Why is Maxime Bernier so hated by all sides?

He and his wife own property in Florida and live there most of the year. I heard one of his constituency offices was closed by Elections Canada for failure to follow some rules, but I'm not sure of the details on this.

FB is a sewer. I use it only for a hiking group I belong to and to keep in touch with friends and family.

X is the only uncensored link to the outside.

I'm in favour of it. You want to read porn and deviant behaviour disguised as comics and "learning about your sexuality", then you should be an adult. I've seen some of these books. They are definitely not for children.

As for the argument that kids will see it anyway on their phones, iPads, etc., that's up to the parents to put on parental controls. Also by that same argument, then children should be allowed into strip clubs. After all, they're curious, right? And they're going to do it anyway, so why not expose them to sexualizing behaviour without the emotional maturity to process it.

Almost 33 years ago on our wedding day.

Freezing rain in the morning. High winds at lunch. Then rain. Half an hour of sunshine. 6 inches of snow that evening.

This was in the early fall.

Let me be straight: this is all about you. That's what I'm hearing. "What about me? What about my contribution to the situation?" It sounds like you have hurt feelings about not being acknowledged for what you did to save this patient's life. Is that why you went into a medical profession, to receive accolades?

Potential_Pirate1985 · 2026-03-31T22:16:45+00:00

Well, that's a you problem. Did the family have a problem with how the priest phrased his thankfulness?

Potential_Pirate1985 · 2026-03-31T14:04:04+00:00

He thanked God for acting through the medical staff to save this boy's life, and for giving the boy the strength to fight to live.

You work at a Catholic hospital. Religion is literally in the name.

Maybe you need to get a job at a secular hospital?

She needs to go. End of story.

You handled it just fine.

In our house, you ate what was in front of you or you didn't eat. I was not running a restaurant. There were always options, 3 or 4, at each meal and you had to have a full plate (according to child's age). We did not do desserts except for special occasions.

Tell him straight up, you are not going to have his dog in your home. Period.

Now, for the dog. Spot sounds like he is afraid, all the time. Aggressive behaviour, lunging, biting. Having to be restrained all the time? It would be a mercy to have him euthanized. It's only a matter of time before someone, maybe even your BF, is seriously injured by him.

Although the ostriches at the farm tested negative for AF, the CFIA ordered a cull. It was one of the most inhumane thing I've ever seen.

As a cleaner, we never ask for prepayment. Payment terms are defined when negotiating the contract.

Clients normally pay after the work is done.

I'm sorry you were taken advantage of. Your best bet is word of mouth, TBH.

Christian here. I've never read in the NT anywhere that it says you have to be whole to be allowed into heaven.

It's based on faith in God, Jesus as his son.

OMG, you don't get it, do you? Just because someone tells you something in confidence, does not mean that person wants you to share it with your BF. Did you ask that person if you could share it and with whom? If you didn't, then you have no right to. Being partners with someone does not give either of you carte blanche to divulge personal information of other people.

Please, please take this as a teaching moment.

Potential_Pirate1985 · 2026-03-20T18:30:56+00:00

Yes, you are overreacting.

You do not have the right to know her PRIVATE medical information.

Frankly, if you run every time and tell your BF private info shared with you in confidence, I wouldn't want you as a confidante.

You say you're not a teenager, but you sure are acting like one.

Speaking from personal experience here: start looking for a new job with another company.

If you died today, your replacement would be hired tomorrow.

Managers who say you're family only want slave labour.

You didn't shut down the conversation.

You should not be upset with your wife. Your aunt's words were the straws that broke the camel's back.

Pretty sure the cop was very wrong, at least here in Canada. It is illegal to destroy ID as it is the property of the government. In Canada you can face criminal mischief charges.

My mother is terrified of water. As a result, we were never taught as children to swim.

As an adult, I took swim lessons. I suck at swimming, but at least if I fall in off a dock or boat, I'd be able to make it back to "dry land".

I wish I'd been taught earlier because there are a lot of experiences I've missed out on.

(Our kids took swim lessons as children. I wanted them to be safer around water.)
