I will watch the Oscars this year. True I have not seen a really good movie in a while. I still have not seen some that have been nominated this year i.e. Barbie but love Billie Eilish

I heard the radio playing both sides now - Joni Mitchell - hmmm it sounded even better on the radio, she is good.

Sports fan over here. Watched the entire game. We the Swifties LOL, we won. The half time, there must have been better ones. All I can say about that.

Thanks August... Isn't CPP a safety net? and for some population it works. The bad math figures - a fellow contracted cancer at 58 and told by the doctor maybe it is curable or not. So he decides to collect CPP say the arbitrary number $250.00 per month. Or he also dies and not collect. Well, he can also wait to 67 years old and collect $1500.

Did you watch the Grammys? For the longest while I had lost interest in these award shows. But, last night I actually watch the thing, some pieces "nah" but overall I quite enjoyed it.

Since you work, the government sends a letter and informs you the amounts you can receive at age 59, or 60 or 65. Up you weight your choices.

My neighbor in her thirties lost her spouse three weeks ago to COVID. However she and her kid are not doing well. Maybe there is some explanation for those that remain behind.

I agree that people have many choices in life. However good choices lead to good health, well-being, happiness etc - a reason to live. Not so good choices well lead to paths which "fully support the right of anyone else to not do so, and I fully support giving them the means to not do so if they want ". What if I mentioned that people who have wishes to die are linked to many factors/symptoms and likely if people knew how to get out of their despair/pain/impulsiveness they really do not want to die - nearly all of the people. Weighing the pros and cons - it is better to be alive than not. I would point out to those reading here, to reach out to friends and trusted folks should you have some of these questions about life, and that there are always better life choices, things usually turn the corner.

I stopped by today and saw this the topic is still alive (pardon the pun) I have calculated that you should remain alive until your natural death (good/alive vs dead). And even if you have the worst illnesses in the world you are still better off alive than dead.

Health for kids - if you don't know ask the Google doctor, or the good doctor can outline healthy choices. How about eating anything in sight but try some exercise. That is healthy.

"Census Profile, 2016 Census". Statistics Canada. 72.9% over Canadian pop is European/White vs 22.3 Visible Minority. The statistics show some groups are systematically and systemically not treated fairly under various "conditions/test". The protest is to change "ideas Canada has nothing to make up for, at least not for visible minority members".

They lost. The other team was superior. Everyone can develop abilities, we can have less money for great talent. They need to practice and work together. They are good. Just not yesterday.

there were many wars before, but the US continue to go to war - maybe many people are employed during wars, a lot of technology also get sold etc. people become employed with the rebuilding some folks submitted blueprint for 3D printing as a solution I don't follow if there is a disdain to "build" operative word

I always have hope - so I go to see the Leaf game first, but BIG Bruins fan

well neither family nor I got money or this sort of coins - but individuals can grow a immensely BIG head when they receive compliments, with friends socializing, experience and over-come obstacles, and when they rise each day and experience life - store all of this information in the big head, albeit small use according to the Einstein guy

you list some of the reasons for it to stay - it transcends literature, history, culture, religion, art, identity etc. across culture in multi-national ways

It is healthy to disagree. Business electives might add value to common sense, and explain choices for rational decision making.

It's political correctness. Everyone is sensitive.

Maybe take some business electives to help with your decision. It is feasible to run a tech business from Northern Ontario - you have to start building relations. Good luck.

People grow up and form and interpret their own reasons for living. It is serious stuff if they think otherwise.

First I would like to distinguish that gender equity in regards to pay is meant to bring wages together (male and female) for same work perform, then the tax and other deduction follows - equal treatment. The argument is expanded. Since there is a discrepancy in the wages, women making less, overall then, women will work longer in order to match the amounts of taxes men pay. Therefore they need to live longer to make equal tax and equal pension. The wage discrepancy also explain that a pension contribution of 7% from women and employer is different from 7% from men and employer for the same job. WHO 2015 data shows in Canada life expectance Male 80.2, female 84.1. We can say then that the tax system helps to determine when we can die. This is just a view based on the conversation.

A good haul of medals for Canadians. I watched the games and waved my flag. I love the newer sports with the young people - in the spirit of the games, they are just happy to be their best, win or lose. Next time we do better in hockey.

yes, you are right, we are the ones waving a flag and singing at home - I have the lyrics correct. Let the medal count roll = 7 Day 3

Canada Day 2 3 silver, 1 bronze = 4 Go Canada!!
