I wish this was just fear mongering or something from a science fiction novel, but it's from an official Canadian federal government report.
Except the report came from a Liberal government office. I also wonder why Lemmy is so far-left, despite it being a free-speech platform (where ideally it should be in the center).
Idk what getting food at night looks like for you but if you’re banging around making noise in the kitchen at 11pm and wanting your family to put up with it with eye masks and ear plugs is selfish. Your home isn’t a dorm. Personally that would drive me insane but you could be quiet and she is being overly dramatic.
Ok. Overly dramatic? I don't know. Some of my siblings sleep on the same floor as the kitchen on a couch in a room with no doors (because we have a lot of people in a small house). I try to be quiet and not make too much light though and not to go to the kitchen when they're already sleeping.
I can't talk to my parents at all about anything serious
Like, if she asks me some question that I'm afraid to answer, I literally just freeze. I also find myself in the mentality of "it's not worth talking to them unless they're forcing answers out of you".
My parents almost never say anything nice about me. To them I'm just "the bad one". When they criticize me, most of the time I just roll my eyes and say nothing unless I'm required to because in most cases, either they've probably said it like a million times (and I still couldn't fix), or it's something that I don't agree with, or it just makes me angry and gets me in the attitude of "it's not worth talking to them about this". Of course, I do try to listen when it's something legitimate.
They also used to control me a lot. Like, they'd always be controlling my studying, and ask me for my grades (or just log into my school account and check my grades directly) and yell at me and/or be dissapointed when I got bad marks. Hence, I used to lie a lot to them. When I got into university,
Communism is just people trying to create heaven on earth but without God.
I don't know. I once thought I had ADHD, but my mom said she didn't think so (and managed to convince me). Plus, I don't really like the idea of having to take meds like that (and I'd rather fix my habits instead).
I can't set any routine, am always late for class, have a lot of missing quizzes/assignments, and I just suck.
Right now, I'm a 2nd year student in university doing Computer Science.
In my later years of high school and first few years in university, my parents (especially my dad), have been very much forcing me to study and getting yelling at me over a single bad mark. While it did give me good marks, it made me so stressed out that one day I just decided that I couldn't handle it anymore and resisted. At the time I also thought that if my parents kept on managing me like that, then I'll never really learn how to be truly independent and take control of myself.
After that, they did leave me alone. However, the next semester after that, I failed a course - something which has never happened before. I told myself that it was just a hard course at the time.
This semester, I have lowered my course load from 5 courses to 3. However, I'm always missing or being late to my classes (either it's because of bad time management, having to rely on the bus, or I just don't bother to show up, or I jus
Nah, they’re never going to want to give any type of personal contact to a random person they don’t know, even if it’s just a work email.
To be fair, every time you call someone, the number shows up on the recipient's call history, but I get your point.
I’ve been working since I was 14.
Man, you are lucky. I regret not getting a job during the summer in high school.
We have coop and internships, but at least for coop I first have to take a special course in order to get into the coop program. I also attended the job fair at my school, but there was basically nothing for CS.
Oh. I thought they'd just use email (since everyone has email nowadays). I feel like I'm just actively screwing my chances of getting hired. :(
I’m worried because I never really had a job, and because I need to pay for the bus to go to places (where I absolutely need to go), I fear that I may run out of money and I currently have a minuscule amount. Plus, I really wanted to move out of my parent’s house sometime. So, starting in the beginn...

So, starting in the beginning of January, I have actively been looking for part-time entry-level jobs (since I'm currently in university and just can't have a full-time job) at places like Starbucks, McDonalds, TimHortons, grocery stores, and so on, but I never got any replies. I've been applying using Indeed, the company's website, and even walking into the stores. I've lost count of how many resumes I've given out.

I am very anxious about not having a job despite actively searching and handing out my resume for around 2 months now and I wonder if I'm doing anything stupid.

Carney and Freeland have ties to the Canadian government sure, but Carney has better credence to say he is less politically minded and has a resumé filled with global experience, especially in contrast with Poilievre
Ok, true, but I believe Poilievre has a lot more of experience being a minister than Carney.
With respect to the response to tarriffs, when you say fix the border, I have only one question for you: How many illegal immigrants and how much in illegal drugs does the CBSA, border czar and whatnot need to catch in order to satisfy Trump enough to call off tariffs?
Too little and Trump will say Canada is not doing enough and letting crime slip through. Too much and Trump will insist Canada is still full of crime. And the trade war itself was started over one suitcase worth of fentanyl. Hopefully you can see that accepting the bully’s premise on the border is unwinnable for Canada.
Good question. Suppose that Poilievre wins the next election and actually manages to stop most of the crime in Canada and greatly secure our borders to intercept most of the drugs going from Canada to the US and catch most of the illegal immigrants (however I believe bringing crime to 0% and making it completely impossible for illegal immigrants and drugs to get through is literally impossible), and yet Donald Trump still says that Canada is full of crime and goes on with the tariffs. In that case, we'd still have less crime and more secure borders. Plus, maybe it could be possible to negotiate with Trump like how Danielle Smith has done?
Plus, it is quite risky to have most of your trade being done with only 1 single country. I believe that Canada should stop relying on the US so much for trade anyways and trade more with other countries.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that there are a lot of criminals who get into Canada legally as refugees because of our bad border policies and that during the previous Conservative government, nobody was complaining about our borders or the immigration. So, maybe we can just revert to what we previously had before Trudeau?
My own personal opinions of Mark Carney and the Liberal's "Team Canada" approach.
Honestly, I believe that this whole "Team Canada" response to Donald Trump's tariffs is just stupid and it will only end up hurting Canada much more than it would hurt the US. Compared to the US, our economy is so weak that the US wouldn't even care if we put 100% tariffs on all goods coming from the US into Canada or completely stopped buying all goods from the US.
I think that a much better response to Trump's tariffs would be to simply fix the Canadian border and stop relying on a single country for most of our trade. But no, thanks to Justin Trudeau, our parliament is currently prorogued, meaning that we currently can't pass any legislation and actually get to dealing with the problem and the Liberals refuse to un-prorogue parliament to buy time for the Liberals to allow them to choose their leader. Instead of actually solving the problem, they manufacture a crisis out of this whole scenario (when the solution is so simple).
Also, before you start saying that I'm not for Canada
