Hi Guys,

I currently work a job that provides dental coverage. Initially when I completed my probation period I was giving a registration form that states the possibility to opt out of my dental coverage. I didn't check that. Consequently I could no longer go back. Later on, had dental work that was not covered under my current private dental insurance but is covered under the CDCP. Tbh I was told my dental insurance which has a limit of 1000 and 80% coverage is bad. Not sure though about that cuz my HR told my overall insurance of manulife is standard everywhere.

Sorry for yapping. Point here is there a way to opt-out? My dental clinc receptionist said try to opt-out for next year upon renewal and they have no way of finding out. Plus, keep in mind this is literally covered by our taxes. If you are not covered and you meet the financial requirement since you're paid slightly above minimum wage you can do that.

I'm a new guy in this country I'm not trying to get in trouble with the government.

Any tip and advice is appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

​

On my commute today back from work I was standing infront of the blue seats it wss pretty crowded, right, typical rush hour. Some senior arrived at their stop so they stood up making the blue seats available. As I was about to sit, she point that a lady want to sit, to which the lady state that she doesn't want to so I take her words face value and sit. Not that deep. The justice warrior lady tells me why didn't I stand up it's a priority seat. And I told her, "she said she doesn't want to sit, people can speak for themselves" I genuinely usually avoid those seats and all and make them available whenever I spot a senior should I sit on them. But yeah, apparently the guy next to me then attempt to stand up and urge her to sit, and idk but it felt like it was an agreement that I should've stood up blah blah, the lady maintain her position and decline. I talk to someone about it and they tell me you need to be careful society in North America sees you as a black man and don't give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm new in this country like 8 months in. I never thought that people see me like that cuz I never see people like that I judge bssed on character. I geniunely do not care how others perceive me and will not allow myself to be timid or be bullied in the name of conflict avoidance. This is such disempowering way rooted in fear that erodes into self worth and make you fearful with inferiority complex that you're less than and need to know your place. I've always thought that people believe me, feel comfortable around me and see me for who I'm and call me their friend cuz I'm very empathetic I always been reserved but I bever shy from speaking up when I feel like it. Another thing, is that our thoughts n believe create our reality? But in that situation I wasn't given the benefit of the doubt... so she might be right.

What do you guys think on that bus incident, and secondly, what's your take on the person's comment about being a black man in North America.
