- Get on the list through Healthcare Connects. It took them less than 6 months to get me a family doctor. Your mileage may vary. They also said you should keep calling/looking while on their waitlist. Good luck! (20)

EN: Fort William clinic was taking new clients not too long ago - I'm a former resident of TBay. Been gone a long time. According to my 77-year-old mom, she hasn't had a family doctor in 18 years. She says she's tried several clinics. Since she's not a patient, walk-ins turn her away. Due to feeling unwell and mainly because of no refills, she spent most of a day in the ER, nearly 12 hours. Does anyone know of any GP/family doctor taking new patients in Thunder Bay? Is it really that hard to see a doctor? (2)

- I think this is a major area where we fail. Prisons are still seen as too much about punishment. Yes, some people need to be punished, but if you're in trouble because of drugs, this is an opportunity to change that. There are few resources in prison to support those with substance abuse issues. We could work with them to help them get out of their problems, so when they get out, they have a better chance at life. (19)

Original title:Recommendations for a good place for a Mani/Pedi please!
Post summary:As the title says, haha, I desperately need a manicure/pedicure. I'm not from here. I'm here until mid-May to take care of my mom. I've spent the last 1.5 months slowly cleaning out her place, cleaning and packing while she's been in the hospital, and making sure I have a place to stay. So with all that, I've had **zero** time for self-care and could really use some now! Any and all recommendations are appreciated! I thought Ottawa had pothole problems. Holy Jesus on toast, this is bad.

I own a General contracting company that does mitigation work and am a water restoration technician. - How serious is the leak? Where is it coming from? I spent all winter trying to shovel snow and blow it away from my foundation. Check for any downspouts that go directly into the foundation, pooling water, or runoff. If your basement is unfinished and there isn't much water, it's not an emergency. (7)
EN: How bad is the leak? Where is it coming from? I make efforts throughout the winter to shovel and snow blow snow away from my foundation. Check if you have any downspouts directed into your foundation, pooling water, run - Relying on them is bad. Don't even waste time calling those clowns. It could be groundwater from rain and snowmelt putting pressure on the outside of the foundation and seeping into the home. If you don't have a sump pump yet, install one. (5)
EN: Reliance sucks. Don’t even waste your time calling those clowns over. It’s probably ground water from all the rain and snow melt causing pressure outside your foundation and leaking into the dwelling. Install a sump pump - Basements are rarely waterproof; there may be a sump pit or drain in the basement floor, make sure it's working properly. If the leak is small and localized, I'd find it inside and outside the house, and when it's dry outside, seal it with flexible caulk or similar. If it's multiple leaks, large leaks, or you notice any movement in the foundation, then it's time to start your first major home expense. Have it professionally inspected and repaired before next winter. (2)
EN: Basements are rarely watertight, there is likely a sump or drain in the basement floor, ensure it is functioning properly. If the leak is tiny and localized I would locate it both inside and outside the house, then when
