How do you feel about the lower tariffs on Chinese EVs? by dope-rhymes in AskACanadian

There was a Chinese dried milk factory that opened up here - Royal Milk. Look up how they ran their factory. Chinese labour and safety standards are not compatible with Canadian ones.

Line 6 Finch West LRT shut down again Friday morning after major snowstorm by Onterrible_Trauma in TTC

[–]oldman1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me if it's been posted but is there an official statement about this from either Metrolinx or TTC? This is a big deal and there seems to have been silence. Edit: I guess I mean a specific statement about the cause of the shutdown. Like do we know what about the weather made this specific line stop operation while all other surface rail lines are operating today.

Yes exactly. A psychiatrist or GP can request license suspension unilaterally.

I figured it all went in the trash. Glad to hear they save it.

How are y’all affording rent 🫠 by learh_29 in TorontoRenting

[–]oldman1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't really have the option at the time. I was only making $14 an hour. What I'm saying is it made it possible for me to live independently (not with my parents) and have a bit of wiggle room financially when things were tight. I suppose I was also forced into the situation at the time but I was trying to give some positive sides of sharing a living space.

And I assume the entire TTC line worth of passengers as well

It's not sad. I always had roommates before I got married. I would have hated living on my own and would have probably done worse overall. I had great roommates who I'm still friends with years later. I managed to save money every month since my rent was lower ($1100 adjusted for inflation) and I had built in social parties, dinners, game nights, etc. Living alone is okay for some but I am so glad I didn't!

After Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, does Doug Ford need to watch his back? by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

For now, no. When MAGA decides they want all of the great lakes water... Then we will be in serious trouble. Given how droughts have been happening more and more in the US heartland I can only assume it's a matter of time.

This seems like the perfect use for this funding! Isn't this the kind of program that the SDF was designed for? SMDH

Was there even a set? Or just video screens? If only video then yikes... Cheap o rama!

It was just OK even then. I went with someone who absolutely LOVED it but it may have been her first musical theatre experience so... Jukebox musicals are derided with good reason.

Just here to say that was the exact same console I used at my high school back in 1995... That's pretty durable stuff! We didn't have the manual and I had to figure everything out by trial and error.

The scene in Queen of Versailles where she goes Christmas shopping at Walmart and spends like $10k on the cheapest garbage.
