I'm from Vancouver.....went to the Stones concert using the tunnel bus. All the transit employees we encountered were super helpful from the supervisor at the bus station to the driver who dropped us off in Detroit and wishes us well. Thanks for making it so easy and stress free to go to the concert. :0)

I was at the mall tonight and had been there a very long time helping my mom do stuff with her cellphone, ran to Timmie's for a pick me up and went to The ladies washroom, I noticed these two pink notes on the mirror and smiled so. Big..it was such a nice thing to see and after the busy day I was having it was just what I needed! The world needs more of this! Good. Job whoever did this!

Lost my Samsung galaxy 3 after I left it on the roof of my car and drove away. I drove from Lafferty and front road in lasalle to highway 18 to expressway to Howard Ave. It had a black otterbox case around it. I have now got a new phone but would love to still get the phone back or at least the memory card and SIM card. I don't care to get the phone back in good shape or the case just the cards as they hold pictures of my son when he was first born and in the NICU for the first week that I can never get back. If you find the phone and turn it on the home screen picture is of my daughter in a pink sweater with snow falling down on her. PLEASE HELP

Just want to take a minute to thank the windsor police officer that stopped to help two ladies that had car trouble ...you didn't have to stop but u did and stayed until we figured it out..wasnt an "emergency" but to us it was and we thank you!!!

Fresh produce, dirty scabbing: The Loblaws model

Loblaws is pressuring its New Brunswick workers to scab in Ontario



The following is a message from Patrick Colford, New Brunswick Federation of Labour president. Colford reports that Loblaws is pressuring its non-union Atlantic Superstores employees in New Brunswick to scab on striking Loblaws workers in Ontario. It is reported that Loblaws is threatening retaliation if the request is refused. Unionized workers with UFCW are on strike at nine stores in Ontario, spanning Windsor, Chatham and Sarnia. An additional 60 Loblaws-owned stores in Ontario are voting on a contract until July 8 with a strike deadline of July 11. Rankandfile.ca editors

The New Brunswick Federation of Labour office has been contacted by employees working at Atlantic Superstores in New Brunswick. These workers are being asked to travel to work at other Loblaws-owned stores in Ontario where workers are currently on strike. If the workers refuse, we have been told that the company is threatening retaliation, including possibly reducing their work hours. Says Patrick Colford, NBFL President.

1,600 workers unionized with United and Commercial Food Workers (UFCW) local 175 & 633, working at nine Loblaws-owned stores in southeastern Ontario have been on strike since July 2nd. Another 12,000 workers, unionized with UFCW 1000A who work at an additional 60 Loblaws-owned stores in Ontario, are in a strike position since July 5th [strike deadline is now delayed until July 11th RF.ca].

A labour union could protect New Brunswick workers from the tactics being used by Atlantic Superstore to pressure their workers to cross Ontario picket lines to work, concludes President Colford. If Atlantic Superstore workers in New Brunswick want to learn more about how to protect themselves, they can contact our office.

If you were shopping at FROM BEAN TO SPROUT on Sunday July 5th, I have your boot. You purchased a pair of slippers for your daughter and a pair of cheetah boots/ slippers as a gift. You must have dropped one of the boots on the way out and I found it. I also found an earring that I think belongs to your daughter. They are at the store if you see this.

I just want to thank the wonderful gentleman named Troy in Riverside that helped my grandma up when she fell while getting out of her car at Metro. Not only did he help her up he waited until the ambulance came and gave her his water and nutrigraine bar. (She's a diabetic). Good to see that there are still thoughtful people out there. If anyone knows him can you please put me in contact with him, i cant thank him enough and it makes me cry just writing this. I will definitely pay it forward. ;)

I am posting for a dear friend who is in desperate need of a place to live ASAP. Liza has a heart of gold, is a well kept, single woman, living the life of a pet rescuer. She currently has quite a few cats enclosed inside a barn type structure behind her rental where shes lived for many years. (cat sanctuary- if you will) Her problem is as such... The landlord has decided to sell the house and although Liza was given a two month notice, she has found nothing suitable that will allow pets. She is in urgent need of a place to rent for her and these tamed, clean cats, by Saturday! If you know of anyone that can help, has a house with barn type structure available, please comment below.
