I’m a Canadian librarian. Inbox me your favourite books!
That depends on the local labour laws and your collective agreement. In some places the employer has the right to do this and you can be fired if you don’t show up for your shift.
Your intelligence and work ethic are only part of your grades. Kids who don’t have to work and whose parents can afford private tutors are at a huge advantage.
The Guardian's article says "The Amsterdam police chief, Peter Holla, said there had been “incidents on both sides”. A video on social media showed Maccabi fans setting off flares and chanting, “Olé, olé, let the IDF win, we will fuck the Arabs.” The police chief said a large crowd of Maccabi fans then gathered on Dam Square on Thursday lunchtime, where there were “fights on both sides”."
Horses are dumb. If buddy decides to jump out he’s going to be seriously injured
According to Wikipedia, he survived by committing around 1,000 burglaries against houses in the area, at a rate of roughly 40 per year, to be able to survive during the harsh winters of Maine.
Does insurance still cover you if you’re this much of an idiot (assuming no medical cause)? The article linked by someone below said that to get to the point of ignoring workers in high-vis clothing waving at her, she had already driven through several signs.
“A worker was in the hole at the time but was uninjured”That must have been quite the shock!
Ian McKellan is gay and seems to have come out stronger…
As a Canadian, can someone explain the push to register in advance? We can just show up with ID and proof of address if we’re not on the list. Do you get turned away from the polling station?
My grandmother grew up near Utrecht (Woorden). She told beautiful stories of playing outdoors in weather like this, especially the winter the schools were closed due to the war. She made it sound magical (even the part during the war. I think 8 was the right age to be in 1944).
Does urban Ottawa count as rural? Because that’s totally accurate here
People assuming the options are limited to abandoning your child or going to them immediately every time they cry ARE the problem here. There are lots of shades of gray, not everyone means the same whiting when they say Cry it Out and can we please stop demonizing parents’ choices based on minimal information? Isn’t that the whole point of this comic?
Ontario?
Really near, but I’m concerned by the lack of grip on the sole of the hoof
It can trigger psychosis in people who might not otherwise have had it. Definitely not a huge risk, but a huge consequence.
To be clear, I knew these people’s situation quite well and was always shaking my head about their choices. One would go out heavy drinking all summer while she had a good paying job, buying really expensive drinks, and then use the university food bank in the winter because she was broke. She did that multiple summers in a row. I assume that the overwhelming majority of people using food bans do not act the same way; my point is simply that for a few people, budgeting really could help.
It depends on the person. A big data plan (if you have wifi at home and work). Going out for expensive drinks frequently. Taking Ubers when you are healthy and just don’t want to wait for the bus (in a city with a good bus system). Those are just a few examples I saw in my student days of perpetually “broke” friends who didn’t need to be if they made better choices.
*that average is taken from my personal experience as a public librarian in Canada
While the publishers are totally price gouging, physical books essentially also have a limited time license. Due to the poor quality of modern printing processes, the average hardcover can only circulate ~20 times before it falls apart. Old books are far more durable b
The week is to allow lots of scheduling opportunities for the half hour hour dog break
A dog is a domesticated animal and many of us are still cautious around strays, even though humans extensive experience with the species have made us attuned to their body language.
I really hate when this is presented as a dichotomy! Being polite but firm is also an option and the world would be a better place if both the too-nice-but-actually-resentful and the Assholes could tend more in this direction

I also do this. I wouldn’t for big expensive things, but that hasn’t been what I’ve sold or given away up to this point
Maybe the kid is glad not to be the target this time 😕
Every time I think he’s hit bottom he goes one lower. That’s disgusting.
You framed your comment as information that would counter rage bait (information written in a misleading way with the intent to provoke outrage). But your details just confirm that the post was accurate and is indeed terrible. So details mater, but your framing is off.
Why, CBC, put a banner blocking the action??
