    What is your favorite Canucks game of the last decade? (2010-2020)

    It's definitely not my favorite of the decade but what immediately came to mind was our home opener this year against the Kings.  If I'm not mistaken that's when LA lost to "a team like that" LOL

     

    It was fun! 

    I was at that game, and remember reading about his comments later and just laughing, and laughing. One of the best games I've ever attended. Normally I don't relish running the score up on teams, but to see it done against a team like LA, who I have always hated, was so joyful. The pregame ceremony naming Bo captain and seeing Hughes' first goal were both treats. Lots of great moments from that one.

     

    Toffoli scored against us too. :lol:

    An engineer before turning to politics.

    I'd say not much of an engineer, given her willingness to skip the homework and just jump to a favourable, in her opinion, conclusion.

    Was also their health critic. and was going to campaign for leader. :picard:

    If they were offering 10 grand a month, should people who don't make 10 grand a month get 10 grand a month because they don't make 10 grand a month?

    But they're not, they're offering $2, 000. Which, incidentally, is pretty close to what people making minimum wage (at least in BC) and normally working 37.5-40 hrs/week make.

     

    What's the problem?

    Question for Indo-Canadians who grew up in those big houses

    That is something I regret that my extended family was unable to do. 
    Is it cultural?

    I know entire blocks in Kamloops that were quickly bought up by organized families that way. I’m jelly.

    I agree, my parents pushed me out of the house, they just never realized how far I would go, I never really wanted to leave Canada, but I had no desire to live on my own.

    I wasn't pushed out, but I started paying rent to them the second I turned 18 and for all intents and purposes, was self-sufficient. Mom maybe picked up a few things for me here and there when she went shopping, but other than that nada. Now, we (my two sisters, mom, dad, and myself) are all spread out and don't get to visit each other nearly as much as we would like.

     

    I am also envious of families smart enough to structure themselves this way; the advantages are obvious and so conductive to setting each other up for success.

    I live in a building which, since I've moved in, I've discovered houses some pretty shady peeps (two incidences of everyone's mailboxes being smashed/ripped into, someone spraypainted very unbecoming remarks about a man named "Perry" up and down our stairwell, etc...) but there are various small, quiet families living in it too. Coming home from work yesterday there was a note on the inside of our front door — Someone stating they've made themselves available to assist elderly and at-risk people in the building with their necessary tasks (grocery shopping and the like) during the outbreak, with their contact info and apartment number.

     

    Caught me a bit off guard with recent observances in the place, but it was refreshing to see someone with a positive reaction to this whole thing.

    What about renters?

     

    I rent out a cabin, if I get a break on my mortgage I will obviously defer their rent. But are there measures in place that put pressure on other landlords to do the same?

    It would reaaaaally take a lot of stress off a lot of people if they could find a way to do it. Myself included.

     

    Good on you for doing it voluntarily.

    My first watch of the Office left me so confused at how people could possibly like the show. I couldn't stand Michael. Turned it off partway through the first episode. Big mistake. Huge. It gets a lot better through each episode of the first season and then maybe peaks around season 3 or 4.
