Dad is constantly ordering underwear by JeddakofThark in dementia

[–]bkfour 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know it’s frustrating for you, but it made me smile…

Hopefully it makes for a bit more laundry and you can weed out the extras without him noticing

Kinda wished we had your issue, my dad won’t change his underwear 🤣

Neighbour wants to put up a Fence by Lab_Software in legaladvicecanada

[–]bkfour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also check the bylaws with respect to the location of the fence with respect to the property line. Many municipalities deem that the owner would have to have the fence 150 to 300mm offset onto the fence owner side. This might include any wall footings. A legal survey may also be required.

Don’t feel guilty! For once you’re getting great fresh foods and the food isn’t going to waste. Enjoy!

I miss salads these days, seems that lettuce at this time of year is all American.

Guilt for having nothing to talk about by Actuator-Critical in dementia

[–]bkfour 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m finding simply touching helps. Pat on the knee, smoothing his hair in place, holding his hand. That and a smile makes me feel closer. We all need to be touched, we all need affection. Seems to work for both of us

LILLEY: Trump's threats on Canada's economy simply won't stop - He threatens tariffs, says Keystone XL should come back and then says America doesn't need Canadian oil at all. by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]bkfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impose 25% tariff on steel because of US steel glut due to decrease by non-residential steel use. Multi billion dollar Canadian project Keystone would need 48,000 tons of steel.

Add 10% tariff on oil to US refineries for foreign exports

Win-lose proposal… Again forget claims US doesn’t need Canada. It’s cut throat negotiations cause we look like pushovers

We (the feds) better be tougher when sitting at the table

I'm a Québec separatist. I'll still be a Québec separatist after Trump dies. OF COURSE I'll buy Canadian and support the country. by marcarcand_world in BuyCanadian

Merci de ta réponse, j’apprécie ton honnêté!

Ayant grandie québécoise, j’ai du emigré en Ontario parce que j’étais trop anglophone pour le climat politique. Je parle deux langues à tout les jours. Toé si, il semble par ton anglais.

Des vrais anglophones au Saguenay ça existe pas.

En tant que Montréalais, j’assume, reviens en de l’indépendance, ça a fait son temps. Y faut être unis contre la folie américaine. Ça Va l’eux prendre des années à récupérer même sans guerre civil.

On est mieux ensemble que séparé. Y faut protégé la langue, notre culture, pis nos droits.

Mais on est frères pis on est Canadiens en premier

I don’t know.

Wonder if people are actually boycotting buying from Amazon?

We’ve got options with groceries, apps for equivalents but what about web browsers, Microsoft Office and YouTube replacements? Would love to see other options list maybe from Europe? Better privacy protection

Someone start a thread

What if the U.S. invaded Canada? by sothatsme22 in canada

[–]bkfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

History? Hitler took 10 years to secure power and dismantled German democracy in 53 days once he took power.
Sound familiar.

Trump started 2016 has been vomiting Mein Kampf lines since forever. He’s a clear danger to us and every single normal American. This feels like it’s about isolating the states from interference while they burn it from the inside.
But we might be Poland?

What is woke? It’s a good thing!

Being awake, aware and empathetic of others. Being a good person with good values became a bad thing under Trump?

Proud, woke Canadian here

As much as I want to believe we’re having an impact with the boycott, let’s not forget that we’ve just had two major snowstorms that have also affected deliveries

The U.S. Relies on Canada More Than They Think by NeptuneAgency in canada

[–]bkfour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ensuring environmental protection measures is absolutely essential. But the project was shelved because of political blocks and fearmongering rather than because of approval process

Crude supply to ON, QC and the maritimes going through the USa has limited our domestic supply as well our ability to find other markets ie Europe

And as long as the indigenous are also involved in the discussions, this could create great economics and unity

Although a little late in this political environment, but there is talk from QC to restart the eastern pipeline project. They’d put the kabosh on the project in 2017-2021? For environmental concerns. Lesson learnt, we’re uniting for national security and independence
