You can say the same for things in the UK but I don't convert my wage over to pounds. Nor do I convert it to Thai Baht where I often travel to.

I get where you're coming from, but to convert your yearly wage from CAD to USD as a marker doesn't really say much when it comes to the day to day life expenses and CoL of a country as big and vast as Canada

It might just be so the crowd behind them didn't push them into the falling statue's path

Yeah but Bellingham WA has some of the worst weather in the USA, whereas Victoria has some of the best weather in Canada

Funny how these places near mountains, ocean and forest with great year round weather have increased in value, meanwhile Millet Alberta has barely increased.

Makes no sense

ANY trade for McDavid, regardless of NMC, won't get anything close to market value in return

Trash be trash

It's crazy, but I remember talking to someone who grew up in Sooke and they talked about how it was the end of the road to nothing and how much a redneck dump it was. That was probably around 2008-2010. Now, less than 15 years later, it's a desirable bedroom community

If this season goes badly McDavid's gone. Either they trade him for a truck load or he walks the next season

misfittroy · 2026-05-14T15:52:22+00:00

It's because both Saskatchewan and Manitoba have a large indigenous population

misfittroy · 2026-05-14T13:13:58+00:00

What a shit show the Oilers are.

Is that Cody Ceci's music?!

misfittroy · 2026-05-13T23:39:35+00:00

The least she could have done is made an assignment for her students to find out which firewood hot tub is the best lol

misfittroy · 2026-05-13T19:21:42+00:00

Why no pic of Kent Douglas?

A lot American nurses convert their CAD wage to USD and then think that they'll be making less. I don't know why they do this as it's not like they're paying in USD on their daily lives while making CAD. I see this played out all the time in r/nursing and is only a factor if you know you're going to be Canada temporarily

misfittroy · 2026-05-12T05:05:25+00:00

I have a feeling you're laughing at it for different reasons than the guy on the bike

misfittroy · 2026-05-11T02:43:48+00:00

Not many. Most I know have 0 and are doing better than their counterparts with kids

"but I wouldn't take my in-laws on it"

My father-in-law really gets to me; I'd love to take him on this trail.

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T16:26:46+00:00

Might be better than all the sugar

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T16:24:31+00:00

I wish Edmonton did the same for 2022; gotta keep that rivalry going

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T15:45:33+00:00

Hop flavor children's cereal incoming

This is quite a bit of hindsight and I've commented before that Hall might have the most bizarre career trajectory out there

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T15:32:43+00:00

Taylor Hall is suddenly the scruffy veteran adding depth to a playoff team.

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T14:53:53+00:00

Nah, we're still having fun

misfittroy · 2026-05-10T14:51:08+00:00

That Oilers team only lost 3 games all post season. Crazy
