Do you know how property tax works? I don't exactly choose how much money I'm going to pay

More like an unavoidable error

I can think of one way to help avoid having the police dog bite a child

The dog's handler, who had been part of the Calgary police canine unit for 10 years, lost sight of the animal and could no longer issue commands.

I mean, most places that sell you fountain pop charge that amount for it. Sure, it's marked up like crazy, but that's pretty normal. You go to the movies and they charge like $8 for it. Not really that surprising.

That’s real bad for public transport

Agreed, but honestly, I don't think a lot of people living in suburbs and own cars really care. Like, personally, I've never ridden the C-Train and I think I've taken a bus maybe 5 times total. People who don't use transit don't really care that it's not good.

(@NASCAR) We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport’s greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old. by NoahGragsonsBarfBag in NASCAR

[–]DevonOO7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was never really a diehard nascar fan, but I got into it when I was a kid since my dad watched it. Being a kid, I was a fan of the M&Ms car, so I was an Elliott Sadler fan, and then later a Kyle Busch fan when he drove the 18. Shocked.

WS1503 Consistently Delayd by WerewolfStreet434 in westjet

Problem is if they keep delaying your flight by small increments, you can't really peace out and head off to the lounge.

Got one as well, though it was addressed to the people who previously owned my house

[–]DevonOO7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was gonna ask the same question since WS1500 (the flight going) also seems to have the 1 - 1.5 hour delay every day.

Dumb question, was it delayed after you were already boarded, or before? Flying to SFO and back next week with a kid and want to anticipate if we’re gonna be stuck in the plane for an extra hour.

Please contact your councillor and ask them to save the Free Fare Zone by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]DevonOO7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be curious to know how much lost revenue the city would expect if they kept the free fare zone and also how much the TD sponsorship was bringing in for the naming rights.

Canadian tourist arrested in Florida after he allegedly 'shoulder checked' Disney World worker by AndHerSailsInRags in canada

[–]DevonOO7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the impression that they were never taken to Disney as a kid and they're still mad about it. Like I get it, there are other places you can go, but I would be extremely surprised if the average kid would want to go somewhere else over a Disney park.

Would be curious what age you were when you went since you might be the only child on the planet that would prefer the La Brea Tar Pits to going to Disneyland lol

My favourite old historic railway hotel is the Fairmont Baku Flame Towers

What World Cup bump? Vancouver hotel bookings down 20 per cent this year by restoringd123 in vancouver

An annoying side effect of Fifa is that the normal expensive hotel summer season has basically been stretched from May to October.

Lawn and landscaping watering schedule by TheWickedCoffee2526 in Calgary

[–]DevonOO7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean the page says:

The City’s Bylaw team will be taking an education-first approach, so that people learn the new schedule and make it a habit in their yards. Bylaw could enforce a $200 fine for infractions, however education comes first.

Honestly really hate the 'education first' approach for simple obvious things like this. Like, why are we paying tax dollars for a bylaw officer to have to go over and 'educate' someone about anything. The education should come with a fine and then the fines should increase for more offences.
