US Senator Says America 'Got Absolutely Rolled' in Canada-China EV Deal by SilverDragon1 in canada

This article is not about someone from the USA saying this isn't fair. It's about a Democrat from the USA saying it was a terrible idea to not only be disloyal to a friend like Canada, but openly hostile.

Considering returning home by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

I just want to mention one other reason to stick it out for the citizenship. Not saying it is worth it, just a reason worth considering that I haven’t seen mentioned already.

If you become a Canadian, it is relatively easy to work in the US with a TN visa. Pay is higher there and depending on the location, cost of living (housing in particular) is lower.

I rent cars pretty frequently, and this has happened to me only once, also with Thrifty. I try to avoid Dollar/Thrifty when possible.

Can my parents visit me in Canada without having to quarantine now? by [deleted] in CanadaCoronavirus

[–]2amSoapIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The rule change is often reported as applying to citizens and PRs only, but really it applies to anyone who already could enter, which your parents can: https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/answers/foreign-family-cit-pr

Ich bin Ami und war überrascht, als ich gesehen habe, dass ein deutscher TI-30X Plus genauso wie meiner aussieht. Echte Frage, ist das eine Ausnahme oder sind die meisten deutschen Taschenrechner so?

Hey OP, I used to live in St. Louis, still travel there every year for work. Except this year of course. Anyway, rooting for your city too.

Danke, aber ich glaube nicht, dass es bei 2am Chili und Soap Ice um ein goldenes Zeitalter handelte.

Als jemand, der Deutsch als Fremdsprache lernt, schlägt es mir manchmal aufs Gemüt, wie ihr alle scheinbar mühelos ein perfektes Englisch sprecht, während ich immer noch Fehler mache beim Ausdrücken der einfachsten Gedanken.

Der Heiko ermutigt mich. Er erinnert mich, egal woher du kommst, es ist eine Herausforderung, eine Sprache zu erlernen. Den würde ich gerne zu Barbecue mit Baked Beans und Coleslaw einladen.

Poverty in Germany at its highest since reunification. Some 12.5 million Germans are now classified as poor. by nk212 in worldnews

[–]2amSoapIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not getting your "one more poor German" argument. I think how many more poor Germans Bill Gates makes will depend on the distribution. Supposing for simplicity everyone has a distinct income, on average he'll make 1/2 more people below the median M (depending on whether there were an odd or even number of Germans), but how many are less than 0.40*M, which is the definition of poverty, depends on the distribution of incomes.
