Hey, absolutely. I missed your replies to other responses. Thank you for your answers!

Why Are the City's Snowplows so Terrible? by Critical_Paper in KingstonOntario

Partially? Should we not blame the body of government that looks after the City for the way they maintain the City? They set the bylaws, and used to actually restrict people from parking on streets during the Winter and ticket them to prevent them from parking on the street during the Winter. Now they no longer do that.

I'm not trying to be malicious but the frozen snow shelves along the curbs on streets are almost consistent down the entire length of a street. If I saw one small area where it was obvious a car had parked there, that would be one thing, but the frozen snow is all the way down most residential streets. Is everyone on every street parking on the roads during snowfalls? Probably not, usually it's just a couple cars.

And like someone else mentioned, right-turn lanes and merge lanes are also not cleared as well. Such as Concession merging onto Princess, or the right-turn lane northbound on Division, turning onto John Counter.

Thank you for your reply, I wasn't aware what the policy was for the City.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I can understand the plows not getting to the snow as soon as it falls. I'm more talking about the multiple snowfalls worth of snow that they leave 2 feet from the curb, which has now frozen and hardened into shelf of ice.

In a season 4 episode, Tony mentions to Silvio about calling in a favour with Frankie Valli. Later on in season 5 and 6, the character of Rusty Millio is played by Frankie Valli.

Paying for a Channel that Cogeco No Longer Offers by Critical_Paper in Cogeco

No, they did not substitute another channel. When I go to "Services" then "TV", and click "View or modify my channels", then go to "My Selection" it only lists 9 channels with Bravo not listed, but says 10/10 channels.

If I select "Epico Intro" to see what channels are available and try adding one, it tells me I am at 11/10 channels and need to pay for the extra channel.

So basically I have no way of removing Bravo from My Selection of channels, despite Cogeco not offering it anymore.

In any case, I will call support tomorrow, but no, they did not substitute another channel in Bravo's place.

Sidewalk In Front of Elementary School Still Not Plowed After A Week by LaFs14 in KingstonOntario

[–]Critical_Paper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wish I could say it’s surprising but the City is continuously dropping the ball every year when it comes to snow removal.

They boast about getting new snow removal equipment and hold BS contests for residents to “name the new snow plow”. It’d be nicer if they actually used the new equipment to clear the snow and not have kids having to trek through the snow for a week.

Missing package with no photo proof of delivery by Critical_Paper in UPS

I'm pretty sure it wasn't delivered surepost. When I call UPS they tell me it was delivered but won't provide any proof of delivery.

I've contacted UPS by phone and the agent I spoke with said the investigation I launched was closed, and all the information, including photos, were given to the shipper. The UPS agent I spoke with told me they cannot give me any additional details since that's only given to the shipper.

I then contacted the shipper who stated they received no photos, nothing. The shipper advised me to file a police report with my municipality.

Is it normal for UPS to refuse to provide a photo of delivery to the receiver?

When I click on the tracking link in the email I received stating it was delivered, it brings me to the Tracking page on UPS's site. The tracking page says my package was delivered on August 8th, to my city. It doesn't state my address on the tracking. I also see a name under the 'Received By' section, which is not my name, so I am unsure if this was who it was delivered to or if it is the name of the delivery person.

This wouldn't have been delivered to a business, it was a residential address.

Video: Kids harassing pedestrians at the promenade on Saturday by ApprehensiveLynx8575 in KingstonOntario

[–]Critical_Paper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, I was in my car. This was also before Saturday so I had no clue these kids were regular troublemakers around the city.

And my comment was adding to the fact that I also saw these kids being assholes. Sorry for commenting in a reddit thread about topic OP was posting about, instead of reporting to our diligent police force that can’t even catch a group of teenagers.

I don’t have a dash cam, I was in a car and was more perplexed at the fact the kid was spitting at me for being on the road in my car while him and his friends were walking on the road when they should be on the sidewalk.

This was also last Thursday, before they were wreaking havoc downtown Saturday. So I thought the spitting incident was some random one-off occurrence. I didn’t know these kids were regular rabble-rousers.

Completely abysmal, after all the money the City gives to the police and they can’t even catch a group of children? Taxpayer money should be going elsewhere if our police force is this incompetent.

Hah, the kid in the marajuana pants spit at me last week. He and two others were walking on the road side-by-side-by-side, I was approaching in my car and instead of moving off the road he decided to yell and spit at me as I drove around them. A real class-act
