I thought you were talking about some obscure car until number 4
That won't hurt, but it won't fix the issue. There are places with little to no zoning that have gone up in value just as fast as everywhere else.
Japan has practically zero zoning, and yet Tokyo is still more expensive per square foot than any Canadian city in terms of the core area and that's with a population that's in decline. They built tiny to keep things barely affordable, but theres no reason why Canada should need to go anywhere near that level of density with the amount of land we have even in just the reasonable parts of Canada.
Isn't that period exactly when developers stopped building new dedicated rental housing and put us into this hole we're currently in?
The article states that CMHC saw no difference between rent controlled and non-rent controlled markets in rental starts, but ignores the fact that overall rental starts dropped.
Short term gains, for long term pain.
What we need is Land Value Taxes, short term pain for long term gain. Unfortunately there just aren't enough people willing to vote away the current system.
This is 100% the case.
In addition to the sidewalk issue other have mentioned, I've seen these signs in apartment garages for spots where hazards from the ceiling exist. Often the hood of the vehicle fits under the hazard, but the back of a van or a truck with a canopy would hit it.
Plus, the US would massively benefit from having tracking stations outside of their own borders to see much further away. The most direct path from anywhere in Russia or China to the US mainland (sorry Alaska and Hawaii) always passes over Canada with the one exception being from Southern China to Oregon and California, and that route passes over Alaska.
They didn't even realize covid was killing them while they died in droves, so my bet is on never.
You think it's a kids job to learn how to become an adult themselves? What the fuck
I'm 40, with my own kids. I've been teaching them everything I think they should know how to do to be an adult when they move out. How to cook and clean, make a budget, fill out forms, how to show up on time, be part of a team, etc. The school is taking care of most of the academics, but I add some extra things that the school fails to cover as extensively as I'd like such as how to properly use Microsoft Excel.
What they do to grow once they're out of the house isn't my problem, I'm just setting the foundation and that absolutely is the job of parents and teachers.
Practice can also be on using AI.
I think a lot of this is going to boil down to companies figuring out how to determine if someone can successfully use AI to produce output faster, or lack the skillset to do so. If you manage to get through university using AI and the profs are happy with the results, why wouldn't a company be happy with the results?
Nobody asks me if I can do the math behind the spreadsheets I build, but I couldn't do most of it by hand at this point because it's been so long since I practiced that.
You're not wrong, but also you aren't right. The basics that you need should be taught to you by your parents and at school before you move out. AI isn't interfering with either of those at this point.
You couldn't manage your life in the event of every possible problem either, the question then becomes which things should you know how to do yourself, and which things can be delegated.
I don't know how to repair a car beyond changing a tire or the oil, but even that isn't really necessary anymore since many cars don't even come with a spare at this point and knowing how to change the oil is now irrelevant to me, since I'm using an EV.
Knowing how to ferment for preservation may come in handy for saving a couple of dollars, but it's hardly a life saving skill anymore. Even in the event of a massive catastrophe, it's unlikely that fermentation would come in handy before aid arrived or you were able to leave the area.
It's pretty much impossible for it to not include at least a good part of Canada. Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal are all within the margin of error distance/routes to the US for incoming ballistic missiles.
This ain't some iron dome 10km range situation.
Significant additional fireproofing in homes, and especially in beds.
EKG required for anyone overweight or older than 60 before engaging the services of an escort.
A lot more murders occur and go unsolved due to a lack of evidence.
