    I grew up in the world’s coldest city without central heating. Here’s what the world can learn from us

  • It's mildly interesting, but mostly about the way they heat beds.

  • Canada has no intent of pursuing free trade deal with China, says PM after Trump threat

    Jump

  • I didn't say it was appeasement. I was simply saying that appeasement doesn't work, implying that we shouldn't let the threats affect policy. Should have added more detail.

    Should I be trying to leave the USA before it's too late?

  • Canadian here. I know several people from the U.S. who have moved here. First of all, it's not easy. Canada immigration doesn't see Americans as any more desirable than other similar countries. It's a system of points. Some things that increase points are: skills, education, knowledge of English, probability that you will stay. Let me also say that the people I know find Canada a mixed bag. You probably don't realize it, but you probably have a huge American identity. Being in a place with a different culture and mindset brings out those sentiments, especially when the people around you are trash talking the way the U.S. is treating us. Realize that we legally have a lot less personal rights and more group rights. Realize we have systems that you would consider socialist and probably have different interest in sports, politeness, and the world. Having said that, most peoplewho have moved here enjoy the more easy-going style, the greater social safety net, and the reduction in fear. Some I've talked to have said this was the biggest thing that hit them. In the U.S., they unconsciously carried an inner fear that was not apparent in Canada. I'm not trying to encourage or discourage you. Just know, it's probably gonna be different than you expect it.

  • Nearly one-third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims

  • lol. So an article made to look like social media research is compromised is in effect saying it's more ethical than regular research.

  • I watched the speech. It's one of the most profound, intelligent speeches I've ever heard a politician give.

  • TIL there's a whole genre of movies called Mockbusters, movies that bootleg the expensive originals.

  • Huh. I never remember noticing. Maybe it's a U.S. thing.

  • Surprised to see Canada in the (very short) list of countries who accepted the invitation to Trump's Board of Peace. How did the public take it?

    Jump

  • I haven't heard a lot of people talking about it. I think, in general, Canadians have been impressed with Carney and respect his intellect and political skills. I think there's a common feeling that they'll go along with his descisions with guarded expectation.

  • Sex matters: European urban birds flee approaching women sooner than approaching men

  • A couple of the possible reasons, according to the discussion section of the article, was that 1) women may have historically hunted for smaller prey (birds) thus installing a fear of women and 2) it may be an olfactory response to women.
