Federal Politics and this sub / La politique fédérale et notre communauté
As originally announced here:
Some upcoming changes to r/Ontario
People are asking some questions about what is in scope for r/Ontario concerning the Federal elections. In short, pure federal politics are out of scope for r/Ontario.
This means that International trade, tariffs, federal politics and the federal elections are not in scope UNLESS they have a DIRECT and clear link to Ontario, an Ontario riding or an Ontario MP/candidate personally..
The classic example is Pierre Polievre, who is an MP for the riding of Carleton. Polievre's activities as head of the CPC are NOT in scope for this sub. Anything he does as the local MP for his riding would be in scope.
For discussion about federal politics, there are:
r/canada , r/CanadaPolitics and r/onguardforthee
Tel qu'annoncé ici: Some upcoming changes to r/Ontario
Les gens se posent des questions sur ce qui est considéré pertinent comme discussion dans r/Ontario . En bref, la politique purement fédérale est hors sujet pour r/Ontario.
Cela signifie que le commerce international, les tarifs douaniers, la politique fédérale et les élections fédérales ne sont pas considérés comme étant pertinents pour discuter ici À MOINS qu'ils n'aient un lien direct et clair avec l'Ontario, une circonscription ontarien ou personnellement avec un député/candidat ontarien .
L'exemple classique est celui de Pierre Polièvre, un député de la circonscription de Carleton. Les activités de Polievre en tant que chef du PCC ne sont pas reliées à la raison d'être de notre communauté. Tout ce qu’il fait en tant que député local de sa circonscription serait admissible.
Pour discuter de la politique fédérale, les communautés suivantes sont disponibles:

Question Can a family doctor in Ontario drop you as a patient for no reason at all?
My family doctor is giving me a hard time about something. I am concerned it will eventually boil into an argument and they will consequently drop me as a patient out of spite. Can a family doctor do that? Drop someone as a patient due to disagreements or simply because they don't like me?

Question Can I rat out my workplace?
This is the worst job I've ever had and am soon leaving- I am missing pay because I'm unable to punch in early even when getting called in early (it's not a big deal I won't go to them just for that..) however- my boss is refusing to file my ROE after 5 months of asking and giving me 0 shifts without notice. She puts out the schedule 20 minutes before a shift starts (I know both these things are illegal) Staff steals food and alcohol, drinking behind the bar while working because the owner is never here. I can never get a hold of her. Normally I'd just leave peacefully but the level of disrespect feels like a slap in the face and I will do everything I can to deal with it.

Discussion How can young people cause a change in CAN politics?
Came across this guy's post (reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Markham/comments/1jt42i1/feeling_a_little_salty_about_the_liberal_mp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) today who wanted to run as a MP candidate for the Liberals in Markham-Unionville but is now running as an Independent as he was struggling to crack the nut on their selection process.
I was really intrigued by his ambition and his perspective on youth voter turnout. Since I happened to be in the area today visiting a friend, I figured I’d grab a coffee and have a chat. Honestly, he’s incredibly impressive and genuinely inspiring (seriously tho go hit him up if you're from that riding!). It got me thinking; how can we young people actually drive change within these outdated political structures and ensure we’re truly represented (besides voting)?

Beautiful Ontario Surviving and thriving in the freezing cold - an introduction to winter camping in Ontario

Picture this: a world blanketed in pristine snow, where the air is crisp and the stars shine with an almost unbelievable brilliance. Most of us wouldn't consider venturing out into that stillness to camp between November and April, right? But imagine trading the press of summer crowds, the ravenous bugs, for the serene beauty of a winter landscape. That's what winter camping offers. 🏕️
In this talk, we'll explore making the most of the season, from simple techniques using gear you likely already own or can borrow, to the cozy comfort of a "glamping" experience with a hot tent and crackling wood stove. 🔥 Where do you go winter camping in Ontario? We'll explore and show you the best spots.
We'll discover how the quiet solitude can be incredibly restorative, and unlock a whole new world of winter adventures. It's about finding a different kind of peace, and perhaps, a little bit of magic, in the heart of winter. ❄️

Discussion Do my car insurance rates increase due to how much money overall the company loses due to other people's accidents?
Is it true that your car insurance increases due to how many people insured with your company get into accidents?
They're a company who need to make money and if everyone is getting into accidents they increase everyone's rates so they can make up the money.
True or false?

Question Can I get out of a 1 year lease early? Please help
Hello, I am month 5 into a 1 year lease in Ontario. It is a basement unit of a house with tenants upstairs.
Although I am happy with the unit itself, the police are ALWAYS here, 4/5 of the upstairs tenants are being subletted to and one of them told me the other three were using cocaine.
There is constant arguing and fighting upstairs, and I often have to hear all of it-- including at 2am when I'm trying to sleep. And when I finally managed to catch up on some sleep, I WAKE UP TO MY LANDLORD STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LIVING ROOM STARING AT ME. No notice given. I CERTAINLY did not give him permission to enter. He is usually quite nice but this is a REGULAR OCCURRENCE no matter HOW MUCH I try to assert myself telling him to give me notice before he enters, and I have post traumatic stress as a result of past events where people have been in my personal spaces without permission.
I feel unsafe and trapped where I am. And, above all -- becoming very frustrated.
Does anyone have any advice or perhaps experienced something similar?
I'm in Barrie if that changes anything.

Question Tractor Trailer License Requirements
I know in order to drive large commercial vehicles you need a specialized license, but do those regulations apply to driving a semi tractor? Or only when towing a trailer?
Basically, if I hypothetically wanted to drive a big-rig cab without the trailer as my daily drive, could I do that with a G license?
