I’ve been telling everyone I know to sign, even those without any interest in video games, as stronger consumer protections are always good 👍

As mentioned by @JohnnyCanuck

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it’s the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

I’ve applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it’s nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won't solve Canada's underlying issues - The Hub (thehub.ca)

The bottom line is that immigrants, students, and workers chose Canada over centuries because we sustained high levels of growth and high standards of living. Canada’s declining affluence over the past decade undermines this pull factor.

Everyone that I know who moves to Vancouver from abroad and moved back cited Cost of Living as one of the main factors.

When I moved from Vancouver to London(UK) a few years ago I was shocked at how cheap food and basically everything else was, even after exchange rate things like milk and veg were 2-5× cheaper in the UK. The only thing that was markedly more expensive was energy and natural gas.

Ffs. In a way I’m glad I live in the UK and can’t justify watching the game live…

Šilovs won the mad dash to the puck, [btw]!

Oh, thank fuck!

I recall watching a few games at 4am when I lived in the UK. It was hard to know whether to stay up or sleep and set an alarm…

Yeah, my alarm for work is 4am…so not even an option 😭 the only exceptions I make are on my birthday(late Feb, and it’s been 6 years since there wasn’t a game literally on my birthday) and if we make it fairly far for the cup…

I had a fan trip over her own feet and land on top of my head at a punk show over a decade ago. Folded me in half backwards. Pinched my sciatic and messed my lower back up really bad. 10+ years of pain, and I definitely got lucky that I didn’t end up worse off…
