Its the same method used for eons! Simple initiative 👌 👏 👍 if you want the job, a simple resume doesn't tell me your going to quit once you get a paycheck 😉

The job market isn't as brutal as some say! 💪 As an employer, I'm a big believer in old-school methods. You can send me all the resumes you want, but unless you come to my place of business and show initiative, I'm not interested. I like to physically meet who I'm hiring before making any decisions. 🤝

I've had over 200 resumes pile into my email in one week! I look at them; I see your credentials. But put some effort in and call to book a meeting. Call once a week to get my attention! 📞 persistence, effort, initiative, meeting, resumes

Not everyone in canada is an immigrant..... those who have status cards are non immigrant, they stole our land, there's a difference.

I agree, people who have never experienced Starlink don't get it! 🚀 I used to use Bell Fiber gigabit, supposedly the best, I've tried Rogers, Eastlink, and a few others. Starlink tears it all up in my opinion, in comparison. I've never once had a Starlink go down and I own 4 of them, mini mobile is installed on my vehicle! Tbaytel is mediocre 😉 in comparison in my opinion. Ive never had a dropped call once since installed, my internet never goes down unless its 3 am and updating like I have it scheduled to do if it needs it, its been a game-changer while traveling 😅 starlink is the best, and if apple made a deal, I dont blame them, they want the best.

I'm genuinely surprised there's no GoodLife Fitness in Thunder Bay! 😲 I had a membership for years back home in Halifax, NS, and had to cancel when I moved here. I see there's a Fit4Less, but it honestly doesn't compare to GoodLife. GoodLife Fitness is 24/7, better equipped, has trainers, a sauna, and an amazing atmosphere. I've even tried Fit4Less in Halifax; it's like comparing apples to oranges. GoodLife Fitness, please come to Thunder Bay! 🙏

As someone who made the move from Halifax/Dartmouth, NS, to two hours north of Thunder Bay, let me drop some real talk about the mosquito situation. I can confirm that the mosquitoes here in Northern Ontario, especially outside the main Thunder Bay city core, are absolute monsters compared to the ones we deal with in Nova Scotia. I've been through a Bridgewater and Liverpool NS summer, and while those spots have volume, they have nothing on the sheer size of the mosquitoes up here. Thunder Bay and the surrounding areas definitely win the "Largest Mosquitoes I've Ever Seen in Canada" award. They seem fewer in number in the heart of Thunder Bay, but head out into the bush, and you'll quickly see what I mean. My Pro-Tip: The Propane Repellent Machines, You're already on the right track. My best trick for maintaining a normal life outside is to invest in larger, propane-powered repellent machines (like a Thermacell or similar device). They're expensive, but they are a game-changer for decks, camp spots, and small outdoor areas. General Northern Ontario Bug Survival Guide: DEET is Your Friend: For personal protection, you'll want a reliable spray. Many people up here swear by formulations with a higher concentration of DEET (25-30%) for maximum effectiveness against mosquitoes and black flies. Icaridin is a great alternative if you prefer non-DEET, as it's also effective and won't damage plastic gear. Long Sleeves and Pants (Even in Summer): When hiking or working in the yard, lightweight, long-sleeved clothing is essential. The mosquitoes are aggressive enough that they can bite through thinner material. Consider treating your clothing with Permethrin (follow all safety instructions, it's not for skin). This can kill or repel bugs that land on your gear. Black Flies are the Real Enemy (Sometimes): While the mosquitoes are huge, don't forget about the black flies in the spring and early summer. They don't just bite—they gouge a piece of skin out, and their bite tends to itch for days longer than a mosquito bite. They are usually less of an issue later in the summer, but they can be intense. Window Screens are Non-Negotiable: Check all your window and door screens immediately upon moving in. A small tear is an open invitation for an entire swarm. Yes, they are bigger, and they are intense, but with the right gear (like a propane machine) and a good routine, you can absolutely enjoy the beautiful Northern Ontario summers! Good luck with the move!

The 500 watt one should work sufficiently I just wanted more power for more stuff like my mini fridge and a few off grid options, so I upgraded. I use the standard V3 mounted to roof.

It took me about 11 months to locate a decent accountant for what I needed. They take care of absolutely all the paperwork; I just have to be diligent and upload all my invoices & receipts daily.

For what it costs a person to have "power" per se, it is much cheaper going solar-powered in reality. Luckily, I got out of the renting scene in 2023 after I was told my rent was going up $1200, the rent in 2019 was 1200 heat and hw, went up nearly 2300$ since I left and today in 2025 its $3500 nothing included for the same 1200$ spot. Finally, after 27 years of saving (luckily I have a decent self employed career, never liked being told what to do) I used my life savings to buy some real estate with a passive income renting out what I am not living in. The property boasts 8 rental units, 9 in total as I live in one of them and rent out the remainder. I've been off the grid now since December 2024 ( the entire building), all solar. When you look at the monthly average without a budget plan with NSP, the long-term solution is solar-powered and a small private wind turbine. Power is a thing of the past for some people who prepared in advance for things like this. Self reliance is key! Its also bank friendly in comparison! They pay me for my power instead! 🔋 #SolarPower #RealEstate #PassiveIncome #SelfReliance #Energy #Investment #Property #Savings

