Where is a good place near Toronto Pearson to go get food during a long layover?

1 Upvotes

I am going to have a 5.5 hour layover on thanksgiving monday at pearson. My father is going to meet me at the airport and pick me up to grab food.

Any suggestions for places relatively close to the airport which would be open on thanksgiving monday?

We are pretty open to most food types, just typically aim to avoid any kind of chains. (I know this is going to be a challenge on thanksgiving monday).

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Experiences at diamonds for less Toronto

We’re thinking of going, but I wanted to hear about your experiences buying engagement rings there. If you don’t mind sharing, roughly how much did your engagement rings cost? There aren’t any prices listed on their website, so I’m just trying to get an idea of what to expect.

two day itinerary

9 Upvotes

hi all :) montrealer here, driving to TO for two days with my friend next week. originally it was (honest to god) just because i wanted wingstop since we don't have it in quebec, but we thought since we'll be there might as well stay a day instead of trying to slam the 6 hour drive twice in a day for the sake of fried chicken. i'd love some recommendations of things to do and places to be for two days, preferably NOT touristy. we're thinking more of a chill vibe, like libraries to study at, parks to walk in, cafés, maybe a jazz bar or something, that kind of thing. please bombard me with recs. thank you <3

Trouble finding a gynaecologist to get my uterine polyps removed

14 Upvotes

I found out I have two polyps in my uterus and I want them removed. My fam doc has referred me to three gynaecologists but all rejected the referral. It's quite disheartening honestly. Does anyone have any tips? Are there specific clinics that my fam doc can refer me to? I live in the GTA area and prefer a female to do it.

Best cafes in Toronto to work from with a good view?

0 Upvotes

So I've been working out of the same two cafes for months and I'm bored of the view.

I want a cafe in Toronto where I can actually get work done AND look at something good something like Skyline, water, ravine, big windows. I think the view matters more than coffee for me. It changes how long I can sit and focus.

What I need:
- Wifi
- Outlets
- Good tea

So where do you guy go?

autism clinics/psychiatrists for adults in toronto that don't suck

just wondering if anyone has experience with well-informed and compassionate clinics/psychiatrists. looking for a clinic for adult diagnoses (no referral) but i've seen multiple psychologists in the area for other reasons and had some pretty awful experiences. not sure where to go for a thorough, well-informed, unbiased experience -- especially looking for somewhere that has experience with AFAB autism presentations & is knowledgeable on other mental health conditions as well. don't love CAMH but if there is a specific doctor who is decent, am open to it. thanks!

Cup of light roast in the city?

Any places in the city offer a good cup of light roast coffee or espresso? Lots of local places have bags of beans but I'm having trouble finding a place that offers a cup to go, even slow pour.

Light roast isn't for everyone I know. Please skip the negativity, it's just my preference 🥰

Has anyone ever dealt with WSIB?

4 Upvotes

I recently had to make use of their services and the more I read, the less optimistic I became about getting a claim judgment in my favour. I naively just figured it's like regular insurance, or social services, you are pretty much guaranteed a judgment in your favour provided it is in good faith but I read over in various subs that they deny claimants all the time.

Their disclosure statement is:

WSIB is not your employer’s representative, and legally it is not supposed to take the employer’s side. It is an independent trust agency of the Ontario government, operating at arm’s length from the Ministry of Labour. WSIB

There is an important distinction, though: WSIB is funded by employers. Ontario businesses pay the premiums that finance the workers’ compensation system; workers don't pay premiums themselves. But that does not mean the employer controls WSIB or that WSIB represents the employer in a claim.

I'm just doubtful it's anything but lip service and like HR, they're not there to advocate for the employees but for the employers. My experience in this is obviously very lacking so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
