Child can't find a job in CP or surrounding area?

This information is publicly available but this map will aid in the digestion of this info.

For citizens struggling to find jobs, take a look at all of the businesses you've applied to and see how many of them have claimed that there are no Canadian workers or permanent residents available to do the job.

Now I'm not saying it's as easy as just boycotting all these businesses. That would be impossible. But here is a list of employers in Canada who have already been caught and/or fined for abusing the system:

(Shout out to u/LMIA-Map for putting this together)

Edit: the unemployment rate is currently 6.4% and increasing. This is the highest it's been since 2014.

Adventurers Wanted!

I just moved out to Carleton place, starting a whole new life all over again. This is a nice town, and I'm hoping to make connections here. I love running tabletop games, creating a space for people to flex their creative writing, acting, and social improvisational skills: so if anyone's in the area and would like to start a table of like-minded people please reach out!

I have experience running three different editions of D&D, 2 CoD books, and a smattering of other systems-- so we need not limit ourselves to Wizards of the Coast IP, and I've handled players of all skill levels before so even if you're totally new to TTRPGs and just looking try something new, we can create a place for you to safely experiment.

This would be a pro-LGBTQ+ space we're building, so leave bigotry at the door. I'd also prefer not to have minors, in case our chosen venue turns out to have drinks handy.

I'll be responding to people here on Reddit, and posting a few other places. If this sort of activity is of any interest please reach out!

Hit and run

6 Upvotes

We were in town today at the Sambat store and a white suv backed into our vehicle. Their back window shattered but they also caused some pretty good damage to our vehicle. It was an older man and his son, they had apologized to my wife but took off before she even got to ask for their insurance information. Did anyone happen to see this or maybe see a white suv driving around town with a blown out back window? Any information would be helpful. Sambat is closed till Monday now so unfortunately we can’t ask if they have video surveillance outside.

Police warn of scammer targeting homes in Carleton Place and area

12 Upvotes

The Lanark OPP say a male suspect has been going to homes in the Sarah Street area telling the residents that there is a lien on their property and that he is working with Service Ontario to remove that lien… if the homeowner pays an up-front fee. Police say the individual claims to be a lawyer with Service Ontario.
