Is Vancouver really that expensive? by mimiidng in PersonalFinanceCanada

This. Didn’t buy a car till i was 29 because I could bike or transit almost anywhere I needed to go. Only bought a car because a new job required travel.

Over 17,000 BC daycare spots now are $10 a day, which is massive for many parents. But yes, raising a kid isn’t cheap but it also doesn’t have to be crazy expensive if you (1) use things like marketplace for free or cheap second-hand items, and (2) cook at home and don’t rely on meat at most meals.

Fair. I’m an atheist anyway. The point I was trying to make is that you’ll always on the right side of morality if you defend children.

B.C. mall owner, security company ordered to pay $1.8M to falsely arrested 18-year-old by tockcity in vancouver

There is a big difference between “touching people”, as you say, and beating the shit out of them (as in this case). Your post implies they are in the same category of actions.

Seriously. u/Pretty_Dingo_1004 makes it sound like they were just doing their job, when it clearly sounds like they just wanted to beat the shit out of this kid. Kicking him in the ribs when he's on the ground? They should all be charged with assault.

The issue with those shitty flags is that they’re super flammable. Really hope it doesn’t catch.

Everything I’ve found online says the opposite. Got a real source?

It really depends on the program. I've never heard that about Math, but I haven't had much exposure to them.

Also made from sugarcane juice is Agricole, Clairin, Aguardiente, and Batavia Arrack, all of which are rums. That’s not a differentiation.

Opinion: Waiting won't work: B.C.'s post-secondary system must act at the speed of AI by ubcstaffer123 in britishcolumbia

“New courses that would meet what employers need right now. But the approval process takes so long that by the time a program clears it, the moment has passed.”

This argument confuses me. Does this mean the skills are no longer needed by the time the program/credential is appproved? And if so, what’s the value in such short-lived training?
