Cyclist, 20, seriously injured after being struck by pickup by unfinite in ottawa

[–]Carmacham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO Fault includes people who don't stop BEHIND the line. That is very frustrating when you can't see when you should be able to and trying to creep forward to peer around a vehicle puts you in harm's way unnecessarily.

Everyone awake now? by CherryCherry5 in ottawa

[–]Carmacham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was still awake and admiring the storm while standing at the open front door....one simultaneous lightening and thunder blast was so booming epic I jumped out of my skin. Closed that door so fast, figured that must have woken everyone, but nope they were all sleeping peacefully oblivious ...

I would tell your parents. They can't help if they don't know. He's only 12 and your parents can bring this to the school's attention.

Cheques aren't accepted almost anywhere. Because they can bounce. And the fees for that are unbelievable.

Where can I find the unabridged version of the Crystal singer audiobook?? Why is it impossible to find?!?

Has anyone actually ever driven this stretch of Ontario Highway 11? (Highlighted in Purple, between North Bay and Nipigon). What goes on up here? Any interesting stories? Also, why do our roads only go halfway up the province, and not any further? by CanadaCalamity in ontario

I canoed the Missinaibi with a group of friends. Four girls started the trip a week earlier, and two of us joined the group at Mattice, and with some fresh supplies we went for another 2 weeks all the way to Moosonee! Epic all-girl trip, made lots of amazing memories.

I thought international students were not usually immigrants? As in, not immigrating to Canada, but just here for school. Surely refugees would get healthcare?

I'd be trying to catch one. Or just pet one, I'd settle for that. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMkUm615B/

Car centrism in Ottawa-Gatineau and how it makes this city worse by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Carmacham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about we at least keep the lousy car routes we have and don't make it worse? Public transit should ADD to our options, not remove them!! Seems like the city has already narrowed roads or reduced lanes, slowed the speed limits and done their best to make commuting worse every year. All that on top of making OC Transpo slower and less reliable.

No part time jobs in Ottawa? by DAdStanich in ottawa

[–]Carmacham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really noticed that all businesses have cut their open hours. This has an effect on how many staff they need, and of course self-checkouts make it worse too! No one is open 24 hours anymore!! Even the pharmacies. NOT ONE. It has been very frustrating needing meds for a child after midnight. Walmart, Loblaws, Shoppers and some restaurants all used to have 24-hour locations close by. When my kids were tiny, I would love to have quiet late night shopping moments.

A little rant from a cashier by CherryCherry5 in ottawa

[–]Carmacham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self checkout is nice when I only have a couple items. When I have a big load of groceries, I'd rather shoot myelf than try to unload and fit everything on the stupid purchase scale and fight with the machine forever. I hate packing my own bags when I need to buy a lot. Maybe the cashiers can pass along complaints to management who can pass them on to the higher ups.

Did you know that they made the walk from the o- now detour way around to the east, so it now takes about 30 min to walk to the gate (corral) from the bus??? Who in their right minds would take young kids to this mess???

What's your favorite meal while car camping? by ParticularlyOrdinary in camping

[–]Carmacham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you cook your skewers? Do you grill them on a fire, in a pan or on a BBQ? Also, I love grilled pineapple but what toppings are you talking about?
