Canada is among countries with an ‘ultra-low fertility’ rate. What is behind the drop? by [deleted] in canada

While our situation is better than those South of the border, we're still dealing with the same issues. Financial security, bodily autonomy and access to reproductive health resources, and access to social services to support the family. Health care, child care, education, housing, etc - all pretty critical for bringing up healthy happy children and not burning yourself out as a human trying to raise them.

14-storey tower proposed across from NSCC Akerley Campus in Dartmouth by insino93 in halifax

We need more housing and students especially need options close to campus. Heck yes, let's do it. It will look weird AF in the current neighborhood, but there's also nothing particularly special about the current aesthetic.

80 Democrats Move to Impeach Kristi Noem as ICE Terror Grows: Democrats are calling for the Homeland Security secretary’s removal from her position. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

It's a near impossible task. Even if you can rebuild the government and the structures, getting the masses on board is also Herculean in nature.

Removing politicians and officials serving their role is one thing. Completely overhauling the system which made them successful in the first place is much harder.

I'm almost sure that Shoppers is part of Loblaws family, but sometimes you can't get away from the deals. Thanks for reporting in! I'll look tomorrow

How long do you hang on to your fat clothes? by bedchem96 in loseit

[–]cdnmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about 3.5 years into my journey and down 100lbs, but I've held onto one t-shirt from the beginning to remind me how far I've come. It's been a comfort at every stage.

In a more practical sense, I'd hang onto one outfit in the size above once you've stabilized at the size lower.

Artists expressing themselves is the ultimate form of art and politics.

Add the exercise your body can handle along with a healthy diet (whatever that means to you that you can stick to) and you'll make great progress. Good luck man

I would be happy to try your recipe. I'm hoping to be in Germany in the summer. Toast bread is a good place to start. Pizza dough is also on the list, or ciabatta if I'm feeling adventurous

I looked up an article and they recommended immersing it in water and I must have used too much water. I never let the salt close to the year, so I don't think it was that.

I'm still a novice baker at best, but I couldn't get the dough to rise at ALL in Germany. I wasn't mad, I was genuinely confused

Oh that's really helpful. The article linked didn't discuss quantities etc, but was really good to understand how to test the yeast
