there were countries in South America in the war. Brazil was one such country.

I don’t know about other South American countries.

I wouldn’t call Portugal an European power, they never had a significant population. Same for Switzerland.

Spain was completely destroyed just before world war 2 during a civil war

Most of Asia and Africa had been put under European control before world war 2, which actually was one of the reasons there was war: Germans had almost no colonies and wanted to expand

Turkey had lost world war 1 a few years back (Ottoman Empire)

Companies all over the world are having supply chain issues and you comment this lol

I think this could be linked to obesity

TCL is still the language of choice for EDA

It’s not a solved problem. It’s a nonexistent problem. You can’t solve a problem you don’t have.

I lived in Tokyo

When I lived there you would be able to get a gyudon for roughly 300-400 yens

It will get you full but it’s not very nutritive

You can eat many eastern / western fast food dishes for around that price, but if you want to go to an actual sit down restaurant it’s much more expensive

I didn’t cook in Tokyo because I was on a scholarship so I didn’t care, but friends told me it would be cheaper to cook too

Then Australia is incredible expensive

I can get the same dish in Canada for 8 AUD and can cook for less than half the money, and Canada is not a cheap country

It’s not the wrong direction…

You are not describing differences between urban & suburban

Maybe you are for America specifically but most of what you described is normal in urban areas of Japan or Germany for instance

Man I’m sorry nothing you said is impressive in most developed countries cities

No transit doesn’t need to be in the same route, there are bus terminals and metro line connections

You don’t need parking if you live in a city with nice transit

Low density means you are unlikely to live a walkable distance from a friend, so suburbia sucks for that too

Honestly the only thing you said that is true is the big yard, everything else is worse in suburbia than cities

Maybe not American cities, but most suck anyway

You are bad at managing money if you think eating out is just a bit more expansive than cooking

So basically you throw the responsibility to the user for Be My AI reading medicine label wrong

Walmart chicken is the same price as Costco and you don’t need a membership

I don’t know if the cottage thing is true or not, but even if it is, it doesn’t make difference for the customer if their goal is to save money

One reason costco is cheaper is because they charge for a membership. It’s not that cheaper. Honestly it’s not even cheaper if you compare against a regular supermarket and you are willing to buy a different brand then the one offered at Costco

I have never seen a rental saying where you can or can’t go with a vehicle

Lobby

I think it means getting people mad / to rage

Sure, I’m just saying it isn’t some sort of Canadian dream to move south

Obviously shared doesn’t count, most people don’t share a place because they want to but rather because they need to

Also, Quebec is cheaper than the rest of the country (probably because of language + anti immigration provincial agenda)

I live in a city in the praries away from civilization and pay over 1000 dollars for a 1 bedroom

There isn’t anywhere normal priced

If you live away from civilization, and I mean really isolated, like 20 hours driving to get to a nice city, you are still gonna pay roughly 1000 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment

I don’t think most Canadians want to migrate to the US. Some do, but most Canadians don’t see the US with good eyes. Especially because of the price of healthcare and the guns.

Yay, now H1B visa holders can have Canada as a back up plan in case they get laid off and can’t find a job in the US

Wage suppression + housing bubble, here we go!

People definitely get sick from weather change

I am from South America and moved to Canada and find Canadians are most of the time either inside their cars or indoors, both places they can control the temperature

Heaters are not common at all in South America, nor are thermostats. Air conditioners are somewhat but I wouldn’t say a majority of the population has them. And a smaller percentage of the populations owns a vehicle because it’s expensive for them.

I work in what used to be an EDA startup

Now it was acquired by a big one though

Not really hardware but almost

my work visa got approved very fast

I think they (whoever applied on your behalf) did something wrong with your application

I did mine myself and my company had someone at IRCC to confirm everything was correct, then I submitted, it took if much 2 months for my approval

Lol

Price has also been going up in the cities you called “relatively affordable”

I live in the middle of nowhere and when renewing my annual lease my rent went 10% up

It is expensive for most people who live here

And Calgary prices have shooted up due to people leaving BC and ON. Not as expensive as BC or ON but nevertheless local people are feeling the changes.

That’s not how Canadian PR works

It’s a point system, you need to get the points

The work permit has no relationship to the PR

Canadian work experience gives you points though

That’s not it. You can apply for a open work permit.

Laid off canadian work permit holders don’t have access to open work permit in canada

Meanwhile, laid off US work permit holders do if they move to canada

Wtf? This is so fucking stupid

Not only this, but Canada is already having issues with their own laid off people and their own housing bubble

Agreed just adding, deflation is not bad if it is small (<< 1%)
