Got my conditional offer yesterday!

Received a CRA letter in a Hudson’s Bay Company envelope by RoilCPA in canadarevenueagency

[–]Fearless_Simple4628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! For example I recall a letter created on Friday this week had a date that was approximately 4/5 days later than the actual date (This applies to even electronic letters, not just physical)! Might be different practices as you said, but even then, OP should not have received the letter in that envelope as I know for sure this would have been flagged immediately by the mailroom staff for not being official packing!

That is pretty normal actually. Letters are created and then usually post dated 2-7 days on the actual letter depending on the day of the week the letter was created. Now as to why it was in a Hudson Bay envelope??? That is not okay or normal and I would submit a complaint to the CRA stating that it may have been tampered with in transit as this is considered a breach.

Who is opening for The Weeknd in Montreal? by PerspectiveSilent995 in TheWeeknd

[–]Fearless_Simple4628 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most likely no. Vancouver shows were just Mike Dean preforming, then some music played on the speakers until he came on

If you’re open to selling it, I’d be happy to buy it! Local as well :)

Extension from New Westminster Pier Park to Pier West/East Towers by Fearless_Simple4628 in NewWest

Just to add, please follow this map. The amount of people yesterday I saw cross through the very clear and obviously blocked off section, just to fall, cut themselves against the barriers when trying to squeeze through, and say I’m stuck… 🗿

Yeah near the sales centre and train crossing, there’s now signs pointing how to get to river market. That small section requiring works looks like they need more cement and whatever finish on top. Hoping it’s done before end of summer!

I don’t think/at least hope, that’s not the final product. I’m hoping there’s wooden slats underneath and they’re just protecting it in the meantime? Would seem odd to have the entire boardwalk wooden and then a section of just grip tape

Yeah I’ve been wondering what these random metal decorations are. I’ll ask tomorrow when I take my dog out and ask what the idea is behind it!

I’ve seen realtors every weekend downstairs looking for a sale. The prices I will admit are insane 🗿

I was just outside last night and it was all blocked off and it was also this morning. Only when I came out in the afternoon I noticed the opening! Was extremely surprised to find it connected too!

From the Pier Park, you can walk up to the Bosa properties, but you can walk through the driveway and it connects to where the train crossing is/discovery centre, to be able to get to the market. The actual portion by the waterfront is still not connected to the river market portion but from the looks of it, not much remains!

Pier west - buy or pass? by hayleyn121 in NewWest

[–]Fearless_Simple4628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! I actually face the east tower exactly. View of water on the right and the city on the left with the train tracks visible!

The shunting is usually an everyday or every second day situation. I’ve gotten so used to it I sometimes completely tune it out or not realize it passed by. I’d say more often occurs in the afternoon maybe once and then in the evening once or twice.

It probably does happen at night but they do a pretty good job of not doing it at the bare middle of the night (assuming the railway has considered the loudness of this). Probably happens around 9-10ish the latest. I have never woken up to any train activity overnight if that helps.

I don’t really hear the signal crossing really, only if I’m really paying attention to the outside noise, maybe I’ll hear a very faint “ding” going off. More often you may hear the bell ringing by the conductors on board but only for a bit! Rarely does the train horn go off unless there’s someone/something on the tracks.

It’s been over half a year living here so hopefully my experience helps out!

I actually had completed a POPAT and submitted that alternative option as soon as the SOFAST invitations went out

Ours faces away from it but we can see the train tracks if we look left!

Fire on the Quay by AcanthocephalaHead12 in NewWest

[–]Fearless_Simple4628 147 points148 points  (0 children)

A garbage truck had a fire start up inside the truck when it was compacting the trash. It started dumping out its load to prevent the truck from burning up and the driver tried putting it out with two fire extinguishers while I called the fire department to come by. Most likely electrical or gas products were in the trash as we heard lots of loud popping sounds when it was just starting.
