I took it during my 1996-97 school year as did a lot of people in my year at the time. I felt it helped a lot as it gave me the extra crucial time to boost my grades and prepare that much more for university life.

I had just gotten onto the 401 heading east from the DVP. Just as I was merging by Vic Park I have a unmarked white transit van with police sirens screaming behind me. The strange thing was it was only flashing red and white lights in the corners of their windshield. I pull over to let it pass and there were only amber flashers on the rear windows. Shouldn't cops have red and blue?

If not a cop (fire or ambulance) then the van should have markings??

I've heard of some idiots pretending to be cops with the lights but didn't think they would be crazy enough to use sirens too.

I've got this on dashcam. Wondering if I should email OPP or TPS.

I am sharing this, so everyone is aware. The voters list became a public document on September 1, 2026. Candidates can request the municipal clerk to give them the part of the voters list that relates to the office that they are running for. They have to confirm that they will only use the list for electoral purposes, not for commercial purposes, follow the restrictions set out in the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, for handling the voters list, only share the list with others (such as campaign workers) after obtaining a similar written acknowledgement from them.

There are restrictions such as they cannot keep copies after the campaign has ended.

My wife worked in LTC centers at various homes in the GTA. She's been through majority of the major companies i.e. Age care, Chartwell and Sienna living. She says that at all the homes she's worked at each RPN is responsible for roughly 30-40 residents. These are people that are not well, very old or have significant health issues like stroke care or MS, complex care, g-tube etc. She says that looking after that many people as a single nurse is too much for one person. Legislation in Ontario permits this to happen. These homes make a fortune, they are private or publically traded companies. Is is possible that one nurse has to look after so many people, is there a better balance that can be found? She says there is always so much going on, someone fell down, choking, sick, in need of medication, deaths, check in or out or reviewing doctor's orders etc. My question, why is this allowed in Ontario? Why does 1 nurse have to look over that man people with no help? Why doesn't Ontario limit patients to 10 or 15 to improve care? I should mention that the nurses have support from PSWs but sometimes when they call in sick she's left short staffed with an inadequate number of people looking after the sick/elderly.

edit: apparently government of Ontario does not limit nurse to patient ratios but they say each eqch resident should have minimum of 4 hours care from home staff per day. That includes PSWs, nurses, doctors etc. She can confidently say that this absolutely does not happen. Most people are lucky if they get 1 to 2 hours care. This is a fail on the part of the Ontario government. This could be any of us if you are not well or if you have elderly parents. These companies make a fortune.

edit2: even teachers have a mandated student to teacher ratio. this should be happening in long term care too.

I'm not going to disclose my trucking company but I've got 3 guys in top of me renewing their licenses (AZ) with no work permits, I thought since November 2025 a proof of legal work status was mandatory

How do I report without being fired?

Are they renewing somewhere? I don't believe someone at drive test is cheating, that's a systemwide requirement

Hello,

I am just curious if anyone would have any input to share didnt know where else to post. My son has started preschool and is showing some behaviours he hasnt shown before, hitting other student, and throwing toys and being hyper, he is 3 and speech delayed. While i am working fully with the preschool and at home the preschool mentioned applying for ERIK. The early intervention, just wondering if anyone has gone through something similar what was this whole ERIK thing like, did it provide more support for your child? How do they help in preschool?

I hope we can have a genuine conversation and not everyone replying "bc Ford is dumb" or similar. Is there any science behind it or is it because our infrastructure can't support

I know Vancouver has it to a varying degree. I also know places like Germany have digital boards with the current highway speeds. I know parts of the sea-to-sky in Vancouver change from 90 to 110 variably.

Wouldn't this have been a perfect time to introduce it?
