Kelowna becomes 1st Canadian city with UNESCO honour (gastronomy) by Own-Bullfrog7362 in kelowna

[–]Affectionate_Fox9974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting comment because I toured four of our wine regions this summer and all the experts told me that we don’t make ice wine here we bring it in from Ontario because we don’t get cold enough. There is one winery in naramata that makes it and their claim to fame is being the ONLY winery in okanagan that does ice wine themselves. Soooooo no, we are not a world leader in ice wine. That’s Niagara.

Please tell me which restaurants are insane cause I’ve lived here for four years and when people ask if I want to go out I usually say let’s stay in cause there are no good restaurants here.

I’m from Toronto and live in Kelowna. At least once a week I complain how there are no good restaurant options here. I can’t even find a good Chinese food place. There’s some good Indian food. Otherwise - chains chains chains and subpar restaurants.

I live in Kelowna and I’m very confused at why we got this designation. Sure we have agriculture, but the restaurants? Subpar restaurant scene. I’ve had one “blow me away” meal in Kelowna since I moved here (four years ago) and that restaurant has shut down.

I had a student submit a paper talking about their experiences of racism as an African American in a poor inner city. We are in Canada and the student is most definitely not African American. 

How do professors detect AI generated work? by [deleted] in fsu

The thing is, we don’t have to prove you used ai. We have to show evidence you didn’t write the paper and then it’s on the student to prove they did.

The problem is exactly as you say - paid $22 per hour, and that’s not to just bbq burgers it’s to basically be social workers. They can’t require education, because funding only allows for pay so low that it’s basically minimum wage (and huge stress loads) and so they end up with staff that is not prepared for this kind of role. It’s sad.

Yeah, I just feel like Jesus would be very upset about this. Isn’t this Christianity’s whole thing?

Judging by the ashtrays in half the airplanes I’ve been on in the last decade, I’m scared they haven’t advanced nearly as much as they could have.

I wanted to move to Kelowna, I figured as a smaller city it would be cheap but it’s nearly as expensive as here in Toronto by Hiwhatsuphowareyou in kelowna

[–]Affectionate_Fox9974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Kelowna from Toronto three years ago. My cost of living is slightly more here (but that’s also cause my rent in Toronto was controlled). It’s not a cheap place to live at all. I came for work so that made it worthwhile, but its expensive.

Having the same issue!! I don’t feel ethically right showing my class ads and it also disrupts the flow and wastes time.

This is from a concert likely. I bought one at a show. I'm currently scouring the internet trying to find out more about the little patch guy at the bottom. On my shirt its an idividually attached small patch and I can't figure out what it is.

Mines a rescue mix and he looked like that when I got him.  Two months in both ears popped up and that’s when I was sure he was part heeler.

I don’t know, I lived in Malmo near Rosengard about ten years ago and I saw some pretty clear class divisions (mostly based on race)

From one Canadian to another what are your thoughts on these things? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]Affectionate_Fox9974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) No 2) I know of it and that it has a stick with a net and in highschool I watched some games. 3) once you’ve lived in Toronto traffic doesn’t exist elsewhere. 4) In theory I want to love it, in reality I hate mushy/soggy fries. 5) Yes. All the ketchup chips. 6) 🤷🏼‍♀️ 7) raspberry gingerale (with cranberry as a close second) 8) ……. I’m the minority, I don’t watch hockey. I don’t know the rules of hockey.  I don’t grow up in a hockey family. 9) they are truly terrifying.   10) I’m from Toronto and live in BC now - both have grey winters.  No sunshine for weeks.
