Even Trudeau, in a last ditch attempt to get re-elected admitted in a little fireside chat video on YouTube that he went too far with immigration levels. With my apologies to @urquell for having strayed so far off topic.

Well... slowing down the influx did make the average rents go down! particularly in BC and Ontario. "Immigration policy has had a strong impact on Canada’s rental market." -Royal Bank of Canada...

What happened to all these "gluten intolerant" people from 5 to 10 years ago? Are they still buying gluten free or was it just another pointless dietary trend?

Which was poetically known as "exotic dancer". Not erotic. Exotic! The program expired in 2012, actually. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/exotic-dancer-no-longer-eligible-job-for-foreign-workers-1.1151414 Edit: one of the definitions of exotic is "3. Of or involving striptease". Oh well!

I'll tell you one real way the industry has changed over the past 15 (ish) years: There was a time when you would hear a complaint that "all agency girls looked the same". If you look at agency websites nowadays, no one with a good set of eye could make the same observation. There is a lot of...

It's a general feeling that "things are not what they used to be". Granted that humans have expressed this thought since basically forever, there do seem to be some tangible underlying factors that explain our perceived changes in the industry. The causes are diffuse and hard to pinpoint with...

It's been discussed before here. (I don't want to bring rates into the discussion). The landscape was altered after the pandemic. OnlyFans may or may not be a factor (most likely not in 2026). Young adults are staying longer with their parents. Smartphone/social media addiction is having a...

It's a thing! And I can only imagine how unsatisfying a meal this would be!

An excellent reason to not do it

We pay for a pocket of time that includes both sex and conversation. To quote Marco Pierre White: it's that simple!

You should reformulate this, because you cannot be "dumb" and "technically smart" at the same time. I'm interested in the distinct sub-categories that you mix up here.

With respect to client math, it is much simpler: #joke

They must be active in some areas more than others. In my neighbourhood, I've seen them a couple of times check stop signs around a park where kids play, which is exactly what we'd want them to do. Several drivers were caught.

That's funny! To elaborate on my poetic rant that you are referring to: I don't dislike cars, although I used to like them more when they were simple machines and not computers on wheels; what I dislike is all the vanity–and if I wanted to be mean, vacuity–that surrounds the F1 event.

How could I forget speed limits? By the way, has anyone ever seen an SPVM cop with a radar in hand, except maybe around schools at the beginning of the school year?
