I played it during testing and for a few hours since it came out to early access. It’s great compared to the mediocre unfinished crap most AAA studios are putting out. The servers run smoothly, VOIP is great, there’s a server browser, good gunplay. Obviously the graphics aren’t the selling point, but the gameplay is fun and everything just works.

A great day for Canada, and therefore the world

It’s a bit of a shame. Flying with Swoop was a gamble but most of my flights worked out and it was usually amazingly cheap. I was hoping there was going to be a boom of discount airlines in Canada but it’s going the opposite way now.

Our supply management is also bad, but at least the cost is born by people who use dairy products. I would argue that the US dairy subsidies are worse as everyone is paying for it whether they like it or not.

We train too few doctors and nurses, and the pay in the most needed positions is too low. There are plenty of bandaid solutions around but unless these underlying issues get solved nothing will change.

There aren’t that many Wallmarts relative to grocery stores and they also aren’t usually in the same areas that people do grocery shopping, so I don’t think they are a significant competition.

The MCC is money-grubbing, rent-seeking, parasite of an organization. Even having trained in Canada and having had an easier time going through all the hoops the IMGs, I have nothing but disdain for them.

Ontario and other provinces have recently allowed US licenced physicians to practice in Canada and this should be extended to other Western countries with similar training and practice, especially for desperately needed roles like family physicians.

I honestly distrust most accounts with a blue tick. Most people worth following would never pay that fee to Musk.
