“They’re the same picture”

I’m guessing that they have limited seats and are trying to make sure no one has to stand on the train by limiting the number of reservations, even if which seat to sit in is not assigned. In Japan, bullet trains and some express services require extra payment with your ticket or pre-booking, for either non-reserved or reserved class.

Look at their address and their warehouse, look at the website of the brands of products they sell and find their address. Are they Canadian or are they just a reseller of the same stuff coming from overseas?

When I want a cheap plastic thingy, or cheap hardware and electronics to play around with, I get it off aliexpress. It’s virtually the same stuff as amazon just for the patient. Most of that stuff is made in China already even if I get it from an online or local brick and mortar retailer, so it seems more direct to me, avoiding needless retransportation, warehousing and waste.

When I want a quality thing I buy it from a local shop, especially when I need to see it or compare before buying. I can often find a Canadian online retailer too with just a bit of sleuthing.

I’d only let it slide if the person was trying to sleep and it wasn’t busy. Even then, I would at least expect socks, though I suspect theirs became drenched.

No, the deputy PM is pretty much the subordinate of the PM and can be fired by them at any time.

I know you are genuinely confused just because you are unfamiliar with our system, so I will try to compare it to the US one. It’s like if a US House Rep like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also held Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen’s position, and also nominated to a title similar to Kamala Harris.

Trudeau and Freeland are not elected directly as leaders, but they were elected individually in their riding as Members of Parliament (MPs). But the leading party caucus of MPs nominates their leader (Trudeau), then the leader selects their deputy PM (Freeland) and cabinet ministers to lead governmental departments (like MacKinnon, Freeland, Holland etc.), usually following certain conventions. You can read about it here.

The spending measure passes the House of Commons and Senate (Parliament, akin to the US Congress). However, as her role as Minister of Finance she disagrees with the move, so she resigns from that. She will stay as an MP unless she resigns as that, but if she really disagrees with her party she can unalign herself from the Liberal caucus.

He has sufficient support in the Legislature to pass it (where Freeland is only 1 MP), but Freeland was his cabinet minister in charge of the budget and the Deputy PM, who was set to deliver the Fall Economic Statement. The increased spending passed by the Legislature was going to be on her to announce the ramifications of, effectively taking responsibility for the Liberal government. Instead she resigned out of conscience.

Just a tidbit of context for you that the article glosses over here:

Freeland and Trudeau have reportedly disagreed over proposals for temporary tax breaks and other spending measures, which were meant to shore up political support, but risked forcing Freeland to miss her spending goals.

This is talking about Trudeau deciding to remove temporarily remove federal sales taxes on toys, beer, takeout and dine-in meals, probably in hopes to improve his image over Christmas and blunt the impact of the Canada Post strike. These are sudden, expensive measures that to me it makes sense that Freeland didn’t agree with it. She didn’t start disagreeing out of nowhere.

I wrote about it on my other account a year ago: https://lemmy.world/comment/5005611

Hi, Micro$oft Community Advisor Alicia here!

I’m sorry to hear that your software occasionally crashes. Trying some of these steps may help you:

• Go to Windows Update and search for the latest drivers
• Run ‘sfc /scannow’ in command prompt
• Reinstall Windows

Please mark my post as “Answer” if this helped you solve your problem! Thank you!

I don’t separate colours, only new clothes I put in with towels, sheets or clothes that I wouldn’t care if colour bled.

I never wash with hot water, only warm or cold. Low heat dry and cold water washing is really the best effort-for-performance to get your clothes to last, you can hang dry some of them but I personally can’t be arsed.

Clean install without the HP bloat, backup the important stuff elsewhere first.

Another thing: Are you subscribed to a bajillion mods? That is the case for me. My CoD Black Ops 3 is 30GB, with DLC is 90GB, after Steam workshop mods is 377 GB.

When companies post ghost jobs, it is to pretend everything is going peachy, instill desperation and exhaustion in workers to hide their own desperation. Then they wonder why it’s so hard to find someone new when the employee they counted on but didn’t pay appropriately leaves.

I wasn’t mentioning that it is isn’t concering (it is), but I am only pushing back on that the suggestion that they would be pushing oil bidirectionally just for fun or profiting off of useless deliveries.

The oil and gas is in certain places of the country, the refineries are in other places in the country, the consumers of oil are all over the country, and both Canada and the US are very big countries which is why there is a lot of moving around.

All in all, there are similar elements to an electrical grid where energy is needed at different times of day or the year, except that it moves slower.

When I was on reddit, I got into a habit at some point of replying to standalone comments with just a handful of votes to start conversations and make people feel seen. It appears I’ve still retained that.

Unpopular opinions get super-duper downvoted here but don’t “disappear” as often as on Reddit (not including rule-breaking submissions).

I enjoy talking with the local and Lemmyverse regulars and also with most users. Reddit is so big you get lost in the 10000 comments, however many bots are copying top comments from a past repost you wouldn’t know. Lemmy is a good size now, if anything it should grow out instead of up (revitalizing more niche communities).

Topic niches served well by Lemmy: Linux, being upset at capitalism, Startrek, LBGTQ-friendly crowds on blahaj and beehaw, pcgaming, buying local and quality products (there are fewer suggestions but your average reply is better in quality than Reddit), Woodworking, DIY offgrid living (solarpunk), and a bunch more.
