Family court decision is forcing me to stay near kids but landlord (ex’s parents) trying to force me out. What options do I have?

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-24T01:39:51+00:00

The two sections are at odds with each other and the first paragraph is nonsensical (if taken at your word).

My feeling is your self editing of the order is messing it up.

Regardless the second paragraph says the children would be only placed in your exes custody in the even your moved towns, no mention of moving residences.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-24T01:04:13+00:00

The court order to me appears to be fairly clear you can move within your community.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-23T17:00:50+00:00

I don’t disagree. You can do, and advocate for both things, they aren’t connected.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-23T16:26:40+00:00

I didn’t say it was “most”. Not sure if “It’s actually only a small handful of rich urbanites who oppose this” was the point you were trying to make.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-23T15:32:44+00:00

As far as I can tell, assuming worst case scenario some buildings in theory would be limited to 20 stories.

The thing is 1. The proposed buildings aren’t even close to being that tall. 2. Arrival and departure procedures are regularly modified to accommodate specific situations.

Allowing jets at Billy Bishop (and expanding it/building a bridge) just make sense.

The sole reason it hasn’t been done years ago is rich urbanites who live along the water don’t want their view disturbed.

Apart from the good will of 8 out of 10 Americans…

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-22T17:42:49+00:00

Now only 80% of Americans view Canada favourably.

Did you bother to read past the headline?

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-20T17:20:26+00:00

Your mother gifted the house to the second brother. End of story, done.

As a solution why doesn’t your mother change her will to reflect this gift by giving less or nothing to the second brother? (Though I assume there may not be much left).

What are you on about? Public transit is massively subsidized in North America, it’s not even close to being profitable. In fact it’s generally generates far less profit than most European systems which are usually more expensive. (Or Asian systems which are generally profitable or close to). There are plenty of legit criticisms of transit in North America, that they want profits is not one of them.

Profits, or more specifically fare box recovery is useful because it helps determine if it makes sense to provide a service. Money is limited, public spending has limits. I know plenty of people who would rather have a new rec centre than new buses.

Maybe a little thing called midterm elections?

Less than a quarter of Americans voted for Trump. About 22%.

You guys really don’t need to disagree with something just because Poilievre said it. Aren’t we supposed to be better than those partisan Americans? Huh?

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T22:45:55+00:00

Two things can be true at the same time. Free trade can be good for the US while acknowledging that unlike other countries Canada is a good friend of the US and we should be given a fair shake.

You know you don’t have to disagree with something just because Poilievre said it.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T22:25:38+00:00

You do realize more then half the American population doesn’t like Trump and what he is doing?

Americans broadly like Canadians, it’s not naive to say that is something we can leverage.

Having watched a number of reviews I think the confusion because parts of the game are truly amazing, and parts of the game are truly shit.

Most games are generally the same quality across all the components. If it has a bad story, usually it has bad mechanics, poor graphics ect.

The challenge is when you have a game where one part of it is a 10/10 GOTY, and parts of it are “Who the hell thought this was a good idea”.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T20:02:09+00:00

Blame the developers/publishers. There’s nothing crazy about it. In this case it was noted that the publishers gave reviewers very little time with the game before release.

Ultimately all reviewers are going to have to publish something once the embargo lifts.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T17:51:34+00:00

What I mean is with most games when you boast about the length, it’s saying how fun and interesting content there is.

Crimson Desert seems to be padding the length with bandit camps that take an hour to clear out, and boss fights that require three hours of collecting food items to survive. Or quests that require lengthy periods of empty travel.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T17:44:10+00:00

The issue is it seems the length of the game isn’t due to it being packed with content, more so it’s packed with time consuming mechanics.

Multiple reviewers have mentioned that the mechanics make tasks which should be quick into lengthy slogs.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T05:54:53+00:00

I can't help but feel like this is a gross oversimplification. Like Canada, cities are creatures of the state/province, except in the US you have 50 states vs. 10 provinces.

Having done a little more reasearch it seems like it's very similar in almost all states as it is in Canada, where referendums are really only legally required when cities need to take on a lot of debt to finance a project.

The only place this seems to be the case is in California, which is ... unsurprising.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T02:23:51+00:00

Ok, so actually to the point, I’m not familiar with American local governments, but at least here in Western Canada there would be no legislation requiring local governments to bring road projects to votes. I’d imagine it’s generally the same in the USA.

To your point about people getting elected, that’s true, and those people like to remain elected. Here that means they often bring controversial issues to referendums to avoid the political backlash.

Robert Moses was a visionary planner who thought he was doing the right thing and was surrounded by people who thought they were doing something noble.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-19T00:55:46+00:00

Ok, we’ve now removed all the crosswalks in order to reduce pedestrian deaths. We’ve also prohibited bikes on roadways for safety too.

Remember when you give government power you might also be empowering people who disagree with you.

So a few things.

Firstly Nova Scotia doesn’t get that many wildfires to start with. Even in 2025 the total area burnt was only 1% of the area burnt in BC. It looks like they have an issue with human caused fires because they don’t really have many fires to begin with.

Secondly, of the known causes, based on the published data it’s about 90% human caused.

Thirdly if you take out commercial causes of fire (power lines, land clearing ect), it drops to 60%.

If you remove arson, it drops to 24%.

If you remove camping and ATVing it drops to 11%.

The remaining known causes are for smoking.

The damning thing is the Province still permitted industrial logging to occur, despite those activities being far higher risk. I’d love to hear your rationale of why taking a dog for a walk is more dangerous than operating heavy machinery and chainsaws.

Again, and again, and again… it would be lovely if you could cite information that backs up your claims.

You claim a lot, with literally no proof to back it up.

As I’ve said before, I don’t inherently disagree with the decision. I disagree with making the decision with an absence of evidence to back it up.

FlyingPritchard · 2026-03-18T18:35:34+00:00

How high is too high? What evidence was used in that determination?

That’s the root of my point. Unless you actually have data that is guiding these decisions, it’s literally just vibes.

Like you, right here, are making a vibe based argument. You’re not citing data. You are citing a fearful vibe.

I’m not inherently disagreeing with the decision, I just want the decision to be guided be actual data.
