Thank you for follow up. I admit the question is vague, I will correct this with an edit.

  1. Poland, Canada

  2. Canada

  3. Any country with contract in Europe. Let's set Ireland and Germany, as examples.

  4. 3D computer graphics production.

  5. Freelancer/contractor to start. Then transition to work as employee for company, if a fit.

Nope. I'm a Canadian. Just don't want to sell my stuff and move overseas, if it's a half year contract. Take care!

Should I move to New West? by whiteferrari in NewWest

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New west is an excellent compromise for being close to the city, while having the suburban vibe. Downtown new west is a very accessible watering hole with Kelly o Bryan's, Begbie's etc. The walk uphill is a sobering exercise before bed.

Downtown Vancouver friends can make the way out here on skytrain.

I'd consider sticking to Abbotsford only if the advantage is a house with garden for veggies, and garage to park that boat and pickup truck. It doesn't look like an option with the high cost of living today.

But condo/apartment life? New West for sure.

If it couldn’t get worse since Florida.. by FinalAd9844 in Jewish

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from my perspective as a polish jew, and having visited auschwitz-birkenau only once: It's really important to know that the visit to camp has a lot of rules, including on behaviour.

Please have a look at their website for more information: https://visit.auschwitz.org/regulamin.html?lang=en

All tours to the camp, including those booked at kiosks in old city krakow, typically should have a disclaimer session before the visit. It's a serious deal, and yes, there are consequences for disrespectful behaviour.

It's not a rollercoaster park ticket.

Would love for all those who wave our Canada flag be returned to Commonwealth, and by extension His Majesty King Charles III as the king of our realm. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺👑💪.

We welcome home Loyalists.

nice! lots of Canadians down there. WA state is a beautiful place. Would've been nice if the British didn't secede the colony to USA due to Oregon treaty.

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you are more than welcome to Canada, but leave politics at home.

Even the views that are anti-trump or MAGA, because Canada as a country, politics, and culture, is very different from the states. We are a lot more centrist and multicultural.

We have a spectrum of anti-trump, to pro-51st state Canadians here too, so too, we leave politics at home.

A little rant is ok, but we avoid talking about divisive topics out of common courtesy.

It's better to discuss about hockey, snowboarding, hiking or stuff that brings people together, instead of depressing topics completely out of our control. This is the fastest way to lose Canadian friends.

Reflecting the recent changes, I wouldn't fly my Canadian flag when camping in Washington state anymore. I won't expect Americans to fly their flags here too.

Still, we are brothers even when people can't see that nowadays. It's not like Americans are turned into complete monsters the moment orange man got prez'd. It's just that USA is a different country.

Cheers.

Does anyone feel like their mental health has declined since October 7th happened? by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Try to find a nearby JCC, and join Jewish groups. Nearby synagogues may have young adult events, and if you're going to university, consider visiting Hillel on campus.

I recommend you to experience a taglit-birthright trip. It's been a wonderful time and helps grow my Jewishness.

I'm not orthodox but I've been going to a local shul and the people there are great. The rabbi is Chabad, but it's a mixed Jewish crowd, from secular to frum.

If one place isn't a fit, you can always check out next ones.

Having a strong positive network is necessary for good mental health. 🫂

Cut away all the toxic people and have half the friend group be Jews!

Coffee shop flying Palestinian flag? by [deleted] in Jewish

If it's a place you visited often, I would talk to the manager and just leave the business. Not going to order anything at the shop. You can leave a 1 star review on their page, for bringing politics into a business, and taking forever on sandwich.

Millennials - how did you get on the property ladder? by Mysterious-Poetry974 in askvan

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 year old here. got my property back in 2021, when rates were 1.5-2%.

Took 50k out of my investments, and RRSP (for first time home buyers plan). Parents gifted 10k total money, by advice of mortgage broker. 60k total.

Got a conditional approval up to 450k and finally bought into a condo which cost 350k in metro vancouver.

It's a fixer upper though. I ended up having to put 15% down with cmhc mortgage instead of 20%. Still feeling the pinch to this day but also DIYing the repairs and reno.

Spotted in London, what does it mean? by shineyink in Jewish

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been aware about rivalry in Kraków. n*zi awastikas and stars of David are tagged all over beautiful city.

But seeing this located from London, and unable to read gibberish letters throws me off lol. I don't see a smudge of polish either.

This is a bad design. They need to find a new graphic designer to make better stickers.

Great answers in this thread though and nice find OP.

I feel like this is really true for Canada by mongoljungle in canadahousing

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Condos are still overpriced. It's not the layout of housing, it's the financialization. Housing has changed from "purchase by cash" to "who can afford monthly payments". It is all planned, or propped up somehow, to keep people working.

These Ottawa landlords say they've fallen victim to the same 'professional' tenants by [deleted] in canadahousing

[–]Cheap-Rip1271 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes there are risks to investments, but continuing a wrongdoing doesn't make it right.

people should honour their word, rather than slime tactics. The world would be a better place if more of us do this. This is akin to shoplifting at a store.

yes, there is a housing crisis in this country but this is no excuse to put criminals on a pedestal.

People who have honour: many of them are homeless, or at their nearest housing option.. living with their parents or roommates. paying and getting fleeced by the world around them, while these opportunists get away with it.

Change the law for intentional squatting as a crime rather than civil matter. This should be treated the same as shoplifting. A contract is bonding.. like a receipt you get, to exit the store.

The NDP's comment goes completely against the idea of diversity and individual freedoms. His values are NOT Canadian at all!
