Makes sense if you run it once per year and use the results to determine the admissions list. This assumes your goal is to maximize the number of doctors trained each year given a limited number of slots available. If you can take it whenever you want and it is just another hurdle to get into med school, then I’m not sure what value your score relative to your cohort is. Maybe it assumes all classes should have equally capable applicants, and since the content of a test would necessarily change to prevent cheating, they can’t guarantee that all tests will be of equal difficulty. So to even that out, they just take the top performers from each cohort.

Hey now! I believe the preferred term is reality challenged.

I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.

Every populist comes into power talking about how they are going to end the government gravy train, and every one of them discovers two things: first, you aren’t going to find the minimal levels of waste from the thousand foot view at the top, and two, there is no waste when the money is spent and taxed in the country. If we want to fund new initiatives, we need more taxes on those who can afford it. Our highest personal tax rate was at a low of 70% until 1982, and was an anemic 28% by 1988. Want to make Canada great again? Time to take a page from tax history.

Yeah, unfortunately we’re investing tens of billions into EV manufacturing. Another major investment from Siemens was announced just this morning. If we drop those very justified tariffs, we won’t have an EV industry in Canada anymore. As long as the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing BYD research and production, tariffs are appropriate to balance the playing field. Otherwise our nacent industry will get smothered in the crib.

Or they know the state of the current airframes, and know we’ve already waffled on this to the point that any further changes are going to cause a delay that would result in a loss in operational capability, potentially for years. As much as I’d like to see us drop the F-35 on general principal, there is no magical fighter jet dealership where we can go pick something else up in any reasonable timeframe. We could accept the first batch and try cancelling the rest, to be replaced at some future date with something else, but for a small airforce like the RCAF, that presents operational challenges as well. I’d say renegotiate the deal. Get more jobs and a skilled workforce out of it. Lockheed is already offering, given the global drop in demand for their products. But for future purchases, we’re either going to have to make our own or buy European.

I can see the difference in my pantry versus what is on the grocery store shelves today. Tins that used to proudly state Product of USA Imported by some company in Mississauga ON, now only mentions the importer and hides the country of origin. Evidently many American companies are ashamed to be associated with their own country.

Did you add in the cost of financing that 24K and tax over 5 years, plus the cost when they inevitably then flip the outstanding balance onto their line of credit because they can’t afford the payments to pay out the full amount over a 5 year term? Yeah, it probably won’t ever be cheaper for the average Canadians I know.

Do you need a receipt? I usually pick up my incandescent light bulbs in the weird sizes (appliance bulbs, etc) at Dollarama, but I don’t bother to keep receipts for small disposable items.

Edit: looks like this was answered below and the answer is no proof of purchase is required. Thank you!

Happened at a DC I worked at, but a little before my time. Someone thought it would be a bright idea to use the design of some 1970s Californian architectural prodigy in Canada. When winter hit, the humid air condensed on the inside of the uninsulated metal roof and it rained in the attic, eventually leaking out across the entire computer room ceiling. They had pictures that showed 6mm poly stretched out and taped above all the mainframes and DASD while water rained down from above, running off the sides of the plastic sheeting and pooling on the raised floor. They also used to throw wild alcohol-fueled Christmas parties, and climbed up on top of the racks so they could play games jumping from row to row. What a time to be employed!

Buy Mortimer, buy!

There are plenty of those places around me, and they advertise agressively everywhere. But there are also the metal scrapyards that will pay YOU for your e-waste. That’s where most of these recycling places take the stuff you paid them to dispose of. If you want the service of having it picked up, I’d say fill your boots, but I will just go the scrapyard with a binful once in a while when I plan to be in the area.

Finally, someone who can wear the Reeboks with the straps and the boots with the fur!

They better get sued by the original owners in turn. And then those owners will sue the government so we can pay again. The circle of jerk.

I was a little disappointed when Delissio left Canada, since it was decent for frozen pizza, but now that it’s gone, I see stores carrying Red Baron, which is much better! I doubt there is room for such drastic improvement in tissues, but maybe this will introduce a better new competitor as well.

Only if the place you are renting was built before 2018.

I thought it was putting grandma on speed dial

Use your turn signal to indicate your direction change and it won’t do that.

37? In a row?
