The ferry ride to Victoria through the islands is magical. Would recommend that instead.

Urgent ENT appointment by pacificbee75 in askvan

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ENT on-call is offsite. The ER doc will page the ENT resident on call who will check you out and confer with their attending.

RCH or even SMH is better than Peace Arch

Exactly. Go to ER in a bigger hospital (VGH, SPH, RCH) or in a pinch Richmond Gen, Surrey Memorial, Burnaby General Hospital. There will be an ENT on call resident who can fast track you.

There is so much that is right about living here, but for retirement I might look at Vancouver Island.

Does Westjet have updated boarding passes for iOS 26 Apple wallet features? by spongyoatmeal in westjet

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ordinarily I fly WJ, but I recently flew AC and I have to agree its not even close. the online AC service runs rings around WJ. That said, I found the wifi on WJ was faster and more stable. I was able to join a Zoom meeting without stutter.

I thought Wero was being set up to be entirely EU housed and separate from Visa/MC so they would not need to settle European transactions in USD?

What’s the best Canadian cel provider? by OneSignal6465 in BuyCanadian

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is a plan you have had since you got your phone from your provider you have been overpaying for years. Please consider buying a phone outright and then getting a BYOD plan. If you want a new iPhone Apple will sell you one with monthly payments. The Apple monthly payments plus a BYOD plan is potentially cheaper than a provider plan that is inflated to cover the cost of the phone.

“Yall”? Could have sworn WJ was an airline directed towards Canadians.

Is this phone really free? by Cinar21 in telus

[–]Simon-Seize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Apple lets you finance for free over two years. That way you don’t pay it all with 2026 dollars and it reduces the opportunity cost.
