Anybody know what the film set is for in Starbuck?

Title. Our justice system supposedly encourages rehabilitation yet prison conditions are absolutely deplorable. People aren't able to reintegrate into society when they're shoved into small little cells with no support whatsoever. It's comical the justice system officials thinks these people will actually be okay after spending longer than a year in prison.

The system is woefully underfunded, overcrowded, and downright sadistic. In my opinion, we should contract the prisoners (specifically medium security ones) to help aid in the construction of community spaces and low income housing (this was another Redditor's idea in a different thread). They would directly be improving their community and at the same time it would be much cheaper for the government than hiring contractors to build it all.

Doing this would first of all, expose these prisoners to society and acclimate them to life on the outside. If we actually want to reintegrate people to society we can't just shun them we from it, we should let them participate. Of course, you don't want any runners but you could probably attach ankle monitors or something. This would also give them a sense of purpose other than just rotting away in a cell. It may be fulfilling for some people to see that they are doing good for society and at the same time letting them enjoy some freedoms. If we were able to implement this, we could probably improve their food quality as well by ensuring they consume diverse and nutritious food instead of the bland garbage they get everyday. Like let's get them McDonald's one in a while or something idk, I bet that would be nice for them. Their labor would be a hell of a lot cheaper than hiring contractors outright that are trying to make a profit after all the subcontracting.

We should also ensure we are sufficiently addressing and treating drug withdrawals with methadone instead of letting people quit drugs cold turkey. There is a huge shortfall in withdrawal treatment services and accessibility. If you are dependent on drugs, going cold turkey could kill you since you aren't naturally producing certain hormones/neurotransmitters. Drugs like methadone help reduce the impact of the withdrawals. Providing mental health supports would be crucial as well.

The current system is a lose/lose/lose for practically everybody. The prisoners are treated like animals and are extremely more likely to reoffend. The employees at the prison are subjected to the cooped up, directionless prisoners who are becoming increasingly violent.And the taxpayers are footing the bill and getting absolutely zero value for how much they pay. If we could reform the system it would be much much better involved for everyone involved.

I also think a lot of prisoners have undiagnosed ADHD and are self medicating with the wrong substances. We should perform ADHD assessments on whoever wants it and prescribe ADHD medicine if necessary. If we had a bunch of them on Vyvanse it would be great. Holy crap, they would be super productive and at the same time make it easier to focus and concentrate. I have no idea what they could do in the winter but there's probably something idk.

Looking into the trades rn and im curious what’s the best option. Right now im stuck between Bricklayer, heavy duty mechanic, automotive mechanic and millwright. I just want to know what the best option is for job outlook and what is the better paying jobs.

As the title says.. thinking of looking at real estate and moving to Killarney. We are retired couple looking for pros and cons. Thanks

I’m currently dealing with some cardio issues/POTS & IST. I live in NWO, so my options are limited. Still on a wait list… and it’s not looking like i’ll have an appointment until early 2024 as long as that appointment isn’t cancelled, and they’ve already cancelled prior appointments.

Soo im looking for some suggestions on anyone who may be of help in Manitoba. Ideally with a shorter wait list but I understand that might not be possible.

Just super frustrating and I’m looking for answers, not more waiting :/

Hello

Just wondering what it’s like in the town, in terms of safety, community, etc We both work in Winnipeg so as far as amenities go mostly we will be taking care of that in Winnipeg

Thanks!

Apologies in advance because I don't know the whole situation/I'm not Metis

When someone qualifies as a Metis person to receive financial assistance with purchasing a home and they are married to someone who is not Metis. What happens if 5 years later they get divorced?

Typically in a divorce the house is sold at 50/50. I'm now hearing that the non Metis spouse is entitled to nothing. Is that true? Anyone ever experienced this?

Anyone know of lawyers that would provide a free consultation on this type of situation?

Any info is appreciated.

Edit: been married for 15 years, bought the home 5 years ago.

