After WW2, Germans spent decades learning in school about the atrocities committed in their name and apologizing. Russian schools don't teach the atrocities committed by USSR. To this day Russian kids are taught that they are special, their history is glorious, Stalin was a hero.

One of her major sources of inspiration was the abortion ban in communist Romania under Ceausescu. Thousands of women died from rudimentary black-market abortions. Hundreds of thousands of kids were abandoned in orphanages. How is this piece of history stolen from BIPOC people?

This is an emergency situation, but water issues in
#yyc
are here to stay. Maybe it's time to consider smart water meters+dynamic pricing. We could then apply surge rates for water use in times of draught/emergencies to reduce consumption, instead of rellying on fines/goodwill.
Calgary’s water supply is in a critical state.
If we do not reduce our water use, we're at risk of running out.
All outdoor water use is banned under Stage 4 Water Restrictions. In addition, Calgarians are asked to restrict their indoor water use.

I still wonder if "speaking with an accent" is the barrier for me. Or if the actual barrier is the stereotype that if you speak with an accent you must be a slow thinker. And if the accent is Eastern European, you must be superficial/submissive/vodka-loving/socialist Russian.

Excellent thread. I’ve been comparing Russia to Canada. What a waste the obsession with military strength has been for the Russian people. Putin most likely doesn’t have 10 years to live, this might be his swan song. Whoever comes after him will face the same demographics though.

1-Water treatment is not free; 2-Mother nature does not provide enough water for unlimited use; 3-Surge pricing allows choice for how to curb water use. Some may want to switch from bath to quick shower but keep watering their vegetable garden. Stage4 restrictions forbid this.

Is this threat legal? H-GO and R-CG zoning already exist in Calgary. Those who oppose this blanket rezoning (I’ve read part of the >500 pages of comments) are concerned that these projects only go in certain communities, those that are already denser than the city’s 2030 target.

Reading many reports about how misinfomed Putin is about the state of military. Very plausible. Ceausescu was only fed the information he wanted to hear. Putin is smarter, but the incentive for mid managers to cover incompetence/corruption is there. Loyalty is also questionable.

As an economist I find this thread very informative. One thing not covered is the cost of design. No idea how big that is, but when Zara designs a piece the cost is spread over millions of units. For high-end brands, the small scale makes the design cost per unit much higher.

For the naughty children, Mykolai brings a small rod (rizka). He comes with an Angel (yanhol) & Devil (cohort)
