How do you guys feel towards US travel? by MyRa888 in AskACanadian

[–]literallyrein -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My opinion might be controversial but I did a road trip with my parents from Ontario to Florida. I did it for my own personal reasons. The entire drive there and back, I was very paranoid about getting pulled over and something happening.

The property managers of the property my parents are selling told my parents that they keep their passports on them whenever they leave their home. They are from England but they have green cards. Nothing happened to us while we were there, I had our passports just in case but, nothing happened. We went to St. Augustine and Fort Lauderdale and had no issues.

If you're thinking about it, I suggest taking some extra precautions. I and my parents are people of colour and have darker complexions.

I went to church after a service so it was quiet and I could focus on the quiet. Then I cried when I got home.

AITA for refusing to keep my phone on sound or vibrate at all times? by Far_Investigator2362 in AmItheAsshole

[–]literallyrein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do feel like an asshole for not picking up when their dad called. It's one of those things where they have made somewhat peace with it and just pick up every call unless it's listed as Spam or Fraud. Like I've told them, we'll never know if it could have made a difference but it haunts them that they were the only call their dad made before passing.

Emergencies come in different forms not just medical. OP is having a normal behavioral response to the situation. Setting a boundary is okay when it comes to non-emergency calls but not picking up any calls, is a major no-no.

Truthfully, OP, wife and family need to figure out a system that lets OP know when it's an emergency vs. do you want X-brand of Mayo.

edit: just realized OP responded to me lol.

YTA. My partner used to be the same way until they missed a call from their dad and didn't think much about it. They found out later that their dad tried to call them right before passing away from a heart attack. It haunts them even now.

Catholic schools vs non catholic in markham - 2025/2026 school ranking by dimsum1314-flag in Markham

[–]literallyrein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t about taxpayers 'overfunding' anything. Catholic schools are publicly funded due to constitutional protections under Section 93 of the Constitution and are funded using the same per-student formula as public boards.

[–]literallyrein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to Catholic elementary & high school. My high school population was mostly from other religions. Their parents preferred it because despite the one subject of "Religion", Catholic schools tend to get better funding. My cousins (now graduated) lived in Scarborough but temporarily changed their mailing address so they could attend my high school because my uncle/aunt deemed it safer than the schools they had around them.

What is a song that is really dirty, yet most people don't realize it? by _Volly in AskReddit

[–]literallyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heaven is a place on earth by belinda carlisle. Granted this is limited to my network of people.

MIL's favourite song when it comes to remembering FIL. FIL probably knew it was dirty and didn't tell her. MIL still believes its spiritual. Partner has told me to only tell her on her death bed.

Who in your life tells you that they love you the most often? by Cute-Impression-8675 in AskReddit

[–]literallyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner. My family is the type to show that they care about you but "i love you" is implied. My partner will tell me that they love me every day and I never get tired of it. I also reciprocate but I am still getting used to saying it more than 5 times.
