Better to just revoke their citizenship and deport them. Make the X Canadians into ex-Canadians.
Not really, but it is a bit stressful. I figure in the end either the markets will act like they always do and go up in the longer term, or the entire world is about to end in which case it won't really matter what investment choices I make!
It's 10% off a single shop each month, up to $50 discount. Plus you get double FlyBuys points.
I think whether or not it is worth it depends on your shopping habits - if you shop a little bit every day you won't get as much as if you consolidate all of your shopping into one trip a month. I don't buy a lot from Coles at the moment, generally around $100 a month, which I consolidate into one trip so I save a few dollars over the cost of the subscription. It would be more beneficial for a family, who would be easily able to get that $50 maximum if they organise right.

I've converted my front yard to be mostly edible plants, I think they are often underrated in how ornamental they can be.
University of Tasmania currently have a Certificate and Diploma in Sustainable Living available with a HECS waiver - meaning that if you are eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place you can enroll and they will waive the student contribution. The courses are fully online with no fixed times you need to be available, so are quite flexible to fit around other commitments.
Many of the courses are practical and the assignements relate you your own situation and local area. I am just finishing the Science of Gardening subjects, which has deepened my understanding of how plants grow and the interactions between different organisms in the garden. The assignments have included things like assessing the soil in my garden, and the final assignment is pulling together everything to create a comprehensive design plan for my own garden.
There are also subjects on sustainable housing and biodiversity, if you are interested in doing some study I highly recommend looking into this.
My zucchini produced a beautifully matched set of flowers yesterday morning.
The one on the left is female, the one on the right is male - you can tell the difference as the male has only a single stamen in the centre. You can also tell the difference if you look behind the flowers, the female has a tiny zucchini attaching it to the plant, the male has a normal stem.
If your baby zucchini are withering on the vine rather than growing you need to hand pollinate them. You can either pull off the male flower, remove the stamen and brush it onto the centre of the female flower or use a brush to transfer the pollen (the flowers wither soon anyway, so I just remove the flower).

I would like a place I can talk about the random happenings in my garden that don't justify a stand alone post. Exciting things like my tomato plant finally growing, or the sadness that my snow peas seem to be dying off prematurely.
Would anyone else like to share their gardening snippits? If there is enough interest I can set up a regularly weekly thread (@[email protected] I presume that will be ok?)
Pic is just for interest - this is the collection of gardening pictures I put together to illustrate my garden design goals for a recent assignment.
Taken 20 years ago in the remote Queensland town of Chillagoe. Known for limestone caves, Aboriginal art, nesting sites for the white-rumped swiftlet, and as the final resting place of my Volvo, which never made it home.
