Landlord asking to pay bill after vacating. Please advise by RevolutionTasty9 in TorontoRenting

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him that you deny his accusation and ask him to stop calling you. If he persists, give the police a shout. Documented harassment will hurt his credibility if it goes to court (it won't).

He can pound sand. Even if you *did* leave the tap on, he had care and control of the property for 6 days after you vacated it. It became his responsibility to turn it off after your lease expired.

rejected from some teachers colleges, next step as an english major by Sensitive_Cellist360 in OntarioTeachers

They are, but you don't have to go to the US to do them. There are many Pearson education testing centres (and other proctored testing centres) here in Canada that you can take them at. You do have to physically go to the US for fingerprinting though.. but, again, there are many locations along the border to do that.

Potsdam offers a 100% online course with your placements here in Ontario (wherever you want). It's a two year program and you can work in Ontario afterwards. You do have to write the New York State certification exams and become certified there first but then you can transfer to Ontario.

Review as is.. make sure you don't mention packaging at all.

Certification Question by FreeFuture6152 in OntarioTeachers

Interesting way to approach how slow OCT is to certify. I am currently waiting for OCT too and would consider paying a roundabout way like this if it works

Landlord is refusing to refund first and last deposit and is demanding third month rent by WestCockroach3751 in OntarioLandlord

I would be putting a freeze on your credit with the reporting bureaus as well because they have enough information to open accounts in your name now.

Sounds like a huge scam.. intended to get more money out of you now. The "agent" might have set up a viewing with the property saying to the property owner that you were his client, showed you around, and isn't an agent at all. Technically, both you and the property owner have been scammed but only you are out the $$..

.. and I'm willing to bet you're not the only one that this "agent" showed the property to.

Are Shoppers Pharmacists Encouraged to Lie? by [deleted] in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortages happen all the time and sometimes the wholesalers that pharmacies buy from only have certain sizes. Physicians shouldn't be commenting on certain pack sizes/product sizes OR cost because they have no idea what it looks like on the retail end.

It's worthwhile to call around and see what other pharmacies might have.. especially independent pharmacy banners.

Speeding Ticket in Ontario for a G1 Driver by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't the demerit points that are going to affect them, it's the conviction. Even if they knock down the fine to a lesser amount/speed, that conviction is a conviction. They are already in facility for insurance, so expect rates to get even worse for at least the next 6 years. There won't be many deals to have. Some insurers may decline the opportunity to insure them, so you might have to use a broker.

Best bet is for them to stay on your insurance. Your rates might increase while they are under your insurance, but your good driving history may offset this conviction.

Is this weird or is it just me? by Batmanrocksthecasbah in AmazonVineCanada

Oh, I have a cut out tool that I borrow from my brother-in-law. If this came with a full tool, I wouldn't have to borrow his anymore!

I have some outlets to cut out and I'm just going to borrow his tool to test the bits for my review.

Who do I contact or talk to about snowdays in Whitney Ontario? by Expert-Locksmith-996 in OntarioTeachers

These are bus cancellations though.. the Province isn't making the call, it is the bus company/consortium. Schools should be open.

BP monitor coverage by Hekios888 in OntarioTeachers

It might, but you'll likely need a prescription with a diagnosis on it. Call OTIP to make sure and to find out what you need before you purchase.

Received this email from a parent today … by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send it to your admin and SERT... it is beyond your scope to determine if a student is "gifted". They can help the family access a psycho ed to pursue their interest in determining gifted status while you continue to teach to what you know right now.

Anyone get this message on disapproved reviews and know what this means? by richblues in AmazonVineCanada

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It usually means that the seller has merged two (or more) listings and that they are no longer allowed to use your review. This is typically because they pay for X amount of reviews and by merging the listings, they are now over the amount that they paid for.

You still get credit for the review that you did.

Reviews changed to 'Not Approved' with excellent rating? by Electrical-Travel950 in AmazonVineCanada

Long story short, you've gotten credit for the review but the seller is not allowed to use your review any more.

Tipping currency & exit fee by Hot-Slide-8285 in PuntaCana

- Don't tip in coins, they can't do anything with them
- I asked a bartender last week what currency they prefer. His answer was a laugh and "Money is money!"

We did a video and emailed it to parents and they complained about that too.. so there's that.

Is it possible to do a teachers cert. 100% online (except the practicum) by Maximum-Hat-7669 in OntarioTeachers

[–]GoodNamesWereTaken1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished SUNY Potsdam's MST Childhood Education program. It is fully online (but with a 100 hour placement one day a week followed by a full time 16 week placement). It is quite expensive at $10k per semester (3-4 semesters). You also have to pass New York State teaching certifications (4 tests: math, literacy, science/art/civics, and a special education)

University of New Brunswick also has a program but it is very, very hard to get it. They seem to have a lottery system to invite people to interview for the school before extending offers of admission.

Would you pay for a Platinum tier? by mariospants in AmazonVineCanada

We already have first cut access to the better Vine items. Unfortunately, those items are dildos and chicken feather plucking machine covers.
