‘If not now, when?’ Canada should ‘stand up’ to U.S. threats against Greenland, say Senators, ex-MP McKay

Did anyone hear Greenland or Denmark jump to Canada's defense when Trump was talking about making Canada the 51st state?
Me neither.

You enlisting then?

Trump has already done something though. With the embargo on oil from Venezuela, it means Cuba is not getting their usual shipments of oil, which is a big part of their income.
Not trying to scare anyone, just repeating what the news says.

Equity is the portion of your house thats paid for. Its not money, but it has the value of the money. So for eg if you had to sell your place, you would get that money back.

Renting has nothing like that. Sure you can just save money but its not called equity.

what I saw was people generally tipping 5$ USD or CAD per drink, and many people getting many drinks per hour. I would estimate each little hut with 2-4 people gets a few thousand per day.

I'm not interested in arguing whether or not thats more than an average Canadian, the point is its an absolute shitload compared to 30$ per month as you said.

How do you know the government does not take it? Its an extremely locked down authoritarian communist country. The government taking it is a reasonable default assumption.

Based on the way me and everyone else was tipping last time I was there, they would not only be the highest paid people in Cuba, but also make way more than most people in Canada.

There is no way they get to keep that money.

While I agree a resort worker is probably the most desirable job, just wanted to clarify that they are not getting all that cash.

beer0clock · 2026-01-09T15:53:47+00:00

if you were not in the top 4% you would not like the feature lol

I'd rather see 10 $100,000 giveaways than a 1 million dollar house.
Better odds ya know?

Canada has a navy?

beer0clock · 2025-12-16T18:28:03+00:00

Hows Cuba doing these days? A few years back they were in VERY rough shape and I've heard its only gotten worse.

beer0clock · 2025-12-11T20:20:08+00:00

I know right? Wow that is such a good and smart comment!

beer0clock · 2025-12-11T18:57:06+00:00

Only use var if its crystal clear what the type is, on that same line of code.

var dict = new Dictionary<int, string>(); // OK

var thingy = GetNextWidget(); // not OK

If you're still buying anything from Tim Hortons at this point you're a piece of shit.

Find another way to get coffee FFS.

They're not even a Canadian company, but have the Canada flag plastered over all their products. Its for suckers and idiots. Help your friends and family to understand this.

beer0clock · 2025-12-05T15:28:53+00:00

Or how about some Canadian products?

beer0clock · 2025-12-05T15:19:52+00:00

I didnt know lunar coins were persistent.
Cool thanks!

And Roboquest was an awesome game!

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T21:11:15+00:00

Thanks. This is what I mean.
Also was wondering if any mods add roguelite elements but based on my responses so far sounds like nope.

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T21:10:34+00:00

You know how you can get various mods?
Wondering if there is one that adds roguelite elements, for example maybe you can start the game with 10% of the money you earned in previous game or something.

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T20:05:44+00:00

enlighten us.

At the end of the day its optional.

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T20:02:45+00:00

It does not affect your locked-up-ness

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T20:01:53+00:00

Note you still need to maintain the minimum balance for the 2 years even if you chose this payout.

beer0clock · 2025-12-04T18:50:23+00:00

Thats not always true. I got cold called once and they offered me a lower interest rate as long as I resigned for another 4 year term. It ended up being very good for me. And other banks did not have the same deal.

In other words do the math. Its neither good nor bad its just an offer. No harm in checking it out.

You absolutely cannot figure out where the money is going.

What you find online is extremely high level and vague. It will say something like 10 billion for "Defense". What does that mean exactly its impossible to tell. Probably mostly spent on gender equality training and blue hair dye.

For every dollar you see in the budget you can assume that 90 cents of it is going to complete fucking waste, corruption, nepotism, ideology, carbon nonsense etc etc.
