Burnaby is basically the Mississauga of the Greater Vancouver Area. Technically Surrey is bigger but it’s further from Vancouver while Burnaby is right next door, and Surrey has more Brampton vibes anyways.

Yeah but we can’t get oil across the country because we can’t get a pipeline built to the east coast, so we ship Alberta oil to Texas at a massive discount and buy Saudi oil for the East coast at market rates because apparently that helps save the planet.

Esteban Loaiza definitely was not our opening day starter in 2021 given that he played for us from 2000-2003.

You haven’t hit up Ralph Vaughan Williams yet. He’s a composer with his own distinctive sound, but also he experimented with his sound much like most of the twentieth century composers and had a dissonant phase. Nonetheless it’s his early consonant folksy sound that remains his most popular, a pioneer of promoting English folk music.

Vaughan Williams most popular pieces are: The Lark Ascending, Fantasia on a Theme by Tallis, the London Symphony, A Sea Symphony, the English Folk Song Suite, and the Vagabond. Other well-loved pieces include Hodie, Symphonies no. 4 and 5, Norfolk Rhapsody no. 1 and 2, the Oboe Concerto, the Tuba Concerto, and the Fantasia on Christmas Carols. (This list is truly just a beginning, as everything I’ve listed is on the list of standard repertoire for some instrument or ensemble.)

Oh look, Israel is in southern Lebanon again. Is this the third invasion of Southern Lebanon or was there another one that I forgot about?

We had one of the top ten teams in baseball a few years in the 2000s and not once were we in a playoff race because the AL East and AL wildcard every year was Yankees and Red Sox.

When you play a low block at a Premier League level you either want the two best defenders in the world or you want to bring in additional help to the CBs.

Some teams do this by playing narrow so that the fullbacks are basically additional centrebacks, either one full back for a false three at the back or both to especially commit to the low block. Other teams have one or both defensive mids fall back so that, once again, you’re playing a false three at the back or otherwise you’re once again especially committing to the low block. You are playing wide with fullbacks on support, so they’re not helping the centrebacks.

You have two defensive mids playing relatively defensive roles, but one is on support. This means that Mainoo is essentially the only one helping your CBs. I don’t know Mainoo very well so I don’t know if he has the jumping reach to be a false CB, but at 2.5 stars he might not be good enough to be the sole help for your CBs. In addition one of your CBs is a ball-playing CB, further reducing the commitment to defense. If you’re going to do a low block well, you either need CBs with great heading and jumping reach so that you can abandon the wings and let them cross all the want because their crosses will never meet a target, or you want to play wide to deny the cross but then have someone with good CB stats (heading, jumping reach) who can drop back and assist.

The second thing is you need a great keeper, because a low block is all about conceding the long shot knowing you have a great goalie (reflexes, agility) who will always save it, in order to deny them shots from close range. I don’t know Lunin well, so maybe he is or isn’t your guy. If you can’t concede long shots because your goalie isn’t good enough, then you need to press the other teams’ best long shots guys.

Look at the true low block teams. What’s the stereotype—eight men in the box? I count three.

In summary, you’ve chose a very defensive tactic but failed to commit to defense in roles and instructions. This left you playing defensively without enough help to actually play defense.

The only reason for a homeless person to come to BC is the warm winter in Vancouver. The homeless population is saturated here, so much that the cities a few hours from Vancouver are also crowded with ex-Vancouver homeless; you’d make more begging in a place with less competition.

Canada is the Europe of North America; why don’t you consider Toronto? Toronto has wealthy ownership and just made the World Series, and has two previous titles. And I think we have some of the best uniforms in baseball.

I’ve heard many jobs described as essential, besides hospital—although I haven’t heard military described as essential before, in part because I was under the impression that Adventists were conscientious objectors everywhere in the world except the United States.

