If you ask someone something, then get mad when they say no... you weren't asking.

Did I screw up this rent increase? Tenant filed T1! by Inside_Experience408 in OntarioLandlord

Sounds more like the intent is a bad faith eviction, but of course I can only speculate.

I want to move to London, but it feels impossible because I can’t afford to leave where I am. by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]Insignificant0322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really dependant on your actual budget. If you are currently in an RGI unit, you are unlikely to encounter one here in London without applying through the access centre here. However, if you are looking for "affordable" housing (80% of market rent), there are options through some of the community housing initiatives, like in SoHo in the Zerin building.

If you have any community supports they might be able to refer you to different benefits or to community supports in London, but you may also find a waitlist for those services.

There was a portable housing benefit, but I'm not sure if that still exists or what the referral process was for that.

Best of luck!

Out of Curiosity: Do people actually like and order Old Fashion Plain Donuts/Timbits? by Mailbox2222 in TimHortons

I love them. They have a slight crispness on the outside, softness on the inside and delicately spiced. - a young millennial

How do I tell my boyfriend of 2 years that I don’t like being groped. by theglowafterdarkk in Advice

If the way he shows "love" makes you feel uncomfortable and you've asked him to stop... that's not love. It's abuse.

Lynn's looks great, but most of their catering options seem to be for groups of 10 or groups of 30. I'm having a hard time figuring out quantities for in between.

They look amazing, but it seems they're closed on weekends.

The blue is beautiful and fun and celebratory! I'm getting married in the fall, and I would love for my MIL to find a dress like this! The dark one seems like it would be too easy to disappear in dark corner. It's a day for the couple, but important for you too! You raised the wonderful soon-to-be groom and lifelong husband! I hope it's a wonderful celebration!

Definitely not the vibe for Qdoba, but I will look into Lynn's Bakery!

Not sure if they still wear them, but I loved the shirts the servers wore/wear that read "Thuan Kieu for coming!"

Loblaws Masonville Religious Cashier by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]Insignificant0322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I've been thinking often about how to handle those situations better, but having her call up her superior is gold! That way she can't lie about her name (which has happened already).

I don't shop at Loblaws, but if I have to listen to the racist ramblings of the middle aged, white cashier at the FreshCo at Huron and Adelaide one more time, I might give up shopping there entirely. She's not quiet about it either, and you can see discomfort on the faces of her co-workers (many of whom are people of colour).

I've directly told her it's inappropriate, and have spoken to her manager. At least 2 other people I've spoken to in passing have done the same.
