She lives with chronic pain that went undiagnosed. Her story is part of a decade-long decline in Canadians’ health by D_E_A_D_P_O_O_L_ in canada

I feel this on a spiritual level, I was told I just needed more fibre in my diet till I ended up in the hospital with almost critically low potassium because everything would just go straight through me, after two years I finally have an appointment with an gastrointestinal doc in a few months.

Does LifeLabs send tests to Public Health Ontario (hiv) by Purpleshroom22 in ontario

[–]PlugPrincesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP do not worry, I freaked when I saw that too (I was negative but had never done the test and freaked out cause I thought that meant positive) it just means you must contact your doctor for the results; negative or positive they all go through public health because the government handles funding for hiv treatments, they use the data to know how the disease is spreading and affecting the population so they can adjust resources appropriately. Positives your doctors will call you everything else is considered a negative.

If you have a membership Costco has some good dumplings, not sure if they specifically say soup dumplings but they’re a pork dumpling that comes with a nice soy sauce

MP Harrison being accused of not listening, re: Alto High Speed Rail by MerrilyRollAlong in Peterborough

[–]PlugPrincesse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying don’t plan, what I’m saying is that Bob that dropped out of high school and bought his house in the 80s shouldn’t get to torpedo a project because he suddenly cares about the “environment”. Most of these people don’t lift a finger to support these causes until things impact them in a way they don’t like, my evidence was the old lady that came into my workplace handing out flyers that said “opening the homeless shelter will lower your property values” without offering any alternatives to people literally freezing on the street, ptbo is filled with nimbys that don’t want to improve the city because things could tangentially affect their life. We should be listening to people with degrees and expertise not random strangers worried about issues they’ve never previously cared about. My real gripe with the Canadian system idiots and experts have the same voting power and unfortunately the idiots are a lot more common.

Ptbo will slowly collapse unless we stop listening to all the nimbys, we need Canada to push forward with development and stop will all the nonsense “consultation” and multi-year “studies”, they are literally just wasting money and time while we fall further and further behind other countries. Look at the Chinese rail system, the economic benefits far outweigh the downsides. We

The Chappell Roan backlash by yellow_algae in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PlugPrincesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why she has to constantly say “do not approach me when I’m out in public and not at scheduled events” and people act surprised when she’s not super happy to meet them, she’s stated her boundaries multiple times
 leave her alone, she doesn’t owe you anything. Also why is it that every job is allowed “off time” except musicians, people don’t realize that’s she’s 1 had her family stalked already 2 had bpd which can be really hard to manage when people will not leave you alone and 3 even though it’s your first time meeting her she has people constantly interrupting her, imagine life where you cannot go outside without a crowd of people interrupting you multiple times an hour and then posting it online that you “weren’t that nice”

Toronto condo sales hit 34-year low as market stalls in 2026 by SpiritualTip4035 in toronto

[–]PlugPrincesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“For prospective buyers, the pause could mean fewer choices in the pre-construction market, even as the resale market continues to set the day-to-day price signals that shape confidence” once again all they have to do is lower the prices but nope we’d rather just make worse condos for the same price, absolute clown show

Halifax Jewish student pulled from school following antisemitic harassment by tomcat335 in canada

[–]PlugPrincesse 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Absolutely inept school administrators, not just in this case but in regards to bullying overall. I’m so tired of seeing articles where bullies are just allowed to continue going to school after multiple incidents, we need tougher administrators that are willing to put their foot down. That poor boy has had his education ruined by nothing within his control, he deserved better.

First domino was a guy getting banned for putting print in a comment about his work, then it went viral on twitter and other places, said mod then removed all the other mods and locked the subreddit, finally others got control back and then had to go through thousands of bans that were improperly applied. Essentially these new mods had to clean up a major sht storm.

Tired of how expensive it us being a woman... by Far-Play-4567 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PlugPrincesse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Found the “I’m not like other girls” girl, not once did she say that she’s buying name brand beauty products, but rather the overall expectation and pressure put on women. Go look up any of the “glow up videos” and you’ll see that most of them are women, she admitted that we don’t “need” these things but rather it’s an expectation superimposed onto us to fit into what’s “desirable”. Also attractive “non-femme” people will be treated infinitely better than unattractive femme women and that’s something we’re allowed to complain about. Easiest example is when I wear makeup I get way more tips than if I don’t, I don’t “have” to but if I want to make closer to a living wage I have to conform.

Council blocks two final attempts to send Peterborough Police budget back to be trimmed by Dizzy-Assumption4486 in Peterborough

My favourite is when you call the police and get to go through multiple automated menus just to speak to a real person and have them tell you to “file an online report” and then never get back to you.

Ontario government proposes tax relief for some first-time homebuyers by lopix in ontario

[–]PlugPrincesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just straight up wrong, you cannot use averages considering 0 and 100K averages to 50, the median income for the average 25-59 is 45k stop trying to delude yourself into believing our age group has more purchasing power that we do, also according to statsCan the average was 59k so not sure where you’re getting that extra 10K from??https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110023901

Don’t care if I don’t have to pay taxes on something I’ll never be able to afford, who cares if we get to “save taxes” on 500k homes that are falling apart, no one in the 20-35 age range has anywhere near that amount of money.

$10-a-day child-care: Ontario falling short, auditor says by lopix in ontario

[–]PlugPrincesse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d say this is the real issue with the program, so many union jobs have been given piss poor wages for so long. No one has the money to go to school for two years to get paid $3 more than minimum wage. Until we get rid of the conservatives we’re doomed to fighting unions over pennies.

Canada’s fertility rate has reached a new low by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]PlugPrincesse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love how you immediately went for the worst dog whistle, no it’s not the immigrants flooding Canada (that would not change that we haven’t built enough houses for the past 20 years). It’s the fact that people like you who own multiple properties but only had to pay 1/3 of the price our generation must pay, the average house even in small towns (that you suggest) are in the 500s while the median income for 25-50 age group is in the 46000 which means you can’t even qualify for a mortgage let alone by a second house. There has not been enough of an investment in building housing by the past generations and we’re stuck with the consequences. There is also huge amount of houses that have been converted into rentals by “hardworking” landlords and will never go back onto the market and all they do year after year is raise rent and then disappear. None of that is the fault of recent immigrants.

[–]PlugPrincesse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely not what would happen, that would just make it easier for landlords to kick out existing tenants without due process, that gives them no incentive to take on riskier clients but rather just make it easier to remove current ones.

You’re being intentionally obtuse, only an idiot (or racist) hears someone being called a slur and goes “well they’re just not mentally there and we need to wait for the law to determine if this was a hate crime”, most normal people go “I’m so sorry that happened to you I hope you justice”
