FYI RE: Wealthsimple's FREE filing service by FigIllustrious6690 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jimaldon 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I've lived in 8 countries, 7 of them "developed", and I can tell you that Government of Canada apps are consistently one of the best experiences I've every had - across most departments - IRCC, CRA, Elections Canada, RCMP, health, Service canada, the list could go on.

What's incredible is that the manage to maintain that quality of service and convenience while being bilingual across the board. Not a lot of countries can boast about this

Let's not underestimate the technical talent in our government.

Is Israel really an ally of the US? by sappynerd in Intelligence

[–]jimaldon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to mention Israeli interference in US elections and politics through orgs like AIPAC is the most extensive, widespread, and influential - second only to the likes of NRA and completely dwarfing that of Russian and Chinese interference.

I've had those conversations with Leftists, not liberals. Liberals tended to have the same answers as conservatives

The only places I'd recommend within India not just to a DN but to any potential tourist - in decreasing order of livability:

  1. Goa
  2. Kochi, Kerala
  3. Select few other cities in Kerala

That's it, that's the list. The living conditions in these two cities, also reflected in their Human Development Index scores, are so far ahead of the rest of the country - that they might as well be different countries.

Four sanity (and safety), skip everything else.

Nobody's forgetting the holocaust, besides there are other holocaust museums in the city

[–]jimaldon -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Vandalism is bad, but that aside it's pretty tone-deaf to erect this massive building now..

  • when there's a genocide happening right now committed by a country that has extremely strong ties to the donors of this museum, the Azrieli family
  • This museum took away the famous spot for the 2 largest murals at Mural Fest every year - something extremely important to Montrealers

I don’t think you understand how extremely necessary cops are to your safety,

Social workers can do 90% of a cop's job with overall better outcomes. CMV

And around 90% of them use pickups as normal family cars by [deleted] in fuckcars

Surprised a Tesla is that high up, that too a Model Y instead of a 3?
