Salut tout le monde ! Mon copain et moi déménageons à Victoriaville cet été. Il y a décroché un emploi (une super opportunité) ; il est blanc et parle couramment français. Moi, je suis une personne de couleur et je ne parle pas vraiment français (j'ai des notions très basiques, mais je compte apprendre). J'ai entendu dire que le Québec pouvait être raciste en général, et je m'inquiète un peu pour Victoriaville, car c'est une ville plus petite. Comment est-ce pour les personnes de couleur là-bas ? Désolée si mon français est maladroit, j'ai dû utiliser Google pour certaines parties, lol.

hi all, my boyfriend and i are moving to Victoriaville this summer. he got a job there (great opportunity) but he is white and speaks French fluently. i am a person of color and don't really speak French (very basic, but will learn). have heard some stories about Quebec being racist in general but worried about Victoriaville as it is a more small town. what'S it like for POC? Sorry if the French doesn't translate well. i had to use google for some of it lol

hi all, sorry if this has been asked before. my friends and I land around 2am at YYT, but cant check in till 2pm. we've done this before at other airports and usually kill time by napping/walking around the airport. is there much to do/open at YYT during that time? we're gonna try heading to the hotel around 9am just to drop off our bags so we can do stuff downtown, but still have some time on our hands at the airport

our hotel cant accomodate us for an extra day

thanks in advance!

Hi all, i had a sim and plan with Rogers but ended up forgoing the monthly plan. I still have the sim/number and a friend of mine is traveling here for a few days and i want to give them access to it

Is it possible to get a daily or weekly plan so they can use the sim? I don’t want to get a monthly one

Hi all, I f28 have been in a relationship with my bf m28 for about a few months now. Yes I know it's not long.

We met off the apps, and he was extremely intentional with me from day 1. Made all the effort, always double texted/called, remembered everything I ever said to him... genuinely NOTHINg I could complain about at all. My last relationship was extremely toxic and I was extremely averse to the idea of a long-term relationship just because I was scared/worried about things not working out or going through a terrible spiral like I did with my last relationship

we started dating fairly quickly, and at some point we had a pretty huge argument that basically had us broken up for a day. the cause for the argument was he had heard some news about a family member that was extremely overwhelming, and then began to spiral about all aspects of his life and was worried about uncertainty and essentially decided himself that the best thing to do was to end the relationship. the way he spoke to me during this was extreme whiplash I dont think I ever got to the point of being sad over what happened because I simply couldnt believe he could behave that way.

we got back together after a huge/long talk where he explained what had really happened (when we broke up he didnt really have a reason) and that he should have included me in the conversation instead of spiralling. I agreed to get back together. he had said that hopefully with time things would go back to normal, and it did.

fast forward, he spent a week living with me as his apartment was getting repairs done. we had planned to move in together during the summer as he was searching for a new place come September. 2 days after living with me for a week, we had a pretty huge fight over text where I said some offhanded things and lied about turning my location off (I owned up and apologized to this immediately after). but the fight was a bigger issue to him than to me because it lasted a couple of days with him being upset about it.

we were supposed to meet each other, and then he declined saying he was upset about the fight. I respected it and checked in on him the next day. he was still upset... he was supposed to go home for 2 weeks (with a break in between to come see me) and the day after he left. things went 180. He has always had stress regarding his family, job, and some debt and im not sure if spending time with family/talking to them made him more stressed and overwhelmed. he proposed we go on a "break" to which I was shocked and begged to reconcile. he agreed, but it was difficult because he was busy spending time with family and we wouldnt be able to see each other for 2-3 weeks.

while he's gone, I end up losing my phone during a night out. TLDR someone had found it and reached out to my BF as he was the emergency contact. my bf gave the guy my address to return the phone, and apparently after we had met, he had texted my bf some questionable things (asked if I was single/saying he was a terrible emergency contact/if he was my emergency contact he'd do so much better). my bf ended up not texting me for 24 hours and. I got worried, called him a bunch and finally when I got a hold of him he basically said our relationship was done. he didnt want to try anymore, didnt want to speak to me, didnt love me anymore..

I just couldnt believe it, I kept asking why and he said it didnt matter why. he accused me of being behind the stolen phone conversation, he said he couldnt believe a word I said anymore, said he had spoken to other people about our relationship and I just dont get it. I kept asking to slow down and get on a phone call if possible because I couldnt keep up or understand what he was saying. he ended up blocking me

im still in shock over the turn of events, im not sure what to make of it. im trying to think of ways to reconcile, because im so sure this is another event of him being overwhelmed by things like the first time but im losing my mind trying to make sense of things.

forgive me if this is common knowledge, but it was my first time experiencing this. went into Micro Roast Coffee on St Clair W and they had a no cash accepted sign. ive seen this at a lot of places, but the cashier was beating me down when I asked about saying it was the "industry norm". I thought cash was legal tender and SHOULD be accepted?

edit: thanks all! learn something new every day ahaha
