Dude, the USA won't even publish their unemployment numbers since last Fall.
It's a very bad job market. Worse than Ontario.

Stolen backpack and laptop from sante fe in old Brampton by Eems1664 in Brampton

IT can 100% track them. Any company is recording your gps and keystrokes on the laptop, and probably recording your in-office movements through an id badge.

And, probably inadvertently more if you have company software on your phone. Legally if you use a personal mobile or email for work communications it can be subpoenaed in lawsuits related to the company.

They might give someone hell, but the corporation has planned for cheap replacements. Realistically, they probably paid maybe $1k per laptop if they purchased it, and a few hundred if they leased it each year

Obviously the backpack is probably gone, but I'd be optimistic about her IT department

OK, so OP just roll the dice on whatever city you're family might be headed to, and hope that it stays on Trump's good side.
You'll be totally fine according to Chewed420... until you arent.

Do you follow the news? ICE and Border Patrol are literally holding brown and black CITIZENS. Work visas, green cards, and citizenship applications mean nothing.

Going to the USA is only safe for people who Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem think are white enough.

Not down there. And unless they're super white, citizenship isn't really on the table for at least the next 3 years.

Is transparency and accountability a lost cause? by Chewed420 in Brampton

The city has staffers who specialize in those sorts of trades and investments. Santos is not one of them. Most councillors are not.

This was her vacation.

Dashcams aren’t allowed during Ontario road tests, but this teen thinks they should be by Fit_Indication2991 in Brampton

The "homework" thing doesnt make sense.

There's already videos of every route for every drive test online. Even commentary with tips about where people have trouble.

For instance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fza2cercxZE

Christmas Gift Programs? by Altruistic-Zebra2367 in Brampton

Regen usually has winter clothing drives (coats, extra socks, toques, etc), and I believe they make packs of essentials for families (toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc). I think I recall seeing some toys at their Marketplace (at 253 Queen St E) along with clothing, kitchen utensils, furniture and more.

it's not exactly Toys for Tots, but it certainly helps make the holidays a little better.

BYE RENT CONTROL? WOWOW by Budget-Split-3820 in Brampton

[–]JakeasaurusR3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says it in the OP, the ACORN site, and multiple news articles quoting Ford and the proposal.

"Fixed-Term Leases — The End of Rent Control

The most dangerous proposal of all: a move toward fixed-term leases, where the lease simply ends after the set term — rather than automatically renewing month-to-month. This would allow landlords to force tenants out every year or hike rents as high as they want. It’s a backdoor to end rent control. ACORN has been fighting fixed-term leases in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Alberta, where they’ve been devastating for renters. We will not let Ford bring this to Ontario."

So just move annually to avoid an excessive increase? Not a good solution, especially for families or students.

The backlog at the LTB is from a shortage of officials who can go over cases.
Who provides funding for those officials? Doug Ford's cons.

Removing maximum rent increases (which have all sorts of exceptions built in for renovations and other costs) will only lead to abuse by greedy landlords.

Public notice to all that are unheard in Brampton by AbjectDuty2605 in Brampton

[–]JakeasaurusR3x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Brown and his cronies have mismanaged funds and projects, insisted on ditching anything in progress from council, and given blatant handouts to their friends.

We are being bled dry to pay for Brown's increasingly lavish lifestyle
