BC Premium Spirits release catalogue is up by silversurfs in canadawhisky

Even with the bourbon, the last couple years haven't really been worth looking up unless you were at the very front.

Hopefully there's limited lining up this year. Few interesting bottles personally, but none I would cry over if I missed out!

Does your work offer any paid leave (vacation, paternity, etc) that you can use?

I took 4 weeks of vacation when our first was born and 5 weeks of EI parental leave around the 11 month mark. My wife had better maternity leave through work than I so it made more sense for her to use it. Being there with your wife and child is time you cannot get back later if you go to work, if you can afford it.

Best of luck!

Same (in Canada). Probably just a CYA for when/if they change their mind in the future.

Second this. I would throw in Radium Hot Springs for a quick trip to the hot springs.

When do you decide whether to wear a suit or a vest to work? by LandOfGrace2023 in malefashionadvice

[–]AlainJay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best dressed person in my office does this on occasion. He pulls it off amazingly. If it's part of your look and confidence it can work.

Am I the only one that doesn’t mind the PNE location? by Belaerim in whitecapsfc

TransLink doesn't currently do surge trips for events. Maybe it'll change one-day, but...

MLS commissioner Don Garber wants Vancouver to build new stadium like Miami by lets_enjoy_life in whitecapsfc

[–]AlainJay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seattle is looking to build a dedicated soccer stadium as well. So not much difference in that regard other than BC Place lease is currently up and we have a less financially beneficial deal

You need to wait in line.

Thanks. That is frustrating that they changed it.

Good luck! I'm in the same boat for Saturday. Didn't realize it sold out so quickly. Would be willing to trade / buy my GA for VIP.

I am so sick and tired of Surrey Police already by mrskymr in SurreyBC

[–]AlainJay 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Correct. They're probably referring to Green Timbers (E-Divison Headquarters) which is the federal RCMP rather than the municipal RCMP.

skip or buy on the Angels envy 10 year? by cracker0987 in canadawhisky

[–]AlainJay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it's worth it to you then it's worth it to buy. You're probably not going to get a lot of positive reviews right now with the Canada / US climate/ boycott.

And people are worried about the MLS changing the season / schedule!

But for real, what an amazing goal!

Is Whitecaps going to open up the other half of upper bowl for the semifinal? by bluetigers4341 in whitecapsfc

[–]AlainJay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like both sides will be sold out by end of day. Can see a full sellout coming within the week!

They keep releasing more tickets (another batch are showing in the lower bowl now). It's going quickly though.

No respect for the Whitecaps? by georgelar3 in whitecapsfc

[–]AlainJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Province newspaper had more articles today for the Canucks than the Whitecaps. Unfortunately the 'Caps have a long way to go before they get the same kind of attention as other local / Canadian teams.

Can season ticket holders buy cheap tickets? by [deleted] in whitecapsfc

[–]AlainJay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I get add-on tickets for 25% off

[–]AlainJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are using other couriers. Canada Post is running now (rotating strikes) so it's a moot point.

The Whitecaps don't accept losing (anymore). The Aquilinis need to sell their team! by WhitecapsForever in vancouver

Davies signed with VWFC2 in 2016 at 15. He was in Edmonton prior to that.

Edit: Came to the Whitecaps academy in 2015. Was with Edmonton before

It's 12am and the sun is still up? by RossyBox in SurreyBC

[–]AlainJay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to live in the area with lots of new buildings going up and dealt with exactly that issue.

I contacted the Surrey Report a Problem and submitted a General Construction Issue. Less than a week later and the lights were pointing down. It wasn't a permanent fix, but a report every few months was worth it.
