4mon 12d ago in vancouver@lemmy.ca from dailyhive.comI would be good with that too!
I'm not sure what the return on investment from tourism is like, but I do look forward to the event in the summer. Even when I don't attend, there's a nice vibe to it all 😄

4mon 18d ago in vancouver@lemmy.ca from dailyhive.comI think it means that people will be able to watch the soccer matches for free on the big TVs in the stadium. Not really something that I'd want to do, but maybe some people will enjoy it.
Personally, I'd prefer to watch sports events at home or at smaller venues like local community centres

Canadian doctors say they’re losing 20 million hours a year to unnecessary paperwork
4mon 19d ago in canada@lemmy.ca from www.cbc.caHere is the report: https://digitallibrary.cma.ca/media/Digital_Library_PDF/2026%20Losing%20doctors%20to%20desk%20work%20EN.pdf
See "Appendix B: Provincial/territorial estimates of physician administrative burden and full-time equivalent gain" on page 37.

For BC specifically, there was this recent article:
Family doctors in B.C. are calling on the province to cut digital red tape, saying outdated systems and unnecessary paperwork are slowing patient care and increasing wait times.
It comes as a new national study shows doctors across the province are spending three million hours per year handling administrative work.
The latest report, released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian Medical Association, released as part of the Red Tape Awareness Week, found that doctors in B.C. spend nearly 10 hours a week on administrative work.
It estimates that eliminating unnecessary paperwork in B.C. could free up an equivalent of more than 1,400 full-time doctors.
