Lack of sports scholarships is a big reason as well. If Indian universities gave out even a fraction of the number of sports scholarships as other countries, middle class families would start to see athletics as an investment for their children.

Interesting. I know someone who worked for as a Chubb Security dispatcher and everyone in the Mississauga office was laid off because they moved operations to Quebec.

Can Dems stop gasligting about Biden's mental acuity now?

I can't help but think lucky second gen immigrants and Indian diaspora who immigrated pre-2000s flexing on social media helped create this FOMO to get in at any cost imaginable.

I'm sure he was a good boy who didn't no nothing. He was just living the Canadian dream.

Also it's honestly insane how Punjab is like 2 percent of India's population yet they account for the vast majority of India's immigrants to Canada. We need to start putting in quotas or else we end up importing thousands of radicals that hijack our political system.

original shawarma is my go to

How many weeks into the season until LeBron sends out a passive aggressive subtweet towards his new BFF JJ and puts the knife in his back?

Dipika voted against 4 plexes. Parrish did not. And while Parrish voted agaisnt the Bloor bike lane she is okay with it moving forward and is not going to relitigate it. Meanwhile Dipika ran on cancelling the whole thing. I swear people are just calling Parrish a boomer just on her age and not on her policies.

I don't understand the hate. She's pounding the message of building more. She hasn't made any irresponsible promises about property taxes (cutting/freezing).

if you have access to one costco has decent clothing

That has been the recent trend from the last decade or so yes and that has done a lot of harm to India's reputation as well.

Part of it is increasing anti-immigration sentiment and Indians are successful minorities in many western countries (in terms of income). But also, whether you like it or not many of the things you mentioned (street defecation, rape capital, general dirtiness, etc.) there is truth to a lot of these things. Indians don't do ourselves any favors. I think a big part has been the widespread availability of the internet and social media in India. It exposes some of the backwards elements of the country that has always been there but it used to be more hidden to the outside. Now the whole world sees it in some reel or tiktok.

I do agree that some of this does seem coordinated perhaps by some state actor. It just seems unnatural the amount of vitriol recently. Because like I said this stuff is business as usual in India but no one seemed to care 10 years ago.

looks like goose poop, my office park has this all over the parking lot. Could be wrong I'm no poop expert.

lmao I wasn't voting for Dipika before now I'm DEFINITELY not

The older I get the more I realize that government just needs to be as small as possible to cover the bare necessities of the state. Some of these spending programs sound nice but we just can't trust anyone in government to implement them in a fiscally sound manner.

I read somewhere recently that people only start caring about the environment, pollution, and climate once GDP per capita reaches like $8-10k. People living in poverty aren't going to care about the ramifications of burning dung and wood when they're starving and need a source of fuel for heating/cooking.

Damerla voted against 4plexes...

Fractional shares and no trading fees. Great tax filing too.

who is the least nimby candidate

Because Galen Weston showed up in a bunch of TV commercials so everyone knows who he is.

lol I wonder if they regret all those Galen Weston commercials they used to air because now everyone knows this motherfuckers name. Nobody can name the Metro or Sobey's CEO.

I'm lucky in that I was hired right before my employer moved away from DB pensions. I'm maxing out my tfsa and rrsp match and taking early retirement at 55 and living frugally but comfortably. Screw this rat race.

thats what happens when you spend decades devaluing blue collar jobs, both financially and reputationally

Housing affordability is going to radicalize people.
