I used to think Québec's loudness was fun. Not anymore lol

I've been living with a quiet anglo for too long 😆

Foodiekenobi,

@Auxonic @dairpo @stephanie ha ha! My parents were always the quiet type but my extended Chinese family and Chinese people in Chinese restaurants are very loud. It's a sign of life. When I met my French Canadian in laws and extended family, I also thought they were going to kill each other over hockey teams... 😆

"Addressing the childcare gap would immediately lead to a 1% increase in women’s participation in the labour force. The report said less than half the countries had financial support or tax relief for parents of young children and less than a third had quality standards in place for childcare that could assure parents of their children’s safety."

Foodiekenobi,

"In 81 countries, a woman’s pension benefits do not account for periods of work absences related to childcare."

Dinner! Italian (turkey) Meatball Soup. This was very delicious! 😋

Foodiekenobi,

@Shanitoba Recipe please? Looks amazing.

Foodiekenobi, to random

Thank you for all the answers. It is yuzu pepper sauce. It is yummy on back bacon.

Foodiekenobi,

Now, the question are "is it sold in Ottawa and if so where?" #ottawa #food #JapaneseFood

I will look at T&T when I go there next which usually every 6 to 8 weeks. I will be in Montreal before that.

Foodiekenobi,

@ottaross Jack Astor of all places used to have yuzu dressing on their fancy nachos which they no longer have on the menu.

Foodiekenobi, to food

Does anyone know what this is? Gifted to us. From Japan. It's a kind of hot condiment. It smells spicy but dunno what food it should accompany. #food #JapaneseFood

The wind is blowing again. Guess we're into the plummeting temperature phase now.

Foodiekenobi,

@mariellequinton @ottaross I went for a walk and it wasn't that bad. A few stronger gusts.

On the good news front taxes are filed and we bought a new used car today!

Foodiekenobi,

@Chigaze Congrats on the new car and having your taxes done! We usually do ours 3 days before the deadline.

I wish I had the day off tomorrow

Foodiekenobi,

@stephanie Me too. Seems unfair that some of us do not have it off.

Weekend plans (after Costco): finish painting the media room! Kyle really wanted a fun geometrical wall behind the TV, so hopefully we can do it! (White, pale blue, dark blue and black).

We have baseboards and a ceiling without holes, so that's a good start!

White wall with some geometric shapes made with green painting tape

Foodiekenobi,

@stephanie nice! You guys are daring. What happens with the post?

gemelliz, to ontario

Premier Ford has announced he's calling a referendum before implementing a provincial carbon pricing program. 🤔​

#Ontario has noticed there was NO referendum for stuff that #DougFord is REALLY keen on getting done. Stuff like privatizing public healthcare, or paving the way for Shoppers as a go-to for primary care, or BEER, or demolishing the Science Centre, or building a private spa, or building houses on the Greenbelt, or building HWY413... that is "Get It Done" by hook or by crook stuff 🙄

Foodiekenobi,

@Snowshadow @gemelliz As a Québécoise with many Ontarian friends, I am sad to see Ontario so slow in making the electric transition. The infrastructure is so much better for EVs in Quebec.

Are people finding that a lot of societal issues are no longer covered by media anymore? #Canada #Media #news

Foodiekenobi,

This is why I support independent journalists like Chris from the Rover https://therover.ca/ #news #Canada #media #journalism

Foodiekenobi,

And Paul Wells https://paulwells.substack.com/ #news #canada #media #journalism

Foodiekenobi,

However, I remain concerned that there isn't the depth of journalists to investigate issues that affect Canadians and require addressing such as delays in processing Canadian Pension Plan or Employment Insurance applications. #news #media #canada #journalism #Canadians

This contrasts with the rathe friendly Canadian farmer protests from a few years ago. They were handing out cheese curds and they parked in from of Parliament Hill. #ottawa

Ha. If he could see the party now …🤨

#canada #cdnpoli #poilievre

Foodiekenobi,

@Snowshadow @gemelliz I don't understand why the progressive conservatives are not reclaiming the party.

Where do you dispose of your old light bulbs? They're mostly not LEDs (because the ex-owner was weird).

It's really hard to find information online.. anywhere you don't have to call ahead of time?

Foodiekenobi,

@stephanie The Reno Depot here in Gatineau has a recycling box for lightbulbs. Bureau en Gros too. Guessing Home Depot would?

The 9yo and my wife made a #snowman and used the nearby vegetation to decorate it.

I call him Burrt

Foodiekenobi,

@jim_i_am My kids don't make snowmens and I wonder what is wrong with them.

Great, Quaker Harvest cereal and granola bars possibly contaminated with salmonella and being recalled #food #foodSafety #foodContamination #granolaBars #Costco
