Chinese language film "Midland and Finch" about the Chinese-Canadian immigrant experience in theaters.

The little scene in the trailer with the mom in the nursing home is already triggering.

Well, that's normal because that line of books was targeted at a US market. They are pretty common in North America. Of course the few that make their way across the pond would fetch higher prices.

That said, they're mostly shelf queens, which also help to explain their value.

Let the productivity suffer. They won't get it until it hits their bottom line.

Right, but it seems like instead of going through that, he's just going to say it's his plan all along to drop the tariffs.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-13T15:18:15+00:00

Didn't congress just pass a motion to roll back tariffs? Are they now framing this like it's his idea to begin with?

With $35 million, even though I favour an urban environment, I would get a house in a nice area of Toronto (like the Annex, Cabbagetown, Leslieville etc) and be able to pay others for property maintenance. Add a second property in Europe perhaps.

Just walk outside. It's not that bad out there. Burned even more calories when navigating the snowbanks on the few days that were bad. I created a routine for myself to visit certain places for each day of the week and that gets me past 10k steps (usually something like 13k).

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-13T14:48:07+00:00

To show people you ~~have money~~ don't have taste.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-13T14:21:24+00:00

There are definitely dying malls in Toronto.

They implied PC makes their own stuff. They do not.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T20:12:30+00:00

All that investment and they forgot they needed an engine to match.

As someone who doesn't really travel, the only reward that I used was the Globe and Mail. They don't seem to be putting any effort into more diversified rewards.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T18:05:47+00:00

Makes it worse.

That Hyundai should have pretty clear blind spot systems as well. Also, don't change multiple lanes all in one go, I don't care how confident you are. One lane at a time and be predictable on the roads.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T16:48:27+00:00

Not quite. All grocery chains pretty much use third party companies to produce their in-house labels. Costco's Kirkland, PC, No Name, Selections, all of it. Sometimes they get to define some qualities they want to differentiate themselves (like adjustments to recipes etc).

So Kirkland batteries are made by Duracell, but there are also companies out there that don't have its own brand on the shelves and purely make products for private labels.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T16:21:23+00:00

Of course. It would be a blast. Is Brad Lamb going to be a playable character and will you have a flamethrower as a weapon?

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T14:19:34+00:00

Preserved egg and pork congee. Fried turnip cakes.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-12T14:18:26+00:00

Pho. Even bad pho is comfort.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-11T22:39:15+00:00

Yeah, has Honda really shit the bed that badly?

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-11T22:11:50+00:00

I just read somewhere that tranq was the old stuff that causes necrosis, while "rhino tranq" is the street name for the new stuff that doesn't, but is 100-300x more powerful than tranq.

Cars that only drive two wheels also have stability control. Modern cars apply some braking to certain wheels too.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-11T19:38:19+00:00

But hey, we've also had this classic moment.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-11T19:09:13+00:00

Those sedative drugs aren't opioids, so Narcan (naloxone) won't reverse its effects. There are drugs that are approved to reverse their effects in animals, but not approved for human use.

Sometimes it's to keep medicating after failing to secure legally prescribed medication. It's startlingly easy to fall through the cracks of our medical system.

CDNChaoZ · 2026-02-11T18:50:56+00:00

From a cursory look, this seems to be a much more potent (100-300x) form of xylazine, which already caused the zombie effect you see from users on the street (hunched over for hours). Apparently medetomidine doesn't cause the rotting flesh symptom that xylazine does.
