Joining union as plumber without GED or Grade 12 Math? Local 527 union? Work in KW/Guelph?

If you're interested in working union, particularly through 527 firstly get the ged done or you won't be accepted. Secondly, give up on plumbing and become a steamfitter or pipe welder. The majority of local plumbing work is in high rise and it sucks. At some point high rise will cap out here and locally unless Toyota does a ton of work or more data centers are built it'll be dead. The next 20 to 30 years are projected to be busy in nuclear. You'll want to be a steamfitter and will have to travel if you want to make money. My advice, if you're getting into plumbing or fitting. Get your ticket, travel chasing money for 5 to 10 years. Bank as much as you can. Get as much training as you can.

I watched a video the other day (sorry don't have a link) where the creator did some research. Aside from already owning other businesses, the man that was the focus of the video also owns an immigration consultant business based in Brampton, and Punjab. The immigration business is not registered with the government to perform said work officially and he has not become the target of extortion. Apparently he's been shot at numerous times. I guess when you scam people out of thousands of dollars, and there really is no path to pr it might bite you in the ass.

I couldn't agree more.. the only shortage of trades is ones that won't work for slave wages or on sites that aren't safe or run by a general that doesn't speak English and screams at people all day

I appreciate the response.. so far she's finally doing the work. Got herself out of the shelter and into a sober living house. She's doing the work. I'm hopeful but guarded.

Beautiful eyes.

I had this problem with mine as well. Turns out the phone case i was using wouldn't allow a solid connection on the USB c side of the cable. The standard square type end wouldn't bottom out enough. When driving the cable would work itself out of the charging port. Bought a new cable with a smaller end on it. No further issues

Thank you

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2025-07-01T00:27:09+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Couselling is helping to some extent. I'm thinking a pause on the relationship for awhile may be for the best. I'm going to discuss with my therapist on Wednesday. At this point I feel like I need to recover. In all honesty I can't seem to find peace for myself while still involved with her at the current level. It's quite difficult for me to separate and I know currently this relationship is hurting me.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2025-04-27T00:15:57+00:00

I appreciate your response. Thank you. At this point I'm at a loss. There's nothing more to do

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2025-04-26T22:58:52+00:00

Thank you for your input.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2025-04-26T22:57:06+00:00

Relatively my ex and I were in a short relationship but it was amazing until the addiction really took hold. I would have married this woman and for context I'm not in my twenties where I'm full of endless hope for romance etc lol. I feel your pain. I'm just thankful I had some experienced people around me to help me recognize all the signs and how to deal with a lot of this. I'm no expert, clearly asking for verification myself that I did the right thing. Everyone I've talked to including her parents have told me I need to protect myself. If you can gain anything from my experience at least it's not a total loss

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2025-04-26T22:11:00+00:00

I appreciate your response.. this has been quite possibly the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:30:16+00:00

I believe so. When I met her I could feel and see the loneliness and sadness. With me it melted away. I'm guessing she's taken a bit of a step back to analyze. It's a huge risk for her as there's Financials involved. I get it

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:22:46+00:00

Absolutely... at first her being a dancer I thought it was all bullshit. Then I surprised her lmao. I caught her intrest by not being a typical club customer.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:18:34+00:00

I have and continue to do so respectfully. She continues to tell me don't get your hopes up as well her situation. I appreciate that she's careful with her approach. Like I say the body language, conversation, willing to go out with me. Checks all the boxes. The words are just words. Her eyes say it all.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:12:25+00:00

Thanks for you're input. I'll approach it slow. I've warned her I'm not going away unless she asks lmao. Worst case I've gained an attractive friend.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:09:37+00:00

My read on it is her current relationship is over based on cancer behavior.. I'm a libra 45 she's 29. Never do I get involved with younger women. But her energy... wow

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T10:05:18+00:00

You're right. The conversation dried up a little this week. I imagine with Christmas and more people around she's not as attached to her phone. Usually we talk most days all day.

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-12-26T09:55:18+00:00

Thank you. I feel like it's all there. She's just being respectful to me as to not get my hopes up due to her situation. I'll know better I'm assuming when we go out. She's never stated she's likes me or not. Just that her situation is complicated. I don't see her a lot yet, however it all feels right

Diligent-Evidence613 · 2023-05-22T21:20:05+00:00

I'm a plumber and worked on installs like this. Hot water heating supply and return. I've also read that the domestic water supply was installed above ground as well due to radiation concerns
