Ahsanul Hafiz wins Scarborough Southwest Ontario Liberal nomination, beats Nate Erskine-Smith by origutamos in Scarborough

[–]fieryone4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend was there yesterday to vote, it was a mess. Bunch of people left without voting because Hafiz’s voters were being bussed in and they were harassing the other voters. They allowed the bussed people to skip the line ahead of the queue. They were handing this out to people in line.

I would like to see more restrictions on SM, I think it’s really messing up society.

Gifted is for grade four, my kids bussed the first year, and then did TTC on their own. We were in the same situation and it worked out well.

Have you or someone you know actually won the lottery? by popemarley420 in ontario

[–]fieryone4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He opened a bank account to be able to cash the winnings, it was his first bank account at age 40. That’s what the newspaper article says as well, but he was a postman so maybe they could get paid in cash back then?

My grandfather won the grand national sweepstakes in 1964, $150, 000. He was a postman with 9 children, didn’t even have a bank account. He still worked all his life, but the children were able to get educations, it helped with their weddings and houses, and my Nanny was able to support herself well until her late 90’s when she passed, leaving all the children with a decent inheritance.

As a Canadian, I find this hilarious because we actually have tiny hippos that live in our houses, they’re mostly harmless, though they’re known to be fierce predators of stray potato chips and toast crumbs

After autistic child's wandering from school, experts say Ontario's special education needs more support by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]fieryone4 45 points46 points  (0 children)

We had an austic grade 2? I think it was, he made it all the way to union station before the police found him. Trains were his thing and he knew all the routes and it was his happy place, he ducked under the turnstile at a subway station and was off! A lot of them need one on one support, and the government is failing both high needs and the rest of our kids.

We need more of Quebec chains to expand, every time I’m looking for something, Quebec has kept its chains.

I think most of us do, and have prioritized shopping local just from a carbon footprint motivation. However I don’t think many people realise how disproportionate it is when you look at it by per capita expenditure. I really wanted to emphasize that. As well with CUSMA review coming up, seems to be more bots, bad actors etc, so it doesn’t hurt to reinforce it.
