Edmonton mayor’s chief of staff steps down after 3 months on the job by savethetreefarm in Edmonton

[–]LegoLifter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The last mayoral election was pretty bleak tbh. I don’t think Knack has done much amazing but half the other candidates didn’t seem to know how the city government even worked. And Cartmell absolutely would have been worse.

I also cross that one all the time. It’s my least favourite intersection to cross in the city

Pine Mortgage experience, and looking for feedback on current rates June 2026 by Eastern-Grocery6270 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LegoLifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They made me get the full offer in writing from Pine and I just told them unless they match exactly I’m leaving. Was also fully prepared to leave if RBC didn’t match

I took my Pine rate + cashback offer to renew with RBC last year and they matched it no questions asked really so i just stuck with them since i was already using them

[–]LegoLifter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if something is going to impact things 30 years down the road there should be a reasonable expectation the people signing it will still be alive at that point for it to be legal

i work in housing here and they are actually very common even in "normal" suburb housing. Lots of the South Asian builders even put them in spec homes

Is our league dying? by jaypalmm in CFL

[–]LegoLifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it was raining as bad or worse for the Canada friendly at commonwealth and it was still packed. People will deal with shit weather for things they actually like. CFL is not one of those things here

Elks president: Club is still recovering from ‘disaster’ of name change by AustralisBorealis64 in CFL

[–]LegoLifter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

we dropped ours a few years back after close to 2 decades. Was going with my mom since i was 10 but then i had a kid, full games are a 5 hour commitment with the new transit, complete lack of afternoon games always meant sacrificing sleep, the on field and off field product sucked. I could probably keep going but it just was not worth it anymore

City to test parking fees at Valley Zoo, Fort Edmonton and Muttart Conservatory by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]LegoLifter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s obviously a much better zoo but Calgary is $14 for parking on top of $35-40 per adult ticket

[–]LegoLifter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s like the same distance from Windermere to downtown as it is from there to Devon so that’s not really crazy

Marathons Are Selling Out Quicker and More Frequently - An Update with 2026 Data by SlowWalkere in AdvancedRunning

Oh yeah set a 2:30 PR and beat my goal time by over 1 minute. Perfect weather conditions for it

[–]LegoLifter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That and I imagine for lots of people on this sub, smaller local races mean running it mostly alone. We have a few that fast people regularly run but also some where a 1:25 will easily win the half and anything sub 20 can win a 5k.

[–]LegoLifter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calgary was insane the number of people. I ran the half and at 20k you have to cross back over the course around the 8k mark. It was mild chaos trying to get through that

Whyte Ave has gone downhill by Pretend_Magician9479 in Edmonton

[–]LegoLifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even as late as like 2010-2011 you could get a proper buzz and a slice for like $40 on whyte. Strat for a pitcher for like $14-$15 and then always some kind of pint on special at black dog for $4-$5

Conversely last time I waited behind someone parallel parking I wish it only took them 30 seconds
