    Stock up on that liquor!

    Should be great for local breweries and vineyards. Not to mention the beer store is open, the wine shops are open, restaurants allow take-out alcohol now.

    Stock up on that liquor!

    I read a Global article today about how the Liberals got to the $1billion price. They are absolutely ridiculous. The priority when I buy a bottle of wine isn't to employ as many government workers as possible.

    D-Day

    During my commute today CBC radio ran their story from 1945 archives from their field reporter in Normandy. It was pretty neat.

    Deck vs Fire escape

    I'm thinking wood deck with stairs. I get that rules don't always make sense but many houses have wood decks or front porches. I'm wondering if maybe they don't follow the same code? the metal fire escape steps are definitely not as wide as normal steps. My thoughts are that maybe if the wood...

    Deck vs Fire escape

    I recently bought a tri-plex. The metal steps/deck for the third floor fire egress are pretty rusty, starting to have some holes. Structurally it seems okay but I would like to investigate replacing. My dad used to build metal fire escapes and could help fabricate a new one but I'm thinking wood...

    Adoption in Ontario

    It's been awhile since my wife and I looked into it but I think that the biggest negatives was: -If a birth parent gets their act together then they will likely take the kid back. This happened to a co-worker of my mom who had a nursery all ready multiple times, brought home a baby, bonded, then...

    These Conservatives

    Mis-communication. I meant when the liberals call them boogie men that I'm surprised PP doesn't use this a defense more often.

    These Conservatives

    "In 2023, Poilievre – whose adoptive father is gay" This is new information to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that or that it matters at all. gay dad. immigrant wife. I'm surprised that that stuff doesn't come up more when liberals are throwing accusations at conservatives. Pierre...

    Yard art

    In the garden, I used two old sprockets to make a crab shell, then chopped up an old motorcycle chain for legs, then cut up some open ended wrenches for claws and welded it all together. Now if my wife questions the excessive old motorcycle parts being hoarded, I'm just waiting for more inspiration.

    900,000 students coming in…

    That's kind of the point. Some use it most don't. You don't need a master's degree to do social work (as the banana picker eventually ended up doing). I think that we could reduce the amount that tax payers kick in, causing tuition to go up and hopefully match the supply of graduates with the...

    900,000 students coming in…

    I remember quite a few years ago seeing a ranking in McLean's magazine of the least employable degrees. At the time psychology topped the list. I would imagine that such a list still exists and could be used to direct government funding. If the majority of psychology grads are serving coffee...

    900,000 students coming in…

    Unionized wire pullers with 1 decent industrial electrician, also they're not allowed to use cell phones while working, not allowed on company wifi/poor service, etc. I'm not sure why Engineering degree grads are afraid to say that they need to google something. It's entertaining to watch...

    900,000 students coming in…

    I've interviewed many University grads for robotics technicians and haven't hired any yet. They over think problems that college / trades background people can just look at or use their hands-on skills to solve. For my favorite interview question I go to the stock room and grab a random sensor...

    Woke?

    I've yet to meet any carrying a soap box. There are a few at my work. We had to change signage on bathroom doors which was dumb but otherwise they are pretty quiet. I couldn't imagine berating them if they politely asked me to refer to them as something else. I'd likely say "sure" and continue...

    Woke?

    Just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean that you can't be respectful. I'd try to call someone what they want if they were respectful on their part. It's no skin off my back. If they're being a douche, well I can do that too. Curious if you've ever had the balls to stand up to a trans-person...

    TikTok Canada

    Judging by the number of people that jumped on board making excuses for Russia when they invaded Ukraine, as well as many other wild conspiracies that have grabbed traction I believe they are already driving that wedge. I think that there has even been some intelligence reports in the news over...

    TikTok Canada

    You'd pick China? Yes the US is far from perfect but China? Uygers, Hong Kong, Taiwan all happening right now. Also, it's not the spying that's the issue. It's that a foreign government is controlling the news source of a generation. They can seed conspiracy theories, drive the left to the...

    3D printed homes

    Speaking of which, what is the benefit over poured concrete? The 18 hrs. is the print time. I would think the difference in set up, clean and maintain a 3D printer that size would wouldn't be majorly different then the time to set up pre-engineered forms. Pouring the concrete definitely wouldn't...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I'd like to see some supporting evidence on that. Considering most engines outlast the cars that they are in now-a-days. When the engine in my Nissan Stanza died I got a replacement for $600 from a scrap yard and installed for 1K at the dealership (parts and labour were at cost, family...

    Umar Zameer

    I doubt he'll say anything more. Let it wash away with todays news cycle. No need to draw more attention to his tweets. The only people who will care about this next month is the cops and zameer family.
