Jerry Seinfeld with a great fatherhood anecdote in this video.

It explains something I've thought about many times:

"One of the nice things God does, is that he doesn't let people who don't have kids know what they're missing."

And once you have kids, something opens up in your brain that you didn't know was there.

In other words, it's incomprehensible until it happens.

That's how it was for me. I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I tried. I even went through a phase in my 20s where I thought I might not even want kids.

That phase was thankfully brief, but it's helpful for me to remember when speaking with people who are in that phase themselves.

Nobody has ever really appreciated it until they're in it themselves. If life before kids feels like a separate lifetime, that's because it is.

@priorconfirmed @DemosKratosCA Do you have an updated graph with those revised gdp numbers per capita? Think we’ll see more positive revisions?

@dmacpher Time will tell! Cuts coming from somewhere to meet that nato commitment

@nachkari And since it caps at like $80K household income, we’d have way bigger problems if more people born here qualified for CCB

@priorconfirmed Don’t think I saved the source sorry — I’ll take a look tomorrow in case but report’s a few years old

@StockTalk416 @nachkari I think Spring election <20, Fall election 50/50.

6 months of no carbon tax, lower immigration, dental care rollout, PP fatigue and general shift to centre right might get Carney there I think.

@nachkari lol the whole theory is dumb too, nba owners will earn billions more from a new Vegas team (expansion fees) than from a relocation

@donnelly_b @ZoeCoombes @robcerjanec @EricDLombardi I’m not completely sure but no bins to knock over, lids that self-close, and enough capacity to not overflow, so I assume these help? I’ve seen in Europe and have heard they’ve been used at some commercial sites in Calgary.

@ZoeCoombes @robcerjanec @EricDLombardi @donnelly_b Underground works well: https://t.co/4rbQ2Ww0rp

@nachkari If we had the healthcare capacity / no wait lists / etc I think we’d consume almost as much imo. We just get waitlisted, so the lower spend isn’t really by choice.

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@kevinmilligan As proposed, definitely wouldn’t cover close to 2.7mil, with ~35-40% of homeowners being mortgage free.

I’d think the full amount would be available to even fewer than ~37% of households (with it being $3K in monthly mortgage *interest* costs, not mortgage payments).

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@TomDavidoff @RazzberryYams Yes tons. Many will benefit from full deduction. It appears to get full amount, need to have <$250K individual income *and* $3K of individual monthly mortgage *interest* pmt. My hunch is that most of these large mortgage holders have higher income and/or a 2nd owner

@RazzberryYams @TomDavidoff

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@RazzberryYams @TomDavidoff Not really? Seems to apply a 5% credit to rents and mortgage interest of up to $36K/yr, with means test at ~$250K income. Not a lot of mortgage holders with $3K in monthly interest and <$250K income. Most benefit seems to go to renters (saving up to $150/month)

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@EmigrationC @MikePMoffatt @nasdaqpapi I don’t know what you’re still arguing about. The 20% stat I noted is directly from the IRCC website. All the best.

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@EmigrationC @MikePMoffatt @nasdaqpapi They do. Masters students are in addition to those numbers.

[Kevin @kevin__177]

@MikePMoffatt @nasdaqpapi The difference is from 20% (~97K) of existing students who receive extensions for expiring permits. So they’re approving 365K new permits + the 97K existing. Next year 350K new + 87K existing

@Tommy_the_Bear @AlexRMcColl @LeoSpalteholz @ScottAAitchison Usually can’t access from outside to walk up these stairs though + highrises have multiple elevators. In 5 storey buildings, maybe 40% of tenants would prefer to walk up, in highrise maybe 5%
