  • Whatever the version of an RRSP is in the states, usually you can change your investment strategy in it even if it doesn't hold individual securities. Most would have an international investments strategy that keeps your money out of the USA.

  • It's incredibly bizarre that that this is one of the very few cases where I think someone espousing a far right viewpoint could be argued to be passing Hobbes' Veil of Ignorance.

    He must be. He would easily end up in the mines given his present circumstances.

  • Assuming your financial decision making for a purchase of that magnitude isn't at the "we need to make this decision together" threshold: do it.

    He doesn't HAVE to use it just because you bought/installed it.

  • Baby boom

  • I imagine a mix of the already diminished size of extended family units, and the liability implications if it's outside your own family unit.

    You're essentially just describing an unlicensed daycare if it's not a family member, and those exist.

  • Baby boom

  • That's the goal. Maybe I'm in an exceptional area, but I'm not aware of any parents who are effectively paying $10/day unless their income is low enough to trigger additional benefits.

    Still HUGE improvement over the last few years though. I think we had an option for 18$/day if we packed our kid a lunch. Our daycare would feed them for an additional 3$/day. I think overall average care costs have practically halved in the last few years so even if it's not perfectly universal and perfectly $10, it's HELLA better. Strong improvement. Honestly a MAJOR factor in trying to figure out the feasibility of having more kids for us.

  • Dream job!

  • Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.

    I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.

  • Great article!

    My one critique would be with when FI is making a comparison between the US on some metric (eg, per capita income 2022)... The argument of "keep in mind Canada was enduring a global pandemic at that time" isn't a very sound counter-point. It was a global pandemic. If you want to say it depressed that number for Canada you have to explain why it didn't depress that number in the USA.

    The rest are pretty good. The FI is a fucking joke.

  • I'm torn if there should be a "voting day" stat at some point during early voting, or to directly make election day a stat.

    I voted Monday. Love advanced voting. Didn't have to even wait in any line for even a single second. The dude there said it never was "busy", but always "steady".

  • You can be upset about 2 things: where things are, and where things are going.

    It's become very fashionable to ignore a trajectory. "Build 3 more prisons in El Salvador".

    The issue isn't that at this moment I can opt-out. The issue is that the infrastructure inevitably demands usage.

    If you're not upset you're a collaborator.

  • Forget the "bloat". Windows has an advertisements engine. I'm not talking about some stupid OEM bullshit bundled thing... I'm saying the operating system itself.

    My OS (that I fucking paid for, no less) shouldn't be piping me advertisements and it sure as shit shouldn't be harvesting screenshots to train an AI model.

    CTrain Success

    I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
