    Any Canadians know about via Manitoba?

    Hey, Mickey & Blue here, Me and my pup will be full time in our SUV conversation in 16 days. Anxiety is high for me. Coming from Ottawa going to BC this fall. Manitoba has a self-isolate 14 days restriction that I fall into. Has anyone done this? Did you have to do a hotel or could you go...

    I have given my notice to vacate

    Mickey and Blue here! Part of my story is that I have noise sensitivity and living in an apartment building has caused me immense anguish. They kicked out my noisy neighbours, I had a month of peace in June, then they put in another bunch of noisy neighbours. Last night was the last straw. I...
