    Cost of housing in Canada

    Seems to me most ( retired ) people I know love to travel. They like nothing better than to buy an airline or rail ticket to anywhere - as long as it is far away. For that reason alone, for some "empty nesters", selling their house and moving into a nice ( some come with amenities ) condo they...

    Pro/Anti Child Bearing Policies (split from "Canada don’t matter" thread)

    "Mansplaining"? We used to be able to write a letter to Dear Abby, asking for a woman's advice.

    A Deeply Fractured US
