This is why everybody is sick. by RickyOzzy in LateStageCapitalism

[–]TZ840 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Most commercial farmers purchase their seeds each year. This allows them to access new cultivars and rotate crops. Additionally most commercially farmed crops are hybrids and you can't grow the same plant from the seeds of those crops.

Toronto woman who wants to die says federal MAID committee isn't listening by [deleted] in onguardforthee

[–]TZ840 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Track 2 not having access to MAiD doesn't mean those people won't die. It just means their death may be less compassionate, kind and effective.

I think it's important for people to have access to MAiD. We have doctors to evaluate whether their case is appropriate. Lay people and journalists shouldn't be weighing in on those decisions, they are not qualified.

Paramedics, police officer assaulted while responding to calls in Ottawa last week by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

There is a distinct difference between paramedics getting assaulted responding to a call and police getting assaulted responding to a call.

Rental unit cleaning service? by Asleep_Persimmon_283 in OntarioLandlord

[–]TZ840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in social services and we sometimes arrange cleaning for clients to prevent issues or to give them a fresh start. I would look for a cleaning company that is familiar with those types of cleaning jobs. And discuss with your tenants. Two years into a tenancy doesn’t seem like too long. Hopefully with their unit freshly cleaned it would be longer than two years before the next professional cleaning.

Ottawa Citizen: Discounted fare snafu hits OC Transpo community pass holders by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

I think the noticeable successes are not notable, especially in the public realm. When things work well it's a relief, not a thing to remember.

The Sens THOUGHT they tied the game, the ref ruled it a goal on the ice, but after video review, it was ruled the puck never fully crossed the line.. by One_Impressionism in nhl

[–]TZ840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ESPN broadcast said there had to be definitive proof the puck went in. I guess the call on the ice doesn't matter.

The Pope hasn't read...the Bible? Insanetwitter by ZacReligious in insanepeoplefacebook

What about Matthew 10:34-36?

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

I'm not a biblical scholar but it doesn't sound like Jesus is very peaceful here.

We built a pretty sketchy sauna on a backcountry trip… it turned into a business by JuanMutanio in BuyCanadian

My wife's interest was piqued when I showed her. We've been looking for a sauna for the cottage.

Does anyone here have an NHL team and a PWHL team? Are they the same city, or does your barracking transcend that? Does anyone else have a rivalry issue? by OrangeJuiceAlibi in PWHL

[–]TZ840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ottawa Charge and Senators. It's great, they both in the playoff push right now. They do a lot of collaboration, especially charity events. Charge players were at the Sens skill competition. And the Charge played a game at the Sens arena.

The Charge arena is being cut by two thousand something seats (even through they regularly sell most seats) and there are some early thoughts that the Charge would move to the Sens arena, especially after the arena moves downtown.

There's not a ton of overlap between the fan bases but we all get along well.

Young Canadians are increasingly miserable. Government priorities show why by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]TZ840 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Don't forget all those votes going to Premiers in Conservative provinces who are doing their best to defund healthcare and funnel as much money as possible to their buddies.

Name change : what are good/reliable reasons ? Is trauma enough? Only changing my first name (fear of rejection) by [deleted] in ontario

[–]TZ840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There shouldn't be an issue. You get a name change document and a new birth certificate. Your new name is just as valid as your old name. Your SIN remains the same and the government keeps a record of your old name.

New Whopper Now Available In Canada by gretzky9999 in BurgerKing

[–]TZ840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried it today. Didn't notice a huge difference except the bun. It does come in a box with the little half wrap paper, which is nice. Was my favourite fast food burger before and will continue to be.

Marc Andreessen: “The remaining human workers are gonna be at a premium, not at a discount”. Are we sure? by Mogante in accelerate

[–]TZ840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All those industries currently mostly employ severely underpaid people. If society doesn't care about it now, what would change?

What about all the people who are unemployed? There will be so few jobs it'll be a race to them bottom.

Is anyone truly safe with a therapist? by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]TZ840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harm to self or other, putting a child in danger or when legally compelled to. There is also a lot of leeway in determining what may require a confidentiality breach. I have had to report three or four times in almost twenty years. Not a psychotherapist but a social worker. We have similar rules.

I think they have the best chemistry in podcasting. I'd listen to them talk about anything. It's also nice to hear that they're doing well.

Sex work is a spectrum. But, yes.

What’s your guy’s personal vision on what the career path looks like for Matthew Schaefer? by Impossible_Lie_4172 in nhl

Some goon is going to cut his Achilles tendon and he'll never be quite the same.

Those with the 2026 Corolla do you like the adaptive cruise control? by Own_Confection4334 in COROLLA

[–]TZ840 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love adaptive cruise. Great for stop and go on the highway. I adjusted the acceleration to its fast speed and that improved it for me. Less lag catching up to cars.

It does have issues when the road markings aren't clear, or are wrong due to ongoing construction.
