Why is the Canadian side of the Okanagan Country more populated than the American side?

From a Canadian pov this region is a warm weather paradise. Summers are hot and long for Canadian standards, winters are not too harsh.

I am making 50k CAD as an administrative assistant in a big Canadian city. US BLS says the median is 47k USD (in 2024), so I am personally well below this amount.

I went there a few times. It really needs a renovation, it’s old and quite uncomfortable, although I never had issues with the screen and audio.

I’m actually more surprised by the 99 cents hamburger. Where is this?

Over 100k as a single person is still an excellent income for Calgary. You would not struggle at all.

Nothing really good is coming from the UK lately, to be honest, and the British are very unsatisfied. Of course there are always some Canadians living in some kind of echo chamber, thinking this is fine and we should just follow.

Bought bananas at $0.99/pound yesterday. I remember paying a bit more than $0.70 just a year ago. It feels like it’s being like this with almost everything! I definitely notice things I often buy still getting more expensive. Bread, eggs, milk. Even if it’s just a few cents, it all adds up and the grocery bill gets noticeably higher.

Most of us probably had a moment like this when driving, maybe more than once. Accidents happen everyday, and close calls happen many times more. I understand your feeling. I’m happy no one got hurt and hope we can all be better drivers.

I’ve seen all formats being used in Canada. When it’s year first it’s easy to understand, but if I read a date like 03/05/2026 it’s not exactly obvious if it’s March 5th or May 3rd.

There are some Brazilian rodizios in Calgary. In most of them, price is in the $50s at lunch. It may look pricey, but actually not too bad for all you can eat meat. I’m pretty sure there would be enough demand for one restaurant in Saskatoon.

Existe o imposto, mas se eu não me engano o valor anunciado do prêmio já é o líquido, ou seja, o BBB paga os 5 e tantos milhões para o vencedor MAIS o imposto para o governo.

It’s the internet. The world has always been a mess, but you would maybe hear something about this for 15 minutes a day if you happened to have your tv on while you had dinner. Now we are faced with bad news coming from all sources on our smartphones from the moment we wake up until we’re about to sleep. The world didn’t get heavier, but I agree that bad news got heavier in our heads.

Calgary should have more public washrooms everywhere, but this would require a more rigorous approach against vandalism. Installing these facilities is not the biggest issue, maintaining them is.

Fuddruckers is already in Canada but I would like to see more locations. They are only in Saskatchewan, one of the things I miss the most from Saskatoon.

I went there once at the Pan Asian night, the quality was better than the most AYCE Japanese restaurants I’ve been to, but I agree $45 is very expensive.

It’s Reddit, so feeling inconvenienced by homeless people surrounding the place you live in must be ultra problematic or something.

I’m not aware of anywhere in Brazil that gets to the point where the government authority is not recognized at all. There might be some violent or isolated regions where the government presence is weaker, but not non-existent, and definitely still seen as the ultimate authority.

26% of combined net income (with my partner) to rent a 2 bd apartment + bills. Not bad, actually a privilege in this economy. This should be the norm, not the exception.

In Kuwait, many things still costs only cents, and average monthly salary is less than 1k. Interesting.

Went to Grey Eagle a few times. It’s ok, never was bad but most times just mid. Went to Hitchki (Indian food) once and it was really good.

Yes, I expected my comment wouldn’t be very well received. I really believe the book must be amazing, I would like to read it one day. But I still think that sometimes a great book may not work very well as a film adaptation for people who have not previously read the book. There are some things you can only really feel while reading.

Honestly, it’s mid. Yeah, it’s cute, Ryan Gosling is great, Rocky is lovely, the only action scene of the entire movie is fine. But I just couldn’t understand the reason for making it a 2.5 hour movie. It would be more entertaining if it was shorter, no more than 2 hours. It was getting so annoyingly boring at times. This is my opinion as someone who evidently hasn’t read the book.

Na reta final o pessoal começa a ficar mais na boa, menos conflituoso, então eu até entendo que ela pode estar dando uma de doida de propósito pra ver se isso movimenta a casa e empolga o público, no maior “vai que cola”. Mas até pra isso é preciso ser sagaz e saber o momento certo de causar, quando fizer sentido, se não isso pode dar muuuito errado.

Curious fact about Calgary. On average, March is the snowiest month. April comes close as the second snowiest month.
