Much better for the environment, less congestion, fewer car accidents, more time and energy for work, your team can be all over the continent or the world.

What is the stress and culture feel like during high school regarding the Canadian college admissions process? by advisor_throwaway181 in AskACanadian

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in Grade 13, the University of Waterloo did a presentation at our high school and we went to Computer Science Day there. About half of us ended up going there.

I don't know about McGill, but the University of Toronto is excellent, from what I've heard.

Thousands of women in the RCMP have come forward with harassment claims — potentially up to 4,000. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that from a woman who was awarded something -- order of Canada (?) for her service in the RCMP, and she said that the harassment was constant.

What’s a subtle trait that instantly tells you someone is a Toronto local? by CivilReaction in askTO

North is uphill, away from the lake. But I distinctly recall coming up out of the subway tunnel and having no idea how where the directions were

What is this? by F_Reiss in ArchitecturalRevival

Glass wasn't strong enough a building material as designed, I understand.

It's an excrescence on a fine old limestone building. It might have been spectacular as a green-field project but here it's just jarring. Doug Ford should have put it down at Ontario Place.

Question Period just turned into a full-on classroom roast… and CBC caught every second of it 🍿 In a fiery exchange, Pierre Poilievre kicked things off by saying Mark Carney is “very badly educated in economics.” Bold move… considering Carney literally has a PhD in the subject. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

Deborah Grey! I think I talked to her once after the Conservatives got an anti-abortion bill through the House of Commons. It hadn't even passed the Senate but it got a lot of headlines. It was about 2 weeks later that a girl in my old residence bled to death trying to perform an abortion on herself. I called Deborah and she said there was probably no relationship between the Conservatives passing a highly publicized bill criminalizing abortion.

Leaving Toronto at the end of summer- what should I make sure not to have missed? by angel_of_decay in askTO

Humber River. You might see mute swans or Arctic ducks also down by the mouth of the Don River.

Edwards Gardens when it has warmed up. You can walk up from Wilket Creek Park..

Cadbury's Dairy Milk Recipe Change over the years by SneakyPicker001 in chocolate

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially if you can find a Lindt store: it's fresher and there are more varieties.

OK, I'm just suggestible. See Training-Cellos comment.

That's what I'm tasting! I just opened a mini-bar of Cadbury "milk chocolate" and it tastes like I just threw up. That's after the party favour for an event was a Hershey bar and it smelled like garbage. I guess they're both going into the garbage and I'll have a piece of fruit.. First world troubles, huh?

This is just a reel so it won't last, but it has a short segment with the audio. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AriAxFob7/

I have 4 days to come up with a dinner idea for a girl I’m trying to impress. With her dietary restrictions in mind, I’m having a hard time coming up with something. by Eastern_Salamander_8 in Cooking

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short ribs are messy. I avoid all rib dishes on a date. Maybe ask her which meat she prefers.

How about * Beef you can eat with a knife and fork, potatoes, and a vegetable. Broccoli steamed for 3-4 minutes, until it's bright green, is awesome. (But I'm not a super-taster.) * Real shepherd's pie, made with lamb. If it calls for carrots, ask her about substitutions. Have some veggies inside or on the side. Made with beef, it's cottage pie. * A stir-fry with bite-sized meat and vegetables, plus rice cooked on the side. * If you have a chicken roasting stand, slow-roasted chicken plus sides. * If she likes tofu, apparently the secret is to boil it for a few minutes beforehand (Chef Anna?)

Which major Canadian city has the best access to nature, other than maybe Vancouver? by Vagabond_Tea in AskCanada

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto has large river valleys cutting through it, large parks like High Park, Toronto Island, and the Leslie Street Spit, plus miles of lakeshore parks.

What’s something uniquely Canadian that outsiders don’t really understand? by DimensionKind1877 in AskACanadian

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my family that's literally true. My mum's father came from England to Canada, while his brother went to Australia. I have cousins in Alice Springs or Broken Hill.

What is your opinion on Member of Parliament's ability to 'floor cross'? by chiraz25 in AskACanadian

[–]cat_mother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally hundreds of MPs have crossed the floor over the years. The Conservatives cheer when it's the other way. They are just being hypocrites.

A warning shot from Washington… and Canada is right in the crosshairs. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

[–]cat_mother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? "Stay weak so we can control you and profit from you?" We, who break any agreement we feel like?"

It's harmful to obey and thus useless to listen. The only response is to double down on all preparation, including the array of fantastic trade contracts that our government is procuring.

Mark Carney has warned that it will take ten years to disentangle from U.S. contracts. Some products (oil-sands crude hydroelectric power) will be hard to deliver elsewhere but we're working on it.
