1. Wondering if anyone has tried this campsite and how it feels to get there
Original English title:Wondering if anyone has tried this camp spot and how getting to the site was like
Post content summary:Probably a long shot on this sub, but hoping someone has some experience with this remote campsite on Half Lake. I've been looking and trying but can't figure out if it's going to be an absurd hike and unbearable, or if it's relatively easy. Looks like a prime spot if it's not too bad for a few people to go get their gear

Now you feel superior?

EN: Maybe we shouldn’t make fun of those who are struggling - But this isn't Barrie. Here, we criminalize the homeless and unfortunate. This weekend downtown, saw a guy arrested outside Dollarama for being hanged, and a shitty vlogger walking around yelling at people, making fun of the arrested guy, screaming 'disrespect' in their face, and yelling 'respect' at the teens who called the cops. Barrie is fundamentally flawed, full of bullies and indifferent people who don't care about neighbors. Simply put
EN: That's not Barrie though. Here we criminalize the homeless and less fortunate. Literally was downtown this weekend, saw a guy get arrested outside Dollarama for being strung out, and there was this piece of shit vlogger

Original English title:Advice / suggestions for escaping an abusive household?
Post content summary:A close friend of mine is leaving an abusive family at the last minute. They have 1 day to figure out what to do and where to go.

Just needs a bit of adjustment and integration of bus routes to connect with hubs. Vancouver has SeaBus, Toronto has island taxis. Why go aro
