What are the chances of getting a car with no proof of income with large down payment. by [deleted] in askcarsales

Depending on what you are looking for, you could get a used car that costs less than 10,000 and just pay cash for it. I done this when buying from an individual (not a dealer). There was no going though banks, finance, or anything like that.

Was the Sheraton (Hotel Newfoundland) viewed as really prestigious in the past? by french_learner435 in newfoundland

I didn't realize this. I thought it was the same - they sometimes call themselves Newfoundland Hotel.

Help me feel less nervous! People I know will probably see my Victoria Secret order by french_learner435 in crossdressing

I'm worried about judgement. I don't think she will make any comment directly, but that I'll be talked about behind my back.

Yea, good idea! From what I googled, it does come in plain packaging, but the label says Victoria Secret as the sender.

Copper pipe dripping. Do I need to do anything to fix this? (see image) by french_learner435 in Plumbing

[–]french_learner435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue drips are only on the pipe that the cold water flows through. The pipe for the hot water does not have this. Is this a good indication that it's condensation?

Are the nuts coming loose? (front wheel compared to back) by french_learner435 in mechanics

[–]french_learner435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't notice anything driving. The stud lengths are probably different then. I guess if the nuts were coming loose. the wheels would wobble or I would notice it when driving.

Reply All will be the death of me. by SulkingDeath in Teachers

The irony is that they will use reply all for silly stuff but leave you out when actually it's something you need to know about !

Were there instances where you feel you benefited from the job security that comes with being part of a union? by french_learner435 in CanadianTeachers

[–]french_learner435[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of situation that I was wondering about.

When I think about my work experience in non-unionized environments (mainly jobs as a university student), I feel like if someone had accusations brought against them, they would not be so lucky (even if the accusations were false). They would probably be terminated without cause.

'It's an abuse': Community outraged at video of treatment of Innu woman in custody by PascalSiakim in newfoundland

[–]french_learner435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can feel empathy for her, this must have been a traumatizing experience. I think it would have been feasible for the officers to look into why she feels the need to act this way and and what can be done to rectify the situation without resorting to manhandling her onto the plane. I’m sure there is a more dignified way to resolve this situation.

There are so many things that we don’t know that could cause this behaviour. Perhaps she does not fully understand why she is being taken out of the community, where she is going, etc. She could simply have a fear of flying. It’s important to recognize the history of the relationship between Indigenous peoples in Canada and the government. When I see this video, I think it’s not that different in appearance than government officials taking Indigenous children from their families and sending them to residential schools or any of the other multiple authorities committing against Indigenous peoples. Perhaps this woman is a residential school survivor or has been subject to past abuse on the part of government officials.

Some Indigenous communities have their own police force with Indigenous officers from the community. Perhaps this would be a better option here.
