While we're pondering that, at the other end of the economic scale, I heard an interview on the radio this morning with an American woman who opened a cupcake shop in downtown Athens just at the beginning of the downslide.  Hamptons Cupcakes, it's called.  The place was busy.  For what it's...

Not sure if this is what RCN/DNHH encountered, specifically, but part of the accessibility issue has been that the "reading" machines for visually impaired people can't cope with two different languages on the same page, so any document in the old side-by-side format has had to be taken down. ...

(Edit mine.)  Yep, nip that baggage in the bud.  It will be good to hear more of what he has to say, in due course.

;D  You're right... no good can come of that kind of thing. 

Ottawa-area.  It's a big area, & a long commute from the country but well worth it.  I like seeing stars at night.  :nod: 

Just saw this thread ... hmm, not one word on her suitability for the role!  ;)  Although in fairness, it is nice to see an HCol/HLCol wear the uniform well, & in keeping with a good image for the CF.  Seems to me like a high-profile public figure with a history of supporting the CF is a very...

I.e. to Vancouver?  How long is it? Different people need different things... for example, I need a 2nd-hand bookstore.  Fortunately, my current town of 2500 has one.  No more bakery, sadly...  :'(    Anyway, each to their own requirements. 

On the other hand, if he thinks he might be miserable in a limited # of locations afforded a particular trade, now's the time to ask the questions. Big cities & small communities each have their pros & cons.  Personally my QOL went up when I left the city, and my cost-of-living went way down -...

Ha!  I like the "whoosh" one - it comes across a bit more clearly.  The Ignore button is always useful too, of course. Mods, can we add another smiley to the expanding list?  A picture is worth a thousand words!  Or nine, anyway.

It was ever thus.  Reminds me of this old chestnut: "...we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization." -NOT Petronius.  Over in the IM/IT world, all...

The photo caption says he's a chartered accountant, but the story says he's ED of Nova Scotia's Utility and Review board.  I'd guess the latter is correct-?

Career politician, career politician, career politician, lawyer, lawyer.  ....Sigh....
