There's a massive opportunity to use the US's current anti-science sentiment to reverse the brain-drain that's been going on for decades.

You can fit so many kids in this thing.
Could fit about 4950 children into a 550sqft, 9ft ceiling 1BR skybox. Assuming a child is taking up about 1ft^3^ on average between the ages 0-14, and ignoring the feasibility.
I assume you're a fellow engineer?
Excellent news!
That is some good looking news.
What’s the state of healthcare work in canada? Or does it vary by territory?
In the US doctors have to go in absurd debt but they’re paid a lot to compensate. Insurance companies increasingly dictate what care people get (the doctors have to fight them). Small practices have mostly been closed because they can’t afford admin teams big enough to keep up with the insurance companies and their constantly changing policies. Most practices push for 15 minute appointments.
Kinda curious if BC’s pay rates would be enough to pay down the student debt too.
My understanding is that since insurance is all BC Medical, you don't need a lot of people to deal with it. Small practices run with less overhead.
That said, I have supplemental coverage through Blue Cross. So other insurance can be involved.
There are ten provinces and three territories. Let's get some sharing up in here. Somrtomes I am pretty tired of just how "federal" Canada is.
What does the Federal Government have to do with a B.C. Government initiative?
Unfortunately nothing. I wish we were a country sometimes.
How are we not a country?
Well for example it has taken 200 years and a threat of fascist invasion to begin talking anout drinking each other's beer.
Ah yes, how can we forget that this is Canada's 200th anniversary, after the signing of the confederation in 1825. Sounds like you've definitely got your facts straight...
You believe that up until now we have not been able to get Alcohol made in other provinces?
Maybe they’re from Alberta?
They are a bot or troll. Best to just move along.
What in the hell are you talking about? I can walk down the street and get Canadian beer and liquor from almost every province. I drank fucking moosehead and Alexander Keith's from the east coast in central Ontario in 2000 and fucking 5.
Fun fact, I live in Scotland, and the only "Canadian Themed" pub/restaurant(where I live) doesn't carry any Canadian booze....other than Moosehead.
Also their "poutine" is gravy and chips with grated cheddar. They can get themselves well and truly to fuck with that shit.
