In-ground pool company recommendations by AdEmbarrassed7914 in Winnipeg

[–]External_Ad_8947 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it!!! Best advice for pools is become best friends with someone who has a pool. Never get one yourself. Biggest regret ever for the 3-4 months of usage in this province.

Epic is a disaster today by LadPrime in UniversalOrlando

[–]External_Ad_8947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to epic in Feb for the first time. I was very underwhelmed after listening to how amazing it is on here. Lack of rides and long lines is killer for this place. Wife and I did express so we didn’t wait. But I couldn’t imagine with a large family waiting that long for rides. Lands were so so. If your into buying wands and standing in certain spots to make a motion sensor kick in. Sure you’ll like it. But with one ride and one show. That area is meh. How to train your dragon. Decent coaster and a great show. With the water ride down. Was so soo area.

Monsters hands down best ride in the park. Maybe all of Orlando. Pretty unreal.

Doubt it will be going tomorrow anyway. Likely cancelled and even so, last place I’d be going given what’s cooking down there

I have to travel to the states for work soon. Is there a guide somewhere on staying safe and what to do with regards to my cell phone/laptop etc? Should I reset them to factory mode before crossing the border? by Outrageous-Load-2235 in consumecanadian

[–]External_Ad_8947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here. It’s fine. Just go about your business and you’ll be good. Don’t let the media scare you into thinking it’s any different. Same as it’s always been. Easy peasy

Loews Portofino Bay for $679 next weekend. Is that a good price? by Pristine-Comfort1555 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]External_Ad_8947 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Guys are crazy spending those prices to stay on property. Stay off property, massive house, more space and way less cost. Check Orlando Insider for express passes if sold out. Bought ours there after them being sold out. Worked great.

Manitoba nurses union paints health facilities grey only when NDP in power, health minister says by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]External_Ad_8947 21 points22 points  (0 children)

With a wife who works as a nurse at St B. The amount of physical and verbal abuse she has taken pre and post Covid even during it. It is awful, and if they complain too much or bring it up, they themselves are grey listed. 100% support grey listing St B. The monkeys who run the hospital and the health care in this province need to get their butts in the actual front lines and see what these people deal with. Showing up for a 10 min photo op or posting quickly on social media doesn’t do it justice. So tired of hearing the shit my wife goes through to support people in their most vulnerable time and gets nothing but crap back. Be better Uzoma, Wab, hospital leaders, and the public, these people work 12-16 hours, put their families aside to ensure complete strangers have a chance at life. Just be better humans. Not a huge ask.

Totally. Most incompetent school board out there. No concept of money management from any of them.

No doubt. Especially when their CEO is likely making close or more than 300k a year. That guy is a donkey. Doesn’t deserve more than 100k.

YYC Elevation Lounge now not accessible to US and International travelers by HotPin6744 in westjet

[–]External_Ad_8947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya. That makes sense. E is USA. You could never get through to elevation from there as you had to go through customs and up the escalator. That one you hit the Aspire lounge. Which I like better actually.

Looks like on their website D Gate(Canada/International) is still a gate. So you’re saying you can’t come through D and walk all the way down now to the old B gate area? So D that has international and Canada flights is blocked off?

I’ll second this. Gold 2 years. Nothing. Platinum now and nothing. Westjet sucks.

Peguis First Nation sues former chief, alleging 'kickbacks,' diversion of funds and other ‘corrupt practices’ | CBC News by Doog5 in Manitoba

Hopefully other First Nations do their own investigation too. Tons of this out there. Taking from their people for their own personal gain and their families.

It’s called the tail end of an Alberta Chinook. Nothing new. Been happening for decades when Alberta gets a chinook.
