So rural Ontario is the same as rural everywhere else in Canada. Cool.

No slashing is going on. The programs have built-in expiry dates, some this year, some next year, and one doesn't even have an expiry. The programs can be extended or not, but no one has said what will happen either way. This is said in the article; it is a sensationalist headline and article.

Not just youtubers, that's how my little brother and all his friends still "smile" in every picture they're in. They're all millennials, so I think millenials invented it, especially since they were the ones who blew up on YouTube to begin with. Now they're passing it on the the Zoomers and beyond!

The government does not have to actively axe most of these programs. With the exception of PHAC, they are all slated to expire this year or next.

Carney’s team can simply let them all lapse, despite the continuing and acute health needs throughout the country. And as far as we can tell, letting them quietly expire seems to be the Carney team’s current plan.

Federal programs with existing expiry dates is not the same as slashing, and the source is vibes, wtf. So someone bring this up in QP and so they can't "let them quietly expire", but there is no slashing going on.

I do that too, but also if you enable tracking votes (I'm using Voyager) then you basically are tasking positive and negative encounters and you get an idea what a thread will be like just by looking. Example, you and OP appear to be nice peeps:

Canadian comparison: $6.79 USD/gal(us) is $2.49 CAD/L, currently.

Gas around here in Edmonton, Alberta is between $1.45 CAD/L and $1.72 CAD/L depending how hard you look.

That would be between $3.95/gal(us) and $4.68/gal(us)

Oh, that's a superb owl. Honk! Cool photograph.

I'm happy to report that the sweet goosies are returning from their wintering down South; I saw my first one today in downtown Edmonton!
