This is certainly an issue across Canada, not just this one region.

"On average, people trying to access addictions supportive housing can wait up to 804 days to get a unit, while the wait list for mental health supportive housing is even longer. An average of 1,211 days, according to CMHA. "

Don't be mentally ill in Canada, the supports people needed are simply not there.

Another protest blocking a major intersection, probably the same group as previously, they block the port a few times a year it seems these days, probably pipeline but man it can cause problems in this area.

Dog is sad when my wife isn't home, seems so down and sleeps all day.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Give it some treats, take it for a nice walk, turn up the heat and then put on one of those BBC wildlife specials about how domestic cats are really wild animals.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

We went on a few walks in between the rain, as soon as we got home, right back under the blanket and slept....lol

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Nice! :thumbup: I still miss my dog sometimes.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

She is very attached to my wife, so when my wife isn't home she gets mopey.

Charlee hates the rain and refuses to walk when its raining, so have to take advantage when the rain stops a bit on rainy days, can't blame her she is so low to the ground her belly and chest get soaked, plus the breed like warm and dry, rain isn't their thing.

Article explains things fairly well about the disability tax credit, it becomes annoying at times when people assume oh someone is disabled so they get the tax credit and can have an RDSP and other benefits, but fact is most disabled do not qualify for the DTC and its benefits. Being disabled is not in itself sufficient for CRA.

My wife received it until 2015 when they made her re-apply for it and she was denied, she tried again in 2018 and was again denied. She had it from around 2003 to 2015, maybe it was 2004, somewhere in there is when it started.

Have you noticed how the light is changing...suddenly it’s light until practically 6 pm :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: at -19 this morning when the car refused to start...it didn’t feel like it...but the world does turn and Spring will be coming! Yeah!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I love it. We are up to 5:21pm for our sunset, and its nice to not be dark before 4pm, another month or so it will be even better. By end of the month we will be up to 5:55pm for sunset woo hoo.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yes. It's like the clocks just changed.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I doubt it belongs to the UK after Gordon Brown sold.. sorry gave away.. 401 tonnes (56%) of the UK's gold reserves in 1999.
Price when sold was US$282.40/oz, price now is US$1568/oz or an increase of some 550%.
I know 20 years have passed but it was a bad deal then and it still is. Strange that the man who rose to the challenge in 2008 was taken to the cleaners only a few years previously, we are left asking why.
It's interesting to note that an FTSE100 high was set on December 30 1999 at 6,950 and today's close was 7446, so gold would have been a better comparable investment, ignoring dividends etc. that is.

Right now the earth's gravitational pull is strong enough to make a broom stand on it's own when the brush is aligned on a N-S axis.

Don't you start. My Daughter rushed downstairs last night at 9pm asking where we keep the broom. When I asked her why she told me that NASA tweeted that it would stand up today (yesterday). I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a load of old bollocks
