  • As a Canadian, yes please. Their culture infiltrates ours so much that there are some people who believe in the American superiority and don’t understand that we’re two different peoples, with very different approaches to how we should live and treat others. Obviously, we Canadians are not perfect, and we have more in common than not but it’s disheartening to hear Canadians (including people in my own inner circle) view our country as nothing but the USA’s little bitch.

    I get the world is sliding right, and our political pendulum definitely swings. But I worry that in the efforts to acknowledge the harms that we’ve done (and currently do) to people in our own country, that the backlash to those policies and acknowledgments will cause us to lose things that I’m proud of and freedoms that I enjoy.













  • The problem is when people say “financial losses” about services. Canada Post goes everywhere and is a service in our country. Much like healthcare and education. No one says “education profits are at an all time low and our hospitals have losses in the billions” because they are public services. These are things that as taxpayers, we value and use to make us a society

    Canada Post is not fucking FedEx or UPS and shouldn’t be held in the same regard as it.

    (this is not saying that they couldn’t be more efficient though, to this I have no comment that isn’t likely uninformed).




  • Got to around 30 yrs old

    I realized that I, on paper, really like non-fiction books. In practice, I really only like fantasy and space operas (different than sci-fi)

    Every night before bed, I read 10 pages or a chapter. Whichever comes first. Can always read more, but not less.

    So to answer,

    Almost every night Fantasy / space opera Mid 30s, father I’ve added audiobooks to my commute The most important part (I think) is figuring out what you like, and then setting a small but achievable routine
