage used to be searched when I went to usa. I knew it was searched because tsa would leave a pamphlet inside my luggage saying that it was searched. I believe they have stopped leaving such pamphlet but I won’t be surprised if they still search luggages.

I would love to play felon a song but couldn’t find my microscopic violin.

And France (Saint Pierre) I think? Thanks CBC Gem!

Yes NIMBYISM of the rich. They want all the profit, don’t care about destroying the environment for profit, don’t care about polluting the air, the water, the soil through their fossil fuels extraction, as long as we don’t ruin their views. Tax the rich.
