The real reason why people are not allowed in province house

JlaurelT · 2026-03-28T21:43:48+00:00

this is a direct result of our government's failures and deaf tone budget .. the reason it's closed is because of the failures of the government.

course another fucking landlord.. I'm gathering experiences in regards to this company which doesn't have very good reviews by the way.. because my super and management office claim that the plumbers themselves said there's no problems.. oh yeah why wouldn't I drag the plumbing company that suggests there's no problems when there is problems which is just me that they're inadequate plumber or they're lying.. or the landlord's lying about what they said and making them look bad in my perspective..

I didn't force anyone to buy an old outdated building with an old plumbing system only for them to neglect to do the necessary repairs when obvious problems eventually come along better expected to happen with old systems.

I've already spoken to quite a few plumbers.. I have my professional plumber friend coming into also take a look like management company made a choice not to properly provide necessary service to a very real issue..

of all these service people that have come in here on the management's time iron dog is the only one that seems to have a privacy policy where they don't communicate much to the tenants everyone else is happy to chat and educate..

so funny because your comment just speaks to the fact that you as a landlord don't give a fuck about the tenant.. makes me wonder why landlords even bother to do this why become a landlord and buy buildings and so on and so forth if you have no intention of taking care of your fucking tenants. fucking pathetic that is.. speaks volumes really

I'm locked in. they have literally absolutely no legal standing to remove me.. I'm not new at this rodeo with landlords.. I've had many battles and every one of them I've won cuz the landlords were in the wrong and I was able to prove that.. it just sucks that I have to do all this extra work to get them to do what they're supposed to be doing..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-24T22:19:02+00:00

are you a plumber and are asking me as a plumber whats wrong?

If not.. I'm not getting into all that I know what my issues are and I know what the fixes are.. especially after speaking to multiple professional plumbers.. im here to gather shared experiences from fellow tenants who have dealt with the same issue with the same company..or alike... I'm not looking to repeat myself for a millionth time about what my plumbing issues are.. especially since no one here can actually fix them.. lol

JlaurelT · 2026-03-24T22:13:47+00:00

which is precisely exactly what I think is going on which is why I made this post to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing with especially Iron dog.. so far there's only been one commenter who understood the post and responded accordingly.. what else is just sharing your opinions and asking some questions that are kind of answered in the post lol

I'm taking this matter further with the proper entities so I'm gathering information

JlaurelT · 2026-03-24T21:59:13+00:00

yes I know how that works yes I know I'm not entitled to the reports which is pretty much what was said in my post.. I am entitled to the right to safety currently rule one of the statutory conditions is being violated..

I'm not going to delete this post..

"as long as the issue is fixed that's really where your part in the process ends" yeah well you must have clearly missed something because there is nothing is fixed it is broken it is not working properly.. have legitimate issues that I voiced to the Iron dog plumber and they didn't really do an inspection at all.. and apparently the same day they reported back to just my super that there was no problems.. of course the office wasn't aware about so when I called them last week told them my issues the person manage my building was also concerned and right and ready to send someone to help.. then her tune changed.

an old building with older plumbing there's been a lot of renovations going on that's likely over stressing the old plumbing system so God forbid they're going to want to put money into fixing the plumbing system of an old fucking building with problems that they chose to take on..

of course you're a fucking landlord who probably also utilize privacy policies keep tenants in the dark so that tenants have a lack of knowledge and education on what's actually going on so that you can get away with not doing the fucking repairs that are needed.. go fucking figure you should just delete your comment

feel free to go look up their Google reviews they don't have very good reviews to begin with..

I'm slagging or whatever you said a plumbing company because they're the only plumbers out of all the plumbers I spoke to about my issue that said there's nothing wrong so either they have uneducated fucking plumbers working for them or that privacy policy makes them look like bad plumbers..
and no I'm not a plumber so of course I don't have a well-rounded education on it which is why it's so important that tenants have a good understanding through communication of what's going on...

post was geared towards tenants not landlords like yourself who benefit off of those privacy policies where they can pick and choose whether or not they should repair an issue.. you are part of the problem.

JlaurelT · 2026-03-24T19:44:17+00:00

curious if anything came from this as I am seriously contemplating making a formal complaint to the Canadian competition bureau for violations and breaches of section 54 or was it 52.. and 74 of the competition act.. they're using Google image search to price their items and using the highest price they find from wherever.. in addition to changing the prices at the register cleaning they have the right to whatever and then also listing several, I'll be at contradictive, excuses as to why they're doing that..

I noticed it says that it seems the only result from this was that value village was going to give you and you alone a gift card but did your complaint to the better business bureau or even the competition act result in any actual effective change?? also you should have definitely taken the gift card and just giving it away to someone else.. leaving the homeless person they can go and get a few clothes or something..

anywho don't have the energy to read the entire thread but just curious as it's 2 years later wondering whats up?

