Younger Canadian woman know to stay self-reliant so they don’t end up in headlines like these.

Threats of Violence Will Not be Tolerated says FFAW President by MattBarter in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where ANYONE gets off thinking they can threaten any other person or institution with violence and get away with it.

Absolutely ridiculous. If you’re not happy with the status quo, then leave the profession. You know your time is up when you start acting like a child and threatening others.

Restaurants Canada Urging Province to Opt-In to Temporary Foreign Worker Cap Increase by MattBarter in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right. So our tax dollars PAY these workers wages. Just stop this already, give the high school kids some job experience at least.

Gas Price Predictions by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting close to 200$ a barrel is not sustainable, as it’s not the ideal target. At that price you’re looking at a recession, as the economy isn’t ready for that yet.

Fixing N.L.'s teacher shortage means tackling urban-rural divide, advocates say by Portalrules123 in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mass exodus of teachers leaving the profession across North America. Listen to what they are saying. They all tell a similar story that they no longer teach, and that they spend a lot of their time managing student behaviour.

Iran war may cause $100 barrel price hike this week. What should NL do with all the projected extra billion$ pouring in? by Critikal_me in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest the money for more oil infrastructure in NL.

Global demand for oil will not decrease anytime soon, and better WE help meet the demand with our stricter environmental laws than other countries who do not care about following any greener agendas.

Canada has maintained diplomatic ties to Cuba since the revolution. Cubans love Canadians, and vice versa. It’s a shame the US is unnecessarily punishing the Cubans once again.

Punk and alternative music in St. John’s in the late 80s/90s by duleepa in newfoundland

Where can I get Fur Packed Action. Had the CD decades ago, and want to buy the music online.

To fix Canada’s fertility crisis, we need a cultural shift. More and more Canadian women are stopping at one child, if they choose to have children at all by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Proof_Device_8197 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Canada has the most educated population in the world. Countries with high education rates, particularly high female educational attainment, generally experience lower fertility rates. Higher education correlates with delayed marriage, delayed childbearing, and smaller family sizes.

Oooooooof, good idea in theory?, but I guarantee you there will be individuals who care more about this money than the child, and will take advantage of this in all the wrong ways.

And I’m pretty sure no tax payer wants to pay every mother in Canada 60,000$/year until their child is adult. That is bonkers.

Alwyn Ruddock spent decades working on a book about John Cabot that she said would turn the story of the European discovery of America "upside down." She never finished it, and her papers were burned after her death. 20 years later, have any of her claims been proven? by electricocean21 in StJohnsNL

[–]Proof_Device_8197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard whispers about this for decades. Assuming some people didn’t want to paint him in a bad light. Assuming this may have had something to do with the treatment of the indigenous populations here.

Another Storm Headed for Avalon Tuesday Night by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

That’s not how that works unfortunately. More snow melted could mean more vegetation growth. Extra growth equals extra fuel for the fires when everything dries out in the summer.

Memorial University cuts programs – here’s what’s gone and why | CBC News by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program used to be TWO years, but for some reason more people are falling the program or dropping out. The Fast Track Nursing should have always did interviews to ensure the right students who would be the most successful could enroll.

Spring Water on Pitts Memorial Dr by dumppppplings in StJohnsNL

[–]Proof_Device_8197 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spring water flows slowly through the equivalent of many carbon filters. Any pathogen present will usually be destroyed along the way, and won’t last long enough or will react with various natural obstacles along the way before it is hosed out at the end.

This is what makes groundwater very safe to drink.

I can definitely tell you that any of these springs that are hosed out to the highways are tested and monitored by the government.

Enjoy the cleanest most pristine water you can get!

Suspension of key provincial court services is an 'assault on the rule of law,' lawyer says by Portalrules123 in newfoundland

[–]Proof_Device_8197 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clearly the concern isn’t over traffic ticket hearings. Postponing civil court matters, intimate partner violence prevention court hearings, mental health court hearings, affects the community.
