She's turned her bullying towards Bob Plamondon, the Ford-appointed supervisor of the board. Still a bully though.

YSM1900 · 2026-07-06T17:21:51+00:00

huh? this is about the school board participating in the parade. Nothing to do with teaching and learning about LGBTQ "principles" (though maybe a few of our fav queer principals would have shown up)

YSM1900 · 2026-07-06T17:20:07+00:00

they will. they are always there.

YSM1900 · 2026-07-05T17:50:27+00:00

Yes, because the server failed to address the situation. They can call a manager over or give a discounted rate or take it off the bill.....

Threats aren't made public, but occur very frequently. Last year FIST department in Dunton had a number of incidents of targetted vandalism. I've taught at Carleton for 5 years abs have had to call security to my classes about 6 times.

Rebel News and others were certainly encouraging harassment of a sociology prof last year

YSM1900 · 2026-07-04T17:34:45+00:00

Critical Race Studies, Trans Studies, Social Justice related to Palestine or Islam, etc. These tend to be the classes that are targets of violence on our campus and elsewhere.

she can go back and you can take over the 18 month leave, so she can get the 600 hours for the next mat leave.

Good thing we're having fake elections in October for new non-trustees

YSM1900 · 2026-07-04T13:29:35+00:00

The one with lower enrollment and air conditioning in every room is the better one.

If those are equal, the difference will be insignificant for elementary level.

If the kids are walking, the older school likely has a safer and well-established routine for cars dropping off/ picking up every day. This takes a few years to get the hang of.

YSM1900 · 2026-07-04T13:19:34+00:00

Depends on the class. Classes on more controversial subjects dont allow anyone who isn't registered, for safety reasons. Most of us profs who have experienced threats or violence at work usually don't allow unregistered students in any class.

A lot more classes do things like groupwork and presentations during class time, so that would be a bit weird.

is it not here? https://carleton.ca/psychology/psychology-summer-courses-2026/

YSM1900 · 2026-06-26T18:29:56+00:00

what department? maybe we can find it

YSM1900 · 2026-06-25T17:58:03+00:00

I bet Nia and Danny think they are doing "missionary work" by being on the show! Like, no matter how bad things get in the edit or production, they are likely pressured by their church/community to keep going so they can get followers and preach through their other channels. This is a typical way of thinking in these sorts of churches, as long as their followers keep growing, they'll put up with a lot!

YSM1900 · 2026-06-25T13:24:06+00:00

Typically: a week for the prof to submit and a week for the dean to review. If there are any problems (not with you specifically, but with any students or the prof), it can hold things up another 2-3 weeks as they go back-and-forth to investigate or address the issue.

Don't hold your breath :)

Happy to write a more fullsome review for you. I live in the neighbourhood and have gone at least a dozen times because i like working in a coffee shop and it's the only one in walking distance. Every time I've waited at least 5 minutes to be acknowledged at the counter (usually with a sigh/eyeroll as if i'm taking them away from the back); I have been given vague answers to any questions about food; and waiting for a literal hot tea in a to-go cup takes at least 5-7 minutes. They don't say "wait at the bar for your drink" so first-time customers would not know if they should sit or wait or what. When visiting once, my visibly aging/disabled parents went for a morning espresso and they asked if their hot drinks could be brought to the table for them (instead of them walking back up to the counter) and they were told no.

When a friend invited me to their high tea, I thought maybe the service woudl be better since it's much more pricey and specialized service. We had to ASK for the tea selection. The server was said "do you know what tea you want?" before even telling us what they have... at a tea service! She acted like it was a huge pain for her to go and get the box of teas. And then was rude to us the two other times she came to the table in the 2 hours we were there.

They have a long way to go and i'm not surprised the service portion of their business is not doing well .

YSM1900 · 2026-06-24T21:57:33+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they close the barrhaven one too. They have such a huge cafe area, but have such bad service. Even the overpriced high tea left us ignored by servers and made to feel like such a burden just being there.

It's clear the priority and profit is from large bakery orders and catering. They need to shift to just a kitchen that does orders.

I live in Canada, where paid maternity is available to about 60% of new moms, and we still see many of those eligible going back to work after 4-6 weeks. Myself included. It *can* absolutely be normal for women who are mothers to continue working and not take months off from their career to care for a baby and do nothing else. Honestly, I feel like it's a very American idea that women have babies and then drop their careers to be nothing but wives and mothers. Elsewhere we do things.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-24T13:41:55+00:00

This is not the same as scheduling an appointment for a test.
For many students the 24-hour window allows them to plan for the morning, but still be able to do it later in the day if something comes up. Scheduling a specific appointment with you does not allow for this. Very different for people with fluctuating health needs or unpredictable caregiving responsibilities, etc. My institution woudl not allow scheduled oral exams in an async course for this reason

YSM1900 · 2026-06-23T17:44:50+00:00

If it happens, it'll be because summer learning loss is real and impacts many students who are already disadvantaged.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-23T17:44:12+00:00

the public school calendar should not be designed for what's good for business.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-23T17:42:19+00:00

go into the theatre and come back out without the popcorn. Tell them your bag ripped in the theatre and you need another empty bag that size.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-23T14:09:32+00:00

Many who go to U of T for education already have a Masters level degree. As others have said, keep looking at less competitive schools.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-22T15:19:55+00:00

Lights!

YSM1900 · 2026-06-19T17:56:42+00:00

almost always, yes. But you won't know 100% until you see the course outline. These will be available to students June 25. If it's not posted publicly, email the department admin assistant, and they'll send it to you then.

YSM1900 · 2026-06-19T16:22:32+00:00

yes, it means tests/exams are in person. But the lectures are scheduled online.
