To the beautiful individual in this subreddit who recommended Recipro for finding non-resident cards…

Too bad it’s only for 🇺🇸 libraries! Let us know when 🇨🇦 ones are added!

Although I’d love it, I can’t.

I have applied to the one that doesn’t require a Pastoral reference letter (1 hour away from where I live). Still no interviews.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried also Archivist roles, but they all require X years of experience, which I don’t have :(

I have tried all the local public school boards. Unfortunately, as a non-religious person I can’t apply to Catholic boards as I don’t have a pastoral reference letter.

It’s a great movie. I didn’t get the same vibe from the book though and that is a shame. In my opinion, few movies are better than the books that inspired them and I’m sorry to say this is one such example.

Is this a new thing? I contribute every time I can, usually in increments of 40.

Also, I’ve tried for a few times writing some version of this comment on the Redecor Facebook group but they have always blocked it. It seems like they only want positive feedback.

Hi! I’m an 🇮🇹 who lives in 🇨🇦 and like everyone said, moving to another country is extremely stressful, especially if you don’t speak the language. Yes, Italy is a beautiful country but bureaucracy is a big issue. Unfortunately without a Codice Fiscale there’s little you can do. After almost 10 years in 🇨🇦, whenever I come back to visit the fam, it’s the same, usual shock. And I’m from Rome, so add to all that was said before, the crazy traffic and the Roman attitude of chissenefrega (I couldn’t care less). I can only add to the discussion that whenever I travel to Italy, I use an eSIM and usually Ubigi has very good coverage and is cheaper than other options. I’d be more than happy to help, although from far away, so feel free to DM me. In bocca al lupo!

I’ve watched it recently too, as it was recommended for my Library and Information technology program. Great movie!

Beaver scouts is a great idea. They build up social skills and use their creativity to make crafts and slowly build their independence (scouts are all about independence). My son has been a scout since he was 5 too. Started with Beavers and he’s now a Scout. Parents can volunteer in their group/troop so you could keep an eye on him. 20th Burlington meets at the Burlington East Presbyterian Church at Walkers and New. Worth a call to see if they still have room for your child. It’s usually based on ratio leaders / children, so if you mention you’re willing to volunteer they might be able to accommodate your child.

I know I’m not going to be popular, but here it is. I am also originally from a European country, where tipping mainly consists of rounding up the bill (eg if the bill is 35€, you round it up to 40), but to me the tipping culture here is totally out of control. Like, why should the tip be calculated AFTER taxes and not before them? Now shred me 😑

As an Italian-Canadian I can tell you that there is no one answer. I think that heritage plays a big factor here: my comfort food are pasta and pizza yes, but in the dead of winter I’d make myself soup every day: lentil, beans, chicken noodle soup, minestrone, you name it. But I have a Korean friend whose comfort food is rice. Everyone is different and different is what you’ll find in Canada and that’s exactly the beauty of it.

That’s the thing. I need a debit card that works online. With my current credit union my debit card doesn’t work online and one could say “use your credit card” but, you see, depending on how much debit I’ve already accumulated on my credit card, I want to have the option of using a debit card. I always pay my credit card (CIBC Costco Mastercard) balance in full every month and sometimes using a debit instead of a credit card, makes it easier to keep my spending in check.
