I don't date, no love and living? No I am surviving. Maybe I would if I was living and didn't have worries of not being able to make it next month. And I think it's a problem a lot of people have. I used to buy food without worrying too much about the cost, so I'd just get things I think were good, but now I bring limited amount of cash and just spend for what I deem to be essential. Because I know I can easily go over $100 of food in a week easily.

Those wine glasses are fucking massive
I've hated big wine glasses since they started to be used a lot. "But you can get your nose in it for the full experience!" Bitch, how big is your nose and do you smell out of the top of it?
I'm not a wino, but it does smell different at the top and bottom, so I think a huge glass increases that range for the wine to express itself.
My idea of a fancy bottle of wine was the $12 one, so it's not like was a connoisseur, and agreed these glasses look silly as all.
What an empty article.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s empty but it’s pretty much just a bunch of facts we already know.
The cost of living means i typically work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week to make ends meet. As someone who moved to a new city in the past few years, this lifestyle has absolutely crippled me socially. There are other factors that have made it difficult to meet people, such as dependance on social media for socializing, but the hours i work is definitely a major factor. My job tends to have me working with/for people 2-3 decades older than me so there hasn't been a ton of opportunity to meet friends through work.
Same boat here - those 60hr weeks are brutal on any chance of a social life, and i've found cutting costs wherever possible helps (like checking out portable power stations on gearscouts.com to reduce my electricity bill during peak hours).
The Federal government is buying half of all mortgage bonds. The new federal housing minister also said housing needs to stay elevated in price.
So prices are up by design. The poor are screwed in Canada because the NDP was corrupted by a rich lawyer.
because the NDP was corrupted by a rich lawyer.
lol what?¿
Jagmeet. He was a champagne socialist sporting a Rolex and a BMW, and held on just long enough for his pension, which lost the NDP party status. He was all for importing cheap labor from India until the UN called it modern slavery in which case he tried to blame the conservatives for allowing them to be exploited.
The NDP got slaughtered because nobody wanted Maple Donny to get a majority and so they voted Liberal instead. It was a single-issue election and the NDP weren't going to form a government. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew voting NDP was going to enable the conservatives.
LoL! What a load of BS.

Well heres the NDP immigration critic talking out of both sides of her mouth. The NDP loved cheap labor when we finally had some wage pressure, before the Bank of Canada raised interest rates to cool the job market, leading to double digit youth unemployment.
I don't think I'm reading between the same lines that you are. These both seem on-brand for the NDP (or even Liberals, with some edits). Wasn't the big push to import workers the brainchild of the Liberals under Justin, actually?
