As Canada strategizes to fortify its economy against the impact of new American tariffs, various proposals have emerged to mitigate the risk of a recession.

Which approach do you believe would be most effective?

In Britain if you’re a doctor/dentist most literally earn £30-40k in the first year. Obviously there’s the potential you can earn 300,400,500k+ with experience/specialisation being an entrepreneur but for a new person starting today it is really bad it’s a long journey

Back when I was much younger, in my dating days, I was working on a project out of town and called my then-girlfriend around 8pm. We had a great phone call, talked about all kinds of things, and then we both realized that it was 7am and we had to get to work... no sleep that night. That call lasted 11 hours, and cost me quite a bit (it was a landline call from the hotel I was staying at), but it was worth it.

What is the longest phone call you've ever had with a member of the opposite sex?

Recently, I've been planning to get myself more elegant shirts for everyday life. I've heard "women prefer men wearing shirts instead of T-shirts" so I've been wondering..

Is that actually so? Women out there, what's your opinion?

When you are in a relationship, are you dominant, equal, submissive or a switch?

Person in house: "What?"

Me: "I was talking to the cat/dog/pet/myself!!"

After years of experience from my life and also other people's lives I have a feeling that a Guy doesn't need to be any specific "type". All he needs to do is just "want her".

How much do you agree?

DNA can show where your ancestors came from. Thats geography.

Are Pennsylvanians a race? Ethnicity is more valid but still just based on nations. Doesn’t mean anything. My ancestors were Irish and Welsh. What does that mean? Nothing.

It’s quite sad how segregated we are by skin color. It has no physical difference. But economics is political. Marx was right about that.

To clarify the choices:

Yes, men still had chores in traditional gender roles, but they were typically different from women's household duties. The division of labor depended on the time period, culture, and class, but in general:

Men’s Traditional Chores:

Providing & Finances – The primary responsibility was earning money to support the family.

Heavy Labor & Maintenance:
-Chopping wood
-Fixing things around the house (plumbing, carpentry, electrical work)
Maintaining the roof, fences, and other structures

Yard Work & Farming:
-Mowing the lawn
-Tending to crops (if they had a farm or garden)
-Taking care of large livestock (horses, cattle, etc.)

Home Protection & Security:
-Ensuring the home was safe from intruders
-Handling firearms, if applicable
-Resolving disputes or external threats
Seasonal Responsibilities:
-Clearing snow in winter
-Harvesting crops in fall
-Preparing firewood for the colder months

Transportation & Errands:

-Driving the family where they needed to go

-Taking care of the car (oil changes, repairs, etc.)

Disciplinary Role – In some households, the father was seen as the authority figure for disciplining children.

Women’s Traditional Chores for Comparison:
-Cooking and preparing meals
-Cleaning the house
-Doing laundry
-Taking care of children and elderly family members
-Sewing and mending clothes
-Grocery shopping (sometimes)
-Handling social obligations and hospitality

Even in traditional gender roles, men weren’t completely free from household tasks. It's just that their work was often more physically demanding and focused outside the house, while women handled more of the day-to-day upkeep inside.

My Vote: Only under strict regulations.

“As AI advances, the question of rights becomes more relevant. The distinction between sentience and simulation is key. If an AI were truly self-aware, denying it rights would raise ethical concerns. But without clear evidence of independent thought, it’s safer to treat AI as an advanced tool rather than a person. What would be the deciding factor for you?”
