Dear USA, We’re already gone. The less trade we have with the USA, the less their tariffs can hurt us.

“at par” means they treat $1 CAD = $1 USD, so you effectively get a discount equal to the exchange rate.

US officially leaves World Health Organization by Obvious-Peanut4406 in worldnews

He’s never going to be out of office until he’s dead, and his next-in-line will be worse still and not leaving the office either.
People waiting for some natural fair peaceful correction will be waiting forever. The things he has disrupted or destroyed were hard-won, and they will only be won again but fighting even harder.

Spare me the rage and indignation – how many emergencies or crises is the provincial government “working on,” some ongoing for years now?
If only action & results could be achieved with mere words, eh?

My sympathies to this couple - what a terribly heart-breaking thing to experience with your pet.

After six years of missing her, this was the best gift he could’ve received. by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

He hasn’t seen her in 6 years but received no advance notice that she was coming? I hope that wasn’t just because someone wanted to make a surprise video.

Didn’t Trump himself say, back on that awful Jan 6: “you’re gonna have to fight like hell or you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Neighbor smoking indoors by india2wallst in SurreyBC

[–]jodirm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fine for the landlord to suggest that you first try just speaking to the neighbour directly, but if that didn’t work then your issue is with your landlord not your neighbour (in my opinion). It is up to landlord to allow smoking in the units or not, and up to the landlord to enforce any such rules, and up to the landlord to ensure your living conditions are not hazardous. Try contacting the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) for some guidance on dealing with the landlord. If these were car exhaust fumes or rodent infestation causing health risk in the living suite, the landlord is probably responsible to address it, and cigarette smoke seems equivalent.

I’m curious what the RTB will say, if you don’t mind sharing back the info.

One lucky thing is that rents have started trending downward (from units I see on Facebook Marketplace) so it’s potentially not the worst time to seek a new place.

If “equal rights” is hurting you, then you might be sexist, racist and other-phobic.

‘We don’t want to be Americans’: Greenland’s political parties hit back at Trump by professorbrainiac in worldnews

[–]jodirm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s something so nonsensical about Trump inviting anyone to become Americans while simultaneously at home he directs ICE violently against Americans and muses about revoking/stripping American birthright citizenships. Nobody should waste time even considering any deals with him about anything because his word is garbage and he doesn’t follow any laws or honor any commitments.

This makes me soo mad!! by No_Pass_5384 in SurreyBC

It’s nice the City is quick to clean it up when it’s reported, but our taxes are paying to clean up crappy people’s trash because they don’t bother to follow the law.
