Dad. MaxVax. Blood donor. Strives to be good, not bad 🇨🇦

I’ve grown tired to the point of despondency by the politics of grievance
Hmm

Probably not in Calgary 🇨🇦 at Class Clown for their Coney Fries*

crinkle-cut fries topped with a sweet & tangy beef sauce, melted cheese, and crushed Hawkins cheezies, and garnished with chives

Delicious & healthy (or maybe not the latter)

* but come up & enjoy them

There’s a lot going on there

Fair. More supply is key

Harris’ plan wasn’t THE solution. It was an option

From my vantage point as an outsider, looks like 🇺🇸 got no options. Or worse

Tariffs on 🇨🇦 softwood, steel & aluminum drive up prices of all housing: new & reno

Plus: Rising inflation & interest rates & unemployment? Eek

There were few details, as I recall. But that’s a reasonable concern

It could’ve been a good pilot program

if it showed the market for 1st time owner/ starter homes was there, it could be tweaked into a “new home building incentive thing” that might mitigate that issue

Better than nothing

But adding more supply of first time homes whether houses, infills, duplex, quadplex, apartments, etc doesn’t necessarily lower value across the board

It makes entry level housing more affordable

If you get equity into it, not just pay interest, that’s good leverage for possible next buy

On a recent trip to the 🇺🇸 , I made the mistake of walking down the grocery store aisle with what seemed like 800 flavours of pop tarts.

It was… a very American experience

Didn’t Harris propose a $25k first time homeowners assistance program?

Original green dude is cooler than the big head robot one. And the later versions trying to combine them are the right decision with the JLU animated version doing that best

The consistent use of the three dot thing on its head is good to add some flavour

They know, obviously

But energy is our largest export, a huge employer, generates a ton of tax revenue, home to many of our largest corps, is a investment target from individuals & pension funds (incl CPP) etc etc

🇨🇦 needs other industries to offset that importance. Where are they?

💯. The whole series was great.

Started with Book of Three, same age, Gr 4. Picked it up in a bookshop in Victoria BC, read the first few chapters in the shop waiting for mum shopping

Plowed through them all in record time. Within a yr Gwydion was the name of my first D&D character in California

Excellent run

Herc & Amadeus were a great buddy road trip comedy duo with a tour of marvel’s odder places & supporting characters, with just enough real drama to keep it grounded

Big thumbs up on the run

As many note it's a Canada-wide thing (perhaps now more so because of the stay-in-canada tourism jump?).

Minus the flights, travelling in, say, Japan and Europe has been cheaper than Canada over the last few years (accommodation, food, etc).
