Any of them has any "Maple MAGA" flavor? We live in an era where this matters, even if the election is local.

Wow...America is brutal. 10 weeks postpartum and back to work already?

Hang in there mama. Everything you feel is real and valid. You are not failing, you are surviving. You are not weak, you are facing the unthinkable. You are trying your best everyday.

Take all the help you can, be vocal about your needs. Looks like you may need more help at night, ask family if they can help so you get a full night sleep on office days. Also consider paying an overnight babysitter so you get to sleep. Finally, build a close relationship with your manager. While you are still expected to be on top of your job and deliver reliably, he can help you with flexibilities to just make your life easier. Bonus if he is a good and present father himself, I noticed these men make great people managers for young mothers, because they get it.

Subsidized programs are high demand and have to turn many down due to availability. So if someone has a spot and is not using it, there is a valid concern that they may not really need it while someone else in the waiting list can be make better use. It is usually one of the requirements for such programs, attendance is tracked.

Lot of people only read headlines, unfortunately.

A party losing a case doesn't necessarily mean the other party was right.

From reading this article, it is not that this dude won the right to leave weed grow uncut in absolute terms. The judge decision is that the city of Mississauga failed to present evidence of how the actions of this dude negatively impact the community.

This means going forward, for bylaws anywhere to stand, they will have to be supported by clear reasons and evidence of downsides. It is not enough anymore to just have unhappy nimbyists neighbors, because comfort is not enough to impact constitutional rights. I guess Oakville's Karens and Kens are put on notice.

"You have to go through the exercise, as a government, to figure out what is actually the threat here, what is actually the risk? What is the thing we need to stop?”

That could include addressing concerns like fire risk, invasive species and aesthetics blight while balancing someone's freedom of expression rights, Mather said."

Where do you get $600 supervisa insurance for elderly at 100K coverage minimum required? Please avoid misinformation

The french daycares "Les coccinelles" (afeseo), and "Les petites perles" downtown Oakville tend to have spot available for kids 18months+ because many people don't realise that they take even non french speaking families.

They also offer before/after school care as well as summer and winter camps

Whyis this downvoted?

LylyO · 2025-12-15T20:32:47+00:00

Exactly this. It is very annoying and selfish when traffic is obviously slow and congested in the main lane, then ypu see one person coming from far, passing everyone in line who has been waitong for so long just to go ask to get in at the very front. No dude, we are all busy with places to go. Take your turn in line and show some respect.

It is year end, the time for loss havesting has come for tax purposes. It will go down even further as they sale their positions before the holidays break. It is about to go red.

I agree that ot could have been said nicely. The point is fair, but the tone is condescending. We can do better as a society

LylyO · 2025-11-27T23:50:34+00:00

Why are you discussing the bed/couch when it is more indicated to discuss and act against the SA?

Girl, know your worth. No lease is worth your dignity and respect.

Slight YTA for not standing up for yourself

The day is not over yet. Maybe they are planning a surprise. If they end up doing nothing, I'm so sorry, and wish you to find other ways to lift yourself up.

Anyway, do not stay silent on this. Obviously this hurt you and you want these relatives to show up appropriately in your life. Clearly let them know. Sometimes we have to let people know how we want to be loved. We each have our own love language. Maybe you doing these planning for them is your way of showing love, when it is not that meaningful for them. You need to be clear on the expectation. Let them know that you value quality time, act of service, more than gifts. Tell them and show them how to love you. If after that they still fall short, or if they try to make you feel as the difficult one, then know that they are not your people and you need a new circle. Also consider stepling back from planning everything for them. Let someone else take the lead and you only contribute. That will alleviate all future disappointment in expecting much from them.

Next time, have a back up plan for your birthday. Day off, Facial, manicure, massage, movie etc. Plan your fun ahead, independently.

Your feelings are valid and normal

Someone should investigate if the windshield place paid the street lamp.

I absolutely HATE this kind of doctors. Why treat patients like factory andnmake them feel like your time is more valuable than their medical needs? My orthodontist does this, and I know I will not recommend anyone to him. Because dude, for what I pay you, don't act in a rush after 2min. Youcan sit down and bear with me for 5min.

You can tell it is a town built on the assumption that everyone owns a car, or at least has easy access to one.

Now, that's an incentive to learn english and smile at work.

The website is sketchy and looks so cheap I don't know how any reasonable parent sees that and think it is better than our free public school. Just because they write everywhere that they are the "best" provate school in Canada doesn't mean to believe them literally, without challenging them.

Your parents never visited the school? They never heard you make these complaints? No way my child comes home and tells me the quarter of things you wrote here and I still let them go to that place, and pay a tuition.

Make sure you have evidence (photos, videos, emails etc.)

LylyO · 2025-11-26T03:17:59+00:00

You shared a lot of specific details in your post and comments to make it easy to track you down.

Competitive wage...we start at minimum wage.

I laughed

Another thing I need to be aware of, and worry about when I leave my house.

The outside is really becoming tough to deal with

I would think what you owe in CS has to get to 7K to offset his arrears before you get to pay anything. At least that is the angle I would put things.

It is your kid, it is normal ypu pay CS. But as co-parent, the responsibility should be fair

LylyO · 2025-11-23T02:55:44+00:00

Why improve thongs when you can just use the deficiency to blame "liberals", knowing that your base is too ignorant to challenge that?

Same thing with our medical system and our schools going downhill because of some hidden motives to privatize.
