Anyone in any government agencies know if your answers on these forms affect your hiring process? And if they do, how?

Because most jobs tell you that it's just for statistics, but this government job straight up asks if you want your answers to be considered in your employment process, or used purely for statistics.

I don't know if I should be honest or just straight up "prefer not to say" everything.

Might do just this.

People would be willing to sell at half price? Or lower?

 

Hi, I'm in Brampton ON. The snow isn't that bad compared to other places (there was a really bad one like 2 or 3 weeks ago tho), but I'm the only one that does the shoveling.

I can't afford a 1000 CAD blower from Canadian Tire or Home Depot. And I don't think I need anything super heavy duty.

Just want something reliable preferably under 400 CAD. Or is that not possible?

Maybe I'm just too chronically online, but people seem to complain a lot more about Tim Hortons than other fast food places. Even though they have a lot of the same issues.

Edit: I guess I have bad taste in fast food. I like Tims ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. I think the prices are reasonable for fast food, and their stuff tastes better than mcDonalds. I don't drink coffee much so I can't compare to other places. I can get why people don't like the company itself though.

 

I got a plastic straw at Tim's for the first time in like two to three years. Is the single-use plastic prohibition thing not happening anymore, or is this just a store using old plastic straws they had previously purchased?

Because according to this, "The Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations remain in force" until a decision is made this year.

Just don't take statements like that personally. Majority of my friends are guys and we all acknowledge that we've met many other guys (unfortunately) who fall into the category of "toxic men".

It's annoying if every time someone wants to make a statement about a group of people they need to specify that they don't mean the group in it's entirety. Eg. queer men have a problem with hookup culture. The average queer man will not be offended if they acknowledge that this is indeed a problem in the community- regardless of if I am part of said problem or not.

On the other hand I can understand why seeing such statements could be upsetting if you consider being a man a core part of your identity. The best way to prevent comments and blanket statements like these, is to reduce the rate at which the sort of situations that lead to them occur like you said. Because just like you're venting right now, they're probably just venting their frustrations as well. It's honestly very concerning how much nonsense women and especially girls go through.

Long story short, unfortunately this is an issue you're just going to have to deal with until the world figures out some way to dismantle the patriarchy. At least majority of these statements are online so it might be easier to ignore them ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

 

I know you can use a single login to subscribe to communities from other servers, but are there any advantages to having an account on each server compared to having a single account connected to communities on other servers?
