My long-form lament on how we’re still clinging to old ways of doing things, hoping they’ll protect us from the chaos they helped create. But that world is long gone - and pretending otherwise won’t bring stability back. Only better change will fix changes you don’t like.

@annafoat @ManyBeenRinsed @fordnation I know some testing through walk-ins is restricted partly because there's less continuity of care, and some use this to doctor-shop for tests they want. Not saying that's your case at all - I just know that's part of why those restrictions exist, to limit unnecessary testing.

I just paid almost $600 in bloodwork in Ontario of the Canada. What the fuck is going on? @fordnation going on a 5 month vacation while citizens get fucked up. Canada isn’t a real place. 🇨🇦

@tuesday7595 @Smileyyeg We spend roughly $17.5B annually on seniors with household incomes above $100,000, often delivering benefits exceeding $18,000 per year. Eliminating this would have a bigger budget impact while taking nothing from anyone who actually needs it.

@Smileyyeg Wrong. Canada has a new immigrant benefit program expensive problem. Not to mention the amount of fraud in it.

@Smileyyeg It’s egregious to the point of monstrous. Cutting off OAS to entitled elderly subsidy goblins who do not need it would mean seniors who do need help could get more while we save billions. They don't care. They want it. Suggest paring it back even slightly and the goblins rage.

@merry123459 I love how she worked her natural grey in with all the intricate, bright accents. Reminds me of a friend who went totally grey in high school, dyed it black, but left these cool little strips to work with it, not hide it. People look best when they look like their own person.

I see things like this, and the water infrastructure debacle we saw in Calgary last year, and my mind goes to just how much boomers lived off the investments their parents made - all of it now likely about to break for the next generation to inherit. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

@danielfoch @amanobviously Calling attention to our national shame is not the way to encourage us to build better things. We must look to the future, not get stuck dwelling on our terrible past mistakes.

@vikonomics101 @Aella_Girl There are humans who don't really grasp that distinction even in themselves (likely some of the same ones making and/or being overly enthralled by AI).

@Aella_Girl Deep use reveals genuine capability, not genuine intelligence. There’s a difference between acing the test and understanding why you’re taking it.

AI is clearly very intelligent. I don't understand how someone can work with the models in any sort of depth and think it's 'simply autocomplete.'

@JodiesJumpsuit My cousin who’s a firefighter once told me the ladders only go to around the 7th floor, and this information has kept me relatively “grounded” ever since.

@ManyBeenRinsed Are these people who will live in the townhomes buying them, or realtors latently frothed for the good old days, though?

‘Insane demand’ for town homes in Caledon starting from the mid $600’s. Double car garage and modern open concept for families. Line-ups yesterday for these pre-construction designs. Market is healing slowly … Few.

@lucijapen I’ve also noticed more broadly that the price gap between what used to be considered a bit higher-end & what used to be average seems to be narrowing (not just for food). Probably more of a mass production amidst changing demographics & a shrinking mid-tier problem in general.

@MustardClem Agree. I think it speaks to what’s happening at the grocery store and societal level… but also my steak prices have been the same the past 3 years and 3 years ago they were pretty consistent with conventional stores. I just don’t think this a cost-of-beef problem

@lucijapen It’s still pretty notable to go from buying direct from farms/meat shares being mostly for the especially persnickety (not judging - this was me) to more people doing it because just casually buying meat is now a bit of a luxury. Not exactly a great societal trajectory, is all.

Not sponsored nor endorsing - but I’ve been subscribed to a meat share for a few years (local, organic)… and beef prices have remained pretty static. If meat is getting expensive go direct to source. Save some pennies or dollars.

@cselley A lot of people from the outer suburbs seem to use “downtown” to mean basically anywhere in Toronto, including parts of the inner suburbs - I’ve heard people headed to Exhibition Place, the waterfront, or even just Etobicoke describe themselves as going “downtown”.

@BasedHypnotist The problem is seeing this too simplistically as entitlement, instead of recognizing that a generation with less opportunity will redirect spending toward smaller comforts and status symbols. Weird and annoying? Often. But I also have empathy for why. x.com/MustardClem/st…

The $28 lunch obviously isn’t the cause of the housing crisis, but another consequence of it. People living with parents further into adulthood often spend more on little treats they can afford, look for reasons not to be home, and don’t really learn to budget.

You guys really don’t understand how entitled zoomers are about their luxuries. I didn’t either, at first. They will absolutely die on the hill of “I deserve daily $30 lunches”

@bill_zougras @ronmortgageguy Prices coming down drastically is absolutely wonderful news for anyone not already established - and thus should be considered great for all of us, and our shared future.
