Appeals court puts tariff ruling on hold

TACO…more specifically, pollo. Okay, let’s grab some chips, salsa, guacamole and queso. Can have a party while we watch this all play out… 🤣

Federal Court blocks almost ALL tariffs

This is why I have an issue with GenZ's attitude of "I can do whatever the h3ll I want!"

Dallas anything is arrogant. And since I have relatives in Edmonton, I can legit say GO OILERS!!!!!!

I'm hearing that That Guy wants more money directed to trade programs. Perhaps that's the ONLY thing more people can agree on, but I think it's really only so that he could GET more people on his side/convert people. Not every kid is made for a four year, academic degree. But that doesn't override anything. I'm praying for you guys north of the border.

@Yeah No: Just curious why you didn't get an Airbnb/Vrbo?

That's probably why they want to get rid of international students. Those kids have higher grades and do much better, academically, and later, in their careers than domestic students.

Someone in the Cantonese subreddit asked how one said "I'm proud of you" in Cantonese. As in parents telling their kids they're really proud of them for their swimming achievement. Nope, there's no direct translation. You'll congratulate them or say that they were really good, but not "I'm proud of you, sweetie." YouTube tells me that the formal way of saying it would be this: It doesn't sound like something you'd tell a kid. And trust me, NO ONE uses this. I asked my dad and he said: You are right though, a lot of the older parents never praise their kids. My dad never praised me. I further commented that typically, parents would tell their kids that they were really good rather than being proud that they put in all the hard work. And that first generation (and sometimes even second gen) western children feel like they didn't really do that well at all. That that their immigrant parents were just "saying that." It lowers their confidence. I also mentioned how immigrant Asian parents love to compare children (e.g. "Jenny got an A+ in advanced calculus. Try harder next semester to improve from A to A+!") Dad's response? That's because most Asians came from highly competitive environment. Thousands of kids compete for a couple of hundreds of openings. If you are not A, then A- or B or C are all irrelevant. Praising isn't a thing. In fact, some believe it weakens children into not trying at all. My son's first nanny made that comment to me. She criticized how Canadians parent. She said she never praised her daughters (now in their 20s) and that it helped them work hard to get the entire family out of poverty (the nanny was a refugee of the Vietnam War). I wonder how the daughters are doing, mental health wise, to be quite honest.

I haven't been to the movies since before the pandemic!

Is it legit? Sounds a bit sketchy.

Referring to kids as "the spawn." Seriously? Oh, and older children as "Baby." I have a cousin who was called "Baby" into his 20s. He's 37 now. Last I heard, he was not in a relationship. Gee, I wonder why...

Does this involve a mattress?

They do oral reports too but my son is NOT a fan. In fact, he DREADS them. I have to FORCE him to practice in front of us (and it's always REALLY SCRIPTED)! He's getting SLIGHTLY better now that he knows he HAS to take part in a piano recital.

They can't fully get rid of art/music in Canada unless provinces alter the curriculum completely. I know that funding is cut some of it, especially at the elementary level. It's not really affecting private schools, however.
