Not that it's a competition, but we have 1.2 million hectares burned in British Columbia this year, vs. the 180 thousand for all of EU. I just found the scale remarkable. We just have so much less dense population in BC that the number of people affected in the EU is drastically different. Stay safe everyone.

This happened to my friends. They bought tickets, the flight got cancelled, they never got informed, they continued to get regular flight reminders, including a week before the "flight" and a reminder the night before to check in. They chose not to check in online, went to the airport, and were told at the check in desk that the flight didn't exist. Not just the flight, the route. The route they were flying no longer existed, and they still got notifications. Ridiculous.
Oh, and the kicker... they got emails afterwards asking them to rate the flight!
Agreed, but also eye-witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate.
PP trying to frame income/property-value disparity as a purely Canadian problem that has only happened under Trudeau is just pure fallacy. It's happening in countries all over the world and it has been growing under every government in Canada for decades.
Usenet requires paying for a service though, right?
Canada in general made me happier. Not necessarily the companies specifically. As much as we can complain about our health care issue here in Canada, the social safety net here is significantly better. And I had "good" insurance coverage in the states. It was a constant fear of getting sick or injured and ending up in the wrong hospital and not getting covered (or any number of other reasons). Add to that the social pressure to spend money on everything in the states. Everyone I knew down there was in debt up to their eyeballs, no matter how much they made. It was ridiculous.
Yes, but, money isn't everything. I once left a high paying job in the US to come back to Canada, get paid less, and be way happier.
Working for a US company and living in Canada is a good way to go, but is harder to swing if you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Plus it sounds like the people they're talking about in this scenario may have their H1-B revoked and they wouldn't have a job or a visa to stay in the US at all. Canada, even with a lower paying job seems like a good option.
I think 3 hours in I had only "played" for about 30 minutes, and to me, most of the story at that point was just trying to be as ridiculous and disturbing as it possibly could. Most of the gameplay was just avoiding falling cause dude doesn't know how to walk. I had to go do something else at that point so I quit and never ended up coming back to it.
Maybe if I hadn't gotten it free I might have given it more of a chance, but I definitely wasn't a fan.
