Decent wage, job security, an affordable roof, and access to Healthcare is all things minorities have less access to. Each of those 4 things also rely on the others to stay stable.

It should have been taught to you throughout school and community initiatives

Canada was going to have the inequality anyway. The immigration is a scapegoat for the declining quality of life but many policy decisions outside of immigration were already impacting quality of life. The housing bubble and oligarchy/monopoly of major sectors (grocceries, telecommunications etc) are the main issues driving inequality in Canada.

Canada could support its ambitious immigration goals if it were willing to invest in the country to support them, such as extensive public transit overhauls and nationalizing essential services like rail, communications, and energy.

That sounds great. Unfortunately i doubt I could manage that lifestyle. I live alone and work 50-60 hours a week on a fluctuating schedule so it is very difficult for me to meal plan most days. I often get just 1 day off a week. On top of that i have a fast metabolism and work a physically demanding trade job. I find I can’t eat too heavy for breakfast or lunch otherwise i end up sluggish.

Due to my fast metabolism and physical job, I am underweight for my height despite above average calorie intake. I tend to do as you did and eat a larger meal in the evening, I’ll often actually eat 2 servings about 1 hour apart. However i find that the digestion doesn’t keep me up too much, at least compared to the nausea and cramping i experience with an empty stomach. There have been many long days where i try to go to bed skipping dinner and inevitably end up cooking at like 11pm to shut my stomach up and end the nausea.

On top of that, i live in a cold climate and find digesting food overnight can help keep me warm. I keep my place pretty chilly to save energy, both for financial and environmental reasons. Digesting overnight is especially useful if I’m camping in the shoulder seasons or winter.

I find the best strategy for me has been to wear myself out enough both mentally and physically to get a good sleep. On days where i am worn out and actually go to bed when i feel tired 10 minutes is roughly what it would take for me to sleep. My long hours are probably the biggest factor in my sleep issues, somewhat counter intuitively, because I need to “unpack” my day mentally after getting home, which may not be until 9 some days. It also doesn’t leave a ton of extra room to wear myself out if I haven’t yet. My body will basically vibrate and legs will bounce and shake if i need more physical wearing out.

I may try your strategy if i think i can work with enough food before the evening but i doubt I’ll be able to consume enough calories and still be able to work effeciently. I’d say about half the calories i eat are in the evening and thats with a breakfast and lunch that satiate me but don’t leave me sluggish. I also work on the road so bathrooms aren’t often available. Larger meals in the morning could shift my movements, which tend to happen in morning or early evening, to mid day, which could be problematic.

And won’t get another shot until 3 am, even if I’m already days behind on sleep.

I have no problem going to bed, its falling asleep thats hard. If i get a case of the yawns or feel a touch tired, i have maybe a 30 minute window to take advantage of that.

“Not ready to commit to our full package yet? For a monthly fee we won’t delete all that data we illegally collected while you decide if you want your loved one to be forgotten forever or not.”

Zero tolerance never made any sense to me. When I got bullied and beat up, I’d still get punished, so it basically encouraged me to be violent back since the punishments were the same. It also kinda went directly against all the anti bullying stuff the schools would be pushing for.

Not just that. They’ll offer services where you can text and talk with them and they will mimic the deceased vocabulary, voice, and tone. All for a very reasonable, and predatory, subscription fee structure.

I can vouch that a shower beer often brings my energy back post shower.

My schedule changes frequently. On days i start at a normal time i tend to get things done in the mornings. Days i start early i get stuff done after work. I find the best trick for getting stuff done after work is to start right away. Even sitting for just 5 minutes can be detrimental to my motivation.

Part of what helps motivate me is in my area electricity is cheapest between 7pm and 7am. So i try to do things like laundry early in the morning and i try not to use my computer much until after 7pm. Even my wifi is often off during daytime hours (i live alone and work away from home). I know the savings are minor, but i find that extra financial incentive is all i need sometimes to wash the dishes at 6:30 pm and relax afterwards.

There is also something to be said for emission controls. A coal or NG power plant can have much more cleaning and scrubbing processes. It also shifts the emissions that do slip through to a less densely populated area or at least emits it higher in the atmosphere instead of at street level.

They mean pleasant and safe in their neighborhood. They dont want to have to drive 1 hour out of the city to be able to walk without constant traffic noise or the risk of being injured by a car. A 6 lane stroad is absolutely unpleasant to walk on. Its loud, the air is polluted with emissions, tire dust, and brake dust. It dangerous as there is no meaningful barrier between you and cars, a distracted or drunk driver can easily harm a pedestrian on the sidewalk.

I specifically took a longer route that involved walking up and over a hill to get grocceries because it avoided the busier and congested roads. Walking uphill both ways was more pleasant than the direct, flatter route on a 6 lane road.

We currently pay to maintain car infrastructure regardless if we own a car or not. Per mile traveled, transit is far cheaper to maintain than roads are.

Frequent tranist. Missing a tram is no big deal if another is coming in 5 minutes. It needs to be a tram with priority tracks and signals so it stays on schedule.

Missing a tram and losing 5 minutes is the same as hitting a couple extra red lights or being delayed due to construction or a collision. Planning to arrive a few minutes early fixes any issues you would have from possible delays.

You’d have a hard time driving through that snow as well, so there are snow plows and such that make the road drive able. Most places that accomdate winter cycling have dedicated snow equipment for the dedicated cycle lanes.

These systems would probably work a lot better in Canada if Canada built half decent transit. Many of those trips could likely be replaced with decent transit, freeing up cars for trips more specific to that use case.

Sorry, you drill and process your own oil for your own fuel supply?

Edit: i see in other comments you have an electric car and generate electricity. That is an energy supply not a fuel supply. And what about your bulldozer? Did you buy a modern electric one or does it rely on fuel? Certainly your diesel generator relies on fuel.

Funding renewables while encouraging people that the electric hummer is a “green choice” is more what i was getting at.
