Whoever wins the election is going to have to clean up the financial mess that Uncle Sam has got himself into and which in short order is going to be revealed with disastrous consequences all round. Other than in Argentina, I am not aware of any politicians anywhere (in the world) who are prepared to deal with economic disaster other than by throwing money at the problem (as happened in 2008 and last year with the California banks that went bankrupt). There's a limit to how much money a country can print.

Those are very comforting numbers. Glad to see that D.E.I. is ready to DIE.

No. Smart-phone obsession is a real addiction.

You have sex???

They undoubtedly will [express their will]. (Get back to me to laugh if I am wrong in October 2025, the time of the next election.) PS: NO positions should be advertised thus (in a merit-respecting democracy, of which, alas, there are now all too few).

I'm glad you posted this advertisement. It is by no means an isolated incident. It shows quite clearly how a country can commit a kind of national suicide. Luckily, all the polls show that Canadians are ready to toss out of power the idiots who try to eliminate the idea of "merit", the only criterion that, a decade ago or more, used to guarantee that Canada was a country worth considering as a progressive and democratic place to live, no matter WHERE you stood on the political spectrum.

Home-school education is not "cutting off" their education.

"Straight"!!!! Love that....

Whatever their motive for leaving Trudeauland, the most bizarre thing is that they are leaving a place, Saskatchewan, that challenges Siberia for coldest place on the planet in winter.

Fear not, the loss of Thai tourists will be compensated for by the huge influx of expats from various parts of Thailand to Bangkok during the one week of the year when the city is more or less quiet and unpolluted.

Clearly you have not observed the easy entrance to America at the southern border. Biden has let in, during his three disastrous years, up to 10 million illegals who have just walked into the country with (as the years ahead will show, I believe) disastrous consequences. I suspect not a single one of those 10 million has needed a visa!

Fascinating echo here of King Lear lamenting his daughter Cordelia who does not flatter him with false devotion (as do his two other daughters, Goneril and Regan): "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!"

Why are Russians being given the privilege of a 90-day visa exempt? Are they richer than Westerners or something?

What a brilliant opportunity to advance the cause of non-vehicle traffic. Just imagine the thousands of pedestrians and cyclists who could use the bridge daily, thus helping to reduce the pollution of central Bangkok.

sorry my bad....inattentive reading

Er, I don't think there's an airport at Hull. But I know what you mean....

I wonder if the guy is a Muslim? Might be his get-out-of-jail-free card if so.

Sorry, that's an Irish punishment.

"Potential collapse"....emphasis on potential ( probably in 2924 AD).

Yup, change since the universe was created....so, the same as the weather (or "climate"as they now call the weather).

Air Canada (certainly not low cost, just low service!) will not make a human voice available. I had to go to the airport in order to find a human. She easily fixed a problem that otherwise would have caused considerable stress.

Presumably, pollution is not restricted in its penetration to riff-raff like us? So, how do the people who ...er..."run" the country plan to evade the high levels of pollution?

I just looked up the Non-O visa on the website of the Vancouver Consulate. It here mentions insurance. (Out of date???) https://www.thaiconsulatevancouver.ca/consulate/documents/visa/non-imm-o-retirement.pdf

anyone know the cost of an entropion operation? Plus ophthalmologist for the job (anywhere in Th)? Entropion = lower lid eyelash growing in instead of out.

IF you had read the thread, you would know that most people on here use subtitles when attempting to watch drama.
