Facebook marketplace for used books and used goods in general. Lots of good quality basically new stuff on there for cheap. I guess because so many Canadians just buy stuff without thinking and then it piles up and they need to make space.
Some neighbourhoods also have some boxes on posts (not sure what they’re called, they resemble mailboxes) where people can take and give away books for free as well.
You can also type ‘bookstores’ in google maps and seeing what local stores will come up.
Can confirm. Was a waiter for about 6 months. Everyone there at the very least smoked cigs, weed, drank, and got completely shitfaced almost everyday after the shift. I imagine for cooks they could do it during their shift. Heard meth and crack are very popular too but I never seen it myself.
I think it’s the combo of the stress, the low salary, and high turnover. The ones that stay develop
coping mechanisms. I imagine a few get lucky and get to work at fancy places too.
The problem is that despite western countries granting independence to their former colonies, the world order and the global economy is still set up in a colonial way. The global south remains dependent on western support.
I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France. An isolated region like that greatly benefits from the economic support that being part of a larger country provides, even if it comes at the cost of racism.

It’s funny how in these kinds of articles it’s implied that there’s some magic place out there unaffected by corporate greed where everyone is moving to but in reality there is no escape from the rising cost of living.
Other countries have strengths in different places that might be better for some people’s specific situations, but overall Canada’s still obviously a great place to live.
That second paragraph… I know what you mean. I like imagining myself living in Australia or somewhere else that’s warmer but long term Canada will probably be the best place to be for trying to survive climate change.
The main thing that holds us back sociopolitically is probably our proximity to the US.
It’s very much workaholic here like I imagine it is in the US. I’d be cool to ‘take a year off’ and move to Costa Rica just to see what it’s like. Maybe being less stressed is worth it no matter the lack of infrastructure.
I’m hoping the crazy situation in the US will get well educated Americans and big corpos to migrate to Canada so we can get that free boost to our economy.
