I'm mostly planning on working, because I need to afford rent and groceries.

If I'm lucky, I might try to get some time off and do a small bicycle tour in PEI.

I'll echo someone else's suggestion of trying out James Hoffman's French press method. I get pretty clean cups while still retaining that oily goodness.

Cigaro - System of a Down

Mezmerize was one of the first albums I ever owned around age 9. I knew almost every song by heart and would constantly sing along to them in the car. I have a vivid memory of singing this song in particular in the parking lot of the local mall when my dad finally decided to tell me what "cock" meant.

It's the risk of knocking it over and making a huge fucking mess, it's thrilling.

Then they did some consultations with the public and said that not enough people wanted it.

Worse than that, Trudeau straight up said "People wanted electoral reform because they were unsatisfied under the Harper government, now that we're in power everything is fine and people don't care about electoral reform anymore."

Source article in Le Devoir (French), I'll quote the relevant part here:

« Sous M. [Stephen] Harper, il y avait tellement de gens mécontents du gouvernement et de son approche que les gens disaient “ça prend une réforme électorale pour ne plus avoir de gouvernement qu’on n’aime pas”. Or, sous le système actuel, ils ont maintenant un gouvernement avec lequel ils sont plus satisfaits. Et la motivation de vouloir changer le système électoral est moins percutante [ou moins criante] »

If your VPN has Canadian servers, CBC always has a very good website for watching the Olympics and IIRC you only need a Canadian IP address to access it.

I bought the fancier model that can connect to the sink for hot water and never bothered setting it up, you get used to the cold water fast enough.

I honestly like it, a blast of cold water up the ass perks me up better than coffee in the mornings.

Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube were two big ones

Care to share why you stopped watching their channels? Because without context, the only potential reason that comes to mind is that they're both trans women...

Birth control seems like a slightly less pressing issue than an ongoing genocide. You're coming off as extremely callous here.

Another issue is how much easier it is to up your nicotine content. When my little brother started vaping, he went up to the equivalent of a pack of smoke's worth of nicotine per day within a couple of months.

Whereas I, who got addicted to nicotine the old fashioned way, took a couple years before I was smoking a pack a day, because otherwise I would have been coughing my lungs out.

I blame Nabisco.

Fat-shaming is definitely an issue across the political spectrum, unfortunately.

Vapes are as tightly controlled as cigarettes (at least here in Canada).

The issue is that cigarettes aren't as tightly regulated as you'd think. Pretty much every town has that one spot where local teens know they won't get carded for nicotine products.

Calling him a "cocksucker" is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.

Because a lot of Canadians are racist, also people have somehow been convinced that the housing crisis and the lousy job market are the fault of foreign students and immigrants rather than the fault of landlords and other disgustingly rich people.

People in this comment section being shining examples of why some fat people would feel uncomfortable at the beach.

On another note fuck Trudeau for running again, essentially guaranteeing that Canada will have a fucking Con gov't

I definitely don't disagree with you here, but on the other hand, I don't imagine the Liberals pushing a candidate that wouldn't just bring them even further right of centre...

There's just under 3 million francophones in Canada outside Québec, and only around 47% of people in Québec are French-English bilingual (which is still the highest rate of any province, to be fair).

There are francophone communities all across the country, from BC to PEI, from Yukon to southern Ontario. There's also a substantial percentage of people in Québec who are unilingual francophones.
