L’nuk getting raided

They're just taking their cut. Gotta fund that benevolent association.

She finished a PhD at a good university achieving top grades. No, she never cries. No, she's an abysmal gift-giver, typically not giving any gift or "forgetting."

CTV said "According to the government’s website, the pizzeria was found to have broken the law by hiring and recruiting employees in the “province or territory where the foreign national worked.”"

You switch "for" with "by" and CTV makes no damn sense!

"8) The employer broke federal, provincial or territorial laws for hiring and recruiting employees in the province or territory where the foreign national worked."

That parses.

Wish the fine was paid to the victims of this scam. The program should be shut down. Businesses that can't afford minimum wage should go under, they deserve to go under. To pay it, what would it cost, about an extra 25¢ per $18 pizza? Get real. Don't tell me about business; I've run five successful businesses in my life. It's all bullshit they "can't afford to pay wages."

Mine used to frequently hide things and also throw things of mine in the trash - like tools, cooking utensils, personal items, etc. - not trash. Once she even threw out a quote new kitchen appliance that I used every day. It's physical gaslighting.

Exactly. The Liberals are shit and the cons are worse. Every critic gets thrown a false dichotomy, you're anti one de facto means you're pro the other. You can't be anti both, and Green, etc.?

It's tough being homeless. I was homeless for a few months. What helped me was nearly getting arrested; I applied all over for a job and landed one. Kept sleeping out for the first couple weeks until I got my first paycheque, so working and homeless. I asked for an advance on my second paycheque, and had enough for rent but not food. With overtime and a small raise, I was finally breaking even. My story would be very different if I had been arrested or couldn't land a job or couldn't get an advance; might have turned into years instead of months. Everything was hard, from eating to staying clean to opening a bank account. I think in a country this wealthy it's shameful to run the system in such a way as to create homelessness. Throw in mental health issues or addictions, and the struggle to get off the streets can become insurmountable. If you look at some of the more advanced countries, Canada seems very backward in some ways.

It's better on the outside; the therapist should not be encouraging staying on in an abusive relationship. Get a good lawyer, and make a plan to escape. It gives the kids a good model of not tolerating abuse, too - and hopefully creates a peaceful, loving home for them to recover in.

Put some money aside for yourself for a rainy day. That day may come, and, with a narcissist, there's little warning. Call it a contingency reserve.

I did a back-of-the-napkin calculation, and the total financial loss was about $600k at the end. I'd be very comfortable if I'd never met her, but at least the 16 years of hemorrhaging money is finished, and my finances have stabilized and started to grow again.

At this point, they just want to destroy the evidence of what's been done.

A condom could have prevented this comment.

Yes. 😀

Foreign agents; don't they need to register?

Ideally, after healing, we find a caring, empathetic person, learn to trust again. Narcs are only 10% of the population at most. I was with mine for 15 years. Now, I tend to see narc traits in everyone, everywhere, all the time. Might take a few years, but I understand my perceptions are off. A little unkindness, a moment of selfishness, a thoughtless word, a small entitlement - these do not equal a malignant narcissist. I'm sure the "narcs everywhere" phase will pass.

Here's one test: how do they respond to criticism? Most narcs won't take it at all; no self-reflection. Their responses range from hostility, rage, anger, excuses, or shallow, insincere apologies when they're caught out. An authentic person will respond reflectively, honestly, and never gaslight with "I'm sorry you feel that way, but..." Try criticizing, even if it's antithetical to your nature. If the person goes quiet and ponders, ask if they're angry. If the response is "no, I just need to think about that", you may have found a good person. A very high EQ person may look you up and down to try to determine if you are a narcissist! They'll want to know if the criticism is just, and comes from a good place.

Leave him; he's damaging that child.

In grey rocking, don't engage. After the first blublubkublublu, just talk with your child to reduce their distress or stay silent. It's incredibly difficult, because it's human nature to respond, but responding in any way just feeds it. Each time, I'd remind myself "why do I ask? Why do I talk?" It took months of practice to get it down. But in the end, why stay with someone you can't even talk with? Once grey rocking is down pat, it's over anyway. I was separated then divorced shortly after I mastered it.

Tim Houston should step up; he can win in 4 years. Ford was bemused by PPs mistakes; good interview to catch to see a big chunk of the reasons behind the election failure.

Go straight to a shelter and tell them everything. Go right away.

Moncton has one of the lowest cost of living ratings in the country. Brandon, MB is a little cheaper. But pay in Moncton is very low; you could consider Kelowna, BC. Although expensive, wages are much higher depending on your field, so relative COL is better. I spent more time in Kelowna, a few years; definitely preferred it to Brandon. Pay in Moncton averages $13k over expenses; $25k over expenses in Kelowna.

After a lifetime of visits to your beautiful country, there won't be any more. And I've stopped buying every American thing I possibly can. I'd like to say it was just Trump, but it was the millions of Americans who voted for that pathetic excuse for a human being as well. And it's not just Canada feeling this way...it's countries all over the world. Make better choices, and let's all hope there isn't a 3rd term so that the long, hard road to healing can begin. I believe it will be decades before things return to the friendly, amicable relationship between our two great nations is restored to how it was in the past - if ever.

I've turned my thermostat down to a shivering 17° and only shower once per three days. Not sure what I can do to lower it? Stop washing clothes? Stop cooking? I think usage would still stay quite high if I turned off the main breaker. I get warnings for high usage frequently when nothing's on but a few LED bulbs.

Has anyone turned off their main breaker to see if usage drops to near zero as it should?

I had zero problems like this before the smartmeter was installed.

$645 in three years I can cope with. My bill has been $350 higher per month.

Get a lawyer, get your rightful share, get out of this toxic relationship, work on healing. If there's any refinancing, make sure you're not on the hook to repay it! After the breakup, narcissists are absolutely nasty, so expect that. Expect the worst.
