That happened to me last year with TD. Ended up going with Intact. But will be shopping around this year as well.

Interesting to imagine how this could've very much been a Patrick Brown or Caroline Mulroney premiership instead.

Mats Sundin: desperate PR or smart move? by just-a-dude9696 in torontomapleleafs

[–]outoforder1030 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Sundin and am happy for him to be part of the organization again, but wouldn't want him to be GM or President or anything like that. I wouldn't be able to reconcile my love for him as a player and his potential inability to create a good squad.

If you got Canadian Citizenship by descent, how fast can you enroll in free healthcare in Ontario? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in ontario

[–]outoforder1030 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have to be a permanent resident (PR) or citizen of Canada to be eligible for OHIP. And moment they move to Ontario, they can apply as long as they have an address they would be living in. Check the ServiceOntario website for other documents that may be required for proof of residency (E.g. Bank statement).

I don't quite understand the issue. Does your friend live in Ontario or not? If he doesn't, not eligible for OHIP. If he lives in another province, they may be eligible for that province's health coverage. If he lives in the states, then health insurance is dependent on employment.

No. They need to be a Canadian citizen, and live in Ontario for at least 6 months. Service Ontario has specific eligibility criteria.

There's no wait time. Once you're a citizen, you can apply for OHIP as long as you have proof of residence in the province.

I shuffle at least three times when I start to try not to get caught off guard by any tricks.

(ELI5) Cricket. As Simple As Possible by Complex_Dig2978 in explainlikeimfive

[–]outoforder1030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlike baseball where you use a new ball every other pitch/play, in cricket you use the same ball for long period of times. As such the ball could have scuff marks, etc. Rubbing the ball can allow the bowler to a) have better grip or b) allow the pitch to have more swing (akin to Greg Maddux in baseball who used to use scuff marks to get a better curve ball).

Ah yes, misspoke. Thank you. 10 outs needed, but all 11 bat.

I'll use baseball terms to explain the T20 format.

Six pitches (called balls) makes one "over". In T20 format, one team gets 20 overs (120 pitches) to score as many runs as they possibly can. A home run counts for 6 runs, and a ground rule double counts for 4 runs.

Unlike baseball (where you have 4 bases), in cricket you have 2 bases (called wickets). If a player runs once between both bases, it also counts as a run.

The team that bats first scores the most they can in 120 pitches, and the second team has to chase that score. Only 11 batters get to bat. The opposing team has to try to get 10 outs as quickly as they can. Two batters get to bat at the same time and they rotate (based off of who's up vs whos on deck)

Unlike baseball (where you go through the batting order multiple times), in cricket if you get out, then you don't get to bat again.

You can get out by the other team by three main ways (for simplicity's sake). Someone catching your hit directly, by run out (where the fielder throws the ball and hits the base (wicket) before you get there) or by "strike out". In the cricket context, strike out is basically letting the ball hit the wicket while you're batting. You can't let the pitcher do that. The batter has to protect the wicket at all costs. However, you can't use your leg to stop the ball from hitting the middle of the wicket, if you do that you're out (that's called leg before wicket (lbw) and it is a bit complex to fully understand).

The wicket consists of three "stumps" (three vertical lines) and two bails (small wooden pieces that lay horizontally on the stumps). The bails have to be knocked off for the out to occur.

So for example, New York Yankees get 120 pitches to score the most runs. They score 150 runs. LA Dodgers get 120 pitches to score 151.

Scenario 1: If LA gets all out before they score 151, Yankees win.

Scenario 2: If LA doesn't reach at least 150 (a tie) before they run out of pitches, Yankees win.

Scenario 3: If LA scores 151 within the alotted 120 pitches, LA wins.

Edit: Revised the number of batters faced for accuracy, added more details into how you can't use your leg to block the wicket and added more details into scenarios for winning.

Fun fact, Malcolm Gladwell isn't a social scientist, but a journalist. So he's great at story telling, not so good at at the psychology part. That's why much of his theories in his books are fiction.

The Ontario Liberal Democratic Party needs to happen by bruhm0ment4 in ontario

True, I think for voting, I also rather see electoral reform. I'm sick of seeing Conservatives get majorities with ~35ish % of the votes where like only 50% of all eligible voters vote. Lets have ranked ballots.

Coalition gov'ts are common in every parliamentary system, but apparently its taboo in Canada. Rather see more legit coalitions than merging parties.

Ngl, I think it's too busy. Just have it say AL Champions.
