I can't imagine an interview situation where the interviewee asks 'What are your strengths?' without being immediately dismissed.

As an aside, Jon Ronson's podcast 'The Butterfly Effect' presents the same issue with porn videos; before streaming sites and SEO producers were free to name their videos as they wished but now they need to name them so they appeal to multiple sub-genres and fetishes and that's why we get 'Step Daughter Cheerleader Orgy Volume 4' rather than some play on Edward Scissor Hands.

>> six-bedroom unit in downtown Montreal

Maybe it's selective bias but I think of all north American metropolises Montreal would be particularly difficult to implement hotels in residential areas. Renters here have very strong rights, albeit backed by an understaffed authority. Tourism provides a substantial bulk to the local economy but it's not nearly enough that the local population will accept having fly-by-night partiers in otherwise quiet neighbourhoods. The article says downtown but I strongly suspect they mean neighbourhoods adjacent to downtown which have long been home to local workers and students, key to providing vibrancy and life which attracts the tourists to begin with (and the festivals).

Rummage through some bins at goodwill for some FMV PC games from the early 90s and you'll be set!

Your argument is absurd, the first sentence gives it away 'empty properties'. Vancouver has no empty properties.

So people who simply want to live in a city near to where they work and their children go to school have to be subject to market corrections where a single massively financed pseudo-hotel can massively distort a major cost of living assignment? Ridiculous. This is where common-sense regulation is needed.

We disagree on the definition of dweller, cities require more than just vacation seekers to function. And the longer term renters aren't taking up those dwelling since it's more profitable for owners to rent out short term, but the reason that anyone wants to rent short term is because it's an interesting place to be, which it won't be if it's all people on vacation.

I'll call this the Ibiza Quandary.

>>Short term rentals do not diminish housing stock

If houses that would otherwise be rented or occupied are being used for short term rentals how can this be true?

>>The most important is that Vancity can deny the ability for commercial operators pretending to be residential operators and punish those that persist.

Watch now for a big increase in business licenses as those operators begin to do business under strawmen.

Great question, I'm also Canadian but have European citizenship, maybe I'll be able to use this to get information from my municipal government that I can't get as a Canadian.

I've had to deal with this at work (anticipatory only so far), but what I can't seem to figure out is what the inquiring European needs to provide to us to prove that the data we have is actually theirs. We don't capture pii data in most instances, so if someone requests their info under GDPR and provide us an IP and a time do we take them at their word?

The trains should only run on tracks that are completely enclosed (More control on the environment will realize better reliability, and as an aside nicer living space. Raised tracks are ugly.), Also they should run on rubber wheels like the Montreal metro has since 1966.

Both metros should have barrier between platforms and tracks since they know where the doors will open. It's sad but a non-negligible cause of delays are due to people jumping on the tracks.

I can see this being a real marketing thing for smoked salmon, makes me want to try it out in my smoker.
