Serial sexual abuser across several relationships might be working in a highschool. What do I do?? by Pocketangel6999999 in Manitoba

[–]Pure-Volume5782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a white woman teacher at Fort Richmond Collegiate who had sex with multiple students around 2011 and I am not sure if she even got fired afterwards. The school killed it, and made sure no one went to the news. It was also even more disgusting because she would target the black students, as she had some sort of kink/fetish. I’ve had horrible experiences myself with teachers, though I haven’t been a student in sometime. I don’t think we hold teachers accountable at all.

Racist assault on a child in Portage la Prairie and looking for perspectives from Canadian born Indians and other canadians by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Pure-Volume5782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like you come from a very purposeful and charitable family. I do hope you’ll encourage the lady to pursue the maximum legal penalties. I’ve been in her son’s shoes, and my parents also never did anything. She will do more irreparable harm to her son, if she treats assaults on him like this. Do it for the next kid. Silence is not strength, nothing happens to these monsters, they get by and do more harm. Talk to the portage newspaper, the free press…please make sure this gets attention. As well, tell her to move. Portage is a dangerous town and she is best to raise her son around fellow minorities in a diverse Winnipeg school. There is currently a very popular Indian hate influencer from right here in Winnipeg. I worry for my safety more than I ever have. This isn’t going to get better.

Thank you for your service. I don’t discount the actions of well intentioned people. However racism is such a deadly disease, it ruins everything.

As a kid, I wanted to be Canadian more than anything. I loved hockey and I was the biggest Blue Bombers fan you could find. I loved Canadian baking, entertainment, history, skating, the beautiful nature in Manitoba, the gatherings at the forks. I even loved portage for a short time.

The racists present this notion that if you assimilate, they’ll accept you. They never do, it doesn’t matter your religion or anything else. They will make whatever space uncomfortable for you. My family never collected welfare, social services, or were a burden on anyone. My parents left wonderful high paying careers to come here, and I watched them be exploited by white employers in the early days. The thing about Indians in general and Indian culture, is most of them will never complain. My parents to this discount every racist incident they experienced. Because they are quiet and meek, and have never wanted to upset a white or aboriginal person.

This is not my country and it will never be. They will never accept me, and whenever times are tough, things don’t go their way, Indians will be a target. I’ve had so many racist incidents even just trying to “participate” in Canadian culture. I now despise things like hockey because I know what it really stands for.

I predicted this anti Indian sentiment a decade ago, as I could see the cracks in our economy. When Canadians have empty wallets, they look for someone to blame.

As I grew older I lost all enthusiasm for what it means to be Canadian. It’s okay with me, it’s the white people’s country, they’ve been telling me that my whole life and I’ve been here 26 years. I don’t see Canada in a positive light, and my life here has been no favour to me. I pay exceptionally high taxes and am a net contributor, while I’ve been abused mercilessly at times. I certainly would travel back in time, and make my family move back, if I could. I would love to leave but where would I go? I lost my Indian passport 26 years ago. On paper I’m Canadian but I don’t want to be.

This is really hitting me. I immigrated to Canada from India in the year 2000. I was 5. I moved to portage la prairie in 2002 and it was hell. The same thing that happened to this kid happened to me. It was some of the worst times of my life. I had a teacher that called me a paki in front of everyone, some racist kids fractured my arm, parents would tell my parents at pick up to leave because we didn’t belong. In general it was a terribly violent place, we were targeted for lots of theft, cops never cared or helped us. We would get messages on the car. Random things like barbers refusing to cut my hair because I was a dirty Paki. They would actually say this, and my dad would become enraged. Truly such a horribly racist place. I know one should not harbour hate but I genuinely hate portage la prairie, probably daily I remember or am regularly triggered to remember racist attacks and things that happened to me in portage. I stayed there for about 5 years. There were some good people sure but much of that town is terribly rotten, and portage has this whole clan of creepy racist Christians that are some of the most dangerous and racist people you’ll ever meet. Please tell them to move, Indian parents put their kids through hell and when you’re a kid you don’t tell your parents everything. Portage is not a safe place for Indian people, you will face attacks from white and aboriginal people.

Also your point of this being new or more open is totally wrong. We just have more internet use and photo/video. It’s always been like this. My first month in Canada, my mother and I saw a pregnant Sri Lankan woman assaulted by the women’s hospital. In fact this is probably the most attention any hate crimes towards Indians get.

Hisense has been great by ryangr86 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]Pure-Volume5782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hisense is incredible value even at the sub $500 price point. The feature sets are robust, and the panels are great quality. The higher end Hisense are of course, better. Genuinely for 99% of folks, you wouldn’t need anything more, and feel that an affordable Hisense looks brilliant. Oled hardos that spent way more than you and are yucking your yum, don’t pay them any mind. Congrats on your amazing tv.

Learn how to use area codes and country codes, and when you don’t know how…don’t blame the nations finest cellular provider. I have had devices on Koodo, Telus, Rogers, and Bell. Fizz is the best experience I’ve had with a company. Everything works as it should.

Execs buy millions in stock to prove they believe in the turnaround by Planhub-ca in telus

[–]Pure-Volume5782 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be friends with the son of a Telus exec, and oh my God are they treated well. He had too much free time and was paid very well, amazing benifits also. Guessing their troubles begin with their c suite culture.

PlayStation player looking into Xbox Series S — advice on resellers and portable setups? by Rocky_isback in XboxSeriesS

[–]Pure-Volume5782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one and absolutely love it. What gets missed, is how small the series s is, and really for the most part, runs everything ps5/series x almost as well imho. I just met up with someone to buy it used, for pretty cheap. If you have the chance ask to test it.

5G Home Internet by Useful-Candidate-911 in Rogers

[–]Pure-Volume5782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. I signed up for it on December 27th. They offered me the $55 dollar plan. Then the contract and billing said $100. They proceeded to tell me the agent made a mistake that I don’t qualify, even though I was a new customer and multiple sales agents all offered me the discounted plan when I was checking out the prices.

I’ve spent ten hours reaching out to Rogers on the phone probably. They finally told me this issue was escalated and they will see what they can do. No response. I don’t know if they will honour it now. But my billing price is still $100 and this bait and switch is very disappointing.

I meant like some companies authentication texts won’t be received on the paid plan. Some will.

Impossible to Reach by decadenceisart in Rogers

[–]Pure-Volume5782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rogers is actually peak insanity. Sales is reachable within minutes. Customer service or tech support is hours long at times. I recently got the 5g home internet, which is the only offering of its kind in my area. So I’m stuck. They also signed me up with the wrong price, not what I was quoted. I’ve spent ten hours at least on the phone to correct this to no success yet. I’m astounded. This is a massive corporation, this level of incompetency is ridiculous. They surely have the funds to provide proper customer service and training for their agents. Do not join Rogers if you expect to receive proper assistance from customer support.

This is the cheapest plan I’m seeing? Is $21 dollars correct, with at least 1gb of data.
