I will never understand Canadians obsession with blowing leaves with a gas powered blower at 8am. Like get an electric blower or just use a rake. Every single day for hours, drives me insane.

I don’t get how digital ID will solve illegal labour? Surely it’s on employers to check right to work? Just fine the fuck out of Deliveroo and Uber Eats etc if they’re caught doing it.
Undocumented workers will still be undocumented and exploited by companies. Having a digital ID changes nothing.

I’ve driven almost 20,000km across canada in the last 3 months, and now seriously considering adding another 4,500km to drive back to Vancouver from Toronto. Am I stupid or should I just ship my car back and fly?

the people who write google reviews for coffee shops are insane. it’s always “best coffee ever”, and when you try it, it tastes like someone dumped an ash tray into a cup with a sprinkle of dirt. literally no good coffee in these small towns, and i’m not drinking a tim’s.

bc has truly spoiled scenery for me. I’m in cape breton, people travel from all over to see its beauty (and it is beautiful), but it looks like any “average” part of bc.
