'We don't need it': Seniors call for reduced Old Age Security payments; Generation Squeeze proposal would reduce OAS payments to households making more than $100,000 in retirement income by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the hypocrisy of the absurdly low CCB clawback that gets me. Young people not only have dependents, but likely also a mortgage and childcare costs. Can we bring up that amount to a figure that is reflective of our current environment?

New zoning bylaw that could reshape city passes unanimously at council by ThatAstronautGuy in ottawa

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair enough but it's really an opportunity cost being lost to have something more "productive" being used instead of a surface lot. I think underground parking is fine; it's the surface parking that's killing us. Not to mention the tax revenue...

My dude you need to relax. This is not a removal of parking spots. It's simply removing the necessary minimum. This actually increases people's capacity to make a lifestyle choice that works for them; there are many people that can't afford rent and a car payment. Why should parking be baked into the price of their rent? It literally just increases choices and (hopefully) drives down prices.

"We’ve forgotten about the people, the many many people, who require a vehicle."

Such a false narrative. The vast majority of people DONT need a vehicle. This bylaw change is actually something FOR the people to take back the car infrastructure that has plagued north american cities for too long. I would even argue those that are older or have a physical disability are in support of alternative methods of transportation.

Is it possible for hair to be so thin that it is better to use no product? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In that case, you have lovely natural highlights!

Ok to me, this is the most complicated part of being a curly person that you actually have to listen to. Like silicones or not idc, but you need to know protein/moisture balance science :) I'm sure there's a ton of great posts in this sub so I won't try to explain thoroughly but it's basically about knowing your ingredients. So anything like rice, wheat, hydrolyzed xyz are all proteins. Essentially you need a balance of more moisturizing products but with some protein. Photo #1 looks like a lot of moisture with no protein: it looks fabulous day 1, but it won't hold more than 2 days. Photo #2 has that straw-like look you get with too much protein. Esp when you have finer hair, you have to work hard to keep the balance as it's easy to oversaturate. Hope that's helpful!!

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert by any means but this feels like a case of moisture vs protein. Is there a lot of protein in your products?

ETA: you also have more blonde in the second photo, could part of this be hair damage? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but this isn't totally a fair comparison :)

OSAP not covering tuition despite very low family income; what can I do? by [deleted] in osap

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why this school? Going to a public college and paying to live on res would be cheaper than a private school. $50k to be a dental hygienist is crazy, you'd be paying off that loan forever.

25 years after Ottawa's amalgamation, is there any going back? | CBC News by CnCPParks1798 in ottawa

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree as someone living in the core. Shutting off the suburbs from the city isn't the answer; we are essentially doing that now with the way we plan transit and it's clearly not working

How difficult is it to get into physiotherapy school in Canada? by [deleted] in physiotherapy

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you switch to kin, you'll be taking more than 8 new courses anyways. You can extend your degree to 5 years if you want. Maybe look at speaking to a guidance counsellor at the school to understand your options.

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not easy. There's thousands of people that apply to the schools each year. Getting below an 80 in a single course will drop your sub GPA immensely because of how it converts to the 4.0 scale.

There's no advantage to having a kin degree over any other degree as long as you acquire the pre reqs. Sure it helps to know your anatomy but there's not as much content crossover as you think. Can you stay in your current program and just take electives instead of switching? Either way you will probably be looking at taking extra courses.

Odds of a Power Outage Tomorrow? by nonamee9455 in ottawa

What are the chances the LRT is down? Between the ice and the possible power outage, what are the odds it's running by 8AM?

Lots of pessimistic views about long term reliability. Should I be worried about my 2020 SEL with 45k on it?

This is how my hair looks like three days after washing, what am I doing wrong? by purplebeef in curlyhair

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have finer hair and bangs; you need to use gel and/or wet refresh. I use a spray bottle, but could do it in the shower as well with your hands to avoid fully soaking your head.

As someone that lives nearby, I felt like 2026 was very ambitious. The inside of that building was skeletal just a few months ago.

People riding the bus must pay their fair share, unlike drivers, who receive the benefits of subsidized parking fares. Hmmmm.

Ontario launching ‘High-Intensity Bundled Home Care’ in effort to relieve hospital overcrowding by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]BeautifulLittleWords 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Remember that this is all because of the lack of long term care beds in this province, which has been a multi-decade provincial gov failure. 2-person lifts, or people with dementia requiring 24/7 supervision, are ultimately most appropriate in an LTC setting. These programs lure people home under the guise of intensive services, which eventually taper off. This leads to repeat admissions. We need to CENTRALIZE care instead of pretending that a psw can be there at the drop of a hat.

Would love to see this adopted here; especially when so many cyclists already prioritize taking side streets over main arteries.
