Buncha Scrooges over there in Kingsville Apparently. Those massive restrictions on hours plus the requirement for a "permit" -cough-moneygrab-cough- are just ridiculous. I'd love for there to be a light show like that in my neighborhood.

My current rent: $1600 (no utilities included).
Tenant insurance: $300 (per year!).
Tenant total: $1625 per month.

Mortgage calculation: $1863 per month for a $300,000 mortgage with a 10% down payment.
Property tax: ~$300 per month.
House insurance: ~$150 per month.
Mortgage total: $2313 per month.

And that is not even including the costs of repairs on the house. In my city a $300,000 house will be in need of some major repairs.

I'd say I'm doing pretty good. I am saving that extra $700 per month myself and am in a lot better of a position than if I was paying that mortgage.

Wow... Our system is even more broken than I thought.

That's crazy. Your Ontario health card is supposed to cover you for that 90 day span until you get the new Quebec card. Does Quebec not honor that system? (I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have to since they seem to get special snowflake treatment around everything else)

Article blaming government involvement in project cost overruns and clearly intentionally ignores that private business projects overrun too, we just don't see it because it's private business. Biased. Blech.

Thanks, that's good to know! It may have been around the 2.8 timeframe. But it definitely sounds like it's gotten better. I'll definitely be trying again.

I use it on Windows. Admittedly it launches better in Linux but it takes an age to launch in Windows. But yes, that was some time ago. Version 2.04 or something like that.

My question is: does it launch faster? I love GIMP for how powerful it is while still being free, but I hate how long it took to load. I was using less powerful alternatives on a regular basis just because I didn't want to wait for GIMP to open.

• Cries in Saskatchewan. -

The Sask Party have somehow maintained control out here for 17 years... It's sad but I don't foresee it changing. Us and Alberta are the home of the "F Trudeau" crowd.

I will yet again cast my ballot against them in an effort that feels about as meaningful as pissing into the wind. But I'll still do it.

Oh look, another cop being "punished" with a paid vacation.

Oh interesting, it's basically tapestry crochet but with half-doubles instead of singles. No wonder the blocking opened up the stitches so much! Thank you for sharing!

It's beautiful! What technique did you use for the color work? I don't recognize it. I've done a lot of Mosaic crochet but this doesn't look like mosaic to me.
