I would love to pump some baby batter into my gf and start having a kids, can't do that while we're stuck living paycheque to paycheque on a combined 130k in my parents basement.

Pretty much, the plot was dumb and the story wasn't much better but that didn't stop it from being a fun watch. Ironically Ryan Gosling, a man, was the best part of the movie.

Tame is a good word to describe the messaging.

Barbie was a funny movie, the only people complaining about "the propaganda" are retards who don't understand women are people.

You know what, I'm gonna say it: they're graphic design skills have really improved since the first convoy. I'm really proud of them.

The drop shadow on the text still gives off that unhinged clip art vibe but I'm gonna chalk that up to branding.

That's pretty much all of Canada, even our biggest cities are too scared to zone properly in fear that they'll have to actual govern and educate their electorate, easier to just assume the next guy will.

I've been a public servant for three years and all I've taken away from my short time is that the public can't be trusted to do anything to benefit society.

Remove zoning restrictions and someone will build. Give them the incentive by making what you want to build easy and most will jump on it instead of going through a 5 year long rezoning process to build a 30 story tower.

Of course they did. Fixing it would cut into profits and hurt their "clean green" image so they didn't do anything.

Remember when pot was decriminalized and everything fell into bedlam and chaos just like we were warned about for 50 years.

That's too much to expect from the average Canadian which is why the cons control the majority of the provinces despite royally fucking them up. Canadians don't understand how government works.

The review found not-for-profit facilities spent about 25 per cent more per resident on direct care when compared with for-profit care.

No shit, yet the people most effected by this will continue to vote for the party pushing for for-profit healthcare. I wish this country wasn't run by fucking corrupt assholes empowered by children.

To add to this, most land in cities is zoned to only permit one residentual house, maybe a suite or two depending on the municipality and size of the parcel. Any time someone wants to build an apartment or anything other than what's permitted they are required to apply for a zoning amendment and have it approved via council. Rezonings can often take several months to years to go through and depending on who council is and how strong the opposition's voice is, the rezoning may get denied. So it's kind risky, even moreso of you need to apply for an Official Community Plan amendment as well as ask for a bunch of variences to things like setbacks, parking, etc.

If you're curious, your city will have a zoning map available online that your can look at to see how much is zoned to only allow one house. It's generally called Residential 1,or R1, or Low Density Residential or something like that and will coloured light yellow, maybe light blue.

As a Nanaimoite. Go fuck yourself Alberta, go fuck yourself Smith. Stop trying to interfere in BC politics and tell your transplants to learn how to take a fucking corner without braking.
