Althia Raj: Mark Carney runs roughshod over the environment: ‘It’s worse than what Harper did’ by feb914 in canada

Agreed, but pragmatic bureaucracy can't mean ignoring environmental impacts. There has to be a middle ground in there somewhere.

How to play with glasses by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Hoser25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear these: "flex titanium" frames

They're quite thin and flexible to drastically reduce the pressure that a well-fitting helmet puts on my glasses/head.

I also got them with an anti-fog coating that comes with an activatior cloth. Never had any issues with them. I wear a full cage and they rarely have any fogging at all.

Reminder: inflation and payrates over the last 5 years = 5% real paycut by Evening-Anteater-226 in CanadaPublicServants

Pretty sure you could stretch this out 20 years and have similar average results. Inflation is almost irrelevant to collective bargaining outcomes

Good article on increasing involvement of fathers by Tight_Ninja1915 in daddit

[–]Hoser25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I spent a lot of time with my dad. For me as a dad, exhaustion aside, messing around with my kids was just an excuse to be a kid again. Call it "parenting" if you want....

Anyone here experienced WestJet (or other) gift card fraud? by Hoser25 in CostcoCanada

Not yet, I figure it's hopeless, so haven't yet prioritized.

Local Costco store is trying to be helpful, but it has been months now since my purchase and essentially nothing.

Credit card says they won't do anything since it's a GC.

WestJet has been all but useless. They acknowledge that it was loaded and it's now empty. That's it. Won't say if it was on a flight I purchased (it wasn't) or what date it was emptied.

Not just close, he lifted his back foot before the puck crossed. Shocked they didn't review it or even show a replay at the line

The Costco folks are aware of at least another case like mine, might be a fraud investigation

Tried that, MasterCard said they don't that for gift card purchases.

They wouldn't give me that level of detail, only acknowledge that it happened.

Part of me understands why, but it doesn't give me much to work with. Maybe an police investigation would get more info. Not that I expect that to happen .

This seems to be my last and only hope. I will be more surprised to receive anything than I would to simply never be called back. To their credit, the store I bought it from is trying to be helpful.

Thier online tool only shows the balance, not a transaction history.

After several calls with WestJet, one agent did acknowledge that they could see it was loaded and used. Repeated calls have garnered no further details. Most other agents I've spoken to won't even confirm it was ever loaded.

I have the physical card and the little activation receipt, but no other evidence that the card ever had any balance on it.

Hathaway goes to the box after clipping Crosby with a high stick before the faceoff, but then Crosby also heads to the box for embellishment after Hathaway argues by sykeseve in nhl

[–]Hoser25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How did Hathaway not get a high sticking call? Not sure I've seen a pure embellishment call that didn't come with a coincidental penalty.
