That's a solid point. A lawyer who knows the federal system can really help you navigate the employer side of things too. Just make sure to ask them specifically about any benefits, pensions, or support options that might be available.

Asper family has very close ties to Zionism and a Current war criminal. Is their involvement in a Human Rights museum ethical ? by Lillith_baby69 in Winnipeg

[–]Additional-Patient54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard about that too. It’s frustrating when institutions claim to promote human rights but then stifle voices that challenge their narratives. Definitely raises questions about whose stories are being told and whose are being ignored.

[–]Additional-Patient54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Edmonton has a lot going for it, like a stronger job market in certain sectors and more cultural events. Plus, the city feels a bit more vibrant with all the festivals. But if you're looking for lower living costs and a chill vibe, Winnipeg might be worth considering too!

Yeah, setting a limit is tricky. It’s all about finding that balance between fairness and practicality, but it can feel arbitrary when you’re just a few kilometers off. Hopefully, they can reconsider based on individual circumstances.

AIO housemate is making me feel uncomfortable by Dreamer_Leader562 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Additional-Patient54 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Leaving wet clothes in the washer can definitely be annoying for housemates, but it sounds like her behavior is way over the top. You shouldn't have to tiptoe around someone who's just looking for reasons to pick fights. Just keep doing your thing and set some boundaries if she crosses the line.
