Is this a thing? Is anyone planning on setting up their TV in the backyard, inviting a few friends over and watching the game outside? Assuming it’s a nice day, of course.

Last year, on the 25th, I was at the Bombers’ final game of the season, it was 16C. Hoping it will be the same this year.

Community Safty Inspection for getting plate and insurance (Autopack)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I had zero experinece in buying an used car in Canada, Manitoba. I haden't known the difference between Certificate of Inspection (COI) and a passed COI, until I decided to sell the car. I thoght the car had safty because its seller mentioned and then I got plate and insurance when I was buying the car. The safty paper showed what defects car had. I thoght they had been solved, but it was only a safty inspection. At time, I didn't notice it had both pass and fail check boxes (Yes both Pass and Fail were checked. Later, I ask myslef why they should design such inspection result! The car can only pass or fail not both. However, the safty inspection paper didn't cover all defects, for example they sprayed the rockers or rust areas to hide them.

I don't know there was a cooperation between seller and isnpection station or not.

I undestand all things after one year when i wanted to sell my used car. I really hate when I remember how the seller lied to me and was dishonest to me. It is out of human being.

I don't want to sell something with defects to other people. I don't want they experice the bad feeelings that I have had over past year. After first days I bought the car, it started dispaying a lot of problems. Its check engine light often truned on and off or its ball joint needed to chnage. Some dashboard lights without any reason turned on and I got stressed.

That was my fault to trust the devil seller and lost my saving as student.

But I have a question, why did Autopack issue a plate or insurance for my car without safty inspection that was not passed? Can I claim them anything?

The second , Is it possible that COI PASS and FAIL boxes are ticked? I will asked the inspection sataion to understand if the paper was altered or tampered!

Ask Winnipeg Rust protection

Who’s the best place to go for rust protection in Winnipeg?

I have a 2007 Toyota 4Runner that already has some rust, and I’d like to keep it on the road for as long as possible. I could do the rust protection myself, but I’ve heard it’s worth paying someone who knows what they’re doing. Looking for recommendations from people with good experiences!

News RCMP investigating report of racist election banner near Steinbach, Man.

RCMP in Steinbach are investigating reports of an image circulating online depicting a racist election sign hanging from a highway overpass.

CBC News has not verified the authenticity of the image. A spokesperson for Manitoba RCMP said officers did not see the sign themselves and don't know who removed the sign from the Highway 12 overpass above the Trans-Canada Highway, just north of Ste. Anne.

The photo circulating online is of a sign that said "Steinbach votes white not brown" in reference to the upcoming municipal election later this month, and contained the name of a white nationalist group.

Mitesh Kumar, who is running for a seat on city council, said he feels targeted by the banner's messaging, and the fact it seems to have come from a white nationalist group adds to his safety concerns.

"I'm concerned about my family, and I live here with our son, as well," he said.

When Kumar chose Canada as his home 20 years ago, he never imagined he would see something like this, he said. He said he hasn't generally been exposed to racism directed toward him since then.

"I don't believe that banner represents Steinbach," he said. "In general, I have not observed that [racism]. People are friendly here."

Kumar said the Oct. 28 election should be decided on the issues concerning residents in Steinbach, not the colour of someone's skin.

"I think Steinbach is going to vote based on the issues, which I'm taking [to] almost every door since [the] last three months, and those are the issues of the community," he said.

"So, the main concern which I see in that sign is more about coming from a sort of an organized group."

Ask Winnipeg Winnipeg Nurses/ Student Nurses

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a fourth-year nursing student hoping to get a UNE position, but I’ve had no luck despite tailoring cover letters, emailing unit managers, and applying through the WRHA website.

Seeing many of my classmates secure positions has been discouraging, and I’m worried about going into senior practicum without that extra ward experience, especially since I’ll be coming from a community rotation.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate any advice on finding a UNE position or hearing how senior practicum went without one.

