    • Trudeau announces national school food program to feed 400,000 more kids per year

    Jump

  • Nobody should go hungry. Hopefully these kids get fed and get great education.

    And when they are older, I hope they can afford rent. Otherwise they may end up homeless, and hungry again.

    • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?

    Jump

  • Landlords. Housing as a commodity in general.

    • On April 1, Canadian MPs will earn world's second-highest salary for elected officials

    Jump

  • I'm confused. Didn't we ban handgun imports in Canada? Is this saying criminals don't care if they are breaking the law? Strange that punishing every legal gun owner doesn't stop illegal gun activity...

    • Moscow concert hall attack: Russia detains 11 as death toll rises to 133

    • The kids are not OK. New data shows Canadians under-30 ‘very unhappy’

    Jump

  • Bad news, it's people over 30 too. Kinda obvious when you aren't able to hit milestones and afford the life society "promised" you. One day you ask yourself "what's the point?"

    • Which songs from the last decade (2014-2024) will become classics?

    Jump

  • If I put my old man hat on, I'd say none. I think the idea of "classics" is dead. I also think most modern mainstream music is terrible. But hey what do I know.

    • Gender pay gap double in private vs public sector, report says. Why?

    Jump

  • How about blondes vs redheads? Blondes are over represented.

    • How can i learn hindi in under a month ?

    Jump

  • If Duolingo is too fast paced, then you aren't going to learn any quicker using a different method. The fastest way to learn any language is full immersion with lessons. It's extremely difficult. Maybe go online and find a tutor/teacher in your area or virtually. Oh and it's "ciao".

    • Ottawa proposes delaying MAID expansion for patients with mental illness until 2027

    Jump

  • How many mental illnesses are linked to the cost of living? It causes me daily depression. There is a dark part of my mind that wonders if we'd rather just have people die than make life more affordable.
