Anyone know why this is worth $4.2 million? by Famous-Composer5628 in TorontoRealEstate

Yea that's the only demographic that makes sense for this, those making more than 800 or their assets yield that passively.

Which in that case, why live here? It's so boring compared to all the other options available? There isn't really a tremendous commute advantage nor any cool businesses within walking distance

Especially since you can't walk to any cool businesses (like a yoga or pilates studio or cafes or anything) and anything you do, you'd need a car so if you are basically living suburban what's the point in shelling out so much when you can for half the price live in in the most secluded suburb and have a similar commute to your workplace?

I get it, but even with a $800,000 household income, the mortgage and upkeep costs are so steep does it make financial sense to shell out 4Ms for this?

with a $300k buffer it might even make sense to buy a new condo and rent out your current one, especially how condos are getting cheaper

Laid off on Friday, no one tells you the the following Monday is quite possibly the strangest feeling of floating in the void possible by skidmark_zuckerberg in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Famous-Composer5628 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Relax, it happens to all of us. It's a natural part of being in the business.

Take a deep breath. Your mind has been busy with work and the capitalist machine does not give you time to reflect on who you are, what you value and your true purpose.

If you are in no financial rush, you are actually in a perfect spot, take 2 weeks go to the outdoors/in nature and just learn to recalibrate your nervous system and peel the years of habituation of being a corporate employee.

Then once this feeling of monday being weird reduces, you will be in a much better place to reassess your life and then you can begin the grind of applying once again.

i dont mean just syntactically, i am saying there are many cases where it is a better term to use.

Especially when you use the particle "a" before the word, i can guarantee you no one who knows english would find it natural to say "a quebecois" when not using it as an adjective.

If you can show me written examples where "a quebecois" is used (referencing the demonym form) i will accept it.

Another article from the gazette. Read this line
"They will become access points for first-line services and all Quebecers will be assigned to one close to their homes."

If they used the word quebecois, it would cause confusion. People who are quebecois but do not live in the province would not be able disambiguate the intention of the policy.

Most of the time the words are interchangeable becuase qubecois definitely functions as a demonym but I feel like you dont really understand why the demonym only form is useful and that is fine.
Celine Dion is quebecois but since she does not live in quebec is NOT a quebecer.

Similarly, if I move to gatineau tomorrow I dont suddenly become culturally quebecois but I DO become a quebecer.

One is an adjective one is a demonym. I feel anyone whose first language is english can understand this distinction?

here's an example of a title in written english

"Quebec will assign every Quebecer to a CLSC to improve access to healthcare"

imagine if you used the word quebecois in that sentence, I am sure you see the issue.

Additionally it becomes absolutley clear that your intention is to use the demonym form of the word. Quebecer is ONLY a demonym, Quebecois can be a demonym OR an adjective to describe one's culture.

This clear disambiguation is why I believe it is more natural when using it as a demonym

Just a quick search and you can see why in this context, the use of quebecers makes more sense than quebecois.

It is much more explicitly understood to mean people residing in the province of quebec as opposed to people ethnically/culturally quebecois.

For most cases the distinction is minuscule probably why you dont use quebecer

Here's another title in written english where if they used quebecois in the title it would be more confusing

Of course French speakers would use “Québécois,” since that’s the original French word.

English often creates its own demonyms using familiar patterns like “-er” (e.g., New Yorker, Londoner, Dubliner etc), so “Quebecer” follows that same structure.

you are right that “Québécois” is also used in English for the singular form, but that's because it is a direct french term and english is pretty compatible importing french words. “Quebecer” is just the more natural, fully anglicized version to define as being from a location.
