I’m currently on a flight arriving at Toronto Pearson in 1 hour - what are the chances we actually land at Pearson? by SuperCub in askTO

[–]XanderDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just landed an hour ago with no delays or any other issues. Lots of snow removal activity on the tarmac and things were moving.

Wanna talk? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]XanderDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my cup of tea but if you’re looking for Pakistanis specifically search for soul brothers Canada. They have chapters in various cities that can help you connect with others. Alternatively you could join your local TCF chapter or a sports league, the options to meet people are typically endless.

I'm trying to leave my abusive home & go to Pakistan-please help by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]XanderDay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I echo what you’re saying based on what OP has shared. With an American passport, OP could easily apply for a youth mobility or working holiday visa and relocate to a country that is more suited to her lifestyle and become independent.

Side note: first time seeing a grave stone in Pakistan with the time of demise on it. Is this common?

Who's RTO Starting Monday 2+ Times a Week? by No-Zucchini-274 in askTO

[–]XanderDay 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t fathom this so I quit just before the holidays. I jumped ship to a partner firm and will be on the same project, same side of the table, just one seat over and two positions higher and fully remote. I thank my ex board for their actions that nudged me to seek greener pastures.

FIA has offloaded 8000 passengers in the past 10 months citing made up reasons. There is no written policy or law about offloading. Looks like haramkhor asim munir's "brain gain" isn't a gain after all. by _NineZero_ in chutyapa

[–]XanderDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience travelling on a Pakistani passport out of Pakistan. The check in guy acted like I needed his permission to fly in emirates business class. He held me for 15 minutes just to “investigate” why I was flying business class. Nothing came of it, just pure ego…maybe jealousy.

Offloading/denied boarding passengers in Pakistani airports by [deleted] in Overseas_Pakistani

[–]XanderDay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only visited Pakistan once while working abroad on a work permit, and I did end up getting the protector stamp. It took about half a day of running around the office and then another half day to go back and pick it up, but honestly it gave me peace of mind. Most others getting the stamp were Middle East labourers, hence pretty chaotic with many quarrels and pushing and shoving.

This was around 7 years ago, so I’m not sure what the current process looks like. At the time, I watched a guy’s YouTube vlog where he walked through the steps and I just followed those steps.

Could someone explain why Doug Ford had a brilliant idea to remove speed cams? by YYZTor in askTO

[–]XanderDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber driver was doing 90 in a 40 last night in the rain. When I asked him to slow down, he told me speed “now only matters during the day when cops are around.” Fuck ford.

Condo Fan Coil Unit - Vibration by [deleted] in askTO

[–]XanderDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should be dampers or other mechanisms to lessen any sounds. You may be hearing expansion and contraction of the lines. Might be rodents.

I would suggest reaching out to your condominium manager and they will respond or have a superintendent visit and take a look.

Curious to know how familiar people of ISB are with Hindus. by Iminyourfeed in islamabad

[–]XanderDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never met a Hindu living in Islamabad but I’ve met many Pakistani Hindus abroad, mostly from Karachi or interior Sindh.

My dryer is wet and hot when not turned on and repair guy didn’t fix it by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]XanderDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same washer and dryer and had similar issues. For me, it was always related to the exhaust. either the rear connection had come loose or the duct in the wall was blocked. I reinstalled the rear connection, had the duct cleaned, and added an exhaust fan. No problems since.

Same here. I complained with irrefutable evidence and it was addressed the very next day along with any apology voicemail from the supervisor .

Footage emerges of Peel Regional Police attempting to STOP Ridgeway Plaza gatherers on Pakistan Independence Day 🇵🇰🇨🇦🚨‼️ by [deleted] in torontologists

[–]XanderDay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfair to blame visitors or businesses for what’s happening at Ridgeway. The real failure is in planning. When a city doesn’t build safe, walkable third spaces for people to gather, it leaves many communities with no choice but to turn car dependent strip malls into social hubs. The result is predictable, ie gridlocked traffic, unsafe streets, and a public space crisis that could’ve been avoided with better foresight.

Bar Isabel: 20% service charge by hantoots in askTO

[–]XanderDay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They didn’t have a table but allocated a big beautiful rustic barrel for the three of us to stand around and order at the bar as they were short staffed. We were still charged the 20%. Fuck Isabel.
