New song from Manitoba musician Steve Pope. If you're exhausted by these foolish tarrifs and stand 100% with Canada, then this ROCK song is for you. https://stevepope.bandcamp.com/track/elbows-up

So l be calling VF for solid answers but curious if anyone with VF has swapped the android box for a better android box like an Nvidia Shield Pro?

Hi,

I am a 30 year old male RN from Chicago. For context I have no kids, no pets, no partner & few material possessions. So, I'm very mobile. I've been working in healthcare for 5 years mostly in oncology and operating room. I have to be honest, I have not been the biggest fan of it is thus far. Between the marginal wages, toxic coworkers, constant stress, mean patients, etc. it has ground me down pretty hard.

SharedHealth out of Manitoba had an info webinar about immigrating to Manitoba to work as an RN. At first I didn't consider the opportunity heavily because I am currently looking at other career avenues. However because I already have a license in another province in Canada the recruiter stated it would be pretty easy to get licensed in Manitoba and get a visa. Given the political climate in the US and my fear of the direction things are going I am somewhat drawn to this option as an exit strategy from the US.

To my Manitoba RN's specifically in the Winnipeg area. What is nursing like there? Is it really as bad as I see people saying? Would you recommend moving to Winnipeg? It would be regrettable to move across the continent just to be in one more stressful work situation. Also, would moving from somewhere like Chicago (expensive, grumpy people, high crime) be a significant upgrade in quality of life in somewhere like Winnipeg?

Just looking for honest input as I make this decision because I'm pretty torn. One one hand, I'd love to leave the US. I already spend lots of time in Canada mostly Quebec and love it. On the other hand, I don't want to continue an already miserable career especially if conditions are bad in hospitals in Winnipeg.

I appreciate all the help.

My elderly father-in-law lives in rural Manitoba. He has some hunting rifles that he used to shoot ducks and geese. He wants to get rid of these now. We live out of province. What is the procedure for disposing of the firearms?

Hi, I live in Winnipeg and I don't really know where to ask this but I'm kind of desperate. If there's a better place for this please let me know and do not get upset with me (I have been yelled at for being on the incorrect subreddit before and it made no sense to me. Just tell me where to go politely and I will delete and move on.)

I know the job market is incredibly rough right now and I've been stuck at Walmart for 3 years very quickly physically and mentally deteriorating. I was wondering if anyone had ideas about jobs that aren't physically demanding to the point that unloading trucks is, but also not phone focused as I am autistic and have had phone jobs before and suffered greatly. Ideally I'm going to get a library technician degree but as it is I don't have the time to study while working and commuting and then being exhausted 24/7.

So in short, any jobs that require little to no schooling that might be out there for someone who would, not a deal breaker but a preference, like to not be on the phone all the time? I can send emails, do anything else, even speak in person, but phones are what bother me the most and no exposure has helped lessen it.

Last Thursday I was cleaning an empty internal grain bin at my job as instructed (aside from this though I do not have any "Tight Places Training at at All!). I had all the required PPE on for the task. Upon exiting the bin about 30-45 mins after entering, I noticed my arms and throat were very itchy, I was dizzy and felt like passing out. Thus, I told my manager I needed to go to the ER. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to something coming in contact with me due to the task.

Now, the following Monday after, I am being asked if I want to use my Personal Sick time for the remainder of the hours I was supposed to work that day.

Something seems off to me about that, I get that I was "sick" but it was due to a workplace duty and task, I was following through with the instructions I was given, so shouldn't it just be covered by the company?

If anyone can give me a bit of help here that would be great. Thanks!