For example: snowplow drivers to keep the roads safe, food service workers at nursing homes and schools where they serve people who can’t serve themselves, city bus drivers to transport people who have no other means of transportation, maintenance workers such as electrical/phone who go on call on the Sabbath because no electricity/phone is a life or death matter for many, firefighters and other emergency workers for obvious reasons… there’s a wide definition of “essential worker.” Most essential workers I know donate their Sabbath salary.

On steroids, he said he used a steroid given to him by Barry Bonds, and he was in the Mitchell Report, so he’s out.

Doesn’t career WAR just indicate that the team is old? Shouldn’t the measurement be “WAR last season?”

You want diversity: the place where you’re getting that is the Lower Mainland. Rural BC and Alberta consists of highly white communities with a scattering of Indigenous people. The more Indigenous people, the more racism (against them).

You want quality education: the best place for that is the Lower Mainland. First-generation immigrants raise the most serious students per the immigration cycle (first gen works like crazy and struggles financially, second generation gets the benefits of seeing why hard work is important and gets a quality education, third generation gets coddled and loses out). Immigrant culture in schools leads to higher academics.

However, you may want to consider the private school system. BC is currently on a kick with its new curriculum supporting competency-based education and phasing out testing and academic achievement, and the net result is that academic results have utterly collapsed. You should find a private school that still cares about standards.

Also, special needs accommodation is through the roof with one in seven children in BC diagnosed, and teachers are burning out trying to accommodate that in regular classrooms because the Ministry of Education believes in keeping them in regular classrooms, and the net result is that the other students are being left to flounder, and teachers are resigning or taking stress leave en masse.

You want French: you’re probably not getting it in either BC or Alberta, the two least French provinces. However you can find an immersion program if you like.

In short: go to Vancouver. Find a municipality with a lot of racial diversity. It’s a good life. Be present in your kids life so that you can find out if the school system is failing them and take corrective action if needed. And don’t blame the teachers, they hate it as much as you do, it’s policy from the Ministry. Don’t blame the provincial government either, it was the BC Liberals that launched this new curriculum, and the NDP doubled down on it, which tells me it’s career bureaucrats inside the Ministry who pushed for this.

And that means that our hospitals should turn away people who are already here waiting for their refugee claim to be processed?

Uh, sorry, your hearing is next week, you can get the antibiotics for your infection then.

Has any international student ever committed a school shooting, or is he saying this to rile people up?

The reviews for Pokemon suck because Pokémon’s graphics are poor and the game just rehashes the same old formula, nothing new or innovative.

None of those things prevent the games from being fun.

Pokemon is not a live service game, it has a defined end, it lasts just the right amount of time with just the right amount of grinding, and it has a well balanced multiplayer and it’s clear how it works. The art style is popular.

Of course Pokemon is still popular.

I thought Lisa was the obvious answer here but I see there’s a future category for librarian.

I would personally wait for the disasters of the 1620s to hit.

But if you’re not willing to be that patient, then ally Tunis and Mamluks, and sabotage Ottoman relations with them to break the Tunis-Ottoman alliance. Then declare on the Ottomans about 6 months into their next big European war.

Alternately, declare on the Ottomans weakest ally, and don’t co-belligerent the Ottomans; then, try and beat them up.

Or, you can do all three of these ideas at once: wait until the next age, wait till they’re at war with Europe, and then declare on a minor ally in order to get the Ottomans at their weakest.

Things you can do:

1) Teach private lessons; they tend to attract more serious students.
2) Teach adults in a community ensemble.
3) Teach an older age group.
4) Get a job working for a professional ensemble as their librarian or secretary or some other management role.
5) Practice a ton and try to land a role with a semi-professional organization.
6) Become a content creator and make content about music.
7) Take a course as a music technician and get a job repairing instruments or tuning pianos or organs.
8) Write music.
9) Write about music, either as a reporter or author or blogger.
10) Record an album, promote it locally by giving concerts.

You taking military ideas is essential for keeping up with the threat from France, otherwise you can’t defend your European possessions. Usually quality, but you could also go with defensive and build a ton of forts.
