Hey everyone!

My wife and I are from Brazil, and we've been traveling the Americas in our Brazilian-plated Mercedes-Benz Sprinter motorhome.

We started our journey in Brazil, drove all the way south to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, and then headed north toward Alaska.

Three years after leaving Brazil, we finally made it to Newfoundland, Canada, still driving our Brazilian-registered motorhome with its original Brazilian license plate!

I posted about our arrival because I wonder if we might be the first Brazilians to reach Newfoundland this way, driving our own vehicle all the way from Brazil.

Has anyone here ever seen another vehicle with Brazilian plates in Newfoundland or Labrador? Or heard of anyone who has done a similar trip?

I'm attaching a photo of our motorhome and its Brazilian plate.

We'd love to hear your stories!

Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷

I'm sure she doesn't have a totally biased opinion on data centres being the CEO of TechNL and having hosted a tech summit last week where each speaker highlighted the benefits of using AI 🫠

Get ready to stand up for our province. We don't need data centres here, especially when we brag about how amazing our environment is lol. Praying this bubble officially bursts soon. So sick of these tech big wigs forcing AI on us at every chance they get.

I'm a teacher in Newfoundland and Labrador, and I'm hoping to pursue some workplace accommodations.

I've been in contact with an NLTA rep, but I'm not feeling particularly confident about the guidance I've received so far. I don't want this to come across as criticism of the association or anyone involved. I'd just like to make sure I'm approaching things properly and giving myself the best chance of getting the accommodations I'm seeking.

Ideally, I'd like to find someone outside the NLTA who's knowledgeable about workplace accommodations and could review my situation, provide ongoing advice, and help me navigate the process. I'm willing to pay for professional assistance if necessary.

Does anyone know of a person or organization in NL that might offer this kind of support?

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I called the occupational therapy department at the Miller centre and they said that's not their area of practice, they wouldn't be able to help me.

I don't have coverage for OT through my employer's health insurance and I can't afford to pay out of pocket.

Not sure when I took this, pretty sure it was this year.

Bear with me since im a bit pissed from getting a ticket for going 20-30 over in a construction zone on the highway, but I'm honestly so sick of the construction zones with no impact or work. Maybe im out to lunch, but in my experience 75% of the time you see signage for an upcoming construction zone, theres nothing happening. For that reason, when i see the signs i typically slow from 110ish to 75ish to gauge what the situation is and act accordingly. If there literally no impact to the road and no work anywhere, i continue through at around 70. Well i got screwed with a ticket. My own fault i suppose.

Question im left with is why construction zones arent mandated to be turned down (signs down or bagged) when work is not ongoing and the highway is unimpacted. I see construction signs now and I literally dont believe them due to the "boy who cried wolf" mentality. Should contractors be required to be more accurate in marking when impacts are actually going to happen? Anyway, rotted dttc lol.

Edit: This was a camera ticket - im going to contest based on 717.02: "Speed limits must reflect the road conditions in existence at the time. Signs must be removed or changed immediately when the condition changes. When the road condition does not warrant reduced speed during non-working periods, overnight, or weekends, the signs shall be removed or covered.". I dont recall exactly what was going on when i was there, but burden of proof is on them to prove the reduction in speed was warranted on a weekend.

Will they refer you out/stop seeing you after so many sessions or can you attend long term?

Not sure if anybody has posted about this already but I noticed 4 tall skinny black poles, 1 on each median of each exit/entry to the roundabout. Didnt get a clear look to see if they are cameras or not. Anybody have any info on what they are?

Hey Gang, those of you with small businesses, can you share who you use to do your corporate tax?

Online Ordering has been temporarily unavailable for several days now. Yikes. I wonder what the problem is?

I’m sure they all have their downfalls but what do you all consider the better cell provider? I was with Telus and never really had a problem travelling around north and south east Newfoundland. Switched to Roger’s to save a few bucks on family plan and it was the worst decision ever. Service is terrible pretty much everywhere. I’m about to switch back to Telus but thought I might ask about others experience- how’s bell mobility ? Or any others ?

Been struggling to have a contractor come to our place to replace and tie in our eavestrouph to the weeping tiles since we had some water in the basement in the spring.

Anyone know of anyone that might be available to complete this work before the soil starts to freeze over ?

edit: in metro area

Where are my Xena fans at?

What are your remedies to get through a cold or flu season? Along with the usual soda crackers, ginger ale and cough syrup?

Does anyone know if there are shops on the Avalon that do engine intake cleanups (walnut blasting) for GDI engines? My car is approaching 120k and I’d like to get a quote for a tune up if I can afford it.
