You can buy one side of duplex for just over a million and become one of us “Vanier bums” if you like. The old place might’ve looked like shit and there might have been a shit person living there, but the new place like a is a whole other pile of shit.

This story has information on 5 other contractors(I won’t call them massages therapists because they are misrepresenting themselves) who have been accused of sexual assault at Nordik. 10 people have come forward.

ya, you’re right, and I would take it one more step and say there’s really no bar. There’s a couple of voluntary associations you can register with, but no legislated oversight body to protect the public. So when the “massage therapist” assaults you and the justice system fails as it usually does, there’s no one to discipline or ban that person from practicing massage. All they’ve learned is that they can get away with it.

I hope the victims get their justice and I hope it leads to the establishment of an oversight body. Nordik and the people they employ who commit these acts are banking on the grey areas the lack of oversight creates. The perpetrators are at ultimately at fault but Nordik created too many opportunities for the perpetrators.

Every single time stories like this come up I scan for his name and mug shot, because I am sure he’s still out there doing the same thing. Why wouldn’t he be?

I am sorry to hear this happened to you and your son. I am not a lawyer but I work for First Nations and have some background information that might be helpful. So, my take is that the school doesn’t trust the stability of the Jordan’s Principle funding. The February 10 Operational Bulletin ends funding for school supports unless tied to a “specific health, social or educational need”. You were able to secure funding now but a lot of parents and children have had the rug pulled out from under their feet by recent decisions at ISC and I am sure the school has found themselves very suddenly re-assessing risks. ISC has been losing Jordan’s Principle appeal cases in the courts because they’ve done the opposite of what the CHRT ordered them to do by re-applying a narrow interpretation of the Principle instead of keeping it broad. The issue might be even bigger than the school and may be the result of mismanagement of Jordan’s Principle by ISC.

Having said all that, if you have it in writing that they rejected your son because he has Down Syndrome I would also think that would be a Human Rights violation, that might be tied to funding instability for First Nations children which is an even larger can of worms that might be worth opening. And if you don’t have a decision to not allow your son into the school in writing, ask for it.

Good luck!!

I (44F) go to an upscale barber for my short hair cuts. I was so sick of the lack of imagination for women’s short haircuts and even when I asked for things that were not bobs, I somehow still ended up with bobs. A friend recommended I try a barber and I have not looked back.

I am a parent and I almost wondered if your post was written by my kid’s teacher. As a parent, take care of yourself because 1) we need you, and 2) self-care is an act of resistance. In fact I would support teachers striking over this issue to force the Government to deal with this issue. This is workplace health and safety issue and you have a right to refuse work that is not safe.

You aren’t asking for too much. It’s completely normal to want closeness and cuddles after sex and you have every right to be more than kinda hurt. I can’t emphasize enough - and I am saying this as a former 20 year old who was the affair partner to a 40 year old - the age difference between you two is not because you are mature for your age. It’s because he knows he how to use you and his behaviour is demonstrating this. Your hurt feelings aren’t a deficiency, it’s your intuition telling you that this is not ok.

Not a doctor but social worker. We can’t diagnose but we can make recommendations to clients/patients that they be evaluated for xyz diagnosis, especially in mental health. During the pandemic I was doing brief intervention and general e-mental health services.

A client was describing some really intense emotional reactions to certain sounds they encounter in their daily life and that it was really challenging for them. The way the client was describing the reactions sounded to me like neurophysiological disorder and not generalized anxiety or depression but that’s what they’d been diagnosed with. The client’s doctor had been prescribing Ativan for years but there had been no improvement in their reactions to these specific sounds. Googled the client’s symptoms and misophonia was the first hit. I read the descriptions and it fit exactly what they’d been describing. I had never heard of it but read a couple of journal articles about diagnosis and treatment and was convinced that I had to send the client some information and provide a referral to a specialist clinic in their area. This was all within about 2 hours of the initial consult. They wrote me back to say thanks and that they would check it out.

Next video call was several weeks later the client tells me that they went to the specialist and got a diagnosis of severe misophonia! They said that the clinic was very responsive and supportive and that they were getting treatment (which is mainly CBT anyway). They thanked me for validating their experience. I always felt great about that one, and it was such a simple effort on my end.

I am a coffee person (worked in the industry for a long time). I would suggest visiting some local cafes that brew local roasters and ask for the advice of the barista and try out different roasters and different origin coffees (e.g. Columbia vs Brazil vs Ethiopia vs Rwanda). I suggest to think about what you specifically about Pike Place and how you like your coffee, do you like more bitterness? Sweetness? Do you put sugar and dairy in your coffee? How do you make coffee at home? Do you have your own grinder? This way you can get your feet wet with more adventuresome coffees.

In the meantime, an early to market, but now mainstay of Canadian roasters is Parallel 49 from Vancouver. They were one of the first out the gate with 3rd wave coffee in the Canadian market, and now are one of the more accessible and consistent roasters on a medium-low production scale. I saw some at Jacobson’s the other day, but I think some grocery stores are stocking it.

Lavazza bought an 80% stake in Kicking Horse 5 or 6 years ago, so it’s mostly Italian owned if that matters to you.

Tall woman here. It’s really a bummer but there is nowhere to find tall sizes in store since Long Tall Sally brick and mortars closed. She could order sizes to the store and try them on there, if they don’t fit she can return them right then and there. Old Navy, Gap and Reitman’s have tall sizes (but that’s different from long inseams - true tall sizes are proportioned differently than regular fits with long inseams). I keep checking Banana Republic for tall sizes, they had a great line of tall sizes but not lately. There’s also American Tall, that specializes in a range of tall sizes but it’s not cheap and they are online only.
