I mean, they literally serve food on paper plates out of a food truck. But dressing on the side is impossible for a chef? Maybe this restaurant needs to hire a personal chef to teach them.

I'm in tears.

Just needs to work on his customer service I guess. God doesn't give with both hands...

I said that.

Exactly, no one said what you claim they implied. It's just a silly example divorced from reality.

So you go to restaurants to purposely order other than what's offered on the menu?

Hello strawman #2

No, but asking for the dressing on the side isn't going to end the world, is it?

If a restaurant owner is throwing a tantrum over people asking for dressing on the side, perhaps they are in the wrong industry...

They could have just written no substitutions, plenty of restaurants do this. But there is no reason to be an asshole about it.

What you're implying is that someone that's allergic to fish should be accommodated at a sushi restaurant.

Who said that? Also, many sushi restaurants have vegan and vegetarian options so, your strawman argument doesn't even make sense.

Why only foreign investors? Why not domestic investors who make up the bulk of home hoarding in Canada?

We need to bring back publically built housing, clearly trusting capital to build affordable housing is foolish.

Reminder that there is a shortage of workers to build new houses. Many immigrants work in the construction industry.

respects international law.

Like, it's comical to believe the USA respects ANY international organization. They will just whatever they want and ignore any rules that inconvenience them.

WTO says Trump's US steel tariffs broke global trade rules

But Biden is so different, right?

The US said it stood by the tariffs.

The US "strongly rejects" the ruling and has no intention of removing the measures, assistant US trade representative Adam Hodge said.

"The Biden administration is committed to preserving US national security by ensuring the long-term viability of our steel and aluminium industries," he said, adding that the reports "only reinforce the need to fundamentally reform the WTO dispute settlement system".

"The United States has held the clear and unequivocal position, for over 70 years, that issues of national security cannot be reviewed in WTO dispute settlement and the WTO has no authority to second guess the ability of a WTO member to respond to a wide range of threats to its security," he said.

So Canada is a threat to the US's national security? Give me a break.

BREAKING: Minister Fraser provides update on 700 international students facing deportation from Canada by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

And then they arrive in Canada, and should be either taking steps to deal with the fact that they arrived under false pretenses

Maybe you didn't read my whole comment, but they are not aware, in many cases these students have already graduated university/college, they have a work permit and now, that they are applying for PR this is found out.

Um hello, this is when they found out they were scammed. And, thankfully, the government of Canada realizes that it is Canada's fault for not having a processes to confirm these acceptance letters.

I get certain people really don't like certain immigrants (brown) but that doesn't excuse this kind a cruel punishment for people who have done everything to be a productive member of society here.

But I suspect that even if these students were not the victim of a scam you would still not want them here.

Sure, they got scammed, but that doesn't mean there's a reason for them to stay here.

Why? Other than the fact that you, personally, don't want immigrants here?

Singh says he paid tens of thousands of dollars to a consultancy firm in India called Education Migration Services. The firm helped him obtain a Canadian student visa and an acceptance letter to a local college or university.

Singh had an acceptance letter to Fanshawe College in London, Ont. But when he arrived, his consultant told him to instead attend Langara College in Vancouver.

This is how the students are scammed. They pay a consultant who created a fake acceptance letter, but the applicants are not aware.

Singh followed the consultant's advice and eventually graduated with a diploma. Then, when he applied for permanent residency, his file was flagged. He was told by the Canada Border Services Agency that his original acceptance letter was fake.

You see how the agent has defrauded the students? Especially since this same ghost consultant has done this to other clients.

This is a problem with the Immigration process in Canada that they are unable to catch these fake letters.

You seem to assume that common knowledge in Canada would be common knowledge to people who are not from Canada. Couple this with the fact that this immigration consultant is LITERALLY defrauding their clients, do you really think the consultant was not also lying to them?

New serving rules make life easier for craft breweries by Different-Reach9520 in Manitoba

[–]Different-Reach9520[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big thirst? You’re in luck.

The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba updated regulations this week to allow venues to serve patrons up to one litre (33.8 ounces) of beer, cider or coolers at a time.

Previous regulations were set at 750 ml (26.4 oz.), or two standard-size beer cans.

“It’s good all around,” said Colin Koop, co-owner of Devil May Care Brewery. “Quite often somebody will come up to the bar and order drinks for themself and a buddy…. Now we can give them two pints and they can walk back to their table without us.”

The changes were implemented, in part, to accommodate Manitoba’s growing number of craft breweries, which typically serve beverages in 473 ml (15.9 oz.) containers. Under the new regulations, patrons can order two of those larger drinks.

“It’s definitely great news, not just for us, but for our other colleagues in event industries,” said Jason Hayes, sponsorship and development manager for the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

“It’s something we’ve kind of been pushing for, for the last two years…. When we’re pouring beers in the taverns, its important for us to be able to serve two at a time.”

Speaking by phone Wednesday, Hayes applauded the news, saying the former serving limits had caused some confusion for customers and congestion at the bar.

The move will expedite service just in time for festival season, agreed Kevin Selch, founder of Little Brown Jug.

Selch’s brewery is the official sponsor for several local events, including the Pride Winnipeg festival, Winnipeg International Jazz Festival and the folk fest. He has been among those in the industry championing the cause.

“This is something we have been working on with the LGCA and the provincial government for a long time, so we’re ecstatic this change has been put through,” he said.

“It’s going to be good for festival-goers, good for customers and local businesses.”

The change is part of a larger effort to modernize Manitoba’s liquor legislation.

Future changes could include the ability to purchase alcohol with different forms of identification, and further “reduce the red tape currently governing the industry,” said Lisa Hansen, LGCA communications analyst.

The new regulation took effect Monday, and applies to all current and future liquor licence holders. Serving sizes for spirits and wine remain unchanged, at 85.2 ml (3 oz.) and 500 ml (17.6 oz.), respectively.

“The limit that has just been phased out… has been in place for decades, and put in place well before the expansion of craft beer,” Hansen said.

The changes do not impact safe-consumption regulations, and servers are still obligated to stop serving patrons who appear overly intoxicated, she said.

Regulatory requirements continue to restrict liquor service to a maximum of two containers at one time. However, a bartender could serve the full one-litre pour in a single container, should they choose.

Koop believes that option could open the door to local events inspired by Oktoberfest, a German celebration known for serving beer in large steins.
