What has happened to the younger generation? Today at the pioneer gas bar on Dunlop and Ferndale an elderly lady in her late 80s approached the counter asking if someone could assist her in putting air in her tires, the 3 attendants said they didn’t know how, the woman then turned to the line waiting to pay for gas and asked if someone could help her, the young man in front of me put his head down and ignored her, the one behind me was fast to say no , I told her let me pay for my gas and I would come rite out to do it! She was so grateful that someone was helping her, sweet lady and very thankful , I refused payment for the 2 minutes it took to fill all of her tires which were all low ! Has this younger generation become that ignorant? Those attendants who work at this gas station should know how to do this as part of the job incase of situations like this ! So sad !!! Source

I'm sick and tired of people who use the Dunlop West exit and legit STAY on the highway to get onto it. I legit just had to hammer on my brakes (I drive a truck, so it takes time to stop) and skidded to the right of the vehicle in question, almost hitting the bridge. The dude knew he messed up and took off, likely to the next exit. If you stop on the 400 to get to this exit, you're a moron. Source

Hey again, This afternoon I would like to tell you about another Fresh Food Weekly Recipient

Hey again, This afternoon I would like to tell you about another Fresh Food Weekly recipient who is actually the exact same age as me. As always, her story is really upsetting because it highlights an array of problems in “the system”. Firstly, this woman has a diagnosis for a crippling disease with no cure and it’s going to take at least three years for her to get any kind of financial aid because three years is how long it takes to “process” her application. Secondly, when she applied to get financial aid, one of the Barrie case workers was condescending to her. And thirdly, even if she does get approved for ODSP in 2025, she’ll be lucky to get even $900/month… and I know this because it’s what many others have shown me. This is her story… “I’ve recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and I’m only 33-years-old,” the Barrie woman told me. MS is a disease where the nervous system attacks the nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. When this happens, it caus…
