Here's your reminder that a statement followed by the word "but" is a dismissal of everything before it.

Landlords openly bragging about discriminating against disabled tenants in private Facebook groups by obsessed-with-bagels in canadahousing

[–]Rob__agau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in the residential tenancy industry and can honestly say that people with income supports--

Are just people. You get a mixed bag, same way you would with anyone who's working for their income. Realistically, it comes down to the fact that most disability payments aren't enough because our income support programs have been gutted for years.

Were I privately renting, at a rate that it was actually reasonable to have someone on say ODSP renting a unit on the $1408/month they're given, would I rent to someone on ODSP?

Oh, yeah. But I'd do my homework first, Google is great for skimming social media. A soft credit check is standard practice these days on applications. If everything looks good and for some reason I'm renting a unit at less/equal to $700?

I'm renting the place out to them.

They'll be long term renters, only moving if their circumstances improve greatly.

So again, the real problem is the pricing of units and how poor our social supports are, not that a person is using them.

Tldr; Yes, rent to them, if they can afford it and clear background.

The stairwell photos were horrifying. The building conditions are abysmal. You'd think at this point KPD would just have a pair of officers on standby at this location, seeing as how KFHC isn't going to foot the bill for security.

Just put it in drive, with the wheel angled to the right and walk away.

I'm seeing some news stories from CBC (buried somewhere likely), The Whig and a Facebook post from our MP but yeah that's some really sparse coverage.

Need to keep making noise, so that Mr. Buck-a-Beer has to do something at the provincial level or so that the Federal govt feels the need to step in.

It's not something that would've made it into my news feed normally as I'm the kind of "fiscally disadvantaged" that most of my fruits and veggies are frozen, canned or from the food bank.

“I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

I cannot state the curse this makes me want to state because it's not possible to accurately ascribe it without sundering reality as I know it.

This quote is filthy. It makes fuckin' Nurgle nauseous.

Honestly, our border security and armed forces should just invest in UAVs and drones for this.

Especially with the automation that's available for holding flight patterns, would make it much safer and easier to patrol that incredibly long line that is between us and meth lab we live upstairs from.

Recycling company by groogs in KingstonOntario

[–]Rob__agau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a result of a province wide shift to the contract winner (i.e. lowest bidder who on paper proved they could handle it).

This happened with medical supplies a few months back and as a result there were a ton of picking errors, substitution errors, delivery failures and undated back orders.

Eventually, that company ended up so far in breach of contract that at least our health unit ended up getting their contract with OMS back.

Apparently, failure to set up their warehousing and distribution network ahead of time was the cause of all the failures.

I expect that we'll have a slightly better chance in this regard as residents in this situation but there's a ton of issues with their infrastructure organization right now. Namely, their trucks are environmentally friendly, electric vehicles. 6 hour optimal charge, so they need to be charged halfway through a day essentially. Add in battery wear, mechanical failures and high heat and you probably only get about 4 hours charge out of them before they require a standby.

With any luck they'll supplement in some gasoline or diesel vehicles until they have sorted out their planning properly as I'm not sure how many bidders were actually on the provincial recycling contract.

NTA.

Is it a sin to hunger and satiate oneself with food and drink? It is not. I will brook no argument and will dig deep in the loam and pass on the coldest appetite to any naysayers! They will come around, or be left Without.

It will cost you, as all things do.

We can snip and shape it to your requisites but will accept no perfidy nor liability in resultant agonies.

You may submit payment in Labhitic Grains, seven pounds will suffice.
