Hi everyone,

I’m a UK-trained family doctor currently looking into the possibility of moving to ON, (probably Toronto region), and I wanted to get a sense from people on the ground about what the situation is like there.

Is there currently much need for family doctors in Toronto or the surrounding area? I’ve heard a lot about family physician shortages in parts of Canada, but I’m not sure how that translates specifically to Toronto itself.

I would appreciate yall’s input

TIA!

I have the pink slip in the car as well as my drivers license with me at all times. A photocopy i took off my printer of the ownership/registration .

I am new and not sure if I need to make to hold the original documnet with me at all times. I only have 1 copy when I bought the far, am i obligated to use that or do i have to go to ServiceOntario and get a true copy and use that in the car (left in glovebox)?

Is a picture of the original ownership off my phone not sufficient if asked?

I'm from BC and I've been applying to a lot of local government jobs for my co-op program. I feel bad for non federal workers in Ontario because the pay seems bad. For example a student planner position in a small BC town is usually 35/hr min due to the bcgeu. But a similar student planner position in ​​​​mississauga for example is like 21/hr, and that is not a cheap place to live. Is it just a lack of union pay grids at the low end? I guess they have enough to choose from locally for those positions but i can't see anyone moving temporarily to the GTA for such a wage. ​​

DSO will not accept my cognitive and adaptive scores and are forcing my file closed. I have already appealed, there’s no use. Where else can I go to be seen by an autism informed medical professional to help me regain my capacity? It feels like I am constantly in burnout and experiencing heightened sensory problems and headaches. I cannot work until I have this figured out and can feel more like myself. I already see a therapist, and she’s a good one too, what we talk about has been helpful but at the end of the day it doesnt relieve me of my chronic fatigue, brain fog and sensory processing issues which have gotten far worse over the past few years. I already get as much as I can from ODSP and it‘s really not enough. Doctors give me every mental health diagnosis under the sun and have no clue how to help me, antidepressants just make things worse. I feel that I am declining cognitively, I feel extremely vulnerable and incapable of contributing to anything. Please help, I want to feel like me again.

Hi all, my spouse and tween child are going to take a two-night weekend away in May or June. One day will be spent at Wonderland, and we're struggling to figure out where to go on the other day that is north or east of Wonderland. We considered the pinball festival in Staynor on the May 30th weekend, but that would result in a 3 hour drive home, which is a bit much even for pinball. Where would you go for day/night #2? They like festivals/fairs, museums, escape rooms, frisbee golf, and might enjoy something on or around Lake Simcoe; things that would not appeal would be art galleries, sport-specific destinations, or casinos.

Hi everyone,

I’m visiting Niagara and staying at the Hilton Fallsview for 2 nights (3 days). I’ll be renting a car, and I was checking parking options. The hotel charges $80/day, which seems a bit steep.

Does anyone know of a cheaper but reliable parking option nearby where I can safely leave the car for a couple of days?

Thanks in advance!

Planning some summer family fun. The only outdoor waterparks I know of in Ontario are Splashworks at Canada’s Wonderland, Wild Waterworks near Hamilton, and Wet n Wild in TO. What else is out there?

Am I entitled to EI if my work contract ended April 3, and I have another position starting May 4? Am I able to collect EI for that period of time?

I was involved in a collision (first ever, was not the one at fault) and I was so frazzled that when I was pulling out my insurance information from my glove box, I grabbed the expired insurance card. I’ve already made a claim with my insurance as well as reported it to CRC but I wanted to know if this mistake can be made correct or will it just sort itself out?

Hey all,

Whats a good website or app to check diesel prices? City News only shows gas price and GasWizard by Dan McTeaugue is not always accurate from my experience.

GasBuddy only shows for the current day prices not future.

Thanks
