I had one interviewer specially say she was committed to getting back to each candidate, no matter the outcome. I expressed genuine appreciation for that, saying that most places just ghost people.

She ghosted me.

To be fair, I’ve gotten texts from/for both Liberals and Conservatives.

I used Studio Tax for a few years and found it to be adequate. Last year I tried GenuTax and instead and I didn’t like it as much. Instead of presenting you with the forms and you fulling them (which StudioTax does) GenuTax asks you a million yes/no questions one at a time. If you select “yes”, then it shows you appropriate, corresponding form to fill out.

I guess the good thing about this method is you are presented all the possibilities, the bad thing is you have to yes/no everything, including a million things that probably don’t apply to you.

Also, its not always immediately clear what form a yes/no will lead to, meaning if you select something wrong, you have to back track to correct it. (The questionnaire is linear, you can’t just jump back and forth.) if you have a very basic return, that’s probably fine. But I had some small self-employed income and international tuition, and going back and forth trying to yes/no my way to the correct forms frustrated me enough to switch back to StudioTax and start again.

I feel badly for remote communities that were looking forward to these services, but Starlink is a security threat directly connected to a hostile nation that has been making overt threats to Canada. Moreover, we have already seen Musk will direct the company to turn off access to people he doesn’t like. There would have been nothing stopping Musk (his lackeys) from eavesdropping on communications and then cutting it off when he felt like it.

The only real way is to invest in other providers, preferably Canadian, preferably public, but most fundamentally anyone that’s not MAGA.

If this was 30 years ago, sure. However, just because Trump is now running the playbook full tilt doesn’t mean our issues from three months ago have disappeared. We don’t have the housing, infrastructure, and jobs for the people who are already here. If the country had not been irresponsible and careless with immigration and housing the last 20 years, we could do that now, but since we are where we are, we can only be selective now.

Well, that’s silly, all Signal chats are secret; it’s not like group chats are public.

“The group’s chat description identifies itself as a ‘clandestine’ group and new members are warned to ‘remember the first rule of Fight Club.’”

… Well, then.

I’d imagine he thinks that other evil rich people and sycophants whose immoral compasses are aligned are his friends, but in reality they’re around because it benefits them (or they think it does), and they’d stab him in the back as soon as it benefits them. (It’s just that so far it hasn’t benefited their morally corrupt causes yet.) So people like the deceased Epstein, and Canadian traitors Kevin O’Leary and Gretzky. AB Premier Danielle Smith wouldn’t even be an afterthought of a “friend” in this context, but she’s trying so desperately hard to be accepted, it’s pathetic.

The kinds of things you tell children as advice or to encourage them are directly opposed to Poilievre’s messaging. Let’s think about the usual type of things:

Stay in school; conservatives are anti-education
Be kind; his strategy is anger and division
Stay safe; tough on crime, because it is out of control (and its Trudeau’s fault)
You can do anything; (you can’t do anything because) Canada is broken

CPC values are literally inappropriate for children.

Yeah, if I were a doctor in the US, I’d choose a slight, even moderate, pay cut over getting thrown in prison (if lucky, and not just disappeared) for treating patients who need treatment.

Tesla does not have dealerships in the sense of dealerships being middleman franchises that have their own owners. Tesla is direct to consumer, meaning Tesla owns its stores.

I’m not saying this to negate what you said, rather to emphasize that the “suspicious” sales were not the act of some rogue local dealership owners, they are the actions of Tesla itself.

You might possibly be interested in checking out the YouTube channel MyDeepGuide. Guy does in-depth reviews ofbmostly e-ink writing tablets, which perhaps is more functionality than you’re looking for, but some of those manufacturers also do standalone “just” readers. Or maybe you’ll be convinced to get a writing tablet :p

For a serious response to your probably hypothetical question, I would give enough leeway to consider mental illness if the attack was truly random and the victim happened to be a hijabi. Of course, that would have to be substantiated with a medical history and what the (“alleged”) perpetrator said at the time of the attack, as the article is not specific about that.

I also hate attack ads, but… Is it really an attack ad if you simply play the recording of what someone else said without editing it to make it worse (because it’s already sufficient bad in its whole, truthful self)?

I’m saying everyone should have equal freedom to wear the headwear they want to wear or not wear, regardless of whether it’s for fashion, cultural, or religious reasons.

Yes, we do eventually find out what G stands for.

As bad as American prisons are, they are not on the scale as being deported (is that even the right word in this case?) to what amounts to a concentration camp in a foreign country without any process.

Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I’ll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.

I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I’ve had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.

A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I’m the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he’d said this, I’d already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn’t gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude’s choice of vehicle told me I’d made the right choice.

Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he’s changed his mind about it.

The lesson here isn’t “they shouldn’t be able to wear headwear, either”, but “I should be able to wear headwear, too”.

Yikes, I’m wondering how many people looked at and approved the ad through its different stages. This is an example why you need to get fresh eyes on things before publishing, people who are too close to a project have a skewed perspective.
