I think in that scenario you would be covered? I seem to recall emergency hospital visits are covered for Ontario residents travelling abroad and also students in temporary residence.

That said, coverage for more mundane problems is generally lacking, and Canadians who travel a lot will typically have some supplemental coverage to fill the gaps. I’m in a group plan at work, for example. I think I pay around $70/mo?

Had to look up what ambulances cost where I live in Ontario, Canada. Looks like it’s $45 if the trip is deemed to have been medically necessary by hospital physicians and you have a valid health card. Otherwise it’s $240. There are certain exemptions for the $45 as well. Like when my daughter had to be transferred to a different hospital, I don’t remember being charged for that ambulance ride?

When I despair about how Ukraine can ever rebuild after this war, my mind keeps circling back to their expertise at blowing up data centres. This could prove a highly marketable skill!

I have a friend who’s so obsessed with the new Ocarina of Time she took the day off.

Oh that’s right!

And sea shanties? I seem to remember they were in for a short while. Damn, 5 years ago really rocked!

I’m gen-x and trying to think of what was cool 5 years ago. 2021. So middle of the pandemic. I guess wearing funky masks, working from home, socially isolating? Aw shit, I miss those things too.

I think Hawaiian pizza is one of those foods I’ve always hated because I had poor experiences with it growing up. Sort of like shepherd’s pie, which I only knew of through the abomination served at the high school caf.

But recently, I tried it at a new pizzeria that opened near me. They honestly used real ham like you would get at an Easter banquet. Not the processed sandwich meat. And that was actually really good with pineapple!

Well, from what I’ve read, it’s a job that involves a lot of unexpected complications that has resisted automation. In fairness though, I’m not sure how much machine learning in its present form would help?

The other day I learned about fatbergs and the people tasked with climbing down into sewers with shovels to remove them. Can’t this be a job for AI? Please?
