Yah that’s my wife. I’m fine eating garbage food but she can’t stand that cheap shit. So it’s always some restaurant that she can handle (cheap food gives her ibs)

This topic has come up often recently around friends. | once i take what me and my partner spend on food and split in half, grocery wise i would say about $300 for just myself. so my meals are really never more than $5 a portion. we eat a lot of rice and sometimes noodles, so you add some veg and tofu to that and i don't see how you could get over $5 a portion if you tried. so in a day i might eat $10 worth of groceries. like i mentioned before here we don't eat meat, so that helps. if you're eating a few chicken breasts a day then i can see how you could hit $20. 90% of the time we're cooking one pot or one pan meals like stir fries, curries, stews, pastas, etc...

What the fuck are you eating at that price? It's not meat or vegetables. An egg is basically $1.

2.99/dozen eggs at shoppers when there's a deal = 25 cents
1 large slice of sourdough bread = 35 cents
half an avocado = 50 cents
okay it's slightly more than a dollar, but only slightly. I don't buy anything that's not on sale either.

Lunch:
Option 1: Costco Romaine Lettuce + Chicken = $3.60 ($6.99 for 6 = $1.165/unit + pre-made chicken breast (21.99 for 10pk = $2.20/pack + 10c dressing)
Option 2: Costco Chicken Fried Rice = $3.50 ($21 for 6 = $3.50/meal)
Option 3: Kisha Poppo Lunch Combo = $10.32 (6pc cali roll + 6pc negitoro roll)
Option 4: Burger King Survey Combo = $4.75 (Whopper + small fries + small drink)
Dinner:
Assorted meals, mostly noodles, salad, or rice with some protein + veggies (bok choy / broccoli). Works out to about $5-8 per meal.
There will be a random day in the month where I eat an entire Costco nigiri tray for dinner, but that cost gets absorbed by other days where I don't spend $15 / day on food.

It's Thanksgiving weekend, I don't have time to type you guys a response since I'm out with the kids and preparing for dinner.
Just so you guys know, I'm not stressed (mostly) about the finances. I know where we are spending money that can be cut, but we don't want to. As outlined I know where we can cut something like 16-17k a year. But that is nothing in the grand scheme of a 7 fig mortgage.
I can cut even more if we don't contribute to retirement as much, but why would we when we can get our money to work for us, and gain more?

1) Throw kids up for adoption.
2) get rid of shanghainese wife. Replace with Guangdong wife
3) immediately buy fast beetle
4) create more children for adoption due to having fast beetle and new Guangdong wife.
Rinse and repeat as needed to achieve financial stability

Fucking hell.. | Wouldn't it be prudent to have certain elements of CSIS and the RCMP investigate their funding and various tendrils and coconspirators/actors before taking public action that shuts down those avenues and opportunities of investigative information and intelligence gathering?
Just saying, you can't "assume" nobody is doing anything because you don't see a headline saying it.

Give it a few months and we can review what happened, it will be nothing.
Honestly a violet crime/terrorist attack feels more likely than holding these people accountable.

Well, I mean that is exactly the right wing playbook.
1. Make claim about government
2. Claim refuted / cautioned?
3. Make claim of the worst possible repercussion that will result from claim about government and then say "We'll see what happens" with both forefingers under chin/narrowed eyes and never actually circle back to it later... or if it is circled back to, say you're "Glad it worked out for the better.... -this time-"
Yawn.

How do you know it isn't? You're just making assumptions and nothing more.
You don't know what level of internal work is being done or how these people are tagged or what level of surveillance or active infiltration the group members or group themselves are under.
I know when I worked for involved agencies, even for pipeline protests groups were infiltrated both on facebook and in person and full case files were built up of organizers and active participants or people who travelled up from the US who were known insurrectionists who commonly go around to protests to amp up behaviour.
I know it sucks not to know stuff.. Think how much you know about your organization that the general public doesn't / makes assumptions about.
You want to see that grand statement "THIS GROUP IS NOW A TERRORIST GROUP" in the house of commons but does that actually matter all that much toward your goal of safety?

So they had no grounds to charge last year, and now they have labelled them as a terrorist group yesterday, so what can they do? Use their Time Machine to charge them with terrorism before that intel and evidence was available based on the new decision?
