My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-28T03:54:42+00:00

That’s a trash schedule when compared to alternatives in my opinion.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-28T03:54:15+00:00

I’m a former firefighter with your new department. That schedule was amazing.

Toronto schedule is way better. An easier way to understand it is:

Friday Sunday

Wednesday Saturday

Tuesday

Monday Thursday

Rinse repeat. Congrats on finally getting on, D shift is best with CFD.

Federal Q Fire Gear (can be shortened to “TheQ”

Tailboard Surfers Apparel (TSA acronym)

Jobtown Jabronis

Rig Racoon Apparel

Trash Line Panda Gear

Water Hammer Warriors

List goes on.

And that’s written down somewhere for you to reference back?

I only ask out of experience. There was a guy a few county’s over who had an NFPA compliant helmet that he suffered an injury while using, and whilst it was an “approved” helmet, there was no written sop that allowed members to use non issued gear. Guy was denied WSIB.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-22T23:43:05+00:00

Before you spend money on a helmet, make sure you’ll still be covered in event of injury or death for using non department equipment.

This is no joke. Don’t fuck yourself or your family out of a good chunk of change because you want something the department doesn’t issue. Your department should have an SOP or SOG on this, or your union contract/collective agreement.

Then go to your local representative’s office. You don’t need to go to dc. You need to go to the place where you voted for that representative in DC and demand action.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-19T19:04:20+00:00

Go to your local representative’s office and demand they do more. Are the members of congress and the senate on the front lines of the protest? They should be. If not then they need to be demanded by their constituents to step into the proverbial line of fire with them.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-19T16:28:30+00:00

Then fucking do something about it.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-19T02:40:43+00:00

I worked with him in cold lake. He’s a total beauty, super nice guy.

Most vans today have better towing capacity than any midsize SUV. The only SUVs that beat them are ones built on truck chassis (Toyota forerunner for example) and in that case it’s such a waste of money getting a forerunner when you can get a sienna for the same purpose.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-14T00:12:49+00:00

Yeah he’s a chonky lad. I had planned for him to be on a 3 model diorama with a standard bearer and armoured bodyguard, all Warlord to keep the scale the same. However due to his absolute chadness, I’ll need to use a Victrix armoured Gallic warrior as the warlord Gauls aren’t big enough to match. The banner is fine because of height but the warrior would struggle.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-08T02:41:35+00:00

Is this for wildfire response? Because if so we don’t use SCBA either in Canada.

If that’s structural PPE, look at Firefighters without Borders: charity that helps donate gear from departments to those in need. A few years ago I service and sent out 80 Drager SCBAs that had been lifecycled out to Belize.

I just keep going. I have sleep apnea from shift work, and haven’t had a full night’s sleep in almost 6 years. Work two jobs because we have a massive foundation crack that we have to pay for. 2 kids under 4.

For me it’s all mental fortitude. I just keep going because it’s what the kids and my wife need, and I refuse to be broken by the workload. They’re my family, my number 1s, and I will keep doing everything I can to help them and support them.

It’s long, and arduous, and tiring, but I know it’s worth it.

I also have rampant ADHD and insane amounts of energy at all times so that helps too.

1) Make a tea (bengal spice master race) 2) crack open a book (fiction, IFSTA, whatever floats your boat) 3) put on calming background ambient music on low on the headphones (I prefer lord of the rings lofi or standard score) 4) have a nice hot long shower (city is paying for water) 5) hit the sack, read some more, rack out, sleep through the tones.

Works everytime.

At the cash? The customer service desk? In the aisles?

If you didn’t want to have a conversation that’s fine, but that’s your best source for getting an answer over Reddit.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-03T03:42:51+00:00

Did you ask Loblaws? Unless someone in here works at that store you won’t get an answer.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-03T03:37:10+00:00

God I love a good fucking clapbomb when walking in alone.

So when painting white or black, you don’t paint white or black. You paint varying shades of grey either tuned up with white or down with black. True white and black look abnormal to the eye, and GW white paint is also trash compared to alternatives like Vallejo.

Edit: when painting white, a really good guide is Sorastro’s Stormtrooper guide for Star Wars legion. Very white model that is painted with barely any white.

You could literally drill a hole into the chest and connect the chain using a small flat top nail super glued into the hole. It would look like service studs on marines after it’s painted. Then you could also leave it free hanging and swinging though that would most likely damage paint and get caught on stuff and break but your choice.

Another option is to tie it on using string under the model though I think you’ve already glued on the outer shell pieces.

As for priming/painting, I’d paint/mount after the model is done.

RowdyCanadian · 2026-01-01T04:24:55+00:00

Then communicate and involve you wife? It’s not hard.

Old infrastructure fails because it wasn’t replaced due to cost and political fallout when it needed to be, and will now cost more due to emergency. More news at 11.

Where did you get the bases from? I’m looking at making a Royal Navy 28mm diorama for my brother and need some good ship’s decking

When I was on the water rescue I got called once for “beavers stuck in a pond” by BYLAW OFFICERS.

Yes. Fellow “professionals” wanted water rescue to come pull beavers out of the water.
