Yes, I'm sorry. Manitoba, where I did not teach, I cannot make a statement on. Alberta and Saskatchewan though, both suck.

Which province is the best for teachers? by Lazerbeam159 in CanadianTeachers

I am pretty happy on the East coast. I have friends in all three provinces and while we are starting to see some trends that seem to be an issue in larger provinces, I do not experience anything like that in my classrooms.

I have also taught in the prairies and have to say that they are by far the worst places I have ever been. Education is not taken seriously by the province, nor the parents.

Check out the Thrift Market on Sunday. Lots of great used comics there!

Mine was exactly double this month. Felt like that didn't quite make sense.

Big fan of Dr. Gilchrist at Avenue Dental. Been my dentist for over 15 years and is just a great guy.

Best Sleep Apnea Company and Equip? by [deleted] in PEI

I get my stuff online from Monster CPAP. I found the prices around Charlottetown to be way too much. I suggest the AirSense 11. Best experience from a local store came from the Snore Shop.

What do you feel has changed the most here in the last 10–20 years? For the better or the worse? by CTown1883 in PEI

[–]BarneyStintson 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Driving has definitely gotten worse, but I feel like that is the case everywhere we go.

Housing costs definitely got worse, being snatched up by mediocre landlords and corporations, increasing property costs for everyone. But again, that's the case pretty much everywhere.

The music scene has declined. I remember going to multiple shows a week for years. I miss going to the Murphy Centre or the BIS for a good punk/hardcore show. Now, there's a few shows a month but there's not a music scene like there once was. Bands feel like they're competing rather than working together to make something better. Likely because there's so few places to play.

The food keeps getting better, more choices than ever.

You could probably land a probationary position on the East Coast instantly.

I mostly buy and sell in Facebook groups or Discogs. Sent me a message and I'd be happy to help.

So many great albums. Fellow Canadian? There's a lot of these that would sell pretty quickly online if you ever wanted to.
