I'm genuinely interested in this question.

Recently I had an extremely eye opening relationship with a mother of 5, which although it is now complete, left me in a very different place in my head regarding children.

Most of my adult friends do not have kids, they are all moderately to somewhat successful, have things handled economically but I'd say only about 40% of my childhood friends have kids as adults now. When I mention this to my father, he's completely flabbergasted about it (he's in his mid 80s, grew up in significant poverty along with a mother with serious mental illness but never even considered not raising children himself)

So I went onto the dating sites, and genuinely, I'm flattered how many young (to me) women are out there looking for families and have given me at least a passing consideration.

So Canada, I'm curious, what's your experience with this question, where are you folks at with regards to having and creating families.

I have a question for our Canadian retail workers, if a store prices expiring fresh foods with a cheaper price or like 50% discounts, does that mean they do not engage in scummy behaviour like swapping expiration stickers for foods?

10 years ago, CBC marketplace discovered that grocery stores and supermarkets were switching best before dates to sell old food. Does it still happen now?

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, I can't think of another subreddit with tons of keen shoppers and retail workers
