100% I'd consider it. For me, "Chinese EVs are dangerous" is in the same category as "immigrants are causing affordability issues." Red herrings peddled by the North American uber-wealth class

Maybe I'm getting carried away with the phalluses but it looks like Canada might also be enjoying a James Bay-shaped buttplug. Nice.

Ontario cannot afford another term of doug ford

Poilievre and Vance have plenty in common. They’re both relatively young (at least by the standards of the modern political gerontocracy).

"political gerontocracy" made me lol

Very cool. Also, bunny's breakfast would be a good username

Very helpful, thank you! You've inspired me to give making hummus another shot. I haven't been too satisfied with my results so far. Lots of good ideas in there. Like the pickled banana peppers juice. You sound like an awesome chef

Another preventative thing I do that I speculate is effective is I don't enter my phone number in online forms unless it's something important to me. They already have an email address of my choosing. Most online shopping, "Contact us" forms - heck no, I'm not entering my phone number. They don't need it. I don't want them to reach me by it. I usually provide valid local #s of large businesses or organizations if a form requires a number

Neat and sounds tasty! What spices are in the spiced water? I'm guessing you toast sesame seeds instead of using already prepared tahini, and do so to keep costs low?

Sorry to hear you're dealing with that. I don't pick up calls from numbers I don't recognize, with exceptions like if I know a service/delivery person will arrive soon. This is speculation, but I think that picking up fraud calls makes you more likely to be called again. Sorry I can't be more help

Ha!
As a fan of hummus, that sounds like horror or dystopia genre to me :P

Agreed. The landlords filed their complaint due to interest rates which had been really low for a long time not continuing to stay low in perpetuity. (As justification to permit raising rents 7.7x the previously stated legal limit) that is complete nonsense that reveals a lack of understanding of economics or an inability to understand risk. The fact that an arbitrator sided with them over such a nonsensical point is perhaps the most troubling thing of all to me, because it is completely unfair and is potentially opening the door to so much abuse of the renting class. Preventing turnover in property ownership, as this decision does, also seems troubling and unfair to those trying to purchase their first home, etc. It seems like pulling up the ladder to prevent new people being able to afford property

Nice to see our government making a good decision
