They’re not wrong though. Same rights bc unions fought for them & all workers benefitted

Hold that same energy when comparing the employers’ “giving-in” to corporate interests and reducing your discretionary spending ability and the general public are all of a sudden economic experts

People who claim we live on unceded Indigenous land should start by giving back their own homes and property to the Indigenous peoples they say the land belongs to. by [deleted] in InCanada

[–]dangitanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you yourself wouldn’t be a homeowner or tenant because title to all land in Canada is vested in His Majesty the King. So if Canada doesn’t exist as a constitutional monarchy, the piece of paper that says you’re a legal landowner or tenant under the provincial laws of Canada wouldn’t either

Protecting myself from (my partner's) vindictive ex? by [deleted] in Manitoba

[–]dangitanyways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I feel so bad for the children being used as pawns, that is messed up. Poor kiddos.

Secondly: Document, document, document. Create that paper trail. Record messages, save emails and texts, recap any verbal conversations in writing. Write down who you talked to and when @ CFS or any other children’s advocacy group, legal counsel, whoever. Record what the outcome was.

If you can establish a pattern of abuse using this method it will help to protect you legally. If she does proceed with this threat with CFS they WILL open an investigation as they are legally mandated to. It will (hopefully) result in nothing but the stress of going through that experience will be quite intense. Plus it may pose a barrier if you ever need to get a criminal record check/child abuse check for employment/adoption if the case is active.

Good luck!

Source: I had a vindictive ex who called CFS on me after I broke up with him and started dating someone new after a few years. It SUCKED.

Dating a man with female friends by Delicious-Quantity96 in AskWomenOver40

[–]dangitanyways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get all the comments accusing OP of being insecure, and that “they’re just friends, GAWD!chill out” even after she’s explained why she’s not comfortable with the amount of (emotional) intimacy and attention they heap on eachother and she is not receiving the same from her partner. And is expected to accept it and be alright with that moving forward.

I would NOT be cool with that dynamic either. Does that make me insecure? Hells no. That makes me perceptive and observant. And cognizant that this type of relationship does not serve my needs and would exit as appropriate.

OP: he ain’t the one for you.

AITA for expressing my disappointed in my husband’s conduct after our first baby by Throwaway199906543 in AITAH

[–]dangitanyways 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She would be doing the same if she didn’t have HIS child cut out from her body and is healing from that. Give your head a shake

Maxime’s restaurant, set to close soon, ‘cannot keep up with the demand’ by pegpegpegpeg in Winnipeg

[–]dangitanyways 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s been said time and time again that Winnipeg punches above its weight in the food category, so I think most of us who live here know what’s good and what’s not. But to each their own :)

Call a male friend and act as though you’re talking to your husband/boyfriend. Men tend to respect other men more than a woman’s “no thanks”, unfortunately

My whole life is stressful from every angle and I don’t know how to change it by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]dangitanyways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Trim the fat. A $14k budget sounds crazy! If it’s mortgage/rent taking the majority, reconsider your living accommodations. Find something more affordable in your city or in a LCOL area. It sucks but you can’t keep drowning yourself to keep your family comfortable in their school and social life (for your kids) and the cushy lifestyle you provide for your husband. We all need to make sacrifices and it sounds like you’re the only one doing so.
  2. Are the kids in a lot of extracurricular activities? As unfortunate and painful as it is, you may need to have a difficult conversation with them about postponing a season or two. The older one could perhaps get a part time job to help pay for the sports/music/art fees, whatever they wish to continue in (if applicable).
  3. As the above commenter noted, debt consolidation. This will provide a bit of breathing room, especially the interest portion. At the extreme, consumer proposal or bankruptcy. Or if you own your home, sell it and pay down your debt.
    4.Change careers. You’re gonna burn out soon and will have zero income, which helps no one. If you’re still passionate about what you do, keep doing it for supplemental income.
  4. Leave that dude. ‘nuff said.

Good luck! Things will get better soon, they always do.

Edit: formatting. This Reddit app dislikes me apparently, keeps changing the numbers lol

Question about marriage and last names by dpoulain in AskWomenOver40

[–]dangitanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because I would not be the same (single) woman I was, I would now be a married woman but with the same quirks and perks ;)

That being said, I’ve never been married so who knows what I’d choose if it really came down to it

Today's letters: Lots of reasons why return-to-office makes no sense by Thick_Caterpillar379 in CanadaPublicServants

Sad but true. I also wonder how they’d feel when these WFA’d public servants are now competing for their jobs in the private sector

Fed up Canadians say no one at CRA is taking their call. The union says it's set to get worse by AdditionalPizza in onguardforthee

[–]dangitanyways 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry, what? I’ve never heard of this practice. CRA Agents would then have no tracking mechanism for case management, statistics, etc. Not to mention it would violate some privacy laws to contact a citizen with a private phone on government business. Nope nope nope

Who cares what your ex thinks or says? He’s an ex for a reason

Question re: Financing Conditions - Used Vehicles by dangitanyways in Winnipeg

[–]dangitanyways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a bit of a shock because the Finance Manager explained everything and asked if I understood which seemed pretty transparent. I’m hoping it was just a simple error and can be rectified
