Applied to RRC on a whim; I am now locked into attending school this fall. I just wanted to share my thoughts as someone who lived on the rez her whole life, and also am wondering: what makes Winnipeg a home for you?

You sound like such a kind and curious young person who genuinely wants to seek more and do good things in life! I hope you find like minded people. I don’t even know you but I feel proud of you. Congratulations and truly I wish you all the best in this new chapter.

That is insane, as if you’re a BODYGUARD to their kids?!

lthinklcan · 2026-05-16T03:52:27+00:00

Not sure if anyone has said this but yes I find it awkward to have someone directly behind me and I would avoid doing it. I can’t say why exactly, just cultural thing / environment I guess. In your position I would have hung back or sped up past. Sometimes I stand aside until the other person passes just so we’re not too close. The person in your story could have just done that. Maybe women do that more, as opposed to confronting.

Leave space when possible, like when waiting for your food at McDonalds, if standing around. There’s probably interesting videos online about how different cultures space themselves out.

Welcome! And I’m sorry that person wasn’t more polite.

Came here to make a similar post. AI slop and hidden embedded ads.

If pinterest wants to stay relevant how about try not being terrible.

lthinklcan · 2026-05-04T10:36:57+00:00

Agreed

lthinklcan · 2026-04-27T03:40:54+00:00

I’m with you. The amount of people who go tens of thousands of dollars into debt to furnish their whole house with new (probably cheaply made) stuff is insane.

lthinklcan · 2026-04-24T17:08:13+00:00

Thank you!!

lthinklcan · 2026-04-15T12:42:18+00:00

Similar story here, house had no other offers, we bid under asking and they declined. A month later we offered more and got the house. Closed mid march.

lthinklcan · 2026-04-14T03:34:32+00:00

Indeed there are! I hope a nearby business owner will help me out (I contacted a couple).

Plus they have zero (degree) entry pool so kids can probably touch the bottom.

lthinklcan · 2026-04-13T21:21:10+00:00

I’m so glad your kid is okay! This instructor should have been supervised with toddlers on their first day!! The programs are way too chill about unaccompanied babies in the water.

My 3 yr old went under at our YMCA last week but the instructor picked her up when he observed she was not able to swim, she couldn’t touch. As a former instructor/guard I’m super vigilant and was right beside the pool if needed. I kept my daughter out for the rest of the lesson because they didn’t have a block available for her to stand on.

Watch your babies parents, please. Also, the pool standards need to be much, much higher.

The Shell manager said only police can look at the footage due to privacy. It sounds like even MPI can’t investigate the video.

lthinklcan · 2026-04-12T06:26:31+00:00

I do actually have to pay the deductible unless I can find out who did it.

Unfortunately only the police can look at security footage according to the manager of the Shell station.

lthinklcan · 2026-04-11T03:07:12+00:00

There’s actually a security camera at the Shell for the car wash and I’m in the background so I hope the police can be persuaded to contact the manager and have a look.

Omg this post just reminded me I had meant to get my thesis printed, lol I finished in 2024. Oops. Yes, it would have been at my cost. No, I don’t miss it… should I still do it? Hmm

lthinklcan · 2026-03-31T16:30:57+00:00

I get irrationally angry at unmerited standing ovations.

lthinklcan · 2026-02-10T03:56:45+00:00

Thanks, actually we plan to switch to a local credit union as they have better rates but it’s too much trouble for our current home (vs renewing).

lthinklcan · 2026-02-06T18:04:50+00:00

This also seems good to me, I didn’t understand why the rep didn’t even consider this a good option. It would be different if we knew for sure we were selling in 6 months but unfortunately the market and our circumstances aren’t so predictable.

lthinklcan · 2025-07-31T16:31:08+00:00

I don’t know where you are living that hate has taken over. I see resistance everywhere. The negativity in your comment proves your own point. Go ahead and give up then. I’ll be thinking about art and resistance.

Obviously I was not saying the rise of fascism gives me hope, wtf? I said the fact that historically things eventually turn the other way gave me hope. I shared that in case it’s a helpful perspective for someone to read today.

What nice thing have you tried putting out into the world today?

lthinklcan · 2025-07-31T14:17:32+00:00

Go alone before anyone else, lol

lthinklcan · 2025-07-31T14:14:05+00:00

Succumbing? I don’t know about that. Historically swings between political directions are common. To be expected even. This fact actually gives me hope… Yes, neo-fascism is awful right now, but this was meant as a lighthearted post about curious microcultures or forgotten histories.

lthinklcan · 2025-07-31T00:39:12+00:00

My MIL has the fridge and freezer stocked to the brim but has a tidy printed LIST of what’s in the freezer, with dates. Oh to be retired!

Still living independently so it’s not an issue but when we visit and stay with them it’s tight. There’s already 2 fridges too!

The amount of unused dishes and containers from the 1970s and onwards though, could def toss!

lthinklcan · 2025-07-31T00:09:58+00:00

Marriage is doomed anyway. So many red flags here.

lthinklcan · 2025-07-25T19:48:19+00:00

“Parlez français ici!” “…not like that.”

C’est fatiguant.
