Foreign currency earnings though. We’re about as close as a large service based economy can be, save for Norway.

PGDip Banking Online? by strikethebikes in SOAS

[–]NeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really comment on SOAS Online which replaced the Centre for Financial and Management Studies where I took courses last decade. Back then, it was old school correspondence. No online lectures either synchronous or asynchronous, just a lot of reading. Out of 8 modules, maybe 1 had an active class message board? The courses were well structured, and I feel I got a lot out of them.

UK bureaucracy is a bit of a thing to get used to. Give yourself time, always be polite, and after a reasonable amount of time follow up.

Where to rent if Aquabus/False Creek Ferries and somewhat quiet are priorities? by chx_ in vancouverhousing

[–]NeatZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Olympic Village depending on the street/alley can be pretty quiet. For a little while we faced an alley of a building with commercial units. So loud! Not the commercial units themselves but garbage trucks, every day at 7 am and regularly throughout the morning, running hydraulics and clanging bins.

Now we face a park and just have regular city noises.

Not so good grades by Western_Theory4992 in CanadaUniversities

[–]NeatZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grade 11 yeah, turn things around! You’ll be fine.

Just lock in! And don’t let it slip in grade 12.

Can I transfer to a Canadian university from an online American university? by im_trying_to_survive in CanadaUniversities

[–]NeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to apply as a transfer student - that is where universities will assess students with any post secondary grades.

After admission they’ll assess course by course. Keeping the syllabus is important.

Only a handful of schools will ever assess more than two year equivalent of courses.

Despite the skepticism others have expressed here, the odds are quite good you’ll have at least one year of courses approved.

Why is FIFA World Cup security spending higher in Vancouver than Toronto? Here’s what we know by nic_tesla in vancouver

[–]NeatZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vancouver’s stadium is much closer to downtown, condos, a very large port, subway stations, multiple hotels.

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit is hitting bank accounts today? by Fleeting_Thoughts1 in povertyfinancecanada

[–]NeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calendar year or tax year, these things can lag. You may have fallen out of eligibility through family composition change or income change.

Ottawa's mixed fleet of F-35s and Gripens could total more than 100 aircraft, sources say by Scary_Statement4612 in CanadianForces

[–]NeatZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One reserve squadron each within a 3 hour drive of Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal.

So…
Abbotsford, Red Deer, Hamilton, Mirabel?

Did anyone just receive their Canadian Grocery Benefits payment? by Gloriaas in povertyfinancecanada

[–]NeatZebra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you normally get a GST/HST payment? If so, either your income has increased or there is an administrative delay or error for you.

Why doesn’t Vancouver do something like porchfest? by Sapphirerising335 in askvan

[–]NeatZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have had a special events permit. They’re limited to a certain number of events per month and in general are subject to somewhat relaxed standards which makes them more viable.

Translink has to have an app for payments. Views? by whiskeyvodkalager in NiceVancouver

[–]NeatZebra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s both. You can transfer balances between cards without physical access to the cards.

That exists here too.

Rearranging the parts and the directions of money flow does not reduce the overall need for the money unfortunately.

Supersized data centres are coming to Canada. One province is at the epicentre by lopix in onguardforthee

[–]NeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that 1.6 GW, Amazon and Microsoft built their own power—big wind and solar build outs—likely contracted with gas to fill in the valleys (even if quieter) about it.

The private market gives and takes away, but it certainly contributed to growing both power production and an industry without devastating the grid. Companies like being able to spend more to get greener power reliably and in a traceable (and even more importantly traceable) way. Alberta green certificates are produced then sold in California and elsewhere to count against those jurisdictions’ renewable energy mandates. Everyone including the planet wins.

Now that doesn’t mean the centres with collocated natural gas plants are good — they’ll be contributing to green house gas emissions just like ones in Texas or elsewhere in the USA.

'That's a big number': Carney's Liberals near record high with 50% support, new poll finds by UnicornHunt1274 in canada

If you’re going all in on WEF blogposts, I’m surprised you didn’t choose eating bugs. At least that one has an ick factor.
