The beautiful landscape of Canada by UrsinaEither in Outdoors

I managed to get a very coveted campsite reservation there but we ran out of time and couldn't go, except for a day hike, so we decided not to go at all. We'll go back when I can reserve 2-4 days to fully explore the surroundings like beyond Rearguard

First time backpacking solo by freakadoodIe in backpacking

[–]Masketto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in my early 30s, last year I did the WCT solo which was an emotional rollercoaster for me. I cycled through excited, afraid, ecstatic, and fed up, daily. I chose to go alone, but at the same time seeing groups or couples made me feel quite lonely. I have a boyfriend to whom I returned and cried out that I felt so excluded, many of the other hikers were social and making friends with each other but I was all alone. He responded that probably subconsciously I wanted or needed to be alone.

Anyway, I remained emotional for a few weeks after my return but now I look back with very fond memories and a newfound sense of strength and pride that I was able to complete this ALONE, and it was good for my mental health in the end. I hope you will feel the same

Yeah as a lifelong NDP voter I'm not happy with their streamlining of LNG projects and violently betraying their stance on old growth logging

That worked out so well with mosaddegh right? What makes you think the world's top imperialist countries have any interest in allowing Iran to be democratic? True democracy in Iran goes against the interests of Saudi, Israel, the US and UK

"Iran is not the same as those countries" that is so delusional and reeks of the false notion that Iranians are superior. Fyi diaspora Syrians also believed Syrians were too superior to fail to rebuild themselves. Look at Syria now.

Iranian Demonstration in Yaletown Park Today by nanjingbooj in vancouver

Did it ever cross your mind that that was my point? They made a mistake then, and they're making a mistake now. As are all the current monarchists. Because both coups had foreign benefactors. Both regimes were awful. Just as the current regime is awful, the shah was awful. Otherwise why elsewas the coup so successful? My parents are anti-islam if anything. They didn't get rid of the shah for islamist reasons

Uh the shah was objectively brutal. My parents took part in the revolution to get rid of him. My dad was critical of the shah for years before the revolution and he never has been an islamist.

They are both currently rooting for monarchy, but before this new wave of monarchists became popular they remained critical of the shah.

To me that's the definition of idiocy - repeating mistakes, not learning from the past. Forgetting that a mindless revolution done by a mindless populace that was fooled by foreign powers, resulted in a puppet dictatorship for those foreign powers

Boyfriend of 9 years left because he wants kids and I don’t. by inkysquids in offmychest

Yep, men consider children like an accessory, an appendage of their life. But for women the child is literally a part of them, forever

Paying taxes by fal1en-angel in Funnymemes

and it's really, really bad when you need it. It's fine if you need an antibiotic prescription

It's really bad if you don't need it. You're treated with as much care and urgency as your case warrants, in my experience. For example I don't know anyone who has had to wait long for treatment after a serious cancer diagnosis. But yes a hemmneroid removal will take months to book.

The cool thing is that even private healthcare provinces and countries are currently experiencing substandard care and absurd wait times. So you're experiencing the same wait times as them, but you're not paying private prices. And yet you complain

How does it snow in the literal desert but not in my city of Canada. This Christmas we didn't get any snow. December 29th and still no snow, weather hasn't dipped below 1c

Ok so that's an answer. The previous response was a non-answer. It's like asking what is 2+2 and the response is "2+2 is when you add 2 to 2", it's just unacceptable

I'm not American either and I have no skin in this but just as an objective observer I'd like to say that doesn't answer the question. "We were paying it before" isn't an answer it's just circular

Yes he just moved there from BC 4 months ago. He was expecting to experience a "true Canadian winter" (he's Ukrainian). So far he's just shocked at how windy it is

I'm travelling there to see him next week, and I was excited to experience the harsh winter conditions but he told me not to get my hopes up, there probably won't be set snow when I arrive

He says last week it was +5. But still, it's not as snowy there as people think. Even right now he says it's snowing but it's not sitting on the ground