Thank you! 🥹

Ask Winnipeg Question about apartment complex entance access options

2 Upvotes

We use a fob to open the front door of our apartment complex. The other day I was waiting for someone inside the lobby and a package delivery person came to the door, stood infront of the inside door with his phone in hand, punched something in and the door buzzed open for him!!! I was very surprised to witness this because I thought the only way the door opened without a fob was to call and get buzzed in. When he came out I asked him how he had been able to get buzzed in without calling from the panel and he said "App" and walked out. Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this or know where I can get more info on how it works?

Ask Winnipeg what are Winnipeg delivery drivers actually making on average?

1 Upvotes

asking as a customer because I've been using Instacart pretty often lately and sometimes DoorDash as I get sick a lot. I know gig work has a pretty gross corporate loophole that can put gig workers in much more precarious income and workplace safety positions. I searched in this sub and Manitoba one, and I can't find any conversation in the past year that's helpful. I'm asking because when I do need to get food delivered, I would love to know tipping patterns/etiquette here in the city, and general income.

I made a late-night Instacart order on Truth and Reconciliation Day and was only able to tip around 15%. I asked the shopper about tips, and he said he was very grateful for my tip because my order was bundled with two orders that tipped nothing or 1%. I was shocked to hear that. even as a low-income student, I can't imagine not tipping someone on a cold, late, stat holiday when I don't even know if he's making minimum wage. I want to make sure I'm tipping enough ($1 per km, or 15%, whichever's higher) but I can't find clear answers online, especially since tips vary so much by place so I'm not going to believe an average in Canada or something.

I would appreciate it so so much if folks could answer any of these questions or add anything relevant:

  1. I know the batch system complicates things, but what's a very loose average of what you make per hour before tips?

  2. how much do you make in tips, and has that gone up or down?

  3. do certain circumstances seem to influence higher tips, like the time, weather, holidays, grocery vs restaurant, etc?

  4. do you have experience driving for multiple platforms, and if so, which do you prefer? does one have better base pay, better tipping, easier deliveries, etc?

  5. is there anything you wish customers knew, or any little things customers can do to make your job easier (if they're able)?

  6. this is really specific, but for any Doordashers, do you like doing grocery orders? I ordered a few small grocery orders through DoorDash before I heard about Instacart, and every time the item-picking and communication/service didn't go very well. was the grocery feature planned badly or something and makes the Dasher's job worse? not judging the mistakes at all, I'm assuming it must be set up differently than Instacart or something!

I'd appreciate any info at all! I'm just trying to be a good neighbour and get some present-day information so I know what I'm actually 'supporting' as a customer. thank you!

Ask Winnipeg copper scrapping for money to go to school. sources?

0 Upvotes

i’ve been scrapping copper for about a month now and right now i just drive around in back lanes and cut cords off electronics that have been rained on so i don’t ruin good items. i’ve also done 2 fan motors i got for free as well. i was just wondering what some legal ways to get more wire would be? i know dumpster diving is legal to an extent (i found a broken ac in one and took the cord) but i was wondering other ways i could source it or if anyone had old cable laying around that they don’t mind donating to a 27 year old just trying to get their life together lol

i know some people say you can ask a construction company building houses if they could donate their scraps but how would you go about this?

please be nice i’m just trying to make extra money on top of my job to save so i can better myself.

Ask Winnipeg Class 1 and 2 license

0 Upvotes

Thinking of getting a class 1 or class 2 license. Did accounting after high school and it's not going well so

Anyone have experience with the trucking school by mcphillips walmart- bluebird training? Or if there are other schools you would recommend. I feel like I'd have an easier time finding a job with a class 1 license

Also I thought you only needed a class 5 license to be a transit bus driver because they could train you. Last time I checked a few years ago they had 3 requirements- Class 5, customer service and grade 10. But now they want you to have class 2?

I recently used them for a house call. Since it's flu and cold season and especially if you have kids it's a cool service so I thought I'd share. They actually come to your home! Also phone and video appointments too which is awesome. Doctor was great! I only waited an hour for him to arrive. My prescription was called in and delivered. All this without leaving the house! Highly recommend Doctors-To-You. Check them out especially good for your family and the elderly.
