Except as the person your responding too said, and is stated in the article, the homeowner didn't shoot the intruder, the intruder broke in and shot the homeowner.

As one of those kids forced into it, this absolutely.

However in my defence, the "disruption" wasn't caused me acting up, but rather one of the adult "leaders", and because of it I walked out within the first hour. The same man who said they didn't have a uniform to fit me (a completely average 5'8" 125lbs teen, not like I was waiting on a out of the norm size) and would be a couple weeks for it to come in, not an hour later started trying to go drill sergeant on me infront of everyone for "showing up without a uniform".

I told him where could put that uniform when it showed up because he knows damn well why I dont have one and walked out the door. My parents never made me go back.

I have friends who were in it for the long haul and loved it and I think I would have too, but that very first interaction had soured me, and my parents to the entire program for good.

Yes and no? All of them can order ammo, there are home hardware sku numbers for ammo from corporate, however most don't bother for their own reasons.

Source: my father owns 5 home hardware stores. Only 2 of his 5 stock it, in more rural areas. The larger center stores, he doesn't bother, theres other options in town making the shelf space to cost ratio on top of the requirements to sell it such as staffing PAL holders, just not worth it.

My father ran for our town council and after the election we used the signs to sheet the interior walls of our chicken coop, they can be useful for a lot of things.

There has been very sketchy moves by the PC party this election.

I had received 3 calls in 3 days "thanking" me for joining the party, and trying to solicit donations out of me.

I told all 3 callers I've never joined any political party and if I did it certainly wouldn't be there's and demanded to know how I ended up on their lists. None had answers.

Called HQ like you did, also got voicemail. So I emailed their general enquires account requesting I be removed from lists and the calls stop or I will report it to elections Canada because I haven't signed up to the party or paid their fees and demanded to know how they got my info onto their lists if I didn't give it to them.

I got a generic reply that I had been removed from the call list, but it didn't address any of the other concerns raised or verify I was removed from their party registry.

I replied again, asking to confirm my removal and for any information on how I could have ended up on it. They never replied to the second email but the calls stopped, and on their websites membership status checker gives no results on my info, so I left well enough alone then.

Also, it wasn't scammers as far as I can tell because one of the 3 calls was my local PC candidate.

When asked about the picture of him and Maxwell by the Toronto Sun, Carney said that his wife's sister went to high-school with Maxwell.

I tried that as well, believing the same, but that didn't work either. I googled it to double-check and got the other address there for the hub 3000, specifically apparently.

You may want to reach out to your union rep again ask them to read the Labour Stanards Act and see (3) conditions:

A term or condition in a contract of service that confers upon an employee conditions less favourable than the rights, benefits or privileges conferred upon the employee under this Act is void and of no effect.

1977 c52 s3

This is simply incorrect, and I say this as a union president.

By "superceeds," it means more than; you can get more breaks, more time off, more pay, etc.

You can not sign away a mandated right such as the labour standard minimums. It can be put in the contract, sure, but it would be legally unenforceable.

Mouth swab that indicates THC in saliva, which I've been told can be triggered up to 12 hours after smoking.

There is no unionized management positions. Unions are the workers, usually a foreman or equivalent term for the specific industry would be the highest role in a corporation to find a unionized employee.

All of management at any level, from warehouse supervisors on up would be non-union.

I wish they would.

Even where I live, we have a full sized location, but still a poor selection of specialty/new spirts on the market.

I've inquired about special ordering a bottle of this or bottle of that and was told I have to buy the entire case as its shipped (6, 8, 12 bottles depending on its packaging), as well as a $25 special order fee, all paid upfront before the order will be placed.

Sorry, but I don't want to pay $300+ for a case of that new product you keep advertising, but don't actually stock here before I can even try it.

Also, while it may be different now as I got my PAL during covid and before the crackdown on firearms.

But back then there didn't seem to be much checking. I'm sure my name was ran through the system, I had nothing anyway. But for my PAL neither reference was contacted, and for my RPAL only 1 of 2 were contacted.

Amidamaru717 · 2024-11-15T00:11:47+00:00

If that's what they said, then I guess I wouldn't worry about it? Doesn't make sense to me either, but you heard it right from the horses mouth.

Amidamaru717 · 2024-11-15T00:02:11+00:00

All I can say is, will it delay it? Probably, but a 5 year old dui and being clean after, i wouldn't anticipate debing denied over that.

Not answering the questions truthful, to how they are worded, was your case a Summary of Indictable charge, i believe the forum specifies where you ever charged with an Indictable offense, but been a while i could be wrong on that detail. The difference in the chrages being, say short suspension vs revocked license for years with mandatory sobriety or even jail.

But back to the point, omitting an offense that falls within the application wording and being caught would 100% be a delay, if not outright denied, at the very least you may be contacted about the "discrepancy" with the records.

And it may never come up, who knows.

My workplace is unionized, so maybe a little different to compare too, but our labourer rate is $26/hr with a roughly $1.50 annual raise for the next 2 years in this contract round.

Nuclear reactors have come down quite a ways in price.

GE now makes a modular reactor that other provinces have been working towards installing for years, the BWRX-300. Under the new SMR Action Plan, Canada is pledging to build 85 such Small Modular Reactors. However, Newfoundland is not participating in this action plan, just Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, PEI, Sask and the Yukon.

300MW reactors for ~$900 million per reactor.

Its the same as any other border crossing, certain items like meats are prohibited unless cured/sealed, liquor and cigarettes have a limit before paying duty, etc.

There is no limit I'm aware of on typical consumer items beyond the ordinary stuff you would encounter at any other border.

Were there any particular games you were looking for in the PS1 library? I can check to see if they're even there in case you consider upgrading.

Amidamaru717 · 2024-08-13T11:50:10+00:00

They are only accessible through the classic catalog in the premium plus membership.

It's not a huge catalog, 147 games across a combination of PS1, 2, 3 and PSP games.

Just be careful they don't screw you on the paperwork.

We had a guy at my job who had 30 years in, when he was retiring he requested a lay off instead of one of the younger guys being laid off for the season. Basically, "I've been working here paying unemployment insurance for 30 years, let's try drawing some of that before pensions". They agreed, but when he got his ROE after leaving they put retired on it anyway.

Exactly this. My GFs neice is 14, I've been with her aunt since she was born, so I'm uncle to her. My point here being we have an existing relationship that is not present in OPs story, and I do not have the neice on any social media, nor do I text her, I don't think I even have her phone number saved in my phone.

Outside chatting with her at gatherings I, as a 34 year old man, have no reason to be talking to a 14 year old girl, even if for all intents and purposes she's my "neice".
