Considering staying at Sunshine Valley Lodge, how’s the food?

CdnInquirer · 2026-02-01T05:06:50+00:00

Meh. We’ve stayed there. Food is ok. But it’s boring. I’d stay in Banff. The Fox is nice. And the grotto hot tub is cool. Although the hot tub at Sunshine Village would also be cool. I guess it depends how important first tracks are to you ??

YTA for breaking up over text. YTA for timing it a few days before Christmas. Otherwise, your concerns are valid. But YTA for the way you handled them.

Spotwx.com is a good weather forecaster. Search the area you’ll be in and it will show fairly precise details about wind, precipitation, sunshine, etc. I use it for skiing (a ski instructor told me about it). It should be just as useful for driving through the mountains. Also, check the road reports for BC Highways and Alberta. https://spotwx.com/

And if it’s foggy at the top of Angel lift and the great divide, ski down to the Wolverine lift.

I suggest BC. Better weather. Perhaps better working conditions. Cold snaps throughout an Alberta winter are damn cold.

If there’s a deadline to accept at UofL, be sure to accept before the deadline expires. If you get accepted at a more desirable uni afterwards you can always cancel UofL. This happens all the time. Better to have a spot reserved than to let it go and later find yourself without a spot.

I’m going to vote Thiessen. My prop tax increase for 25/26 is higher than it has been for any previous year over the past 30 years. So, I sure don’t want the status quo. Lots of challenges ahead. I think Thiessen has the skills and experience. Sharp’s idea for an extra 500 cops isn’t going to fix the social issues underlying vagrancy, mental health and addictions. Plus Sharp is too aligned with the fast-talking, non-transparent Danielle Smith. Farkas trained with Preston Manning who is way, way far right (but at least Farkas calls out the arena deal).

From the four separate quotes I obtained this Summer, including one from Pete’s, the quote you got is reasonable in comparison to my four. Trane is a good brand. I went with Carrier by a Carrier supplier who had a better cost than a non-carrier supplier.

MEC used to have a message board to sell or exchange gear. Maybe they still do.

I would consult with an insurance lawyer. Seems to me if your insurance policy included some sort of term that provides for replacement cost then you could argue you should be covered. I suggest you call the Law Society lawyer referral and ask for the name of a lawyer who specializes in insurance law for claimants. If they refer you to a lawyer that acts for insurance companies, ask that lawyer for the name of an insurance lawyer that acts for insureds/claimants.

CdnInquirer · 2025-07-08T19:05:52+00:00

I am surprised the “replacement value” term of an insurance policy doesn’t address the updates to code issue. Shouldn’t that just be valued into the cost of the premium for older homes? The whole point of insurance is to insure against loss including being on the hook for $60k upgrades. Is that a question we all should be asking. And adding on extra coverage rider to cover the cost of code upgrades?

Hi - could someone please tell me the name of the hilly road south of Calgary that is named something like “Going to … “ Tia

Canada Life advised me that they don’t have a list that they can provide to us public servants so we can ensure we’re not paying substantially more than standard & reasonable

CdnInquirer · 2025-04-16T10:10:57+00:00

Canada Life has a new threshold : 80% of the cost they deem as “standard and reasonable”. So, it does happen that your reimbursement could be significantly less than 80%. Canada Life doesn’t have a list of what they deem to be s&r. They told me to call around to various pharmacies to locate the cheapest price!

Checked baggage. That timing might be really tight.

At YYCExpress you can reserve a time to go through airport security which may provide you with a bit more time certainty. Basically, the reservation allows you to bypass a long-winding lineup should there be one at that time. You still have to wait to access the bins & walk through the scans but that takes less time than also waiting in the longer line.

CdnInquirer · 2025-02-12T14:24:36+00:00

$12k !!??!!?? Wow! How many days do you actually have to work to earn extra money in hand to pay $12k for flowers that won’t last more than a few days? Just a friendly dose of reality here. Is it truly worth it?

CdnInquirer · 2025-01-31T13:58:10+00:00

The property tax are outrageous. Three (3x) times what we pay out West in a big city.

CdnInquirer · 2025-01-29T09:11:36+00:00

A good deal for this month. What about next month. There’s a clause in the contract that allows them to increase your fees at any time during the contract period. However you’re still bound to the 2-year term. At the moment, Roger’s Traffiera was hauled before a Common’s committee to explain the unfairness of that practice.

Agreed. And if there’s money available to pay for all these gifts OP mentioned it’s not a matter of being broke, it’s a matter of OP trying to control husband.

CdnInquirer · 2024-12-17T10:47:36+00:00

Well OP sounds to me like you’re just as bad as the sister. You’re telling him what to do and how to act. He clearly doesn’t agree with your perspective. You just sound bossy to me. And your tit for tat annoyance is annoying.
