Why does it matter how I feel? It has nothing to do with me.

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they all stink.

Yes, they do. Before the pandemic, the food counter was cash only so they needed a cash machine.

They’ve clearly never shopped at Costco. I can’t get out of there without dropping at least $200. Because, you don’t know you need a package of 50 AAA batteries, a gallon of mustard, 300 allergy pills, and a dozen rolls of Christmas wrapping paper until you’re there. Inside Costco that just makes sense.

What part of “led to reassess her priorities” based on the “complexity of the process and volume of paperwork” do you not comprehend?

If the process were easier she would already be a doctor.

But the process is so difficult she had to ask if it was worth going thru all of that to be a doctor.

You’re clinging to her being “happier” pursuing nursing. A pursuit she wouldn’t have even considered if the process to become accredited were easier.

I think I can be excused for paraphrasing “the complexity of the process and volume of paperwork” as “too much”. I doubt anyone read that and thought “must be easy”.

She saw what was required and that “led her to reassess her priorities”. If the process were easier she wouldn’t have been “led” to reassess those priorities.

Except the article also says that she tried to get accredited as a doctor but the amount of paperwork was simple too much.

She came here and wanted to stay a doctor but red tape made it too difficult. So she has chosen an option that still lets her help people. I’m happy that she’s comfortable with her decision but it wasn’t her first choice. She wanted to stay a doctor when she got here.

It’s a shame we make it so difficult for doctors to emigrate and recertify in Canada when we have a need for them.

Shouldn’t we be upset that at a time when the shortage of doctors means a significant portion of the population does not have a primary care physician, a trained physician who cared for patients in another country cannot practice in Canada but rather has to retrain as a nurse?

For low vocal Black Metal, I’d look at Celeste.

Stoner/Doom look at Sleep, Candlemass.

For a more Gothic/Doom feel try Unto Others.

I thought it was only me.

Leafs fans and the media need to learn to actually LOVE the Leafs and stop with the unreasonable expectations that they must win the cup every year. When they have a good season, like this year, the expectations are even worse.

I don’t feel sorry for Leafs fans. I feel sorry for the players that have to deal with your bi-polar “we love you!” / “we hate you” mood swings.

I loved this movie the first time I saw it, when it was called Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

You’ve finally discovered the truth. Donald Trump is three 5 year-olds in a coat.

The very first Heinlein book I read was The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. It featured Lazarus Long, and I went on to read many of his books.

Starship Troopers is a quick read, well worth it.

Stranger in a Strange Land is an all time classic novel, a MUST read.