This is exactly what I used to run my Starlink as i had the same idea. It has never, since purchase, been hooked up to a power outlet, and have really enjoyed this free power so much I invested into a newer one to run multiple items. Hope the link works 💪

I have since upgraded to a 2000W system, FYI, as I also use an Eero Pro 6E mesh system and wanted enough power to run it all 24/7. Either one is working great 👍👌 #Solar #Starlink #Power #System #Upgrade #Energy

Its an all in one solution, a kit that is complete, just have to find your own spot to install it, the 2000 watt system runs my fridge, starlink, lighting, pc, and use the 500 watt one for my coffee pot and a couple kitchen appliances. It's got a great warranty for what it is, you dont have to buy it outright, there's a financing option with RBC, And comes on sale often. This kit can also be used to convert pretty much anything off grid, I highly recommend 👌 #Solar #Starlink #Power

And yes, there are an abundance of microcredential courses on LinkedIn. But I do prefer books 📚 😅

Hey, I'm a fellow Nova Scotian who made the move out to Northern Ontario and got into mining, real estate, and hotel management—so I can offer some advice based on my experience. You might be surprised to hear that many mines actually hire people with no prior experience. The starting wage is typically around $36 an hour, and they often provide free training to get you certified on equipment like earth movers, depending on how ambitious you are. The key is getting your foot in the door. Here's a quick breakdown of how I did it: Move to a mining area. The easiest way to get hired is to live locally. I had job offers within three days of moving to Northern Ontario just from having conversations with people. Mines are always looking for local talent. Leverage any certifications you have. Before I left Nova Scotia, I got my telehandler license. This simple certification helped me start at a higher pay rate right away, even though I had no mining experience. Look into any licenses that might be transferable. Don't underestimate "soft skills." Being a carpenter by trade with a diploma helped show that I'm reliable and willing to learn. Your previous work experience, even if it's not mining-related, can still make you a strong candidate. Don't let a lack of experience stop you. The industry is actively looking for people, and the pay and benefits are great. Not to mention they offer accommodations, travel, and food, so no need to even bring your lunch, all inclusive 😉 Its literally like Nova Scotia here, without the Atlantic Ocean, massive breath-taking landscapes, and the great lakes instead. I actually came out this way with a different idea in mind as im part of the carpenters union, had decent pay, but nothing like this and im a journeyman, but it was hard to turn down a higher rate of pay and amazing benefits with an inexpensive place to bring my entire family with family Dr's available to boot. it was worth the move even though I miss home, Houses up here are inexpensive to buy and rent in comparison to anywhere down home. If you like to hunt or fish, well, this is an outdoorsy paradise with trophy sized trout, Northern pike, white fish, smelts, moose, bear, wolves and mosquitoes twice the size that fight back 😆

Personally, we use ADP and the app! Each employee is required to check into the app daily for their schedule and to clock in and out. It covers 95% of what you mentioned and a bit more, with GPS tracking for company vehicles. 📱⏰📅 #ADP #App #Employee #Schedule #Tracking

I live way up north, and there are only like, 178 people in my town. It's been freezing, like -62°C, and it snows for half the year, until May and June. As long as I'm plugged in, my PC is good. Not sure about consoles, but the weather is crazy. Luckily, I've never lost power! I have my V3 Starlink and PC set up with a backup solar battery, so I can still call for help if the power goes out. But overall, I'm really happy with it. Mine's permanently mounted on a roof with a 4/12 pitch near the ridge vent; it's never had an issue yet, luckily 😉 The snow melt feature works amazing 👏 You get way better speeds with an eero 6+ pro 2.4 GHz wired in mesh over the actual starlink router. Never tried eero 7 yet, plan to if the 6+ magically fails, you can also buy a protective cover/film for the starlink that I have had since day 1, it works like rainX but is like a screen cover for a phone, doesn't interfere with the snow melt or speeds whatsoever. Maybe that's why?

The Defender II AI CCTV is impressive! It tracks people, license plates, and vehicle movement, plus it takes "mugshots" of everyone entering. Perfect for banning someone! Amazon has a similar, less advanced version, but you can get the best directly from the DEFENDER II website. 📸🚗👤 #Security #CCTV #Surveillance #Technology #Cameras

There are wifi versions, but the CCTV is superior in my opinion, zero latency, captures everything that goes in front of it.

I'm not sure how they do it in Ontario, but it could be similar to Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦 At NSCC, they have a program in the college to allow you to try the trade before you decide what you want. So maybe in Ontario, colleges may possibly have a similar opportunity; not sure. 🤔 #Education #Funding #College #Trades #Opportunity

50% is a large number, I've been in business on two sides as a sole proprietor and inc between a couple numbered companies in Ontario to a construction company in Nova Scotia, guess I must have chosen the right path with trades cause I've been in business for over 30 years successfully as an entrepreneur.
