I don't understand why we are pumping so much money into our dairy industry. Dairy is not a necessary or all that healthy part of the food supply.

Nova Scotia inks pact with Lebanese university to bring more doctors to province in c/canada

We need to be training more doctors here. There is not a shortage of people that want to be doctors, there is a shortage of med school seats.

Instead of importing cheap ones, we are going to extra subsidize expensive ones.

This is a central philosophy of RDKit. You can take it with you from lab to lab and job to job.

The Overwhelming Case for a Wealth Tax in c/canada
[–] MacroCyclo 6 points 1 month ago

I'm for a wealth tax, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense to tax gifts and inheritance than try to keep track of the largest and most complicated wealth portfolios in Canada.

What are your favourites? I have really liked:

  • How to talk to kids so kids will listen and listen so that kids will talk

I think it's appropriate for all ages

  • Adult children of emotionally immature parents

Maybe a bit more specific, but it's likely most people have at least one emotionally immature parent.

I haven't seen a thread on this in a while. I have been going with top day for a while, but it can be hit or miss. Other sorts don't seem to display as good in terms of balancing quality and quantity. What is your preferred sort for your main feed?

Edit: Realizing that the people who sort new commented before the hot/top/active people, haha

I feel like the CPC is trying to import the American constant election news cycle to Canada.

The first thing that comes to mind is a big plastic bin filled with burnt burgers for 4 for a dollar.

Edit: I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.

What financial services do you use? (self.personalfinancecanada)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by MacroCyclo to c/personalfinancecanada

I'm curious what products and services everyone uses. I like trying out new services, but it seems like the big banks are pretty effective at squashing competition.

I'll go first: Chequing - BMO Savings - Wealthsimple Investing - Questrade with Passiv Credit cards - BMO, Costco, Amazon

I have tried Brim (credit card) and Koho (kind of a chequing account), but eventually dropped them because they couldn't effectively replace BMO.

I'm interested to know everyone's experiences with their banks and other financial service providers.

Edit: This thread has been amazing! Thanks for all the replies!

This sub is entirely CBC (self.canada)

Why is this sub just CBC news stories? Does a bot add them all? They are mostly empty with no comments. Makes for a strange feed.

Edit: I think I just need to figure out which way to sort my feed. Sorting by hot gives me almost all CBC.

Edit 2: CBC is great. I am commenting on the state of c/Canada, not the quality of CBC
