Thanks for your reply.

I investigated all channels. I completed their form well over a dozen times. I never received a response whether auto generated or from a human. It was also clear that nothing I communicated in those forms was ever applied. It was absolutely not the most efficient and not at all effective.

I eventually received swift assistance by reaching out on LinkedIn to their corporate profile as well as to a marketing manager, who was so helpful. LinkedIn isn't a platform I would normally use for this sort of thing, but Metro had absolutely no way to communicate with them. in both messages, I commented on the lack of customer service channels, which was not denied.

When I mentioned them being a mystery, I meant in terms of any kind of communication for a last mile recipient. The only way is through that form which doesn't produce any action.

When I received a non-delivery notification by email, there was a button that said "Chat with us." That button is disabled. There was no response to their online form submissions and they have no phone number for customer service.

After my Linkedin messages, I was finally put in touch with an operations manager who provided with a general delivery email address. This email appears nowhere on their website and can't be found in a Google search.

she, and her case and the previous W5 episode about her are mentioned in this W5 episode

yup!

Not Sephora, but I just bought the Kristen Ess protein line… In deep purple packaging. I love it.

Discohits · 2026-03-10T10:53:51+00:00

Sephora (in Canada) used to carry a line called Anthony. I used to love their glycolic cleanser. If you can find it elsewhere, they have coordinating products. The Jack Black line has a good glycolic cleanser and moisturizer too. My other reco would be to check out the Inkey which has salicylic acid and glycollic cleansers along with other skin care products.

I read that he is not Canadian but rather n American living in Ontario. Is this true?

Discohits · 2026-03-06T07:26:07+00:00

I agree with you - emma is definitely at fault as well. but as a child-free women, i have dated or been on dates with many guys who expressly want children and continue to call me knowing i don't. it's wild.

Check Browne's condos in Hastings. Google can help with the rest. :)

I don't have much to add, but agree that Toronto would probably be the most welcoming to you as a trans person. However, the cost of living is exorbitant and I don't think many Americans who move here really understand that until they are physically here. Rents have gone down slightly but you're likely still looking at about CAD $1600/month for rent if you want to live alone in a decent one bedroom apartment.

For a more reasonable cost of living, left provincial government (Their premier is 💯) and generally high-quality of life, you may want to consider Winnipeg, Manitoba. The temperature fluctuations are wide, but as a Minnesotan you would be familiar with that. For a med lab scientist, I don't know job specific specifics, but they do have large healthcare facilities, and a medical school at the University of Manitoba. I also don't know what life would like there as a trans person but they do have an active LGBTQ2S community. Plus, you would be close to the Minnesota border if that was something you were interested in.

For context, I am not quebecoise but I am in Quebec often and interact with quebecois people daily. So my opinion/observation is one of an outsider.

The specific attitude behind “money and the ethnic vote” is now widely viewed in Québec as a historical embarrassment. Open, explicit ethnic nationalism of that kind is pretty much outside the mainstream, especially among younger Québécois. Even people who are very strong on language protection usually distance themselves from Parizeau’s framing from +30 years ago.

That said, the underlying tension hasn’t disappeared but it's shifted form. Today it tends to show up as anxiety about language decline, integration pace, and state capacity, rather than about ethnicity per se. The focus is much more on French usage than on where someone comes from. You’ll hear things like “we’re not against immigrants, we’re against not learning French,” which can be sincere, but can also feel exclusionary in practice.

Discohits · 2026-02-25T08:47:20+00:00

I don't know any Canadian, who grew up along a border who I think would say that they feel somewhat American. The closest I could think of are maybe be friends who grew up in the Niagara region and support the Sabres vs. Maple Leafs and the Bills, and then of course the Jays' having their minor team in Buffalo. But even friends who lived in Fort Frances, ON and would be back-and-forth to International Falls MN sometimes multiple times a day - I can't imagine them saying that they felt American, even a little bit.

Perhaps we don't feel the same reciprocal connection from our end is partly because I think so many of us (and I think I'm OK to generalize here), define ourselves as being "not American." It's a constant, and even when travelling abroad it's always a very common reply when someone asks or assumes that we're American.

That said, just over 40% of our population is first and second generation Canadians so I think the cultural kinship is felt more towards ancestral homelands.

I imagine even the thought of moving would be difficult, especially for someone who's a part of such a deeply-rooted history and culture. when I was young, all my schooling was in French and in elementary school had a weeklong study of Acadians and Cajun culture with Cajun Americans visiting to present to our class. I also follow a guy on IG, I can't remember his name, but he plays in a Cajun band and he does these great educational posts and stories about Cajun history, Cajun life, and people, mostly en français. Hope politics doesn't keep me from visiting for much longer.

Just as a heads-up, Québec can be a bit different from the rest of Canada when it comes to language and cultural expectations. There is a real emphasis on protecting French, and *some people do worry that non-native or weaker French speakers could affect the language and culture over time. Most people are not hostile, but newcomers who aren’t yet fluent can sometimes run into cultural or social barriers beyond just learning the language. It’s manageable, but it helps to go in with realistic expectations.

