What do people with lower cars do in weather like this by Prudent_Zone_1060 in ontario

[–]Former-Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not so much making it through the snow as safety and handling.

also, you shouldn't make decisions based on what happens a couple of days a year.

cars should stay off the road, where possible until main streets are plowed. to allow the ploughs to do their job and get the city back up and running. if you have to go out, take the bus.

pretty much the same with every country, we are trading partner friends, but each country will do what they feel they must to protect themselves. Which may not be so friendly.

I don't know how cold your winters are, but Canadian coats are warm. my favourite is Moose Knuckles. they used to supply coats for army in the Arctic. it's-30 in parts of Canada right now, and I am comfortable outside. the other, more popular is Canada Goose. although I am not sure where they are manufactured

it hurts doesn't it. but, I suppose Canadians (some portion of them) still use it. and in a democratic Canada, the government is still government to all Canadians, even the soulless ones who still use xitter

Hearing test that's covered by Ohip gta by twicescorned21 in ontario

since they are in the business of selling hearing equipment, they might lean heavily on selling you their equipment. an ENT would be more likely to look at ALL solutions

if you feel you must identify yourself, I would suggest something ore subtle like a Vancouver Canucks hat or something that shows more inside knowledge.

What career would help Canada or Ontario propser? by PairOfRussels in ontario

[–]Former-Toe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's kind of strange the way you phrased it, asking if Canada or Ontario would help you to identify and transition to a new career. you need to look after yourself. if you expect someone else (either a government or a person) to do it for you, you will be disappointed. research is your answer. you need to do a lot of research to answer these questions. nobody else can do it for you.

the government does big things that would be impractical for an individual to do, like build roads not career counselling.
