SIRTee15: IT'S NOW OBVIOUS CANADA IS ON ITS WAY TO SELF DESTRUCT, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY BROKEN.
A homeowner is facing assault charges for allegedly injuring an intruder at his home in Lindsay, Ont., according to local police.
The Kawartha Lakes Police Service says it responded to a call on Kent Street at about 3:20 a.m. on Monday.
According to police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment. The two had an "altercation" and the intruder suffered life-threatening injuries, police say, and was later airlifted to a Toronto hospital.
Police say the homeowner is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
The alleged intruder, 41, is also facing charges, including breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. Police say the intruder was also already wanted for unrelated offences.
Self-defence: What's acceptable under Canadian law? While people do have the right to defend themselves and their property if they believe they are facing a threat under Canadian law, those rights "are not unlimited in Canada," Kawartha Lake Police Chief Kirk Robertson issued a statement.
"The law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced," Robertson said.
"This means that while homeowners do have the right to protect themselves and their property, the use of force must be reasonable given the circumstances."
In his statement, Robertson also acknowledged that the case has generated "significant public interest and emotional responses."
"The Kawartha Lakes Police Service appreciates the community's engagement and concern. However, the negative commentary about the officers and their actions is unjust and inaccurate," Robertson said.
So someone with a gun breaks into my home and canada police is telling me I'm expected to show restrain and be careful how I deal with the intruder!!!
These weak, political correct laws are the root cause anarchy and civil disobedience in the west. This was how UK started, now that country is on the brink of a civil war. I can only pray for Canada because they just dont know what they are inviting on their head. The court has to explain how someone who is threatened, first needs to determine what's reasonable before defending themselves. This is ridiculous. |

Sapasenator: About three years ago. It was a bitter winter and I was dining at a restaurant around 11 pm in the night. It was very cold and if I remember correctly, it was -35 degrees Celsius below freezing point and if you pee outside, it freezes before hitting the ground. cold.
The restaurant was filled with everyone white except myself. I looked behind me and it was crowded with delivery drivers working for the delivery app, Skip the Dishes, waiting to pick up food orders. Nine delivery drivers and all black guys mostly Nigerian looking.
Imagine what it means to have to drive constantly in the bitter cold to deliver food when most people are either sleeping or enjoying themselves in a warm restaurant.
Some of these guys are even delivering with brand new SUVs purchased on credits and after a deeper dive, I came to realize our people here live mostly above their means to impress fellow Nigerians. They buy houses or cars they cannot afford and now have to work three jobs and drive on the side to maintain their fake lifestyles.
This is not a healthy way to live guys, learn to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while, do not live above your means and the fact that you are pre-authorized for that big mortgage, loan, or line of credit does not mean you have to accept.
Learn to live your life without trying to please or impress anyone and occasionally, take time off to have fun and enjoy yourself, take vacations. This is an uninformed conclusion. I know some people do this because they are bored and wouldn't want to waste their time doing nothing, so they do this to get busy or engaged. You know that your going to a restaurant to eat in itself can be tagged as "trying to please or impress anyone". Since I moved to this place, I have always lived on one income and it's sufficient for me, but the challenge is that I am home by 5pm. From 5pm to 11pm there's no much to do. To make it worse, my job is a 4 day work week hybrid. So I only work 4 days a week, Monday toThursday, 1 day at home 3 days at work. That's why I am currently seeking an additional job. If I get a second job, you will say that I am living above my means. That's not always the case. |

francophone134: Hello brothers and sisters I beg you people please it’s it’s time I speak out. I’ve been in Winnipeg for almost 8 months now and I can’t even get a job. I’ve applied to all kind of jobs both online and in person and everything seems daunting. I beg you all please help me with connection. I beg you in the name of God almighty. Bills choke and I’m out of funds to even pay rent. I need a connection for job my people please. I am currently in Winnipeg Manitoba. Please someone should ransom me abeg. Have you had any interviews? if you are applying and no one is reaching out then you need to take a closer look at your resume. Sometimes people suggest you dumb down your resume so you don't appear over qualified. I have a friend who did an interview when he came to Canada and the recruiter said "I will be doing you a disservice to employ you because you are overqualified.........". Have you tried going through recruitment agencies? they have access to jobs that are sometimes not listed. Also try applying outside your territory or province, you may be able to get something. |

Please I want to confirm something my people.
I recently relocated from east Canada to west Canada.
Someone told me that the government refunds moving expenses. Is it true? would they refund the full cost or is there a maximum?
Are there other conditions for such reimbursements? |

lovetree: Hi everyone. Please I need your kind input. My family and I just got PPR and intend to travel by June. However, my passport is expiring by October. I have started the passport renewal process and will be capturing on next week. Now I don't know if to submit the old passtport for stamping and travel with both old and new pasaports(I don't know if this is possible) or wait till I get the new passport and submit that for stamping My concern is that if I'm to submit the new passport, will it be an issue since ircc does not have that on file. Or will it be easy to just send ircc a copy of the new passport, so they add it to my file, and then go ahead to submit the new passport for stamping. I'm really not sure of the next steps to take. Please kindly advice. Thank you Submit the new one. The new passport has the previous passport number in it. That's what we did when we got PPR. |

The guy behind the account above is notorious scammer by name Anthony Munachi Okeke. Please report all his fraudulent comments. I have mentioned to you severally that when you see a fraudulent activity, report the account to the bank and CBN with screenshots of his posts as proof. That is how his UBA bank account was blocked. It is not enough to report to the Mods since he can easily create different accounts on Nairaland. Only when the bank account is blocked that the fraudster becomes handicapped, but verify that it is him. |

Meanwhile I'm suspecting he's the one behind the Faith handle claiming to be a single mother with health issue. Those spam posts are enough proof needed to report. |

shagamite: I need info on the auto industry of Canada. Can a car mechanic get a good job there and is it saturated? Did they get a good pay at least unlike here wey we dey look dem anyhow Yes car mechanics are in the demand. I don't think it is saturated. As a mechanic, you have the opportunity of starting your own business when you get your red seal. Infact, some mechanics earn well as apprentice and choose not to further their education to becoming journeymen. In addition to salary, a lot of apprentices fix cars for people as a side hustle. |

Teau: Hello People, I salute, please i need your advise.
Any1 ever won a bid from SGI salvage cars in Regina. Won a 2007 Acura TL, what is "Require mechanical Inspection/not branded" Hail Damage, 305,706km. Estimate bill it says CAD5,719. Would I have to pay this aside from the money I bidded? Is it a run and drive?? You will need to carry out a mechanical inspection to determine the problem(s) on the car. The damage was caused by hailstorm. You are not going to pay that amount before taking the car but fixing the car will cost around that amount if it is repaired in Canada. |
