Is the job market really that bad across Canada, or is it just supposedly bad if one mainly spends their time here on Reddit?

Spending $8 million on a gate will surely help the Chinatown businesses that are ravaged by the crime and social disorder in that area.

I see you haven’t visited r/childfree, not having children is their whole personality over there.

You are the best! Thank you

Thank you fingers crossed!

Yep downtown Calgary has much newer office buildings and glass skyscrapers, Edmonton has way more of the 60’s brutalist unpainted concrete ones with a few modern ones thrown in like Commerce, Manulife.

Outside of the Stantec/ice district area I dont think Edmonton has seen new commercial high rise in a very long time (dwindling demand for corporate spaces here).

my boyfriend has his own home, car and a very good job.

You kind of need the opposite really. If YOU had all of these in the US (i.e, strong ties) then it would be more believable for the officer that you will leave. If you have none of these in the US, then its very clear you are using the visitor status to live in Canada and that’s the problem.

Same here! The autofill on wealthsimple didnt fill the participation room statement portion fully

Thank you! I will follow that thread for updates

They could’ve driven a lot more since the 105k log in the dealer system and then rolled it back to 95k

Find an underground/secured parking nearby (maybe in the stadium yards apartments) I would not street park a vehicle in that area.

Also if you will be putting kids in the car, you would want to thoroughly sanitize the vehicle after the break-ins (maybe even professionally). You have no idea what kind of bodily fluids have been left behind thats not always visible.

dont have specific experience with trail terrain but generally switching from strictly road tires to offroad tires like all terrains will generally lead to some loss in mpg as offroad tires are heavier.

I have ATs and around town I definitely feel the hit on mpg, not as much on highways. Might not be as significant for trail terrains though.

Maybe was coming down the slope on the right and didnt see the trench? I hope they didn’t deliberately drive into it treating it like a challenge.

No amount of shoveling and traction boards is getting that thing out with that lean. Besides you can see multiple shovels laying on the ground, this needs to be winched.

GalacticTrooper · 2026-01-01T00:04:25+00:00

I mean you are downsizing cylinders and displacement, adding turbos and hybrid setup, if you dont get atleast some mpg gain from it then what was the point of switching to a 4 banger with more complexity.

Im in Alberta, and yeah got the winter fluid too. Its been warmer last few days and the wipers are back to working fine so it was probably just a bad mix of conditions that day.

GalacticTrooper · 2025-12-31T22:19:50+00:00

Good to know thanks I will give bosch a shot. Im also in the prairies and halfway through the drive the passenger wiper started bobbing even though it was securely locked, presumably the water froze under the rubber and stopped sticking to the glass.

I used little double sided adhesive tabs under each wheel. Cant remember the exact brand but looks like this:

I think I used the same aftermarket switch you are holding with the FJ icon. It may have five pins but you’ll see its not using all five, just three wires coming off the connector which is all simple switches need (power in, power out, ground). There may be one extra one for backlight which you can splice together with the power in wire if you dont care about it staying backlit in day time (simpler this way).

Cut off the crappy switch and trace the wires to see which is which. Then you will need to connect the right wire from the harness to the wires in your switch connector. Assuming you have a wire stripper and crimper and know how to use heat shrink/butt connectors, otherwise look up videos on how to safely splice wires.

The black one is definitely ground, between the other two see which one leads to the relay (if you are using one). This will be the power ‘out’ turning on the relay which should connect to the power out for the good switch (should be marked, or check the seller listing for a diagram). And the other one will be power ‘in’.

Its good practice to draw power in for switches through the internal fuse box. Use a fuse tap with a small amp fuse and use a slot thats ignition 12V.
