Alberta is trying to get rid of public health care, Ontario isn't far behind.

๐Ÿ˜‚ thanks for clarifying. I was staring at it and all I could think of was the South Park Comcast episode.

If you can, send a reply saying thanks or something. It helps get more added at other locations.

If I had the money I'd want to try staffing it with cult deprogramming specialists. It would be an interesting experiment to track.

We've been dead set on getting something fully detached since living in an apartment style condo. There's 0 enforcement of the little bit of laws we have as soon as it's an apartment building. The city is 100% hands off for anything not detached. None of the laws on the books are focused on or designed with any kind of density in mind.

The condo boards are HOA's on steroids. The rulers of these little fiefdoms don't just fuss at your lawn and paint. They decide if/when the roof will be looked at, if they should bother to top up the emergency fund as much as suggested, etc. It's insane. As much as we prefer the low impact of high density, it's just not livable.

Family have tried finding apartment buildings (condo or rent) but have given up. All of them are studio, 1, or 2 bedrooms. Max seems to be ~900 sqft, which would be fine if they were square. Unfortunately they all seem to be very long and narrow. The 900sqft also includes balconies, storage spaces, and parking spots here. It's not great.

Every apartment style condo in this city also has serious building issues. The city just signs and doesn't inspect. The builders (major builder #451) just disappear after each build as they "go under" and the major builder they were "part of " are not considered liable since it was a subsidiary. Regulations were put in place to prevent this with detached builds but they don't cover condos.

Until regulations make them livable I doubt we'll see a serious adoption of them for a while here.

Honestly I assumed they were pushing this simply to drag out the proceedings. That would force the widower into a position where they couldn't afford to continue, ensuring they would take whatever NDA Disney offered for whatever amount.

Also some parts of historical sites. Some of the local ones have hallways that are only 5'6" max and maybe 1'6" wide if you're very lucky.

The pipeline was to connect Russia with Germany.

Just in case someone else is confused. I had to look it up.

Taking a full breath of air before chugging liquids. I accidentally exhaled before choking on some water once, body naturally tried to pull in air and got more water. Very much felt like drowning.

Searching "optometrist complaint canada" seems to get the different licensing bodies. Reaching out to them would likely get some action.

They fear becoming a minority.

clutches pearls Goodness gracious, someone might treat them like they treat minorities!

That is literally what the white "christians" have been stressing about here. As a minority mutt that "passes", maybe try being less of an asshole?
