In BC we have a short winter day, so adding an hour of daylight at the end when many are done work is helpful. And summer the sun rises at 4:30 on daylight time so stick to Daylight time is good, moving to standard time would menq sunrise at 3:30 am. Yuck
Yeah even Windsor ( the Motor City) did this. What’s wrong with Vancouver these days??
Its purposely the same as when it started in the 90s. Loads fast, no ads, just old school HTML links.
They have worldwide sites
Yeah I just prefer daylight at 4:30am not 3:30am in Summer. For winter it doesn’t matter so much here because the solid cloud and rain means it is dark all day.
Daylight time is better for BC. Otherwise we’d be getting up at 3:30am with the sunshine
I have Iranian friends, they understand what the US is, but they said the regime just outright kills civilians enmasse at protests, so its the old the enemies of my enemy are my friends
BC winter is dark and gloomy in the morning and dark again by 3:30. So this won’t mean much for us, other than some actually usable daylight
Craigslist. Highly popular in certain provinces compared to Kijiji, and there are no ads or other stuff. Just plain old text based webpages.
The site is free for buy, sell, give-away and trade between individuals. This model seems to be funded by companies that want to pay a fee to list housing or jobs.
This. Diplomacy with an unhinged neighbour is taking steps to decouple, while giving trump the ego stroke he looks for.
So they want to root out members that believe fascism is bad? I would hope every member is against fascism.
Mostly my info came from people who lived there, and they weren’t overly critical. Just that Canada was a better life
It typically is in Canada because until the stories are proven you don’t know what went down.
USA has election fraud, admin arresting/prosecuting political enemies, censoring media, arresting journalists. Its all the same, US is just in control of their own PR
Thanks for links, I asked because you came across as knowing more than I.
The Cubans I have met didn’t talk very negatively about their homeland, just that the US embargo’s cripple their country and so life is harder than what they see in rich countries, and so wanted more.
We have some subsidized enrollment in Canada too, but in a communist system its not about subsidizing a for profit system by application approval, its about providing it to all as a service.
As for cancer treaments mine was head and neck cancer (all free in Canada) but it was old medicine techniques of blast and (hopefully) recover. Cuba with non profit pharmaceutical had come up with a “cure” for it but not available in USA or Canada because of the stupid politics and restrictions.
I’m not purporting they are a utopia, but I think USA media paints a dictator regime propaganda, while doing the exact same thing themselves.
Political scientists characterize the political system of Cuba as a single-party authoritarian regime where political opposition is not permitted.[12][13][14] There are elections, but they are not considered democratic.[15][16] According to the V-Dem Democracy Indices, Cuba is the second least democratic country in Latin America.[17] Censorship of information (including limits to internet access) is extensive,[18][19][20] and independent journalism is repressed in Cuba;[21] Reporters Without Borders has characterized Cuba as one of the worst countries in the world for press freedom.[22][23]
If this is the comment you meant, then its not really a good one, you are describing the current US ADMIN.
Can you cite the oppression? Because I have seen you get free medical school there and they have cancer treatments other countries don’t.
Seems like all you need for bus lane use these days is a highend BMW or RangeRover
The lineups say a lot of people still do. I honestly can’t fathom why. Their donuts are no longer fresh baked onsite, their coffee is terrible since they lost their distributor to MacDonalds, and all the other food is terrible.
I just hope this kept them busy and stopped a lot of those Starlight walks they were doing to indigenous folk
That really sucks. My friends dad had that, he chose MAID and was through the procedure in a week. He had already suffered for many months leading up to diagnosis and didn’t want to have 4-12 weeks of more pain. He left on his own terms.
Yes, even with drapes and a roller blind at 4 ish I’m starting to wake up from the light coming in. By 5 am in full Summer it seems like what wouldbee late morning elsewhere. Winters suck though. Dark day and night…not literally like a Polar location, but we have the winter rainforest cloud cover of just one solid cloud for months and you don’t see the sun, and it rains everyday. Although climate change has meant that seems to be changing.
