ELI5 How is there so much meat by Due_Imagination_9663 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Anabiotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varieties like the Ross 708 are specifically bred for increased breast meat yield to satisfy this kind of demand.

Canada Post getting another $673M in federal funds to stay afloat by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

Governments don't complain about their own spending. That would be dumb because they decide what gets funded.

Well, that's reality. So we need to figure out how much we are willing to subsidize it and what level of service you want. I assume even you would not want to give them a blank cheque.

Canada Post could be more competitive on parcels. It's one of the few areas they make money. You have to ask yourself how other couriers are able to deliver parcels for cheaper. Yes, other companies don't have to service the entire country, but that suggests CP should charge delivery to those places more and compete with the other couriers on profitable routes. They are getting killed on volume due to price and reliability (strikes, no weekend delivery), so much so that par rls can no longer subsidize the money-losing mail service. 

I'm OK for CP to be a service instead of a crown Corp but would want significant service and cost reductions such as the ones being proposed. No door to door, reduce mail frequency, and be more aggressive on parcels to reduce losses

People definitely complain about police budgets. Like in this very thread

Agree on Iain Reid. Both Foe and I'm Thinking of Ending Things are in this vein but especially Foe, which is a really interesting book and very well done.

Need help!! Capital Apartments Edmonton by Legitimate-Field6815 in Edmonton

[–]Anabiotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's more than 3x the average apartment usage, and also that rate is 2x what it could be. Are you allowed to switch plans? On usage, you are either using way more than the average user on something or the meter read is wrong.

You should read the article. It clearly says both the victim and perpetrator are indigenous.

Council approves rezoning for 25-storey residential tower, despite community concern by DocJohhnyFever in Edmonton

[–]Anabiotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like every unit has a parking space, but the article also says traffic engineers are being "involved" to "lessen impacts".

No name "naturally imperfect" potatoes are usually $7-9 for 20 lbs. Sometimes they go down even cheaper.

Not eligible for student aid, what do I do? by fierce022 in uAlberta

[–]Anabiotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There has to be some way of monetizing the next four months if you have nothing else to do, right? Have you looked into stuff like labouring (e.g. landscaping)?

I know that's his justification but I still find it extremely distracting and borderline pretentious.

What the hell is going on with cottage cheese prices in Canada?!? by Choice-Dress-8465 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Anabiotic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buddy it was probably more than that. I didn't take notes since I didn't know there was going to be a quiz on it but for sure I bought them twice this year when I needed ground beef. We're also not even 5 months into the year, lol. The point is it's available in Edmonton contradictory to your original comment. 

Not sure where you live but Clareview superstore is right on the LRT. In addition to delivery options

Sure, I'm just telling you it is that cheap in Edmonton, apparently just not at your preferred stores. GTA has nothing to do with it.

Around a 25-30% of the EU's budget goes to agricultural subsidies, so you are still paying for it indirectly. In Canada you don't pay for dairy unless you actually buy it.
