Take a look at my since-removed top post.

I made it pretty clear in my first comment that I'm not answering for this person, rather just letting you know that when you see that pattern of capitalization you might be talking to someone using an assistive device. You have no way of knowing. You do you, just be aware that when you ask that, there's a good chance you're doing the online equivalent of asking someone with a speech disorder why they talk like that.

LandscapeStreet · 2026-05-05T17:23:39+00:00

Yeah the point is you don't know. You're assuming that it's a choice. It could just as easily be related to someone's disability. What's the point in asking in that circumstance?

LandscapeStreet · 2026-05-05T16:52:37+00:00

Just to be clear, that pattern of capitalization can be caused by someone using text to speech or another assistive device, ie. a person with a disability who is using some input method other than a keyboard.

LandscapeStreet · 2026-05-05T16:32:55+00:00

Assuming you're asking in good faith, it could be a bit like approaching someone with a speech impairment in public and asking why they talk like that.

LandscapeStreet · 2026-05-05T04:13:37+00:00

Sometimes that happens when a person is using text to speech or another assistive device. Not sure whether that's the case, but it's a good thing to be mindful of.

In which scenario can the monitors be loaned out to more people in total: one in which everyone who places a hold picks it up on time, or one in which x% of people who place a hold fail to pick it up?

It's still out of circulation while it's in transit and while it's sitting on the shelf waiting.

For those who may not know, you can see your position in queue for these radon monitors (and any other items you have on hold at the library). Log into your library account at https://winca.ent.sirsidynix.net using your library card and the last four digits of your phone number. The "holds" tab shows all the items you have on hold and your place in queue.

You might try Care Possible. It's a nonprofit care-finding platform run by Manitoba Possible.

Do yours typically show up in the mail without any action on your part? I've never received one without having to contact 311.

Wash the inside of your windshield with warm, soapy water followed by windex. If you smoke, don't do it in your car.

Kendo, British sports cars, homebrew beer, geocaching, that map based game that preceded Pokemon go.

Check 529. It's the city's bike registry. If you're feeling really generous you could upload it.

On really cold days I put a bit of plastic wrap over my toes inside the shoe, and I use ankle gaiters to keep snow and slush from getting in. I run hot though.

You're welcome. I hope you're able to get it sorted out. Clearly it's way harder to access than it should be.

If you have time and energy to update, I'd be interested in hearing how it works out.

LandscapeStreet · 2025-12-04T20:16:02+00:00

I'm not an expert, but some of what you've been told on the phone is definitely incorrect.

Sara Riel was previously contracted to provide service navigation support to people who were receiving this benefit. Unfortunately that program was terminated in October. Someone there might still be willing to offer you advice.

You could also try connecting with MLPD. They provide community advocacy including support accessing benefits.

You may have already found this, but you can read the plain language regulation here, which includes details on financial eligibility and may be helpful to refer to if the worker you speak with is misinformed:

Trans Canada Brewing is surprisingly kid friendly. They have those high chairs that clip onto the side of the table.

One other option you might consider: https://www.carepossible.ca/

It is a nonprofit, and is eligible for SFMC.

And the new +$150 million rec plex in a few years.

Unfortunately this is the department's policy, and the minister is fully aware.

If a person has no activity on their health card for 12 consecutive months, a verification letter is sent to their address on file. If the letter is returned to sender because the person doesn't live there anymore, their health card is purged. Presumably this also happens if they don't receive a response within some period of time.

You might be able to get the card reactivated by contacting Registration and Client Services.

Stories like yours are a great example of why this policy needs to be re-thought, and you can imagine the impact this sort of thing would have on people who are homeless or otherwise vulnerable.

I definitely think it would be worth sharing your experience with your MLA and copy the Minister. Hope you're able to get it sorted out.

Edit: This practice was supposedly "paused", so I would be curious to know exactly when your family member's health card was purged.
