- Isn't this area (one of many) fighting back against building "tiny homes for the homeless" camps there? (3)
EN: Isn't this area (one of the many areas) that fought back against an encampment of "tiny houses for the unhoused" being built there? - As long as proper consideration is given to the increased traffic in the area, this proposal isn't too bad. People like to complain about high taxes in this city but refuse to accept things that help. Most people in town, including myself, don't even know how much empty woodland is in this area. If it's within city limits, it should definitely be used for housing, sorry. We are surrounded by forest, I promise, taking some within city limits is okay. Everyone will survive. (2)

2. Random question - How to safely approach witnessing a crime? （ 71 ｜ 11 ｜ 30）
Original title:Random question- how to safely approach witnessed crime?
Post summary:Hi everyone So I'm really curious about opinions because everyone I talk to seems to say different things. The community I live in has had no criminal activity for years until the last 2/3 years, when neighbors started discussing any major issues. Now our car windows are smashed, people have attacked our yard, and of course more zombies than ever. Last summer, my alley became a storage spot for stolen bikes. These guys would race down the street and then throw the bikes into the bushes, and then

- Half the people tell you to confront a person who might be stealing and might also be on drugs or drunk, and you're 5'2" and 115 lbs? That sounds like terrible advice. Even for a tall person, confronting these people for something "simple" like theft is a bad idea. You might want to go to the police station and ask if they can record these things and provide footage (if something can be done). Nowadays, people are wary of the police and he (11)
EN: Half the people tell you to confront a person who is likely in the process of stealing something and also likely on drugs or booze and you are 5 ft 2 115 pounds? That sounds like horrible advice. Even for a larger person - In my experience, reporting to the police does nothing. It's a huge shame and really makes me and my family feel unsafe. After one particularly difficult encounter, I decided to buy a door bar... just in case my kids suddenly want to play ball at 3 AM. (4)

EN: Call in about everything. “Suspicious activity” - I think your instincts are right, don't confront people directly. If someone is stealing bikes, pushing stolen snow blowers, or engaging in other criminal activity, it's not worth risking your life to play detective or vigilante. You don't know who you're dealing with or how they'll react. But that doesn't mean you have to ignore it. Record what you can safely observe, report suspicious activity when appropriate, and share information with police if asked. At the end of the day, your safety must (2)

This is my third day in a row calling to try to book an appointment, and both phones go straight to voicemail, and their voicemail says they are closed and will open the next business day. Today is Thursday?? They can't be part of the strike, right?

- Killed a woman, got a federal flag tattoo, violated parole, involved in a hit-and-run, suspected of auto theft, and carved a swastika on the prison lawn. Yeah, this guy really sounds like he deserves parole. Doesn't sound like the actions of a remorseful person. (22)

5. Doctor charged me 3 hidden fees without prior notice （ 38 ｜ 0 ｜ 19）
Original title:Dr charged me hidden fees 3 times with no notice prior
Post summary:According to the photo, doctors are not allowed to provide any uninsured services without you knowing the cost before receiving the service, and they must get your consent to proceed. Dr. Roblock's office made me angry. First the lab, surprise! I didn't know about that fee, then I had a mental health crisis and was cancelled in less than 24 hours, surprise! I didn't know I'd have to pay $55 until I later rebooked, which is a huge penalty for a crisis. Then recently I asked to have

Featured comments:
- Hmm, I think cancellation fees are pretty standard for any medical facility. Also, any type of doctor's note will cost you money. I want to ask, what were your lab fees? Are you a visitor to Canada? I can't say I've heard of Canadian citizens paying for standard labs. (13)
EN: Well I feel the cancellation fee is pretty standard with any medical office. Also any sort of Dr’s note is going to cost you. What I question is your charge for the labs? Are you a visitor to Canada? Can’t say I’ve heard - Cancelling an appointment within 24 hours has always been rare. It's not easy to find someone else who can fit into that time slot in such a short time. Doctor's notes usually come with a fee, but it depends on the doctor's discretion, but I feel this is common. Did you know that the service you talked to the doctor about is not covered? I guess if you knew in advance it wasn't covered, then the lab wouldn't be covered either, which makes sense. (9)
EN: Cancelling appointments under 24 hours has always been a few to that. It’s not easy to find someone else who can fit that time slot on such a short notice. Doctor’s notes usually have a fee attached, but it’s up to the d - The second and third are very standard and posted everywhere. Not sure about the lab. Most lab work is covered by OHIP. (6)
EN: 2nd and 3rd are pretty standard and are posted everywhere. Not sure about the labs. Most lab work is covered by OHIP. - These are fairly standard fees, and they likely have them written in your available policy. (4)

6. Any stores with a good selection of sugar-free candy? （ 37 ｜ 7 ｜ 15）
Original title:Does any shop have a good selection of sugar free candy?
Post summary:Even though most popular brands make sugar-free versions, most places that sell candy have little or no sugar-free options. Even Walmart, which has a whole candy aisle, has very few. Shopper's has some, but not much. Does anyone stock a selection?

EN: Bulk Zone on Macdonell has a sugar free section, it's not huge but they have candy, drink mixes, and a few other things. - I sell candy for a living. Sugar-free candy usually doesn't have much of a push, so most stores don't want to dedicate too much space to it. Especially when regular candy sells quickly and routinely. The bulk area might be your best bet. (4)
EN: Part of what I sell for a living is Candy. Sugarfree candy is typically not a huger mover so most store do not want to devote much space to it. Especially when regular candy will quickly and routinely. Bulk Zone is likel - Be aware that sugar-free candy can cause a lot of gas and diarrhea. At least for me and many others. (3)
EN: Beware that sugar free candy gives you major farts and poops. At least for me and many others. - As others said, the bulk area does have a selection. Not huge, but probably better than what you'd get elsewhere. (3)

Original title:Cressman variety
Post summary:I've seen some posts over the past year or so about North End variety stores and drug dealers. Why don't the police do anything? I know people who live in the area, and they say it's getting worse. It seems weird to have a physical stamp store that has no impact.

Does anyone know of any restaurants in the city that serve low sodium dishes?
Featured comments:
- Generally speaking, restaurants add a lot of salt, fat, and sugar to their dishes. Because the lack of any of these ingredients tends to make most cooked dishes bland. Customers expect food to have richer flavors than what they usually cook at home. Unfortunately, I can hardly imagine many types of dishes that are not typically well-salted, except for very basic side dishes. (4)

Patrons expect things to have a richer taste t - Your house. Google has so many recipes, don't give your hard-earned money to restaurants. (4)
EN: Your house. Google has so many recipes, don't give restaurants your hard earned money - I think it depends more on what you order. As for the actual location, look for local restaurants. Make your own food, etc. It will be more expensive, but you have to expect that to some extent. The first place that comes to mind is The Nook. (2)

- They did blasting operations at several places on the highway and left piles of amethyst on the roadside. Now much of it has been picked over, but you can still get lucky. Hodder overpass and McKenzie bridge are places people have mentioned. (3)

The Hodder overpass and the McKenzie - I'm sure it's still public, but I suspect people won't reveal those locations.
