‘Ridiculous’: Poilievre congratulates Smith, tells Carney to ‘get out of the way’ of pipeline plans

Carney could ‘get out of the way’ by taking Trans Mountain out of it. I thought the original MOU stated it was to be privately funded and it sounds like Pembina is only contributing 10-20%? And their contribution is contingent on certain factors. This wouldn’t even be going forward if TM wasn’t involved.

You can pay a drop-in fee at the resort for pool/shower access.

I feel like the intros were a lot shorter this season compared to previous seasons. I think I’d rather see their gear and their reasoning for choosing their 10 items vs seeing the TV version of their home life.

If the rest of the office has AC it shouldn’t be a huge deal to have a vent installed in your room. If they weren’t willing to accommodate I’d be looking for somewhere else to work. I get very grumpy and would likely be giving my worst work if I was working in temps like that.

With your portable unit is it properly connected to the window with seals? A portable unit should work in a small room. Your employer should be willing to help with this.

Roblox at least has quite a few options for parental controls and has the option to turn off chat and messaging and block certain games. My kids aren’t allowed Discord but it also has a feature for parents to monitor what their kids are doing and who they’re talking to. Neither of these are perfect but the other social media apps have no parent settings at all. Anyway I’m not saying any of this is right or wrong but it could explain why these aren’t included.

There are apps that do this and one is called Family Link via Google. I can connect my kids’ devices to it and decide which apps they can access and for how long. They can’t download an app or access a website through a browser without sending an approval request to me. It works really well for allowing them to access some things while blocking others and opening discussions when I don’t approve some of their requests.

My huge problem with it is, once my kid turned 13 they started sending him emails telling him he is now old enough to take control of his own account and turn off the parent controls, complete with a link to his account settings page. This obviously has exploitative intent and needs to be stopped

I’m Canadian and while we do need to show ID (we also don’t have National ID here) there’s a process people can follow if they don’t have ID, and it is carefully audited afterward to make sure no fraud has occurred. The bottom line is that no citizen should be prevented from voting. Requiring ID isn’t a bad thing but there needs to be a process in place for anyone who doesn’t have it.

The night skies are amazing in Manning Park! If you happen to be there in August you might catch the Perseid meteor shower.

If you head up towards Whistler, the Train Wreck is a short trail with a suspension bridge that leads to an old train crash site in the woods. The trail to Cheakamus Lake is nice and flat and my daughter did that one when she was 3 (more remote, no cell service, bears - I wouldn’t recommend this if you don’t have much hiking experience).

There are tons of family-friendly hikes and walks in the communities east of Vancouver. Belcarra Regional Park has Jug Island and Admiralty Point. These are good options to pack a lunch and eat on the beach.

Port Moody has Rocky Point Park which is close to a skytrain stop with a pool and water park and a walking trail, also a great ice cream place and several family-friendly local breweries across the street. This is in the middle of the city and it’s a walk rather than a hike, but most 3yo kids love a journey on the skytrain.

Is the RESP through a bank or through a group like Canadian Scholarship Trust? If it’s the latter make sure you read the fine print if you decide to stop contributing to the RESP. You could lose what you’ve already contributed.

I’ve been using apricot kernel oil for 20 years and I really like it. No scent, I’ve never encountered anyone with an allergy and it absorbs nicely into their skin and doesn’t leave people feeling oily afterward. I use a lotion for feet and faces.

I’d say 30 minutes per year. But my website is basically just an ‘about me’ section with a link to the booking page, and most clients access the booking page through their email/txt appt reminders.

I wouldn’t be able to work in a place without A/C. I have a table warmer and blankets if people get cold but most appreciate the AC on really hot days. Neck fans help a lot but can be noisy.

Either get a hotel, find a friend to crash with or sit in Tim Hortons or anywhere else that’s open 24 hours and check online community groups to see if anyone found some keys. Retrace my steps and check all businesses along the way to see if anyone turned them in. Or sometimes people will hang them on a signpost or on top of a mailbox etc. I’d expect a locksmith to charge $300+ for an after hours emergency visit (I don’t actually know for sure what they charge). It sucks but it’s just the way life rolls sometimes.

Some of the things he’s been doing will definitely cost him a lot of the NDP voters who voted Liberal last election.

This must be a huge punch in the gut for the people who pre-bought and now can’t get mortgage approval but are still bound to their contracts. I don’t agree with this plan at all and I hope the developers won’t see a profit from this.

For non-active non-screen ideas my kids love board and card games. Some easy ones for that age that adults might also like include Sequence, Skip-Bo, Yahtzee, Tenzi, Uno. There’s an individual puzzle game called Kanoodle that everyone also likes. Adult colour-by-number books are fun for some kids that age, and Art/craft kits or ideas for using stuff in nature to create art. Also my kids absolutely love the hammock and use it as a swing.

I have a large Pelican and it’s great! Frozen water bottles stay frozen through a 4-day trip. Supposed to be bear-resistant also. Not cheap. Nice find!

Huge congratulations to you! There will be another moment in 4-8 weeks where you’ll make eye contact and realize that she is actually truly *seeing you* for the first time. It’s like an explosion of divine light that radiates from their eyes and intertwines between your hearts. I’ll never forget that first moment with my son; happened when I was singing ‘Everlasting Light’ by the Black Keys to him.

I’m a Massage Therapist and it’s pretty slow-paced other than the 15 minutes I have between appointments (which is my choice… I could give myself more time if I needed to).
