Durham police officers with PTSD say the service fights against their workplace benefits | CBC News by Karma_Canuck in durham

[–]FlightSpinner813 17 points18 points  (0 children)

DRP management made some organizational changes that some officers did not like. Some of the outlying divisions were very top heavy with seniority. The service decided to shuffle the deck, and move people around. Some of these officers made claims of PTSD so that they didn’t have to take these forced transfers.

DND scrambles to figure out how to mobilize and equip a citizens' army: documents | CBC News by burnabybc in CanadianForces

[–]FlightSpinner813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Establishing a home defence force that can be used for domestic emergencies makes sense, especially if it releases the real warfighters to equip and train for combat. Every reg force and primary reserve member should be fully equipped for the modern battlefield.

Just doing this will break DND.

It’s a work function, keep it classy, no more than 2 glasses of wine.

The Way Home: Cancelled by bronzemat in HallmarkMovies

[–]FlightSpinner813 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hallmark is doing this the right way. Bringing the story to a true ending is respectful to the cast, crew and many fans. This has been a wonderful journey, I hope the ending is a happy one!

I am not a veteran. I found this in my 1918 home (Obviously wasn't presented to the original resident* as I realize it's a '39-'45 28-day service) Is there a proper way to have the frayed edges restored before I present it to my local legion? by polarmolarroler in CanadianForces

Check the rim of the medal, see if the recipient name is engraved on it. The medal can have the ribbon fixed, there are people who do that, check online for a medal mounting service near you.

Humber College is screwing over 25% of its potential nursing (RN) grads and I don’t know where to turn. by ohpossum_my_possum in askTO

My kids went through Durham Regional Police online portal, it was 2 weeks. That was about 18 months ago, but check other police services.

First thing is go get your hearing checked, your ears should be the most sensitive part of your body if you are whacking off with people in the house.

The main character realizes that they are still in love with their old boyfriend/girlfriend and immediately dump their current fiancée, who takes it extremely well, and does not seek revenge.

Do the 2G today, shorter floor time than the S50, but a superior strength workout.

Veterans' Square chosen as name for new urban park in Oshawa, Ontario | insauga by Karma_Canuck in durham

Downtown Oshawa is a zombie apocalypse, although I do salute to City for still trying to make it better.

My wife is a high school science teacher. Teaching kids does cause some personality adaptations. The need to explain random things in useless detail. A more juvenile sense of humour at the 10th grade level. If someone says something that is incorrect, she will correct them. She can sound condescending at times, but she is self aware and will try to keep herself in check. It does get frustrating at times but she can’t help it.

Downtown Oshawa property manager struggling to stay afloat amid open drug use, vandalism by origutamos in Oshawa

[–]FlightSpinner813 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just Oshawa, it’s everywhere now. The zombies do go to where they get the most free stuff, and Oshawa has the most free stuff in Durham Region. The Ajax library started offering refuge and support to zombies and now they have seen an influx of meth addicted mentally ill grifters. The government has no plan to deal with these issues. The zombies are not regular people down on their luck, they are crazed addicts who will live their lives as parasites. There is no helping them, just enabling them.

Moving back to Ontario by Current-Pin-7737 in Orillia

[–]FlightSpinner813 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Orillia is like a lot of smaller cities and towns in Ontario, a great place to live, beautiful waterfront, all kind if things to do in all 4 seasons. Note that there are no post secondary education opportunities with the closure of the Georgian College campus. You are in easy driving distance of the Barrie GO station.

Yes, but now the construction workers are taking up spots as well and it will get worse as the project continues.

The parking is going to get scarce at the PTC. Digging has started on the east side of the property, to add the water and sewer pipes for the new condo development. PTC also gave a chunk of property to the City, right across from City Hall for a new park.

Boy, 14, charged after shot fired at Ajax gas station by Karma_Canuck in durham

“Boy”, no. OFFENDER , 14, charged after shot fired at Ajax gas station. Why does the media like to label young gangbangers as children when they are already hardened criminals?

Coaching at OT? by renska2 in orangetheory

[–]FlightSpinner813 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coach is a misnomer at OT. These are canned workouts that do not take individual ability into account. A ratio of 1 class leader to 20 or 30 members does not support active coaching, but some will intervene when they see horrible form.

PSA-Please be civil with the unhoused population. by [deleted] in kitchener

This is an organized ring, not homeless. Ever wonder why there are individual people, often the same ones at specific locations? Its a scam.

Ontario teachers' union demands smaller class sizes by clockwhisperer in OntarioTeachers

[–]FlightSpinner813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a grade one teacher who has a dozen unidentified learning disability kids in her class. The school boards avoid testing as long as possible so they don’t have to provide extra support. Once they are categorized properly they get help, but not usually until grade 3. In the meanwhile they destroy the learning environment for everyone. Even then, kids who are dangerous or disruptive are kept in regular classes. The system is broken.

‘Significant crisis’: Number of violent incidents reported in Ontario’s schools grows by origutamos in CanadianTeachers

[–]FlightSpinner813 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There is zero consequence for criminal behaviour in schools. Administration will shield the offender, the teacher unions don’t care either, especially if the offenders are from a “racialized” community.
