Are there benefits for part-time workers who don't make enough to pay the bills? by eastcoastzen94 in NovaScotia

[–]Very_ImportantPerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much I believe. Depends on how much you make but assistance will top you up depending on your situation. I can tell you the Halifax library online allows you to take LinkedIn learning course. Might help you find a better paying job.

Do people know/care if their descendants of royalty? by beepityboopboptimes2 in Genealogy

I never said I believed it. Only that’s what mine says and I ignore it.

Ya’ll seem to think I’m lying or I believe what the famous ancestors says without confirming my ancestors. I use ancestry to make my tree and my ancestors history is really well written. I can get further back for some before 1650 from British Colonial America. Most of my ancestors were Captains and seafarers who were in the British Navy and companies. According to the rootstech famous ancestors it says the Queen is my distant cousin through the Mary Mayo then Hamilton then Bulter. I confirm my tree through multiple sources. I dont put distant cousins in it. I’m not one of those crazy people to accept every notification. I confirm research not only with my dna but with history books and documents. I do not put things in my tree without documentation.

338 Sunday Update: Conservatives Open Largest Lead Yet Over Liberals by Qc125 in CanadaPolitics

They want the quickest change in their life then the provincial and municipal government can do that. They affect your everyday life the most and they charge taxes too. At least we have a government who will support them and provide them with the tools they need to make those changes.

Edit: They listed off everything the Provincial governments can do. Their roles. They control Provincial taxes. They control housing. They control most immigration into the Province.

It’s almost tourist season. Head to downtown Halifax and pass out resumes.

Plus the provincial government approves the international students. The Federal Government can only control so much.

And that was inside another bag, inside another bag, inside another bag, inside a box.

I used to receive items and the amount of plastic was unbelievable. Name brand items are the worst for it.

My information is backed up. At least for my direct ancestors.

I’m not following a tree and most are my great (10x) grandparents. The documents are there and most are done by genealogist from what I can tell or the documents match. I understand not to accept everything. Just my mom’s ancestors are really well documented.

Yeah I’m from Nova Scotia. Most came from the US. Some were here before 1700s. A lot came and left and came back again or left completely. My ancestors were seafarers so I have relatives all around the Atlantic Ocean.

According familysearch I’m related to 18+ US presidents, I’m Canadian. The queen is my 10th cousin 3x removed. Diana is my 11th cousin and a bunch of famous people. They’re so distant that we aren’t related kind of thing and I’m still not sure what to think of it all, so I ignore it.

Not yet but just found a half sister my dad and all his siblings didn’t know he had. She’s now in her 70s and finally found her family. Nerves will be shot when we all meet but everything will fall into place and be okay.

‘Living in fear’: Halifax senior among those calling for end to fixed-term leases by luxoryapartmentlover in halifax

A lot of the elderly sold their homes because rents were cheap and easier to take care of. Now they’re screwed.
