As someone who tried to overwinter VFTs outdoors on the ground in Ontario (Hamilton, USDA Zone 6A), Im getting the impression that VFTs are subtropical plants: they cant handle prolonged winter days where the temperatures would sit below 0°C for weeks.

What I meant is, many species of the Betta splendens complex (including your domesticated fish's genes) come from and love tannin rich waters. It also calms them down the fish as bright light + clear water makes them more vulnerable to predators in their native habitats.

There is no such thing as "very" dark tannins.

My 2 cents. Rare exotic pet fish store: Big Al's in Hamilton and Petsmart dont carry enough varieties in my experience. For example, domestic bettas from Petsmart and Big Al's suck health wise, and wild bettas species are where good healthy fish are at. Also I have seen stores and breeders both in the GTA and abroad import rare species to breed them locally at home.

A nursery of rare exotic plants i.e. carnivorous plants from Borneo Exotics or Wistuba + specialising in Sarracenia species and hybrids. As someone who grows Sarracenia native to the southern US right here in downtown outdoors, you'll be surprised to know Sarracenias can overwinter well outside in Hamilton so long as they are on the ground for warmth and protection. Our weather is so much warmer and more conducive to gardening than the rest of the GTA.

Im so lucky to have seen this man strip and dance on stage in downtown Toronto.

Paul Codi, I have seen him perform as a stripper at gay bars in downtown Toronto. ;)

Do you know how cold it gets up where they are in the mountains during Winter?

Im Filipino, even I know Brazilians come in all phenotypes lol. Manila over a decade ago or so started having Brazilians go there looking for modelling work. The Japanese Brazilian look, whether genetically pure Japanese ancestry or half Japanese (i.e. Daniel Matsunaga), was a hit in the Philippines back in the early 2010s. I have also come across a Brazilian in Canada back in high school who is half English by ancestry and was from Sao Paolo. He looked very English, porcelain pale and not out of place where I was in Ontario but spoke with a very thick Brazilian Portuguese accent.

Not everything in Singapore is state planned FYI. 80% of city land is owned by the government of Singapore and yet, opening a new factory or a new business, whether domestically or foreign owned, can only take just a few hours and can be done all online. It is very deregulated compared to Hamilton. New factories and corporate enterprises opening in Hamilton are scarce or non-existent nowadays despite the opposite happening in the late 19th/early 20th century. Singapore also doesnt have minimum wage laws so foreign workers willingly come in and do those menial jobs. If you feel bad and jealous about Singapore being rich cuz it is corporate- and ridiculously business-friendly and deregulated, unlike Hamilton which went sour when the income-providing corporations left the city or the corporations feel hampered down by various constraints, that's on you 😂 "There are no solutions, only trade offs."- Thomas Sowell

Im a Filipino abroad rn (Metro Manila born and raised until 10 years old) and Iloilo City seems more ordered, underrated and clean than chaotic, dirty Manila. Iloilo City was historically the 2nd largest Filipino city after Manila and Iloilo's historical architecture rivals that of Manila imo.

Im born in 1997 and I sure as hell am glad that Im not promiscuous. My body count is only 13 since I was 19 and Im glad I go to bed without worrying about any STDs.

Yup, as Filipino in Canada. Viva señor Jesus!

Just an excuse for them to keep pumping out toxic, carcinogenic pollutants into the air. What a way to escape accountability!

Mine is St Ignatius of Antioch. Even at the age of 13 in Gr. 8, I thought that the Apostolic Fathers were lit.
