It is indeed his strata, and he owns it with class.

We are already dealing with Zombie Fires in western Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/climate/wildfires-zombie-fires-canada-bc-alberta-1.7119851

The Catholic church expressed clear support for Hitler's Nazi party. It's almost like shitbirds of a feather flock together to oppress minorities.

When discussing demographics, fertility simply means the number of children born (TFR- total fertility rate).

It can also be difficult to take a photo of a moving cat. Some cats don't stay still long enough to get a decent shot.

My local Costco doesn't require a membership to buy from the cafeteria. You order from a computer and pay.

When I worked in retail, anecdotally, it was my understanding that most theft was internal. At Real Canadian Superstore (think Walmart Supercenter, but not Walmart) I saw lots of my coworkers steal all kinds of things. We went through one loss prevention after another, fired for, you guessed it, stealing (ironic, I know). Most of my co workers stole their food for their meal breaks. I very rarely saw or heard of a customer being caught stealing. And no, no one reported others to management.

Depending on the great lake it came from, you'll probably get heavy metal poisoning. Goldfish are edible and supposedly not bad- they are eaten in many countries including Japan.

Expats who stop paying their medical services plan (or whatever it's called in other provinces) are not covered, hence the ER bill. People who intended to live abroad for a long time often cancel them.

Unfortunately they won't be able to read it because it was published before 2008.

The title of this article is disingenuous, and the article itself fails to note that K-8 have already been using the proficiency scale report cards for years. Grades 10-12 continue to have letter grades, and that will likely continue for a while longer. That being said, the numeracy and literacy exams grade on the same proficiency scale, it just converts it to a number (1-4 scale). It's not impossible to apply this system to high school grades, but it will take some getting used to by teachers, students and parents.

Most middle school kids don't really care about report cards or grades as they know to that they will just be pushed along with everyone else (this is a separate issue from report card formats). The proficiency based report cards will not change this practice. Another note of importance is that official academic transcripts start in grade 10, so everything before it doesn't really matter, from an academic record point of view.

Considering the anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-conversion 'therapy' stance this organization has, they will not be missed if they disappear. There are less discriminatory organizations that people can support.

In a cruel twist of irony, it marks the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Park fire. Most Kelowna residents would have experienced that and are probably retraumatized.

That's all they get paid? No wonder they can't retain them.

Most youth vape now though. It's not likely that this new cigarette labelling is going to get through to the target demographic.
