I like the changes they did to the bathroom in Metrotown library The stalls are actually fully enclosed now. This should be the standard.

Any party that will kill this program (limiting to farm workers only) will win the 2025 federal election #cdnpoli
Quick 🧵 on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Traditionally, it was mostly used to find farm workers from abroad. That's still a big aspect of the program. But increasingly, it's used to find low-wage cooks, cleaners and construction workers.

Remember that Beijing Olympics ceremony controversy when Yang Peiyi (L) wasn't considered cute enough so her singing was lip-synced by another girl (R)? Postscript: Yang apparently kept singing, excelled academically, started a band, and recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill.

A popular Japanese post notes that Japan's economy was once so strong that they got Janet Jackson to speak Kansai dialect in a phone commercial.

With inflation decreasing, one presumes that the Trudeau government must have dramatically cut spending? And the same must be true for the US with inflation going down there too? Or, perhaps, inflation had other causes?

Japan to reduce speed limit from 60km/h to 30km/h on roads less than 5.5m wide from September 2026. Given how many kids run over by speeding drivers in recent years and no footpaths, good Japan to reduce speed limit on residential roads to curb accidents mainichi.jp/english/articles…

People on this platform love to use China and India's total CO2 emissions to say Canada is not the problem. Looking at the emission per capita though, Canada is 6.2 t higher than China and 12.2 t higher than India #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Yesterday, John Rustad announced a plan that would take $4 billion out of healthcare. People will pay the price for that. We’ve hired thousands of doctors, nurses, & other health workers in the last year but there’s much more to do. Let’s strengthen healthcare, not cut it.

川普:台湾抢走了我们100%的芯片制造业。他们还要我们保护,应该找他们要钱 ---- 这话里面对台湾的敌意和恶意都要漫出来了 我不知道是什么样的阅读能力可以理解成:哎呀,川普的意思是只要我们交保护费美国就可以驻军保护我们欸 --- 哪怕是“交保护费就保护”也可怕啊。敌方输送更多交更多,咋办

I feel old every time I read someone in their 20s writing/talking about a "retro game" that I played for hours during high school and university. But good to see people liking the PSP game Jeanne d'Arc

对付普京,就是对付中国,这就是为什么中国顶住这么大压力都支持要暗戳戳支持俄罗斯和普京原因。 一直以为,我们那位志大才疏,眼看美国🇺🇸要来一个更弱智的。🤦‍♀️
