1. Can't find PSW work
Original English title:Can’t find a psw job
Post content summary:Am I the only one finding it harder and harder to get PSW work in Thunder Bay? I work in the Tcu area but can't get a job at the hospital because Tcu is closing in October. We PSWs are out of work. I've applied at St. Joseph's Care Group, Southbridge, and Government House multiple times. No interviews. Companies won't hire experienced Canadian-born PSWs, only foreigners. Getting more and more frustrating. Any advice?

- You're right
they're hiring international students, which is fine, but there are too many... jobs seem to have been taken. I've applied for many jobs (also PSW) and no replies 
EN: You’re correct They are hiring international students, which is fine, but there are so many….that the jobs seemingly have been taken. I’ve applied to many jobs ( also a PSW ), with no response - If you're willing to drive or move, apply to Nipigon hospital!
EN: Apply to Nipigon hospital, if youre willing to drive or relocate! - If there's a PSW position I'd apply
EN: I’ll apply if there is a psw position - Because they hire foreign-born immigrants cheaper and they won't push back on hospital nonsense
EN: Because they're hiring foreign born immigrants for cheaper and that don't fight back against the hospitals bullshit as much
2. Tax-exempt Catholics
Original English title:Tax free Catholics
Post content summary:In a city full of Catholic schools, maybe they should prove their god is real before getting tax-exempt status, and if they had to, they'd all pay taxes. This applies to all other religions and to everyone.

- Grabbing popcorn for this.
EN: Grabbing the popcorn for this one. - Man, you're really angry about a lot of things these days, aren't you? Must be tough being so bothered by everything
EN: Man you're really mad about a lot of stuff these days aren't you? Must suck to be so bothered by everything - Is this really such a big problem in our city? Of all the issues we face, you're clinging to school funding for schools that provide a better education that anyone can accept?
EN: Is it really that much of a blight on our city? Of all the issues we face, you’re latching on to the funding of schools, which offer a better education that anybody can attend? - They don't provide a better education. They can't support students with complex needs well, leaving them out in the cold, and thus these resource-intensive students burden the public system. For obvious reasons, Indigenous students are also less likely to choose Catholic schools, leading to overrepresentation in the public board. Don't believe me? Ask anyone with a child with autism or other major conditions how the Catholic board treats them.
EN: They don’t offer a better education. They don’t support students with complex needs well, hanging them out to dry, thereby overburdening the public system with these more resource intensive students. First nations studen

EN: Ooh, the Knights of Valour are the jousting team who were here last year. They joust in events, but also run a bunch of Ren Faires across Canada themselves. - As far as I know, one of the original organizers is also involved.

9. Angry and loud tenant, LL lets him stay
Original English title:Angry and loud tenant, LL let's him stay
Post content summary:I need advice on what I can do. I don't know the tenant's name, I've asked the landlord before, but still don't know the little gem's name. All I know is this angry guy from India constantly yelling, cursing, stomping, slamming doors, most of the time at my landlord. I'm downstairs, they're upstairs. It's distressing. I have music, earplugs, headphones, etc., but that only helps against fights and noise. At night, like tonight, they sometimes play music

10. Is it too much to ask people to yield before driving through parking spaces?
Original English title:Is it really too much to ask people to yield before cutting through parking spaces?
Post content summary:I'm not pretending I've never driven through an empty parking space... but you still slow down, check traffic, and yield to cars already in the actual driving lane! This driver didn't, and I had to slam on my brakes, and my kid was in the car! Then she boldly laughed like it was normal. Honestly, what is wrong with people?!

11. Summer studded tires
Original English title:Studded tires in summer
Post content summary:I've heard a lot of vehicles with studded tires in July. No judgment really, but I'm curious if anyone driving with studs can satisfy my curiosity: what's your reason for not changing yet? No time/too busy? Too expensive? Don't care? Don't believe it's necessary? I'm genuinely curious.