"2 people arrested after 10 cats tortured, killed in 'horrible' animal cruelty case: Winnipeg police":

This is a quote she posted on her Facebook page under her photos:

“Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

These are some parts of the press release:

“As the result of this investigation a search warrant was executed at a residence in the Lord Roberts neighbourhood and two individuals were taken into custody. Evidence was seized from the residence. A 55-year-old female, Irene LIMA of Winnipeg and a 40-year-old male Chad KABECZ of Winnipeg have been arrested and charged with the following offences:

Killing or Injuring Animals

Causing unnecessary suffering to an animal

Fail to provide adequate medical attention for an animal when it is wounded or ill

Inflict upon an animal acute suffering, serious injury or harm, or extreme anxiety or distress that significantly impairs its health or well-being”

“Winnipeg Police Service Const. Stephen Spencer speaks at a news conference on Friday. He says investigators told him the animal abuse case is 'the worst case that they've dealt with — a very, very horrible case involving animal cruelty.' (CBC)”

“During a bail hearing for Kabecz on Tuesday, Crown attorney Sean Sass alleged Kabecz and Lima, who is Kabecz's girlfriend and goes by the name "Goddess May" online, were the owners and operators of a website on the dark web called Goddess May Barefoot Premium Crush. The prosecutor alleged the two made videos of animals, specifically cats and kittens, being crushed by Lima using her feet. "These are not quick kills. As the time stamps seem to indicate, some of these videos are five minutes long. They're staged, premeditated torturing that result in the death of very vulnerable animals," Sass told provincial court Judge David Ireland at Kabecz's bail hearing.” (CBC)”

Having trouble getting a tour before finalizing. Any knowledge? It's a listing through Vionell Holdings in Brandon which i believe is a legit company.

UPDATE: Got there and he says "First thing we need to sign some papers." Red flag. I laughed and say I want to take a look around first. He just stayed in the kitchen the whole time, didn't even give me a tour or show me around. Wasn't up to my standards so i told him no thanks, could tell he was pissed and I loved that. Thanks for everyone's advice!

Hello, Manitiba!

After watching the recent elections in BC, SK, and NB - I noticed something interesting: MLAs often win with smaller margins compared to what we see in Ontario.

In Ontario, our provincial ridings have typically matched up with federal ones, meaning provincial candidates need just as many votes to win as their federal counterparts do. This setup has made our ridings larger and, for many Ontarians, has raised questions about effective representation. There are exceptions in Northern Ontario, and as federal districts shift in the future, Ontario’s provincial ridings will no longer align with them.

In Ontario, there’s often pushback against adding seats to our legislature, with some people saying it would create "more useless government." and be a waste of money. (I've worked out that adding about 70-76 more ridings would cost each taxpayer 2$ a year)

So, I’m reaching out to other provincial subreddits to hear your perspective.

For those of you in Manitoba, do you feel better represented by your MLA than by your federal MP? Does having smaller provincial ridings lead to better outcomes from your provincial government? And would you like to see your legislature expand or contract? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hello everyone! I'm hoping you can help me out with a question about prerequisites for teaching. I'm finishing my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in Social Sciences from OCAD University in April. When I first started my bachelor's, I was interested in teaching fine arts, and social sciences at the high school level, so I didn't focus on getting prerequisites in science and math. Now, l'm planning to pursue a Bachelor of Education for middle years, but to meet the prerequisites for teaching certification, l'd need to take an extra year to cover science and math courses. I spoke with someone in the Faculty of Education, and they mentioned that l'd receive the same teaching certificate regardless of what years am I finishing my bachelors with : early middle or senior. I would still be qualified to teach any grade levels. So my question is: why do I need to complete these extra prerequisites and take middle school Bed if I already have a bachelor's degree and can apply Bed of senior years, get my teaching certificate and teach middle years? Is there an advantage to having these specific courses (middle /senior)? Thanks in advance for any insights!

My number is not quite 2 years old, I get at least one spam call per day that I’m in an area with reception. I work and live in an area with no tower coverage, and yet when I leave I get 1-2 spam calls. Sometimes they can even reach me when I have no service and data is turned off, yet my employer can’t.

My phone is on an account with two other numbers on the same service provider, and yet they never get spam calls on their cell. All iPhones, same settings, except those numbers are 204, and they’re 10~ years old.

I’m thinking spam callers/bots are choosing to call new numbers? Is this an issue for anyone else?

I know my service provider is known for having issues with spam filtering, but all these numbers show up with Ontario/Quebec prefixes, and the other people on this account only get spam calls once in a blue moon. They also occasionally leave empty voicemails.
