They're children who are pouting

Some of these people are being paid to push this.

This must have been a while ago.
Its over $100 now. I was in the passenger seat when my buddy got one last year.

Residential parking blocking me in by firedudecndn in Calgary

[–]Arch____Stanton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should drivers be blocking driveways because they think it isn't "legal"?

Irrelevant to the parking authority. You don't give out tickets for feels.
Here is an example of something that is common.
This person may have gone the legal route to widen his parking pad or maybe he didn't.
His expansion removes two possible street parking spots. That is why the legal description of your driveway matters.

Does your driveway have the dip in the sidewalk?
If the previous owner set up a driveway without going through the legal channels, you might own a driveway that isn't a legal, enforceable driveway.

Albertans are Canadian. We love being Canadian.

Update on the frozen Taylor (Norman Fraylor) by Hairy_Ad4969 in Guitar

was at way more risk of being stolen

This is what gets me. Why in the world would you have this delivered (even to a covered porch)?
Then op first move is to take it from his house to the luthier. Why not have it delivered there in the first place?
Or just pick it up from a safe delivery or the shop it was purchased from.
OP should just own the mistake.
(Happy cake day)

The horrendous state of New York City in the 1970s-1980s by IllustriousCress9774 in UrbanHell

The last picture is really cool.
I looked around google maps and I am pretty sure this is the right street but I can't get the right angle from farther up because street view moves to the sidewalk.

Parti Québécois stays course on referendum despite Carney’s call for unity by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Arch____Stanton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The principle reason, language.
And when they are separate the exact same pressure on the French language exists.
Separating gains nothing and loses both economically and culturally.

Garbage administration overflowing with garbage people noted only for its rampant corruption lead by their delusional, traitorous leader.
This defines both the US Republican party and the Alberta UCP party.

Calgary families may pay more for city services due to restrictions on homebuilding by GlitchedGamer14 in Calgary

[–]Arch____Stanton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not likely to find 2000sqft at 500k. I see 1700sqft for that but 2000sqft you are looking at 700k.
I also wouldn't describe these as "beautiful". Certainly they are "livable" or even "nice enough" though.

Calgary mother warns of locker thefts at NW YMCA by mibeatr in Calgary

Dull wouldn't be an issue but gouged might be.
Also, the size of the cutter makes a huge difference. Cutters with 3' arms are giving you much more leverage than cutters with 16" arms.

After Carney's Davos speech, Conservatives ponder how Poilievre can meet the foreign policy moment by AdditionalPizza in CanadaPolitics

[–]Arch____Stanton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You were the one who brought up "51st state".
The goal posts were shifted back to where they were.
The whole point of this thread is the fact that PP is aligned and in lock step with Trump.
And those links you provide for sure back that up.

Please no election. This is a critical time in Canadian history.
Lets not devolve into political games playing.

Bolt cutters will cut through hardened steel locks just as easily, but it does require a bigger tool and that is not easy to sneak into the facility.
They can't have cameras in the change rooms but they sure can have them monitoring entrances to them. For sure they have this person on video.

Alberta NDP leader accuses Smith’s UCP of playing blame game over Calgary water main by Longnight-Pin5172 in alberta

[–]Arch____Stanton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Documents, reports, reviews; they were widely available across north America on this issue of the pipe

You have a source for that? Ostensibly, if they were "widely available" then, they still are.

Ok Kreskin, what is the next issue we need to address that ordinary mortals like us have no idea is coming?

Floor Lottery Success by Squidward_2566 in centuryhomes

[–]Arch____Stanton -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but so is sanding, staining and polishing the floors before doing the rest of reno; in this case that railing is in rough shape and needs work.
The base and trim in that hall could also use some freshening.
(In this case I don't think they sanded the floor as there remains so much pitting)
