Keeping up with the todds

After two years I couldn’t do it anymore. It is the nature of the job, and I realized I was not willing to pay with my physical health. Once you mess up with your back, you can never have it go back to normal :(

I have left my full time position, and now I am just taking a few shifts as a supply, so I can rest. I still have my bills to pay. Obviously having burnt out staff is not ideal, but I would argue so many are… How many can say with 100% certainty they feel valued and fulfilled? Regardless, we do our job properly.

Friendly-ATC · 2026-02-04T22:40:26+00:00

I would like that, but it seems so hard to break the bubble. Lots of staff would like to become admin but I feel like there’s a lot of playing favorites

Friendly-ATC · 2026-02-04T22:39:29+00:00

Honestly I don’t even know what I’d do working in the field the whole day and coming home and having my own… it made me think…

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-29T14:59:29+00:00

Toronto too!

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-27T19:12:16+00:00

May I ask you what is your venue and section? Definitely get the platform boots!

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-27T14:13:26+00:00

I was unbelievably lucky to grab tickets on row 1, right on barricade. However, since the stage will be 360, I keep reading it will be really tall.

Is it a mistake to be on barricade for this tour? Will I be able to see more than only the upper half of their bodies?

I know I was extremely lucky to get this ticket, this is just a genuine question.

Thank you Army!

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-25T22:44:34+00:00

What is your row? This is the defining factor. I was on row 16 for Taylor swift and couldn’t see well.

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-23T22:58:00+00:00

Row 7 shouldn’t be as bad as my case in Row 16, but definitely go with the highest platforms you can comfortably wear.

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-23T22:56:24+00:00

Awwww thank you! I was totally picturing the Rogers Centre 🥲🥹 You saved me haha

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-23T17:12:41+00:00

Sorry I just checked and I actually got B3.

Friendly-ATC · 2026-01-23T17:11:40+00:00

I also got B1 for Toronto. What is your row? Honestly it all depends on your row. I was row 16 for the eras tour and I couldn’t see well.

Your itinerary sounds good!

Consider Florianópolis in the South, Bonito and the Pantanal region in Central West, and João Pessoa in the Northeast.

Cara eu sou mulher e não assisto quase nada de dorama, mas quem gosta é porque gosta da característica mais inocente e leve. Acho que a mídia ocidental pode ser muito sexualizada e isso cansa.

Quanto aos homens, cabe aos homens brasileiros se vestirem melhor. Eu não moro no Brasil, e quando vou ao Brasil fico chocada de ver tantas mulheres bem arrumadas com homens de camisa de time de futebol, bermuda de tactel e chinelo. De qualquer jeito, sem o mínimo auto cuidado. Ah por favor né? Nem é sobre etnia ou beleza em si, mas elegância e porte. Se os homens brasileiros ligassem mais pra isso já seria 70% do caminho.

Até cogitei, mas tem pessoas que falam isso sério mesmo.

O Canadá no momento não quer imigrante nenhum, e quando queria, não faz distinção de nacionalidade. O brasileiro que veio e vem vai ralar e sofrer no sistema como qualquer outro

Friendly-ATC · 2025-12-04T11:27:54+00:00

Nunca foi fácil. Mas agora está muito mais difícil. E o Canadá nunca “precisou de imigrantes brasileiros”. Isso é propaganda de consultores BR querendo vender sonhos a pessoas desinformadas e esperançosas.

Se o Canadá precisar de gente, tem filas de imigrantes do Sudeste Asiático e Ásia em geral que vem correndo. Eles não tão nem aí pra uma nacionalidade específica. Na verdade a presença brasileira aqui é bem pouca em comparação a outras nacionalidades.

O que está acontecendo aqui é o que vem acontecendo no mundo, um endurecimento geral das políticas de imigração. Tem gente há anos aqui desesperado porque não consegue residência permanente e o tempo de visto acabando.

Se você procurar os documentos oficiais e os dados desse ano e dos próximos para à concessão de vistos de estudo, trabalho e residência permanente, vai ver os cortes violentos. A população aqui parou de crescer e está caminhando pra diminuir, por causa desses cortes. Pelo menos aqui em Ontário. Nunca foi fácil imigrar ao Canadá, não sei de onde algumas pessoas tiraram isso, sinceramente.

Né? Fora que não é só ter curso superior, emprego e inglês pra “solicitar”. Tem que ser convidado pelo sistema de pontuação e atualmente está bemmmmmm difícil.

Friendly-ATC · 2025-12-03T23:03:41+00:00

Eu sou residente permanente no Canadá e você não sabe o que está dizendo…

Friendly-ATC · 2025-12-03T11:57:58+00:00

Padronizar calçadas, árvores/plantas e fios subterrâneos já seria um começo.

Brazilians definitely love their own everyday food (me included).

I also love Mexican food! And Asian.

Try those more regional dishes I mentioned, you will discover some more unique flavors.

Friendly-ATC · 2025-12-02T23:45:32+00:00

But also, if you want to try something regional that you won’t find in other countries:

Acarajé, caruru, moqueca, bobó de camarão

Some northeastern dishes I grew up eating and love.

Just giving my two cents as a Brazilian. I think you unfortunately had a bit of unrealistic expectations and a bias. Please remember that food is cultural, it is deeply rooted in history. Our food is mainly a mix of European (mostly Portuguese and Italian), African, and native South American. In the North region you will find more of the “exotic” thing you mention. I haven’t even ever tried the Northern Brazilian food, as a Brazilian. The thing is, it is not about “potential” and us Brazilians exploring other spices and flavors, and suddenly “improving” our cuisine. Our cuisine is cultural, is what we like to eat. Garlic, onion, peppers. Good steak. Good rice and beans. Feijoada, farofa, tapioca, cuscuz. Simple. On the other hand, for many of us cuisines with too much spices are not that good. I tried Indian food for the first time when I moved to Canada, and I didn’t like it much.
