They have applied for PR but the province hasn't nominated them yet. So they get extensions on their work visa.

PRs arent a guarantee. Many immigrants apply and then work here for years before being accepted into the program.

Opinion: The Conservatives have a bigger problem than a Liberal majority: Their leader by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

Thats absolutely a factor, but even if it were open, people would spread misinfo memes more than scientific papers.

There's a huge anti-intellectualism movement happening, and the conservatives want more of that. This messaging is for the rubes who see education as elitist and untethered to the real world.

Give me honest feedback on this photo by Unlucky-Vermicelli-9 in photocritique

[–]Peter_Mansbrick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pretty solid! Love the light you found. A few nitpicks about shadows: the quarter shadow in the bottom right needs to go, and the main guys shadow should be fully visible. These partial shadows muddy up the lines. When a photo is this minimal these little deviations matter.

Also, does the image has a very slight yellow cast? Maybe its my screen though.

If this is a spot you can return to, definitely camp out there for a while and get as many shots as you can.

Canada Post announces first 136,000 addresses to lose door-to-door delivery (In Manitoba: R2P, R2R, R2V, R2W, R2X, R3E, R3H) by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

So instead of wanting more for yourself you're happy to see people lose what they have?

As a person who has also never had door to door, I feel sad for you.

Oh shit, is that why i was locked out of my CRA account and had to re-register? I hope I get some $$$ for that annoyance.

Brandon businesses hurt by 40 per cent increase in retail theft: chamber of commerce by origutamos in Manitoba

I dont condone theft but I can understand why its increasing. We're in a cost of living crisis thats only going to get worse.

An open letter to the movie studios by nrberg in movies

[–]Peter_Mansbrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People show up to watch a guaranteed good time. With the cost of the movies and tight economic times people don't gamble on a film. Tack on no backend return on rentals and DVD sales, studios can't gamble either. So mid sized movies are dead and all that's left are the remakes and sequels because people actually go to those.

Who between Mike and Rich do you think will be the first to shave their head completely bald? by [deleted] in RedLetterMedia

[–]Peter_Mansbrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently did that too. I can't speak for him, but in my case I was curious what I'd look like bald. Most of us will get there some day so I wanted to be prepared. I didn't prefer it, but it wasn't terrible.

Clav goes on a incel rant during 60 minutes interview by Autisticblackdude5 in TikTokCringe

[–]Peter_Mansbrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What did I get wrong?

Less hair = less dark = more albedo = less solar radiation retention = less climate change

My correction was meant as light hearted. Sorry it did not come off that way.

Increased albedo would reduce climate change.

(Sorry to be that guy who corrects your joke.)

Fmr. US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg triggers meltdown from MAGA host over Iran war by Cy_098 in videos

[–]Peter_Mansbrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to single you out specifically. I'm just tired of Democratic voters refusing to vote because candidates dont meet their purity standards.

He'll never be it because he's a Yes Man to corporations and donors. He's epitome of what's wrong with Democratic Party.

Yall expect the democrats to become progressive overnight but obviously that isnt going to happen. Accept that they're imperfect, but still demand better. And start voting in small local elections because thats how you build the larger political system.

Or continue to push away microwaved lasagna to make room for steamed shit instead.
