I see. So, does this mean that "dedication ceremony" is an American usage?

In the context of the military. Is it like a formal occasion where military personnel are back from combat, and some of them are honored for their brave deeds? I encountered this phrase in a book. The context mentioned that soldiers were given purple heart pins. Which I think is what they do...

I like butter as well, but it has to be very spreadable so I can easily spread it on my toast.

Gender studies has got to be the most useless degree.

It's interesting the stuff that they dig up.

I see, thanks for the answer. I have been leaning towards online, independent sources of news, myself. Honestly I feel a deep sense of distrust towards mainstream, more established media.

Not really a recipe, but more like a cooking tip: when you make meatballs from scratch, make sure you use regular ground beef, not lean ground beef. The extra fat in the regular ground beef will give your meatballs extra flavor. I remember making one such batch, and when I took the pan out of...

I know what you are talking about; here, a lot of international students do that. They sleep in bunk beds and share one room with many people so as to keep the rent lower. But the issue is lack of privacy. Also, they probably won't have the space to put desks for 4 people, which they need in...

Nobody I know, except one, can afford a house where I live. There's simply too much demand for housing. Also, rent has really gone up, too. I remember about 25 years ago, it was around $400 for a room. But now it can easily be over $1000.

Thank you for explaining.

:lol: I don't get what's funny about this one. Someone explain please?

They should also host similar job fairs at UBC and SFU. Larger talent pools.

Why wouldn't that be the case? People who want immigrants are currently getting their way. People who don't are SOL.

Monkhouse was b*tching about how I posted in a thread from 2019. He didn't say it was against the rules, but he was evidently very unhappy about it. I think this thread we are posting in right now is probably his doing. He wanted to ban me but had no legitimate excuse to, so he came up with...

I am sure that there are people who disagree. Yet, the thing is, pro-immigrant people get to impose their will on others by letting in more immigrants. And people who don't want immigrants can't do anything about it.

Bad. You?

So responding to older threads is against the rules? Did you see the part where I said the thread was relatively fresh, sitting on page 2?

I have never been contacted by any pollsters, either. Also, regarding the legitimacy of polls, I think that they specifically design the questions in a way so as to lead people to answer in a particular way. Apparently the tricks they use are ethically questionable. I don't put too much stock...

Housing in Canada is increasingly unaffordable because the government keeps letting in immigrants. The country literally gets more people than its infrastructure can provide for.

Sounds like you want to insult me but don't want to break site rules. Not sure what you are saying. So If I ask a few questions, that means I am like, what, a spy from China? I don't understand the basis of your suspicion. What would I get out of infiltrating this fine forum? Thank you. If...
