I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work...
I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.
I think the big issue is that doctors are complaining about it. Everyone likes doctors, so tAkINg MoNeY oUt Of ThEiR pOcKeTs in the middle of a healthcare crisis looks bad.
eh. It feels like a good time to start talking about why they want that tax break. It’s because GPs run a business that sells services to each province.
Historically, that’s because docs didn’t trust the whole Tommy Douglas single payer thing. They wanted to stay their own bosses. But the current generation of GPs wants a decent work/life balance, which doesn’t work so well financially. So maybe it’s time to offer GPs the chance to be employees.
Of course, that’s a province-by-province thing, and it’s not our politicians’ style to actually fix shit.
The data has costs associated with it: they’ll want to back it up, they need to migrate it when they change formats, they need to maintain the hardware it resides on.
And, as the article mentions, there are liabilities around law enforcement requests, costs due to data breaches, and regulatory requirements.
Missions are hard to write. Most of the ones I’ve looked at (for D&D, old school D&D, and Cyberpunk RED) have been weak. I find the best missions are remixes of official modules written by GMs who have run them.
Waterdeep: Dragonheist was pretty rough. There isn’t a lot of player choice, and there’s a ten scene railroad where the macguffin is yoinked away from the players at the end of each scene.
War of the Burning Sky was similarly linear.
So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.
The Cyberpunk mission format encourages authors to make less linear scenarios. It reminds the author that multiple paths are to be expected.
Having said that, I have a hard time with Kibble Flavoured Popcorn and Drummer and the Whale from Tales of the Red because scenes aren’t tied together well, or some scenes don’t require the players to do anything.
This is where the remixes come in. Seasoned GMs can easily improve individual scenes while keeping the shape of the adventure.
Although you’re correct, all three levels of government have basically outsourced housing policy to developers, and are relying on the BoC’s overnight rate to control affordability.
The original comment is right: all three levels of government are primarily looking out for wealthy Canadians who are invested in real estate.
With these changes, the housing market probably will go “brrrrrrrrrr.”
A big part of the problem is that the official opposition hasn’t presented a mature alternative. Organizations like the PBO would usually evaluate the top contenders, but there aren’t any. None of the Conservatives, NDP, or Bloc are pushing an alternative.
It isn’t the PBO’s role to make up straw man alternatives to test the effectiveness of government policy.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.
A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.
We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).
I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.
