The most pressing issue for young people is housing/cost of living. Whether or not this is typically the responsibility of the federal government, paying only lip service to the issue or saying not my problem enrages people. The federal government needs to actually show some leadership and find some way to incentivize more housing (and specifically denser and affordable housing) at the local level or build it themselves.

While I definitely fault the libs for not doing more, I'm not impressed with the conservative or NDP takes on this issue either.

It makes me think of a couple of suspicious looking missiles hanging out in a hotel lobby

I will get a booster this fall, but honestly I'm not worried. I am not wearing a mask unless I'm sick myself but I respect other people's choices.

They really missed an opportunity to put a toaster on the counter. It would be so convenient to have fresh toast for you and your friends when having a bath.

Generally yes they will only call you if there is something wrong. Family docs / NPs have too many patients and tests to call everyone with normal results in most cases. A few things are weird about your case though.

  1. 8 months for a follow up test
  2. not telling you why you needed it
  3. not scheduling a follow up

While I'm sure stuff like this happens often, ideally it isn't supposed to. You should call your NP and schedule a follow up yourself.

I prefer self checkout if I have a few items but it can be a pain the more items you have. There isn't a lot of room in the bagging area and I have to fight with the machine freaking out over unexpected items in the bagging area 🙄

Exactly. The solution to the housing problem is not sprawling detached homes, plazas, and traffic jams for as long as the eye can see. Rather than make the hard choices and enforcing density in the GTA, he gave a bunch of land to his buddy big developers. But since this is Ontario and the political opposition is weak I'm sure next to nothing will come of this.

While I agree that supply is only part of the problem, I find this article just vaguely blames capitalism without providing any real solutions.
