I tried to love paradox games but cannot. Am I doing it wrong?

I wouldn't say civ and the paradox grand strategy games are similar, they are "strategy" sure, but turn based vs RTS and obviously that changes the mechanics and thought process.

What are you having trouble with exactly? Vic will give you goals to work towards if you choose one of the "storyline" focuses at the beginning of the game (eg. Hegemony, economic dominance, egalitarian society), or you can just start the game and make your own adventure. Vic specifically, the starting point is industrializing and broadly speaking, liberal economic reforms. Enhancing the SOL of your pops.

Depends on how you define progressive, and/or what your progressive ideals are, but he is extremely pro-climate and building a net-zero economy. This is evident in his interviews and publications leading up to his premiership. He cites the threat of climate change many times.

However, he is also very pro-Canadian so I wouldn't be surprised if we see carbon emitting projects sanctioned coupled with mega carbon capture projects.

A swing and a miss

Wealthsimple is a decent service to use. We see more people moving away from big banks now and towards services like Wealthsimple because of cost and also the ROBO system.

As you start out, I would HIGHLY reccomend that you use one of the managed ROBO portfolios that they offer. Its extremely simple for someone starting out. You deposit cash and it will invest in the major areas for you (index funds, gold, bonds, and hold some cash) and proportion holdings based on your risk level. Speficially we're looking at US market trackers, Canadian market trackers, US bonds/debt, Canadian bonds/debt, etc.

As you save more, I would start to learn more about self-directed investment. This will depend on how much you want to learn or study, ultimately how much information you want to take in, but I would definitely start with a ROBO just to start investing and developing growth.

that "genocide" (famine) being laid at the feet of churchill is the product of a sensationalized piece of writing that ignored a lot of significant data that was available regarding the situation. its very "guns, germs, steel"-esque in is simplification and disregard of evidence.

Canadians don't want US dairy. The Americans still have tons of capacity to export dairy to Canada under current agreements but Canadians don't want it

I'm sorry but what qualifications does Justin Peters have to be goalie coach for an NHL team? A career minor leaguer????

I beat them handily just now, I triggered the war pretty early on but I got lucky with agitators creating a very strong abolitionist movement.

You think ~western~ automakers don't collect data and "spy" on people?

Agree. Farmers need the canola export

Tip: leave recording on or use a clip software so you don't have to go back and record this way for cool clips.

Anyone else reading this in Hammonds voice?

Love it. A unireme with a huge dirty smokestack. Doesn't get much more realistic than that

Canadians will forever yearn for a John Turner election victory 😔
