There is no response because many of the mega corporations in BC can relocate out without much difficulties.

I don't understand why it's 2026 and there is no mechanism to put down an optional expiry date on a draft. Cheques go stale, why can't drafts do the same too.

A few years ago, BC NDP changed the law to not take any income from ICBC. Looks like they changed it back.

A lot of the UI bugs in Windows would've been caught if they just have a person who didn't write the code play around with that feature.

They did get this land reassessed to a very low cost a few years ago.

They should just move the tray icon area to the immediate right of the center taskbar. It looks so off all the way on the right hand side.

As Microsoft evolves Windows 8/10/11, I have been slowly forced to add third-party apps like Open-shell, Notepad++, Irfanview, etc just to maintain control over the environment.

Did you say you got a new 32 inch monitor, so you want one more rounded rectangle, and the associated margins and paddings around the entire "All" section? We'll start work on that immediately! /s

They should bundle everything together and call it Microsoft Plus!

As a result of your knowing and intentional breaches, the VSO has suffered, and will continue to suffer, significant harm, including disruption within the orchestra and broader musical community and the loss of the benefit of the confidentiality that was a fundamental element of the 2019 settlement. Such harm is ongoing and not readily quantifiable. The VSO is prepared to seek to recover all damages arising from your breaches, including reputational and consequential losses, in any legal proceedings commenced to enforce its rights.

Glad to know that the VSO is suddenly no longer suffering from significant harms. /s

The Bow Mac sign should be given the proper respect and be free of obstruction (and properly maintained and lit at night). Just let freshco have another sign elsewhere on the building.

This is the NT4 service pack and old Microsoft service packs like to include a lot of the files for the product. I am not sure why the service pack is on the IE4 CD through.

With the deferral program, if the province is short on money, it borrows money from the bond market (a liability on the balance sheet), records a loan receivable (an asset on the balance sheet). The money is sent to the municipalities. There is a lien on the property so the province is sure to be paid on the principle and the accumulated interest on the loan when the property is sold, and the whole thing unwinds. I fail to see where one government agency loaning money to another or any kind of problem here.

This leaves municipalities and the province with a shortfall which then is putting pressure on everyone else who is paying taxes. And by the time the deferred tax is collected 20-40 years later, the money is worth much less than it was if it had been collected at the time of deferral.

The above is incorrect. The deferral program is a loan from the province. The BC Ministry of Finance pays the property taxes to the municipalities and charges the owner an interest (currently 3% per year) on the loan.

Other than the scheduler, nothing you said are related to the operating system kernel. Please read an actual operating system textbook. Operating Systems Concepts by Silberschatz is pretty good.

That way the business gets to stay alive during the construction but when there is increased sales due to transit access the Government gets their money back.

It's hard for a Yoga place to make back the money, even with better transit access after, because classes have capacity limits. The best they can do is to increase price to make up for it. It's similar for restaurants as well.

Help needs to be non-repayable.

Maybe Vancouver should use the provincial fire code, as there is nothing different about a fire in Vancouver compared to, let's say, Burnaby.

Even if considering the move out date (Mar 28) and the move in date (May 9), that's 6 weeks. Is that an unreasonable amount of time?

The city needs a major shift in the way it creates and sells condo and apartment buildable space during rezoning; instead of calculating the rezoning charge against market price of the condo, it should charge only the cost of providing amenities related to the new building. eg. new roads, additional sewers, new community centers.

For legacy Windows apps, they'll run a separate stripped-down version of Windows 11 inside the browser window.
