I had to look it up because we're already able to get a mortgage with 5% down, this plan is to not require mortgage insurance on a 5% down payment loan.

How can I say this without offending anyone...?

Don't worry about it, anyone offended by what you said deserves worse.

They only switched the signs to GameStop in 2021, and if your area was anything like mine the only ones left by then were in the deep recesses of a few malls. I don't think I've ever seen a GameStop exposed to natural sunlight.

Clearly it was different elsewhere, but in BC (or at the very least on the Island) the GameStop name didn't show up until very recently. As in, you could walk into an EB Games and walk out with a PS5.
Edit: I forgot you couldn't really find them in store around launch but my point stands.

It is what it is, I'm not complaining, but your MPs represent less people than average. NS isn't even that disproportionate, PEI and the territories are way worse.

MPs/100,000 people
BC 0.86
AB 0.87
SK 1.24
MB 1.04
ON 0.86
QC 0.92
NB 1.29
NS 1.13
PE 2.59
NL 1.37
YT 2.49
NT 2.43
NU 2.71
Canadian average 0.93

If you want to argue whether or not population is actually a good measure of over/under representation that's fine, but you can't argue some people's votes count more or less than others.

Average population per riding federally is about 108000 (2021 numbers). For Nova Scotia it's about 88000. AB, BC, and ON are all around 115000 and Quebec is pretty much the only one right on the average.

Edit: I just did some quick spreadsheet math to see how even it could possibly get with the current total number of seats and making sure the territories each kept their seats: SK -3, NB NL NS PE -2 each, MB -1, NT NU QC YT no change, AB +2, BC +3, ON +7

And that guy won too, off to a great start.

Nova Scotia is kinda over represented though.

I get your point, but in what reality does it make more sense to move a country than to move to a country.

No one actually "runs for Prime Minister". The Prime Minister is simply the leader of the governing party. That is determined by the number of seats each party wins. The PM is almost always an elected MP, but as demonstrated for the past few weeks they don't have to be.

The American government has already shown they're happy to round up people who look like "foreign enemies"whether they are or not. If your enemy has almost the exact same demographics, all of a sudden there's probable cause to detain anyone (I know, it's not like they care about any due process but everything else feels like we're in make believe land anyways).

I'm curious what they mean about this "12 month restriction". Currently it takes 24 months of a class 7 (N) to be eligible for a full class 5. Is this lowering the bar further, or is it extending it to 36 months?
