And from Alberta, east...so they might need Alaska to make it a true Wexit ;)

You posted an article with a title "Canadians continue to leave the country for health care says new report" on a thread about restrictions to travel due to Covid. The fact that the article is about a year out of date is pretty relevant, because when I saw the title, I inferred that Canadians...

Um....this article is dated March 12, 2019.

Huh. I live in British Columbia. When I get sick, I walk into my local walmart's walk-in clinic and see a doctor (same day, no wait, no charge). When I first developed symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis last year, my gp got me in to see a rheumatologist in 48 hours. Had my blood and x-ray...

salt and lots of vinegar

Papaya (well, really durian...but does anyone actually like durian???)

As a Canadian math and science teacher, I can tell you that the only places that the US/Imperial system of measures is really used (at least in BC), is in Woodworking, Foods class, and in the conversions unit of Math 10 (after covering metric conversions, other systems of measurement are then...

Do you mean an advent calendar? I still buy them for my kids (18 and 20) and sometimes buy one for myself...and I'm much older than you are! However, I always splurge for the 'good' chocolate!

You and your family are in my thoughts, too. :grouphug: Please don't hesitate to ask for any help and support you need.

My heart is heavy for you and your family. May your husband find peace having you and your children nearby tonight. :hug:

Rodeo, I am so, so sorry. You are doing the best you can. Try not to stress too much about DH's mom and brother. Hopefully they will make a quick visit, say a quick goodbye, and leave. One (very small) blessing to him being unresponsive is that their visit will likely go unnoticed. Your...

Hope today is a goo day, Rodeo. Your family remain in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to read about your day yesterday. I hope that today is the start of an upward trend, and that there are many more good days in the upcoming months. You and your family are in my thoughts. :hug:

Really? I'm just south of Vancouver, and the mall near me is open all weekend (including Easter Sunday), and so are all the grocery stores. They do have shortened hours though (closing at 7pm).

I'm sure this is exactly what happened. In my district, I apply for a sick day online, and can either request a specific replacement or can ask the system to find one for me. We are extremely short on subs at the moment, so unfortunately I usually have to let the system choose if it's a...

Teacher in BC here..yes, we have to arrange for our own subs, but we are entitled to our sick time (and in my district, up to 5 non-paid days off at our request). I fill out a form online requesting a replacement, but often a replacement isn't found, in which case other teachers or...

:grouphug:

I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug:

I'm sure the crew member would appreciate the sentiment. While today is officially Thanksgiving, most of my friends and family have their turkey dinner on Sunday, and celebrate Monday as turkey coma recovery day (or 'travel back home and get ready for work' day).

We have a two week spring break and two weeks at Christmas; other than that, we have a few long weekends for stat holidays (and the students have 6 pro-d days). We are in school from September 5th to June 29th this year for an official count of 181 days of class.
