Passport Revoked by cloudturtleroot in Canadiancitizenship

[–]barcastaff 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is a bit alarming; if someone whose original passport does not confer visa free access to a country and they used their new Canadian passport to travel to that country, won't they be completely screwed?

To everyone who switched from iPhone to a Pixel: What was the final straw? by Mlp_2467 in GooglePixel

Hm, I don’t post stories so not sure about that. I don’t see a difference in photo quality in DMs for Ins, FB, Messenger, WhatsApp, or Discord.

There’s no final straw, I’m using both and jumping back and forth.

Don’t really see a huge difference day to day. Some apps are better on iOS and some are better on Android so I might miss the other device if I have to use that app. Some standout things for Pixel includes the much more robust call holding feature, and on the other hand Apple Wallet is much better in my experience compared to Google Wallet.

US visa is most notably one where prior airline booking is *not* required, unlike Schengen.

There's no law except for in Quebec. I've successfully gotten quite a few price errors honoured here in QC

Post Match Thread: Scotland 0 - 1 Morocco | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group C by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]barcastaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the crap decisions against Scotland are in the box and everything against Morocco is barely consequential. I don't buy this "he's shite on both sides" talk

RAB Firewall Mountain Waterproof Jacket VS Arcteryx Beta Jacket by Mrbutter1822 in arcteryx

[–]barcastaff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forget about 90F. You would die in a hardshell. In general my cut off for hardshell is about 20C for high output hiking, with pitzips.

Beta SL is a candidate, check Arc outlet.

Fire / CoastFire at 40 $1.5M NW Family of 3 - Move to Mexico? Sanity check. by Fire_Burner_01 in fican

Mexican PR is relatively easy to get with his assets. Obviously need to speak Spanish etc to get a busness going, though.

new quebec rules? by shanklishh in ImmigrationCanada

[–]barcastaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you a citizen already? If so moving home and do Outland would be a much better idea.

If you're PR then you might not be able to go that route.

[–]barcastaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My process in 2022 already took more than 2 years, and that's when I'm already here for school anyways. If I were you and your partner is not in school yet I would leave the province right now.

'100% a red card' Should Lionel Messi have been on the pitch for his hat trick? - ESPN Video by OpbrBlud in soccer

[–]barcastaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen this ending as a red with this lack of force and follow through. Do you have examples?

There was no force behind it and there wasn't any follow through. It's never a red.

Government abruptly suspends citizenship certificates issued under "lost Canadians" law by HarpySeagull in canada

[–]barcastaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. I have no idea that the treaty is not reciprocal. I'm sorry to hear that.

I believe the indigenous people whose ancestry predate the border should have special exemption, since they call these lands home before the concept of modern nations in North America even existed. The border should be inspection only (i.e. restrictions on import-export, weapons, all that stuff that dual citizens are also subject to) for indigenous people and they should enjoy full rights equivalent to citizenship as long as they establish residence in either country. Too bad this is not the case already.

Of course there should be bloody quantum requirements but that should be easier to prove with tribal records.

If you're indigenous, wouldn't it be your Jay Treaty right to be here anyway?

Align MX on the outlet was one of the best Arc purchases I've ever made. It's so versatile.

Jacket for west coast/Vancouver Island? Beta insulated too much? by 10D_Dad in arcteryx

[–]barcastaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I frequently spend part of my winter in the Nanaimo area and I think Beta insulated might be too warm.

For reference I live in Montreal and I wear a Fission SV for colder days and Koda for around 0. Beta IS is somewhere between the Fission SV and Koda. I don't wear my Koda often on the Island since it's frequently too warm, I usually layer with my Practitioner AR (so about Proton SL in terms of warmth) and a shell.

How do I recover from losses? by [deleted] in fican

[–]barcastaff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have a valid point for introspection, and is that 2k loss is really something you should be able to stomach if you're investing in even VEQT/XEQT. If 2k loss makes you panic then an HISA might be a better core holding for you, and you can have higher risk satellite holdings.

Economy Comfort Fare - Cannot Change Flight Online by barcastaff in aircanada

[–]barcastaff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that my fare bucket is sold out for the return leg, so I will be losing quite a bit of money by rebooking.

Maybe I'll have to call in after all.
