Wow... Ouch...
We have something similar if your down payment is less than 25% of the property value, which adds 2% to the interest rate. But we also have personal life insurance (which may or may not be combined with long-term disability or job loss insurance) that protects the insured.

Canadian here. Isn't mortgage insurance an option? Or are its rates as exorbitant as your health insurance premiums?

Share books? I've been doing so for 50ish years.
And books are a staple among the gifts I give, whatever the occasion.
As for voting the mf out, I cannot vote in Alberta. But believe me when I say I keep my eyes WIDE open in my neck of the wood...

100% In Montréal, we have Croque-livres (kids) and Boîtes à livres (all) where books are left to be shared within the community. Pretty sure same can be found all across Canada.

Nope. We need to keep the books in the schools and toss the mf out.

Given that they are now on the 1,270th day of their three-day war in Ukraine, it is safe to assume that they are living in a different time dimension.

Or an American asking for ketchup on his entrecôte bordelaise in Larochelle (1986). The chef stormed out of the kitchen pan in hand, screaming, and throught the guy out of his restaurant. For a while, I honestly feared he would hit him... Felt like I was watching a bad comedy.

Military service is compulsory in Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Austria and Denmark, among others. These are also social democraties with public health and education systems.

Yes, be it block lists or add lists. You need to visit those regularly.

I bet all military academies worthy of the name have updated their curricula over the past three years.

Do I fully understand everything you explain and demonstrate? No. No I do not. But Wikipedia and DeepL are my friends, thank goodness...

Just a quick note to express my admiration and gratitude for your posts, Prune60. You have a unique way of looking at your subjects, and you go off the beaten track. Not gonna lie, I never thought I'd be interested in russian agriculture, economics, aviation or even trains.
