Loads of LGBTQ2S+ folk in the States are hoping that Canada might be a safe haven until the American army jackboots their way north. My trans sister and her American wife included. I’m very concerned that if little PP gets in that might not be the case. My sister would be able to get in as we’re Canadian, but her wife might not be able to.
This is definitely the worst timeline.
I’m from Vancouver, but live in Scotland. So got to listen to the play by playing collapse of rational thought in real time. By the time my shift started I was having a full blown panic attack…
Yep, just as bad as I remember.
Well, there was that one time
Oh, the time where the cops did fuck all for ages because they had more in common with the “protesters” than the populace they were harassing?
I mean…they were doing just fine at systemic racism before they had the help of AI. So no sympathy from me. There’s definitely some cops who try to do good within the system, but the system is broken, so inevitably…ACAB.

I also would be interested in knowing
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?
Yes
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.
Doesn’t seem like it…sigh
I moved to Scotland from Vancouver, and you would be absolutely shocked at the number of SCOTS I’ve seen hoping he’d get in, then celebrating, or walking around or hanging out at the pub wearing MAGA hats…
