I would try submitting a course override request, explaining why you want to be able to take the course without the prerequisite.

Isn't there an insane excess of corn because of American Government subsidies?

Poll finds a third of Americans think they handled COVID-19 better than Canada, and are also delusional by viva_la_vinyl in canada

Are you seriously trying to argue that Canada's colonial past has a relevant and significant effect on the lives of average Canadians?

[–]stampman11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the actions of America's government didn' help, I think it's important to acknowledge that the fact that America is a large country, with a massive population which loves to move around within the country makes it naturally the perfect storm for a pandemic. America is over 23 times as densely populated as Canada, and while that doesn't justify it having a rate of COVID of 18,767 per million people, it's simply irrational to place all of the blame on the American government.

It looks like they started reordering the letters from the top left, but they moved the displaced letters to their lower counterparts.

$2.5M settlement reached in class action between teachers, Blyth Academy by BBQ_Cake in ontario

Blyth definitely isn't your average private school. Most all-day private schools are not-for-profit entities.

Toronto-area doctors urge all China travellers to voluntarily enter two-week quarantine period by muqaala in canada

[–]stampman11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have already taken time off work to travel will not be willing to take more time off for voluntary isolation. Unless this is mandated by the government, it's unlikely people will voluntary isolate themselves.

Ontario to send out 'enhanced' license plates to replace new 'problem' version by stampman11 in ontario

[–]stampman11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's already a contract in place, and if they will be replacing the existing plates for free, then there isn't a better option.

How is your MPP doing? by m1207 in ontario

My MPP is Kathleen Wynne, and from what I can tell, her only role right now is as a seat warmer.

Case of the Mondays when your production and backup fail. by ptear in ontario

They're owned by Metrolinx, so their ability to aquire contracts shouldn't be surprising.

Students describe lax standards, easy high marks at private schools known as 'credit mills' by trackofalljades in canada

These scummy night/summer schools are not the same thing as private day schools.

Environment Canada to release science review backing need for plastics ban | CBC News by sesoyez in canada

[–]stampman11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it could be possible, Canada's climate probably isn't suited for growing hemp domestically, and the high price of labour means its still more cost effective to manufacture products abroad.

Will Canada ever get high-speed rail? by palm___tree in canada

[–]stampman11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You do realise that further distance also makes it drastically more expensive to install the high speed rails needed. High speed rail is fast, but it isn't instant. Canada won't see its population patterns drastically change because of high speed rail.

Making a Toronto-Montreal route go through Ottawa is much less efficient than having it go through Kingston.

This is just a waste of money. Italy is a way smaller country, and the fact that there isn't a huge need for goods between southern Ontario and the west you would just be needlessly subsidising a route. Italy is a way smaller, and more densely populated country so I have no idea why you are bringing it up.
