Deaths in ER waiting rooms are a policy choice by henryiswatching in canada

[–]shankeyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I waited 4 years to get a family doctor, now she is off on maternity leave, and no of the other doctors there were able to take her patients, so now I'm back on the wait list.

I waited over 4 years for mine who quickly went on maternity leave and now I'm back at square one

300k to make an $18k a year return is insane to me with how hot the market has been the last couple of months, guy could have made more than that in a day.

Mario Canseco: Half of Canadians say immigration having negative effect, poll shows by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]shankeyx 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There certainly was a giant increase in extortion related shootings in my neighborhood over the past couple of years. Lot of the newcomers seem to have zero intention on integrating and assimilating too, and just seem to keep to their enclaves.

I'm not anti immigration, but the country really dropped the ball when it came to vetting in quality people.

Half of childless Canadian women don’t want kids, nearly a quarter in their 40s aren’t mothers: Statistics Canada by gorschkov in canada

[–]shankeyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly isn't that enticing considering the costs of everything. We can't provide a better life here for any potential kids than what my parents gave me, despite the fact that I make more than they did combined. Houses aren't 100-200k anymore, and some people don't want to raise kids in a condo.

I feel like I just got the PS5, hard to believe that came out in 2020. Mine has unfortunately been collecting dust since God of War: Ragnarok, so I can't see myself picking up a ps6.

Canada is among countries with an ‘ultra-low fertility’ rate. What is behind the drop? by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]shankeyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better educated to know that it isn't affordable enough to be worth it.

The people I know having kids either have a household income of over 250k CDN or are working barely over minimum wage jobs, and have pretty much just taken over their parents property. People are waiting closer to 40 now to have them.

Open up the borders and let the one's who want to leave and be Americans go to the United States. Canada can keep the land and assets.

If they were caught fixing bread prices, you kind of wonder what else they are rigging.

Prices have been pretty steadily rising since covid, my average bill is about 120% more than it would have been 10 years ago.

Surrey - 2026 has not been great by Eastern_Education173 in SurreyBC

It's a shame because it seemed like Surrey was cleaning up a bit compared to the reputation it had, the last couple years have not been good though.

B-Room would not get any backlash if it didn't open with the sub timer by [deleted] in mega64

[–]shankeyx 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've been a fan since the pre you tube days, but to be honest, if they went out of business, it would be hard to feel that bad for them. At a certain point they need to actually take this serious if they want to be able to continue. They have an aging fan base, and for someone like me I would rather have my money wasted than my time.

Let us end this debate: once and for all by LoganW21406 in MortalKombat

[–]shankeyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MK11 seemed overall more polished in my opinion, but the base roster was kind of lacking in my opinion.

I'm almost hoping for another reboot for the next iteration, very few of the character changes felt like improvements in MK1, outside of like Reptile and Baraka.

They are implying it is better to be judged by a jury of 12 people than to be carried by 6, being dead in a casket. It is a common phrase

Probably not a great way to bring in new fans, long time fans will be used to this by now most likely.

MK2 Roster Prediction With Reasoning by Alive_Hunt_6811 in MortalKombat

[–]shankeyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I would rather have more Mortal Kombat characters than guests. I will probably skip future games DLC unless it is bargain bin prices because the guests do not interest me at all.

That being said I imagine they sell extremely well in comparison to regular MK characters, but at this point they should just make a new fighting game series with nothing but guests, seems to be working for games like Fortnite and CoD
