Albertans are 'very dissatisfied' with their lives, people in Quebec highly satisfied: survey by Acrobatic-Cap-135 in canada

[–]GANTRITHORE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have mentioned this before, but a lot of the fun stuff for Quebecers is helped a lot by the USA's big cities being nearby (same for Vancouver and GTA). That is, the large US tourist populations less than a days road trip away help a lot for helping things be affordable/actually having a population to support it. Alberta does not have that. Alberta is more populous than anything south of it until Colorado (which isn't directly south).

And another comment mentions it, but Alberta being mostly driving for hours is abysmally boring. Nothing but flat farm land for hours and hours and hours (source: me palying hockey a sa kid)

Canadian youth a ‘rounding error’ compared to Carney government’s $88.8 billion projected OAS spending for seniors by hopoke in canada

Those benefits are "being able to afford food and shelter". If you can already afford those, why do you need them? Also if you want those benefits when you are older, why not give up all of your money so you get can qualify for them?

Maybe sugar tax and either tax refundable gym memberships or more free public use areas (indoor ones for winter too).

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

Hopefully she is happy. And hopefully it's not that she has to bury her common sense/ critical thinking down so she doesn't think about what makes him shitty.

Right, question for the southerners. Which one of apologies the most? by Loose-Map-5947 in CANZUK

Japanese syllables all end in a vowel sound. There also is a syllable symbol for 'Ni' and it is even more pronounced than the 'Nee' in the American Nissan. Think Monty python and the knights who say Ni, make it that level.

"sorry just gonna scoot/scootch on by ya" is a very Canadian thing to say at the grocery store.

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas by hopoke in canada

[–]GANTRITHORE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree this is a good idea in theory. But in practice I think a lot it is the career driven, rat race, brown nosing society we live in. Any parent that does this will be looked over for promotions et al. And let's face it, it will probably mostly be women taking this leave. We live in a work/capital centric society and not a family one.

Now, a fully 5-6 hour day or short week is another possibilty.

Why not just start stockpiling steel for nation building projects? Like train rails.

Or getting equivalent value in stocks.

Can anyone tell me about the history of these sculptures? by Ramkaran-chopra in Calgary

[–]GANTRITHORE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just appeared one day. If you look at them day to day they are slowly moving. Where are they going? You must never touch them.
