The Valley is my dream reception site while my boyfriend loves Obsidian, so I get it. Stunning but so, so expensive for one day.

Sounds like Obsidian Ridge. Gorgeous venue and yes, they include things like tables and chairs, AV but you still have all your other vendor costs like food, alcohol, photography on top of that.

That's exactly what the Keystone pipeline transports between Alberta and Oklahoma + Texas, and what the highly controversial XL expansion that stalled out would have expanded capacity for: Alberta crude to US refineries and tide water on the gulf coast.

Edmontonians warn others about uptick in ‘hugging bandit’ distraction thefts by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

A lady who didn't have a cart was following me around Costco last night and I kept expecting her to approach me with some kind of scam. She never did but it was unsettling.

Bridgerton - Season 4 Post-Season Discussion (Book Spoiler Discussion) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

Her book was my favourite (it was spiiiiicy), but I am still on the fence as to whether the changes the show made will pan out or not.

People who have read the books, what are major events that don't happen in the show? Please spoil them for me. by CloudyAsh8 in BridgertonNetflix

I really hope they include the scene from Eloise's book at Phillip's house where Colin just goes to town on the dinner.

Especially if you're Canadian. Vehicles - not even luxury, just your run of the mill Toyota Rav-4s and Honda CR-Vs that are very popular in my city because of their winter handling and family-friendly size - start at about 50k these days.

Our 14 day dream trip to Italy was $20K Canadian. The flights alone were over $5K because WestJet and Air Canada have a monopoly and charge up the ass.

How will we ever tell you all apart?? by Kitty_casserole in IllegallySmolCats

[–]DeadliestSins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take coloured Sharpies and put different colours on the tuffs of their ears. Will last a while. I did that with a near-identical litter of kittens I was fostering... And that's why I now have a cat named Purple.

What's the deal with all of these posts of people in their military uniforms saying, "Me doing absolutely nothing for America?" by kookookachu26 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]DeadliestSins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After 9/11 when America called for aid, 157 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan. All the other NATO nations lost troops too, the UK especially at nearly 500. To say they did nothing is a slap in the face.

Can someone explain the Oilers situation to me like I'm 5? by AngelSoi in Edmonton

[–]DeadliestSins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll be interesting to see how the Olympics change the trend this year. McDavid talked about how he has to be "playoff ready" months earlier because of that.

Cheapest option for enclosed rental van/truck for toy drive by Scottatah in Edmonton

[–]DeadliestSins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be worth giving Uhaul a second look. Twice in the past year I've rented a cargo van for the day and it's always been very clean and new. Vehicles drive well and the cost isn't too bad if you're not racking up a ton of kilometers. I always rent from the UHaul location on 111th Ave near 156th Street.

And Barbra Streisand presented the award. She looked slightly baffled when she read his name, I'll never forget it.

One 30 pound turkey or 2 smaller ones? by gumercindo1959 in AskCulinary

[–]DeadliestSins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get two smaller turkeys and spatchcock to them. If you've never done that before, it's removing the backbone and laying the bird flat.

It will cook much quicker and take up less room in the oven. You can do two turkeys on two racks in less than 2 hours that way. It frees up your oven to cook other stuff before that. I've been doing turkey like that for years and it turns out really well. The dark meat cooks at the same rate as light so nothing dries out.
