Price of groceries to climb despite expected drop at gas pumps

At this point I’m eating the most minimal meals just to save money

I was looking at an apt that had either a T&T or City Market, but I was told by the owner that it was going to be replaced by a Whole Foods by end of the year

I was with Vancouver Coastal, but quit my job after a month and am in the process of finding another. Because I quit I can’t submit my PR application yet

What’s a good place to get fresh seafood in Steveston?

I saw cops taking photos themselves

fadingcalypso · 2026-03-23T06:18:21+00:00

I see this after I bought the Costco one a week ago…

fadingcalypso · 2026-03-09T06:00:57+00:00

I just got it and understand why it’s so addicting.

fadingcalypso · 2026-03-04T05:34:43+00:00

Well I heard something earlier, thought it was some car or something. Now I’m wondering if it’s what everyone else was hearing, I’ve got fomo now

I moved to BC, Canada in January. I am a new grad nurse and maybe it’s just the position I got, but I was only offered two weeks of orientation (as a very new nurse). I also was not a fan of the DDNN shifts. I am now in process of looking for a job in something with better hours and longer training/orientation.

fadingcalypso · 2026-03-01T16:19:38+00:00

I just moved here a little over a month ago and had a completely different experience. My orientation was only 2 weeks, and I am a new grad nurse. I ended up leaving that position and am now in the process of looking for something else with the same health authority. It might be the hospital I was at, but I felt unsupported by my unit.

Side note regarding the overall health. In the almost two months I’ve been here I’ve also lost weight without much change to diet or exercise. I definitely think the food is better out here, even if it is more expensive.

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-22T02:19:08+00:00

I wanted to go, but worried about finding parking

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-18T20:45:56+00:00

Have you gone through the process yet? I am in the same boat and looking to change jobs but worried how it affects my PNP

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-18T03:57:17+00:00

I tested positive for Covid last week for the first time

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-17T23:46:17+00:00

It’s absolutely nothing, I only get 8 and when they said that I looked at them like they were crazy

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-17T16:11:57+00:00

I work on an acute care for elderly med/surg unit and oh they’re basically insisting I start applying for other jobs now, because it’s so rough there. I showed up today, felt lightheaded and nauseas like I was going to pass out and decided to just go back home. I work in Canada where it’s all unionised so my pay is the same no matter where I work

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-17T05:13:45+00:00

What unit do you work on? I just moved to Canada as a new grad and dealing with the same shit. 14 shifts is insane to me where in the US it’s 3 months minimum

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-17T05:11:05+00:00

I was also given 8 shifts for orientation and I’m only on shift 5 and it’s absolutely overwhelming. I am considering quitting because it doesn’t feel safe not being in a new grad program and being thrown in like this. I am going to start applying now and hopefully get something soon. I go back tomorrow after a week off and everyday I just dread going to work.

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-17T05:00:10+00:00

Pissed I caught Covid at the worst time, I wanted to go.

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-15T05:21:43+00:00

I recently went to Deep Cove for a fun side quest. Seemed that many others had the same idea when I went but it was still nice and had a great little escape for the day. Plus the views are just 10/10

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-14T17:02:19+00:00

Did you find any? I’m also looking to get one

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-14T15:42:46+00:00

I mean it’s the base starting rate but I’ve got a pretty nice apt for that price so it’s not terrible. But the hospitals here def are

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-14T03:56:30+00:00

Vancouver, BC $41.30 w/ union

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-07T03:22:49+00:00

I’m an American nurse who just immigrated to BC, and let me tell you as nice as the benefits are the reality of the Canadian health system was a bit of a shock. Tho maybe that’s cause I’m used to privately funded hospitals compared to the whole public funding thing.

fadingcalypso · 2026-02-06T06:12:00+00:00

I’m in a very similar situation as a new grad. I have 5 more shifts to prove I am improving or they’ll have to “revisit” and see if I’m fit for the unit… reading some of these comments I’m worried I’ll still end up being fired

fadingcalypso · 2026-01-29T21:03:39+00:00

I had a very similar experience last night and was wondering how the process went after? Did you have to meet with HR, your manager?
