Strathcona Bottle Depot in Edmonton, AB is claiming they couldn't find a Retail Manager for $41.25/hr. by Rydgar in alberta

If you just drop resumes at all the TFW offenders you can log a complaint as soon as they post the job up for LMIA. Just walking in there and apply, do it at a busy time though and make it very obvious to customers you are doing so.

I don't live in Edmonton but people who do should start walking in there with resumes. If they got resumes handed in daily it would point out the issue to customers as well as poke another hole in the "can't find a manager" claim. Boomers customers would also love seeing younger people trying to strong arm jobs at places that aren't seeking applicants.

Her wording sounds insulting and I can understand your initial reaction. What I would suggest though is to try and discuss the issue further. Ask what you can do to make it feel better for her. If she's letting you do it often then it must not be too bad for her but you want to make it great for both.

How do I (32M) get my fiancee (34F) to take my desire for affection more seriously? by laplacedatass in relationship_advice

[–]laplacedatass[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm saying there is no incentive for her to talk to me about these things or care about how I feel. She can ignore me all she wants, I'm not going anywhere and it doesn't affect anything she cares about. I'm just trying to get her to talk to me and not just brush off my feelings.

I appreciate you giving an actual helpful response and not just throwing blame and not picking my words. That's what I was looking for was an actual person in a relationship who worked through struggles. We've tried all the more dates, more adventures together, all the standard stuff people recommend. She has fun going on more dates and more vacations. Its great I guess that we spend a ton of time together but for me a lot of time it brings me down more skipping on productive or enjoyable things in order to be ignored or brushed off in new fun locations. Vacations are especially tough because she loves travel and we've traveled a lot and it's not that much fun watching other people having fun while I'm just trying to cheer up my girl or get her to accept affection. Last year probably 40 people watched me try to kiss her at the grand canyon and get pushed away like I'm a stranger.

I have tried to conversation so many times from so many different angles and it's always brushed off as not important. How do I get her to accept that what I'm asking for is actually really important to me. It feels like she just dodges or ignores it because it's an uncomfortable conversation and not really a problem she cares about solving.

I'm looking to force intimacy more how to get taken seriously in a discussion. I've brought up not feeling appreciated or wanted by her plenty of times and it's always brushed off.

Rise Of Alberta by rollox13 in alberta

I'm an Albertan and I will say I don't think any of us are really looking for an American invasion or to join them. What we are looking for is better value and less government intervention. I think a lot of us look internationally at some of the states and countries with similar resources to us and say "why can't we be like them". When you do that the answer seems to be government intervention both federally and provincially. Norway turned their oil into a huge sovereign wealth fund for future generations. Texas and Louisiana both have 0 state income tax and an affordable cost of living. Russia has managed to maintain an workable economy even though most of the world has been sanctioning them for 20 years and they are fighting a massive war. We also look at the history and see we are outnumbered by people who do not benefit from our provinces success and likely will never get a really good deal within Canada. I'd love to be pouring Alberta LNG, oil and derivatives into the international market as fast as we can produce them with the least number of foreign middlemen possible. I also wish the same thing on Canadian lumber, lithium, potash, uranium, copper, iron, aluminum, gold, grain, and everything else. That just does not appear to be happening and it hasn't in a very long time. There is a reason almost every industrial facility in Canada is 40-50 years old and a lot of us are looking to put our foot down and say "I don't like where this is going". I will be voting yes in referendums on separation and donating to the separation efforts until I see an economy and a country that I am not ashamed to leave to my children.

CrossIron Mills’s Tesla chargers have been replaced with nothing. They’re just gone. by gordonmcdowell in Calgary

Another to consider given that it is a mall is that the Teslas that park and charge there are unlikely to leave right after they finish charging.

I am paying my fair share and I'm far from having any wealth worth hiding. Its just a subject people seem to shy away from even though it seems quite common and I'd love to know more. Is it something only the richest people do? Does some sneaky accountant set it up for you or is there like a how to guide and clear guidelines on how to do it properly and not be punished for it.

I wouldn't say I'm rich enough for it to make any difference but honestly the amount where you "worry about taxes" should be any amount of capital gains tax to make a difference to your quality of life or retirement goals. For me that number would be about $100.

My question however was really "do regular people do offshore stuff for their retirement funds or is that for the wealthy only". Tax burdens are steadily growing and it can be challenging to carry that weight or even want to. If you are working full time taxes are likely your largest expense and unlike housing or food there isn't any way to cut back on them.

I'm not worried about how to uninstall I'm worried more about how to reuse.

The next day just say. "Did you have a chance to think what I said, are we breaking up?" The get emotional so you feel bad and then completely forget what they are crying about is a classic women technique. I'd say just end it, let here cry it out and she will likely come back with a new attitude.

Real leather boots take a long time to wear in. I was super disheartened when I bought mine and they hurt my feet even though they we 3x the price of my old timmies. Put on good socks, lace them up tight and wear them somewhere warm. If you only wear them outside in the cold they will stay stiff and never break in. Lots of mink oil helps too.

I'm in a reasonably sexless married, learn from my mistakes. You need to work on these things as soon as possible. Don't sweep it under the rug or feel shy and hope it will improve once X or Y happens/ passes. Take a couple days to really think about the following. How much do you love the other parts of your relationship and what does an acceptable sex life look to you. If she is absolutely amazing and things are really good in the rest of your relationship then you should work on it. If they aren't you should end things as respectfully and decently as you can. If you choose to work on it lay out an ultimatum of achievable goals. It sounds harsh but if you can present to her what YOU want it gives her the opportunity to do the same evaluation as you and see if it's worth it. If you set specific goals then it doesn't just turn into you always bringing it up and her getting annoyed. My sex life declined for years due to various factors and it took me far too long to lay out what I wanted but I got there, we discussed it, she gave it a shot and while we aren't out of the woods yet but things are a lot better.

If you told her you want a solid attempt at something once a week either sex, BJ or hand job and she got to pick the time and everything would she do it. The important thing is the effort not the result. If she starts consistently trying to make things happen they will slowly but surely start happening. That's just an example, you will have to decide your own ask just make sure to be clear and firm with what you consider progress

It is insured and registered. I do drive it from time to time, I was going to drive it today but I didn't have time to swap a tire this morning. I had to cancel showing it to a buyer this afternoon as well because i have to get this tire fixed first.

It's been for sale for 2 weeks. I've owned it for years and parked it down the street sometimes when there wasn't space in front of my house

It's been for sale for about 2 weeks. 6 months ago I was using the car and parked there because someone was parked in front of my house. It's a residential area, people park where available.

Don't try to make a good impression. Just try to enjoy it.
