Study shows youth suicide attempts linked to mercury poisoning at Grassy Narrows | Rabble.ca
  • That community is a disaster and it's understandable why given the history. I've been there a handful of times for work and hope to never return. The people are just off.

    As a refugee, I hated Canada until one specific night. Now I see this as a stage in a journey
  • Not sure if you're failing at Dad jokes or just generally being pedantic but this isn't helpful or funny. Take that shit over to Reddit if you must be that way.

    Construction labour crunch leaves Canada in need of boosting ranks of home builders
  • There really isn't. We build through the winter in Winnipeg and it's miserable. A union carpenter can make 100k with a bit of overtime though so some guys will keep signing up....but not enough of them.

    Cops refuse to cooperate with investigations
  • The Union in Winnipeg is powerful enough to bankrupt the City not only morally but financially as well so I'd say ya.

    They also cover up for drunk driving cops who murder civilians and keep abusive cops on the rolls but that's standard right?

    Veterans quit DeSantis’ Florida State Guard over militialike training
  • If Georgia goes Blue in the next election, clearly there's voter fraud that Florida will need to investigate for the sake of the Union.

    Nothing funny about the Governors commitment to democracy here.

    S/ just because there are really stupid people who actually believe that shit.

  • Kinda feels dog whistley to you too hey?

    Could be because I'm a Jew, but member of the tribe is a pretty familiar phrase over here.

    No shame
  • Because in the past when I've lived in places that have had this happen, the situation grows rapidly and the park near my house became unusable for the neighborhood. If I start to see this trending in that direction, I will absolutely be contacting the City Councilor as well as the police to prevent it from escalating. I'm not willing to have my neighborhood get turned into an encampment, and if you think i'm a bastard for that, I'm fine with that.

    I work with a homeless shelter in town, they are aware of his location- I saw him up on their board the last time I was there. That means he's been offered assistance and has declined it. That is often because of drug usage issues, even though this shelter doesn't require you to be sober to use it.

    No shame
  • I'm in Winnipeg... I live in one of the 'nicer' mature neighborhoods, with parks and schools every couple of blocks. This is happening everywhere.

    Some dude who appears to be experiencing some housing issues pitched a tent in the park I walk my dog in daily. We play with the kids there quite often and it's a hub for families in the area with a Jewish education center and old folks home surrounding it. The homeless guy doesn't appear to be bothering anyone and keeps his area tidy.... I'm a bit torn as to whether or not to report him or ask the cops to rustle him out or whether to just leave him be. Having him relocated isn't solving anything, and might just put him back under a bridge where he likely isn't safe to stay. I know he'll be gone by winter though, if he starts lighting fires to keep warm he'll be gone in a hurry.

    What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?
  • Make Crocs acceptable to wear at all times. Is that really too much to ask?

    I saw a guy wearing bright blue ones covered in charms not long ago while out for dinner at one of the top 100 places in the country and thought "ya, that guy looks comfy af, I bet he's loving this meal" and wanted to feel that way.

    Pints on patios, but not in parks — why drinking alcohol in public spaces is still such a big deal
  • The least enforced law in Winnipeg based on the lady's I see at the park daily with their Mommy juice not so discretely tucked away in their Stanley or Yeti mug.

    Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers — and shoppers who despise receipt checks
  • Am I the only one that hands my stuff to the staff member standing there and asks them for help? I really don't mind saying I don't understand how those things work, as I truly don't care enough to pay even the slightest bit of attention to them.... If there's a staff member just standing there watching, why can't they help me as a customer?

    I'm always polite about it, except that one time at Dollarama where there was 4 people standing there acting like I was being rude for asking them to ring me thru a till rather than use a self checkout. That time, I just put my stuff down and walked out. If they don't want to help me, I'm not giving them my money.
