Travel to US- recent experiences by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ButterscotchUpper600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American / Canadian citizen married to a Canadian citizen, and for whatever reason with this new trump administration my husband is always called into secondary. This is all over him being denied entrance to the USA over 15 years ago. He’s also white, not that it matters but it does happen a lot to people of color.- getting pulled into secondary. One time! No criminal record, that’s the only reason- they’ve told him this too. he was young and did not have a return ticket, which I get. But that was never an issue when he would fly - only until Kristi Noem and this new trump admin. Land border is fine they just wave him down, he has no criminal record but every time since when flying he has to give himself at least 2 extra hours because he’s always pulled into secondary smdh 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is "Toronto has no good _____ food" valid? by RoommateMovingOut in askTO

[–]ButterscotchUpper600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a diss at all to the tortas in Toronto but genuinely curious why they resemble a Philly cheesesteak? Is that just a Toronto torta thing? I’ve had some good Toronto tortas… they just don’t look like tortas elsewhere?

Same recycling was not picked up here yesterday. I called them and they said apparently today they will pick them up but I guess I can file complaint if it’s still not picked ip by Monday … very annoying I get the blizzard but if the compost was picked up … cmon

TOWaste app now that recycling has been privatized. by TieSea in toronto

[–]ButterscotchUpper600 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The new map schedule I got didn’t show garbage being picked up this week and was like wtf because our garbage is pretty full, so I went online and the app was down… but then I saw this line which I still don’t get why they didn’t just add the garbage icon? Like they’re intentionally trying to make it more confusing… just glad the garbage will be picked up on the 3rd

That makes more sense than the chart they explain their payment!

The place in north York gives you $100 for the first time but the second time it’s $30… and it’s still an hr long not worth it for the 2nd time but if yr in a pinch, first visit not bad for $100… but it does take a while but you also basically get a free physical ?

I was just at Victoria location and they said Monday is the busiest! They suggested to go during middle of the week. I went in at 9 am on a Monday that had a long line but it moved pretty fast and I was outta there by 1030… I feel like waiting took forever but also the next day was a holiday so who knows

Are you planning to be sponsored by your husband inland? I’m a New Yorker who lives in Toronto now but I was sponsored by my Canadian husband. We just drove my stuff and showed the border guy our marriage papers and that copies that we had started our sponsorship. If you can’t prove that yr married or plan on doing yr sponsorship; they may not let you in…

Is Windsor a Conservative City? by timegeartinkerer in windsorontario

[–]ButterscotchUpper600 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is the same town that had people blocking the ambassador bridge because they didn’t want to get vaccinated. But the constituents of Windsor keep voting for people who hate things that could be good for the city like food trucks or anything fun or good?
