Political pressure? They're appointed for life, literally what consequences are there to pushing back? Honestly the senate is such a waste of money. They're trying to play both sides of this issue to the benefit of no one.

To me, this statement sounds like not condoning America's actions but still walking the line as to not sabotage trade talks. This has been Carney's MO with Trump from the start, appease just enough without bending the knee to get a deal done.

Most places aren't hiring right now because of economic uncertainty, even with job postings listed. If you were getting interviews from your resume before, you probably aren't doing anything particularly wrong.

Also, 100 applications in a year isn't a lot. You'll need to crank those numbers if you're in a rush to find something.

One character equals one byte of memory so my guess is they only allocated 16 bytes of space for the password.

This is true for storing text in general but passwords aren't supposed to be stored as text, they should be hashed. The size of the hash will depend on the hashing algorithm. In other words, if there's a database limitation for the size of a password, it probably means they're storing the password plaintext 💀

More likely than not it's just some poorly designed validation

What separation crisis? Alberta having a hissy fit over the election is hardly a crisis, and anyway, Quebec doesn't give a shit. Quebecers themselves do support a pipeline, so I don't think you can say the government will "push" anything through.

You have to miss two payments (of any kind, not just a credit card) within a 12-month period for it to affect your credit score.

Yes of course it would, why wouldn't it? If they couldn't recover/rebound from that, then their history is already iffy

I have seen too many credit scores ruined by a few missed payments and its very silly.

Very unlikely unless they already had a shaky credit history.

I closed my oldest credit card a bit ago, and it just dented my score by 30 for a few months before rebounding. I also missed a payment once (thought I had auto pay on, I didn't) and as far as I remember it didn't change my score.

At $880k my taxes after deductions were like $30k.

I'm not American, is this a joke or do you really pay 3.5% effective tax rate?

Is this just a game of math so that they only need 2 MPs to cross the floor for a majority?

Born in BC, grew up in Alberta, my "ou"s sound like "oa"s. About -> Aboat, Out -> Oat, couch/coach basically sound the same lol

I recently travelled for work to the US (air not ground), and I was able to opt-out of facial recognition. I'm sure that won't be an option forever, but if anyone has to travel in the short term and is concerned, you probably can opt-out.

Well in this riding yeah - my point is that in FPTP every vote matters in some ridings, but in many, it just doesn't