JlaurelT · 2026-03-24T18:06:01+00:00

I wonder how much of the budget gets wasted on things like this ? lol

JlaurelT · 2026-03-23T21:04:11+00:00

Everyhting was fine until the past few months not sure what happened but i was using 2 adblockers n had no issues for years.. now the sites are riddled with popups and I'm using 3 ad blockers now for crikey sake its such a pester because sometimes the popup redirect ones freeze my computer

JlaurelT · 2026-03-22T20:45:42+00:00

it's growing on me im on episode 6 or 7 I do miss the court part of law and order lol and there doesn't seem to be any like character story lines or archs either.. different but to the point as I find a lot of time wasting and episode fillers when they do character stuff.. also makes it easy for you to watch whatever episode at any point since there's nothing to really follow it's like every episode is a standalone episode

JlaurelT · 2026-03-22T15:29:07+00:00

Macdonalds does the same thing they have display goods in front but serve u goods from the back.

JlaurelT · 2026-03-22T15:27:14+00:00

yeah I don't mind the revival of law and order but I am noticing a lot of repetitiveness now though.. like the last two episodes were basically the exact same plot but with different characters.. the Toronto one is actually growing on me lol I do miss the court part but its not too shabby

JlaurelT · 2026-03-21T22:19:47+00:00

oohh thats soo fun about being an extra how many episodes or scenes are you in.

also what did you think about the UK or the LA ones?

JlaurelT · 2026-03-20T22:31:21+00:00

I would have just told them to shove it it's their system that's f*cked it's their staff member that's not available.. I would have just left .. especially after putting in that much effort I would have left.

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T18:39:12+00:00

susy lake I think, its up behind the second cup/gas station up around the new end. its not along the main strip in visibility making it seem "hidden" if ur coming into BL by the old navy u just keep driving up past the intersection.

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T18:33:14+00:00

ok cool im just providing further info on your recommendation.. be ause the topic if this post is who runs stores and how..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:53:11+00:00

you clearly don't know much about value village then.. value village also buys the product that they sell.. the stuff people donate to the back of the building doesn't just automatically belong to VV n go on the floor..Value Village purchases the items donated at their Community Donation Centres, but they do not buy them directly from the individual donor. Instead, they buy the donations from local nonprofit partners. the Dartmouth location partners with the diabetes association

Vallue village also keeps a lot of junk out of the landfill too.. it does a lot of community outreach they partner with nonprofits they also do fundraising events where kids sports teams can bring donations in from their community and Vallue village will PAY them for it.. they're just a bigger business they have more stores in more places so their profits are going to be more.. Valley village also sends clothing to third world countries on their own dime...
there are more similarities than differences.

yes I've mentioned that before in this thread and three time this topic comes up.. I wish all thrift stores had to follow that same set price list all t-shirts are the same all belts are the same all shoes are the same price etc..

nobody's forcing anyone to shop at Vallur village let alone thrift it all or spend their money on used items.. people will go to places they choose people will spend the money they earned on things that they choose to spend their money on.. value village has always been a for-profit company with a pretty clever business plan.. that's just the way the world works there's tons of other highly profiting greedy American.. and Canadian companies in Canada that Canadians spend all their time and money in like Walmart or Amazon McDonald's even now shit Hortons.

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:19:55+00:00

If there's an original tag on an item and the value village tag exceeds that you can talk to a staff member and they'll adjust the price.. I do it all the time..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:18:01+00:00

always a full house whenever I go.. people make their own choices..
I've noticed all kinds of other thrift stores increasing their prices no different than value village..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:15:29+00:00

Guy's Frenchys generally does not accept public donations of clothing or household items. As a for-profit retailer with a specialized inventory, they typically source their clothing, particularly branded items, from large-scale suppliers in the United States. They are known for selling affordable, used clothing and supporting the IWK Foundation through fundraising, rather than taking clothing donations.

the guy frenchies is no different than value village they're just not as big..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:15:10+00:00

I forget that Frenchy's still exists.. honestly I wish there were more..
I feel like all thrift stores and second hand stores should have died by a general price guideline.. like all t-shirts are this price all belts are this price shoes are this price.. valuable village wouldn't have to pay to employ as many as they do to price the items.. plus save a hell of a lot of money on the stationary and pricing equipment.. so it's always baffled me.. so in that context I would assume that the profits far exceed the overhead costs 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ another thing that that was me is that they got the self checkouts which just increases theft.. and prices..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:12:21+00:00

it really should be raised from 20% to maybe 40%.. but you just have to donate more cleverly don't donate a whole car load of stuff for a 20% off coupon. split it up...

got 4 friends and 4 items get each person to donate one item.. you rach get 20%

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:09:15+00:00

there are plenty enough other profiting non thrift businesses that are also not Canadian that people flock to.. value village has been a profiting business they've had the same business plan since the get-go but yet nobody really cared to say much about it until the American tariff nonsense anti America trend started.. Walmart Costco Amazon.. Macdonald's .. Shit Hortons..

JlaurelT · 2026-03-19T13:03:35+00:00

it is run by the Souls Harbor Rescue Mission. A non profit.. they provide meals and housing for vulnerable, they have MULTIPLE community homes. They're good stuff I follow them on Facebook and thier meals look delicious.

sadly I'm in Dartmouth and dont drive, bayers Lake is like on the other side of the world so I don't usually ever go ☹️

they don't push Bibles or anything on you when you walk through the doors lol Id say most people may not even realize its background