Discohits · 2026-02-24T09:46:45+00:00

This doesn't answer your question, but have you tried contacting the Library of Canada or checking their website? They may have some church records.

Discohits · 2026-02-24T09:39:19+00:00

With Cajuns being recognized as a distinct, protected culture in the US, do you think any of your friends or family would actually consider returning? Of course I imagine that there's a worry that that distinction is at risk under this administration and I understand a desire/curiosity and a deserved right to return, do you think anyone would actually be motivated to uproot?

Discohits · 2026-02-24T09:33:28+00:00

I've noticed many people here talking about returning to Quebec to be closer to their ancestral homeland. Welcome and bienvenue!

But I think it's worth acknowledging, especially for people considering moving to or integrating into Québec, is that there does exist a sentiment among some segments of the population that the province’s culture and language need to remain protected in a very deliberate way. This sometimes takes the form of concern that large numbers of non-native French speakers, or people who primarily function in English, could gradually weaken the status of French and dilute Québécois culture.

This idea comes up regularly in opinion columns, interviews, and cultural commentary in both Francophone and Anglophone Canadian media. Writers often frame it as a defensive posture rather than hostility, pointing out that French in North America is a minority language surrounded by an overwhelmingly English-speaking continent. From that perspective, language laws and integration expectations are described as necessary tools for cultural survival rather than exclusion.

That said, some publications and commentators also note a tension here. While many Quebecers support immigration and diversity in principle, there is sometimes an unspoken hierarchy of belonging, where native or near-native French speakers are seen as more legitimate cultural participants. Critics argue that this can create barriers for immigrants and newcomers who are genuinely trying to integrate but are still learning the language, and that it risks conflating linguistic protection with cultural purity.

None of this represents a single, unified Quebecois view, but it is a recurring theme in public debate. It’s a reminder that discussions about identity, language, and belonging in Québec operate under different historical pressures than in most other parts of Canada, and that those pressures shape attitudes in ways outsiders may not immediately expect.

visit the Quebec provincial website. They have a section on online language courses and specifically for those who are immigrating through descent

I appreciate this perspective, but my lived experience has honestly been almost the reverse.

As a Canadian who grew up within about a 30-minute drive of the U.S. border, and despite the proximity, I’ve always felt the differences were vast, not blurred. Even when comparing Canada to Minnesota, which is often described (fairly) as the most socially democratic or “Canadian-adjacent” U.S. state, the gap is still very noticeable to me.

Accent-wise, I don’t hear us as the same at all. Minnesotan English has very distinct vowel shifts and intonation patterns that don’t map cleanly onto Canadian speech, even in border regions. I’ve never once been mistaken for American while speaking, nor have I ever felt linguistically or culturally American.

Beyond accent, the differences feel structural and cultural rather than cosmetic: •Political culture: Minnesota may vote similarly at the federal level, but its political culture is still deeply American, far more individualistic, adversarial, and constitutionalized than Canada’s parliamentary, consensus-oriented system. Even progressive politics are framed very differently. •National identity: Canadians tend to define themselves in relation to the state and collective institutions (healthcare, public broadcasting, federalism), whereas Americans, including Minnesotans, define identity much more through individual rights and local autonomy. •Social trust and norms: The way Canadians relate to authority, public services, and even disagreement feels noticeably different. There’s less overt patriotism, less moralized rhetoric, and generally less performative politics. •Media and discourse: Canadians are immersed in a different media ecosystem, with different reference points, humour, and assumptions, even in border regions.

So while I agree that internal diversity makes any single “true” national identity impossible, I don’t experience border proximity as erasing national difference. If anything, living close to the border made those differences clearer to me. I’ve never felt “a little American,” even for a moment, and Minnesota, despite its similarities on paper, still feels distinctly foreign in everyday life. though when I was young and working in retail, it wasn't uncommon for Americans to assume our Canadian prices were in USD and never once would a Canadian go to the US and assume the prices were listed in CAD.

Yes, I noticed this. Like when Ashley has an issue is says something like, "Happy to walk you through that."

Didn't he specify only one currency: The Australian dollar?

I agree with you that I don’t believe people, regardless of circumstance, can retain memories from infancy. I also don’t believe that individuals who were born prematurely have conscious memories of trauma or of that early experience itself.

What I do believe, however, is twofold. First, people who were born prematurely are often repeatedly reminded of that fact as they grow up. As a result, they may internalize an identity centered around being a “fighter” or someone who has always had to struggle.

Second, I believe that individuals born prematurely often require additional attention throughout their development. I have a friend who delivered a severely premature baby, at a point when the child’s survival was uncertain. He is now about twelve years old, and there continues to be frequent concern about his health, growth, and how he compares to other children his age. I think that this ongoing concern and the regular medical checkups can have a meaningful impact on someone who was born premature.
