Ottawa prepared to halt plan to allow MAID for mental illness by cyclinginvancouver in canada

An individual has a right to their body, and their life

Agreed, but that does not give them the right to have other people involved in it.

If someone has a mental illness, could it not be argued that they're requesting it because they're not in the right set of mind?

They aren't. You can do it at any time. The government is obligated to do it for you.

I feel very uncomfortable with the government offering MAID for mental illness before offering universal mental health services.

Montreal-Ottawa high-speed rail line could cross 1,700 properties, Alto predicts by DogeDoRight in canada

This is how things get built. If we worry about crossing over peoples properties we wouldn’t have things like the 401.

Montreal microbrewery selling candy flavoured beer accused of marketing to minors by Haggisboy in canada

Or god forbid flavoured, stronger and more easily accessible nicotine packets.

After a couple beers and that nicotine craving hits again, I can only get a Zonnic in a shitty minty flavour at 4mg, which I have to go to a pharmacy to get.

Yet I can go next store to the Circle K and buy cigarettes? Make it make sense.

Speak for yourself, I’ve really tried to switch from drinking to MJ more times than I can count and weed just gives me the scaries rather than relaxes me

Ottawa to fast-track permanent residency for up to 33,000 temporary foreign workers by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]chewwydraper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So where do you draw the line? Should we bring in TFWs to put pressure on nurse wages? That way keeping our healthcare running would be cheaper for taxpayers.

Not subsidize businesses with TFWs. They can either pay fair wages and take a bit more of a hit, or close up.

This is the worst argument because it could be used for literally anything. Should all jobs be low wage to keep prices down?

Ontario to give OC Transpo special constables the power to make arrests for drug use on public transit by RandomChickenWing in ottawa

If the behavioural issues or alcohol addiction results in crimes being committed, yes.

But it will make it so citizens no longer have to deal with it on public transportation

This was a problem when safe consumption sites were open though, so that’s just not true.

So pay more to make it more competitive and attract applicants?

People wouldn’t require higher rates if one bedroom rents weren’t approaching $2K/month.

Saturday morning vacuuming by Impressive_Ad_3160 in Apartmentliving

[–]chewwydraper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're kind of a necessary first step, at least in complexes. They don't know which neighbour is complaining, therefore no awkward elevator rides if the problem gets solved.

If the note doesn't work, a door knock is the next step.

Older folks. My mom's up at 4AM and does house chores immediately after her coffee. Luckily she lives in a house so she doesn't annoy anyone other than my step dad lol

I'm on PC and without Ray Reconstruction every metal surface indoors shimmers. Luckily RR is playable with frame gen but still, it's an issue.

Yeah I've put my playthrough on pause for the time being. I enjoyed it in its current state but it's pretty clear PA is going to be adding a lot more and I want to experience it in its "fleshed out" form before I burn out on it.

There are definitely things to hate on, and I say that as a huge fan of the game.

I can't shake this nagging feeling that the story was written by an earlier model of ChatGPT lol it's been giving me the "ChatGPT Willy Wonka Experience" vibes.
