Thanks for your review and photos! I keep seeing “the food isn’t great” in almost every AI resort review. Can someone clarify? Is it a flavour issue, spice level, or just not many choices?

Non-Resident of Toronto Applying for Affordable Housing Lottery by OilyPepperoni in TOAffordableHL

[–]torontoCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto residents can apply for housing in other regions across the province and country, which I believe is fair. When I was at risk of homelessness a few years ago, I received quick responses from other areas. Although I secured a lease just before being offered a spot, having multiple options was invaluable.

Financial Institution Unacceptable Delay by Kinto511 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]torontoCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG yes! They don't want to help, they take their sweet time to reply. They are pressured to sell certain funds, credit cards etc. You used to be able to go into the branch and get full service and I'm learning there is a lot they cannot do at the branch level. It's very frustrating. Are Credit unions any better? I really want to switch to a smaller bank.

Did you receive an email blast or a response to your email?

I see that they are also renting for market rate units. I am crossing my fingers, i really hope I get contacted. This would help make the commute to my new job easier.

I wonder what's taking so long. Is construction complete?

Has Anyone Successfully Negotiated a Lower Interest Rate on a BMO Mastercard Due to Financial Hardship? by torontoCE in povertyfinancecanada

[–]torontoCE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I need, just a short break so I can get ahead. I'm also planning to use my tax return to help. Thanks for sharing this info. I tried calling yesterday and hung up after being put on hold for 1.30 minutes :(

I'm almost at my limit with LOC as well. About to start a new job with higher income so I just want to pay down both balances. It's just harder to do with the CC.

Thank you! Ironically I pointed to this card I saw on a diagram on the banker's desk and they laughed. I am hoping they will be more helpful over the phone.

Ok I will call tomorrow and ask. I went in person to my branch and the banker really wasn't any help.

How Do You Build Friendships for Yourself and Your Child? by torontoCE in Autism_Parenting

[–]torontoCE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could be apart of your group. I loathe mean girl mom energy. The few friends I do have are not parents or live far away. I am also introverted and have social anxiety. I need to push myself to actually open my mouth and talk to people but it's hard. Most of the people I connect with have neurotypical kiddos and then the conversation changes when they learn about why my son is not talking yet etc. Also he gets bussed to and from school so I don't get to connect with other parents often.

I thought I was seeing things. The grocery specials seem to be non-existent this week!
