Tell me more!
They're swinging at Canadian employers and workers. It's unclear if this will include items covered by CUSMA - if it does, Southern Ontario is fuuuuuuucked.
When I was younger, my libido seemed to drive a lot of my decisions. I suspect I would have made much better choices if it had been turned down.
You decide if you inform your family. If you cannot take that decision by yourself, you may not be ready to take the other, bigger decision just yet.
Oof. I prefer to think that OP is trying to think through the consequences and wants our advice. On the big decision as well as the smaller one.
To answer your question: you probably shouldn't tell them if you don't want drama.
I'm an older man. In the past decade, my libido has decreased significantly. I used to fixate on sex. I'd feel incredibly frustrated when a perceived opportunity for sex fell through. I spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at porn. A constant desire for sex complicated my romantic relationships.
Now that my libido is lower, sex feels like a fun activity. A missed opportunity is a minor disappointment, rather than severely frustrating. Porn feels like an occasional treat rather than a necessity. Wanting sex is something I choose, rather than a compulsion.
So I think I understand where you might be coming from. If I could have turned down my libido when I was your age, I think I might have considered it.
I don't know much about chemical castration. Other posters said there may be undesirable long-term side effects. You should discuss those with your family, since they might know about issues that run in your family. But there will be drama.
I dunno what it's like where you are, but voting in Canadian elections usually takes 15-45 minutes (for the 80% of Canadians in urban areas). I'm hard pressed to think of something you could with 45 minutes/year that would have a greater effect.
In theory we have a principled stance on Ukraine, Gaza, Afghanistan, and whatever is going down in Myanmar. We don't depend on those countries, but I would be very surprised if we change our verbiage or actions toward those countries.
I'd say we should open more business models and tax write-offs for legit news producers with majority Canadian ownership. I'd be ecstatic if there were disincentives for media concentration and foreign ownership.
But generally I'd prefer that the government avoid picking winners. The whole news subsidy thing feels like a bad idea: direct funding of legacy outlets creates a perception of bias, even if it's unjustified.
The key part comes from what Carney said about living in the lie: we can't just give lip service to those principles, like we did before.
I honestly have no idea what that would look like. Should we have put boots on the ground in Ukraine? What about the CCP's oppression of Uyghurs? Okay, now climate change?
Maybe the answer is that we be less principled, but honest about where we're willing to act.
I like how you avoided saying his actual name
That's a lot of hours. I'll give it another shot, but I'm taking it episode by episode.
Holy shit, that Montreal logo is amazing.
I've been using something similar for a while. They're comfy.
