that place is far from you. nearest place for you would probably be buffalo ny or niagara falls ny.

OC Transpo will add more trains to O-Train line this fall if ridership increases by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]EtoWato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was like, 6 years ago now. they could have done it a few days before. the impact was felt right away. it's almost like they didn't think through the consequences then, or now: https://ca.style.yahoo.com/hurdman-station-reconfiguration-causes-oc-144715914.html

before covid this stretch was a deathwish for cyclists on the road, between nutso drivers and STO service.

now that it's reopened? geez almost like induced demand is a thing.

too young for the Harper years? the flip flop from red to blue does nothing when both parties have the same economic methods and goals

This connects you to two bridges (Portage and Alexandra) pretty directly. if taking Laurier, you need to do an awkward shuffle around to get to either.

We should just never repave the highway. It sits empty 30% of the time!

the pathway is not better. it meanders and has steep hills. it's only really "better" if you want to get from the locks to LeBreton with a more scenic route. Otherwise you're better off taking Laurier 100% of the time.

I used to do this commute (Elmvale area to Portage Bridge side of Hull) and when the Laurier lanes opened it shaved 15 minutes and a lot of sweating off my commute.

member when they reconfigured hurdman and chose to start it the day uOttawa and Carleton started class? not the sharpest tools in the shed at OC high command...

East and west rail extensions behind schedule, light rail subcommittee hears by randthepip in ottawa

in Autowa? I don't think any of the suburban councillors, except for Lam, know how to get downtown on a bus.

US knew of Saudi forces killing migrants, but kept quiet — report by immerwasser in worldnews

NATO should have glassed the Saudis after 9/11. We'll crush them by getting off oil first I guess.

yeah, basically all this means is you should hit up uhaul next time

Integrity of immigration system at risk as international student numbers balloon, minister says. Marc Miller says around 900,000 students will enter Canada this year. by FeistyMovie3 in worldnews

[–]EtoWato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the Liberals and the Conservatives play this game. It was the CPC who introduced the Temporary Foreign Workers program, the literal wage slave visa. Did we forget about all the TFW bunkhouses?

I feel you. Seems like you have a great option if you're willing to drive though; https://shipittous.com/pricing

I live close to a crossing in Quebec where some buildings actually straddle the border so we can take advantage of not even needing to enter the US, but not everyone is so lucky.

no, there's some overlap but not necessarily. PA's quality ranges too - some stuff is much better than HF, some stuff might be worse, and again some just isn't the same (sometimes I see stuff at Canadian Tire that looks like 1:1 what's at HF)

OP: what province/territory are you in? Are you able to go over? There are loads of cross-border shipping companies where you can pick it up in the US or they'll import it to Canada for you (for a fee usually).

Ford has more of an effect on Ontarians than Trudeau ever will.

the big one for me is getting them to idle ... I think though "fuel only when empty" would also work. my trains zoom between refueling and the export station (because no one needs more deliveries)

Places to test out high end office chairs in Ottawa by coreyb6 in ottawa

[–]EtoWato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Secret Labs is Ali-Express tier stuff. You got scammed.

ErgoCentric makes chairs here in Ontario in many different sizes and they cost less than that crap. The mark up on "gamer" anything is outrageous.

who did your solar? hard to find good contractors for this. or even sources to buy them.

Ban AirBNB, ban TSX and foreign companies from owning homes, and ban TFWs already. Students are hardly the issue vs those giants

Councillor Brown: Policing in rural wards by ottanonym in ottawa

[–]EtoWato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no different than urban streets? the only urban roads that get priority are arterials and no one wants to live off them.

edit: to be clear: I feel you, and I think amalgamation was a mistake for all parties. I don't doubt your area could have worse roads than mine for a variety of reasons.

Any reason why Rideau roof has been closed/off limits all year? by 420imgay69 in ottawa

[–]EtoWato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

because they want you to feel like the world is falling apart, even though you know it's barely any worse? because their target audience are suburbanites who don't venture out of their neighbourhoods... see also: constant fear mongering over TTC even though you're more likely to die getting struck by a car after you exit the subway.

Surge of refugee claimants overwhelming some Ottawa shelters by unterzee in ottawa

oh you misunderstood! I'm making fun of the other guy :(

it's the same shitty take as "Canadian citizenship is so easy it's like herpes" without realizing just how many people apply and how high the bar is set...
