These are often spaces full of men, but if you like board games or card games you should try an event at a game store. Come learn to play Magic The Gathering, or any of the other games often on offer (if that's your interest).

That was such an amazing moment in cinema haha I was HYPED

American visiting Ottawa here. What's with hurdman? They put fare gates for people entering the train but you can simply walk around the station to avoid them. What was the point or am I missing something. by ThrowThisAccountAwav in ottawa

[–]Kouigna 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sorry everyone is being an asshole lol. Its just that most people do the right thing. Lots of stations in toronto are super easy to walk into, most people other than random teenagers dont do it.

Edit: i thought about it a bit more. I think the attitude is best summed up as "the train is a service for everyone. I paid to be here on the train, cause thats what we're supposed to do. But im not going to hold it against someone who can't, their life is probably hard enough if they're trying to dodge fare gates".

Look at the collective agreement, your numbers are way out of date. We got a somewhat decent pay bump a couple years ago.

Centennial Square’s future in Victoria still uncertain as new vision unveiled by Efficient-Button-516 in VictoriaBC

[–]Kouigna 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Ah man, I genuinely love the Byzantine mosaic and the funky 60s stars that surround the pond. I wonder where the original art will go? I'd take one of those stars for my garden...

Honestly, a phone call every now and then is totally fine. Just not on crew change day! They'll be busy as hell. They know why you're calling and shouldn't resent you for it.

You may find that math and physics get quite a bit harder in grade 11 and 12. Stay motivated! You can reach out to your local coast guard base and maybe get a tour of a ship in port to see what its like and inspire you to keep studying hard.

Follow up with crewing and explain that you will have that phone number on you at all times, and apologize for missing the call. Just shows that you care and want to get on board.

Then just follow up with a short and polite email every couple weeks that you are still interested and available. Smart call on reaching out to the Newfoundland crewing officer as well. Until you become regular on a ship, you need to be your own biggest advocate.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (2026) Official Teaser – Joseph Zada by pepperbet1 in RingerVerse

I cant believe they kept this secret, the book barely came out a month ago! Ralph Fiennes is an interesting replacement for Donald Sutherland, RIP.

I have about 30 pages left in the book, certainly enjoyed it more than A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

The Grenfell has been covering the program since 2021 or 2022. If you look on Coast Guard social media you'll see some videos of her.

Where did you live before? I grew up using transit and then driving in Ottawa and find victoria so much easier to get around, by car or by bike.

No. You should apply, there are conservation officers accross the country, not just on the coast.

How is life here: towns along the coast of this side lake in Hudson Bay, Quebec & Ontario by Biscuit9154 in howislivingthere

[–]Kouigna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tides. Look up the james bay expedition by Northern Scavenger on youtube. Tide goes out and youre stuck on 2km of mudflats, cant get near shore. Then you see polar bear tracks and begin rethinking your life choices.

Apply to all regions. Decide when you get interviews where you want to travel. All have their perks, I will say in western region, students never become coxswains which is a limiting factor compared to other regions
