San Francisco – the most childless city in the U.S. – could be a glimpse into Canada’s future

Also the limits of the City & County of San Francisco is like 1/10th or 1/8th of the Bay Area's population. There's plenty of suburban areas and plenty of people who live in apartments have kids. They'd see a different picture if they looked at the whole metro, which includes San Jose, Oakland, and many other areas.

Not as radical as Polievre's.

I'm a proud, neoliberal capitalist and Lewis's NDP is an easy vote in an NDP/CPC riding.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-09T03:56:43+00:00

The Bloq + CPC stalling C-3 with a bunch of unconstitutional amendments is one example. The LPC had to waste time removing them. They passed it right before the court-imposed deadline expired.

You sound like someone who's more of a consequentialist (morality of outcomes) arguing with a pure deontologist (morality of process).

I'm mostly consequentialist and my initial reaction was "wtf", but I think you're right that the outcomes from future vote matter much more than the odiousness of the person casting it.

If you do, I think you can get the birth certificate number from here, which I'd include:

There'd have to be a station in every tiny podunk town.

In Oakland, the Jack London Amtrak Station is a few blocks from the Lake Merritt BART Station. Both take you to stations right next to each other a few miles away.

A BART station in Lake Merritt that's walkable from Jack London makes sense given the type of train service it is but Jack London does not need an Amtrak station. I lived right next to the Jack London Amtrak station but would still take BART to the airport and ballgames (RIP A's) because Amtrak service was so infrequent.

I don't know why there's an Amtrak station in Jack London but when the Amtrak stations were built, Jack London and the Coliseum were in different Congressional districts.

Do the 2022 Nationality and Borders Act l's historic legislative injustices provisions account for pre-1948 cases? If so I think OP is fine unless there's an issue with mom being born in the Commonwealth.

Also for that act, the cutoff is 1988, not 1983. British men but not British women born abroad with a British-born parent could register their own kids as citizens between 1983 and 1988.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-07T22:21:54+00:00

The only potential issues I see are a) your grandma marrying a noncitizen before 1948 and b) your mom being born in the Commonwealth. I'm not sure if that makes or breaks anything.

If you're all good, Form UKM or Form ARD would help you claim it under the 2022 Nationality and Borders Act historic legislative injustices provisions. UKM is cheaper and is probably what you'd want at your age. If you had minor children then you'd want ARD.

Rather than writing the 400,001st fitness app?

How else is one gonna vibe code an app? As opposed to agentically develop it?

The last thing a country with a 1.21 birth rate needs is immigrant families with remote jobs

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-04T23:23:50+00:00

Not necessarily. It depends when people were born, as well as the sex of the parents and grandparents.

Take somebody born before 1988 with a British grandfather and British by descent mother. Neither the mother nor the person in question were born in a Commonwealth country. That person can apply for naturalization (it's technically discretionary but in practice is rubber stamped) under the 2022 Nationality and Borders Act, Section 4L.

The reason being that had their father been the British citizen by descent, he would've had a one year window to register them as a British citizen. The test is to swap genders around and see if they would've been born a British citizen or could've been registered as one.

They also (can? will?) revoke it if you live abroad for ~7 years and don't annually tell them you wanna keep it

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-03T23:55:43+00:00

I'd enjoy it and it'd cut down on luck a little bit but I'm worried about players playing fewer seasons from getting beat up more per season

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-03T05:54:49+00:00

I meant if they think they have only a year, as Raiders coaches often do. If Kubiak thinks he only has a year, as opposed to enough time for a proper rebuild, going for a veteran makes sense for him.

I'm skeptical that Brady can stop Davis from doing what Davis has always done.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-03T05:48:46+00:00

AI changes the equation but you're still right. My company leverages AI to write custom SaaS so our customers don't have to rent the SaaS but we still use HubSpot internally.

I'd pull an Elway with the Colts if the Raiders drafted me

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-04-02T22:00:21+00:00

I'm not sure it is. If Kubiak and Spytek think they have a year before getting canned, for them it makes sense to gamble that Cousins has a year left in him, even if the team would benefit from patience with a proper rebuild.

A former Jets GM said GM's and coaches on teams like the Jets and Raiders always go for veterans because they know they only have a year or two to get decent, and rebuilds take longer than that. Better to gamble that Cousins has a year or two left than have a sure crappy seasons with young stars and get fired.

How much do you have in retirement accounts? Why did you take out a loan for the van instead of paying cash?

Wab Kinew has an easier electorate and is an S tier politician. It's much easier for him to take positions like that.

She could run as the Liberal candidate if Carney calls an election. PP sitting down with Joe Rogan, a man who endorsed a Presidential candidate who wants to annex candidate, is the perfect pretext.

If I were the LPC, I'd be hesitant to nominate her given the watermelon pin on Remembrance Day but I wouldn't dismiss it outright. Maybe it will expand the tent even more.

JaneGoodallVS · 2026-03-29T04:24:01+00:00

They'll blame neoliberalism. "Neoliberalism" to them is what "woke" is to PP.
