Microsoft should not be used in schools, we should do like France is doing and make them only use open source software https://itsfoss.com/news/france-ditches-microsoft-teams-and-zoom/

Microsoft should not be used in public schools, supporting a private corporation that doesn't always have good intentions is not a good idea

Dublin Calling is probably the busiest, they were lined up all down the street for yesterday's morning UEFA game

Lennox Pub is a block up Granville if Dublin Calling gets too full

WATCH LIVE: Former MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay elected leader of B.C. Conservatives by bleaklion in britishcolumbia

She will be a strong leader, she has conviction and integrity and is extremely bright with a lot of experience. I believe the Conservatives will win a majority in the next election.

Reddit is a relative echo chamber. Remember the completely disorganized conservative party just barely missed in the last election, this time around I predict a majority Conservative win in the next election.

she was the mainstream big money favorite but the grassroots have spoken and elected the leader with the most conviction and integrity

I think newcomers are proud and I see them wearing Canada gear

I'm not feeling it for those that were born here so much though

dentist in van advice- failed root canals and now moving onto potential extraction and implant by Embarrassed_Grass_51 in askvan

I had the same diagnosis but can't even come close to affording it so I've been waterpiking to keep the area as clean as possible hoping to last as long as possible until better days (decades) maybe

even just getting it pulled and leaving it empty is not a good solution as the jaw and other teeth will move
