No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!
So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”
Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.
A lady around here just got 2 years in jail for being a nurse for 20 years.
She just realised a nurse in her area had the same name, stole her credentials and started working.
“ [Lawyer] said the woman was even responsible for training others.
There were some cases where, in the operating room, doctors noticed she struggled with certain medical devices, but that wasn’t enough to give her away, said [other Lawyer] .”
Systemic racism against Indigenous Peoples in Canada is very real and present, especially in the health system.
Today, Joyce Echaquan, an Indigenous woman from Manawan First Nation, died in horrible conditions and around racist staff at Joliette hospital in Montreal city. She shared a live video of her on Facebook crying for help in her mother tongue, saying that she received too much medication. In the video, we can also hear two caregivers saying violent and harmful words to her, like “fucking fat woman, it’s better if you’re dead” “are you done joking around”
This is so revolting, and unfortunately it’s a reality for the Indigenous community here. They’re completely marginalized. The health care system doesn’t care about them.
I can’t really express the pain I felt for the past two days. I cried all day, I was only thinking about the family. I didn’t know until recently that she is family, she is my mom’s cousin and it breaks my heart.
Those pictures are from different community, different nations from Quebec. Even non-indigenous were there, for Joyce Echaquan… another stolen sister.

Last week, Marylène Lévesque, a 22-year-old sex worker employed by a Quebec City massage parlour, was murdered by 51-year-old Eustachio Gallese. Lévesque agreed to meet with the man at a hotel in the city’s Ste-Foy district, but never made it home. Gallese later surrendered to local police and told them to retrieve her body from his hotel room.
The death of a young woman is horrific enough. But the details that would soon surface would make many of us question the inner failings of our justice system and a world that continues to treat sex workers as dispensable.
In 2006, Gallese was sentenced to life in prison for the brutal death of his girlfriend, with no possibility of parole for 15 years. Thirty-two-year-old Chantale Deschenes had been savagely beaten to death with a hammer and repeatedly stabbed. Gallese then took the time to scribble vile insults about her on the bedroom wall before turning himself in to police. This wasn’t a one-time offence. He already had a history of conjugal violence with a previous partner in 1997.
Even though the Parole Board initially found that he posed “a high risk of violence,” they later inexplicably changed that to a “moderate risk” and nine years later Gallese won conditional release to a halfway house. He had been out on day parole since March of 2019. While out, he was apparently allowed to see sex workers “in order to address [his] sexual needs.”
When the Parole Board decided to allow Gallese to see sex workers as a halfway solution to his needs being met and his anger defused, they consciously or unconsciously took the decision to treat sex workers as less than human.
They didn’t consider sex workers as part of the public they aimed to protect. Instead, they treated them as possible collateral damage, as the frontline to probable violence. It was an experiment they were willing to undertake with the bodies and lives of sex workers.
They knowingly gambled with these women’s safety as a way to provide a convicted violent killer with a human outlet. Even if the risk of violence was “moderate,” it wouldn’t be faced by the general public. After all, sex workers sign away their rights to safety and dignity when they start working in this field, right?
By treating sex workers as a non-consenting panacea for misogyny and violent tendencies, the parole board placed this young woman in a position where she was unknowingly providing services to a violent man who felt entitled to her, her body and, eventually, her life.
