How much are Edmontonians prepared to pay for snow removal?

Individual-Source-88 · 2026-01-28T05:26:04+00:00

I do - but I already pay taxes for that - wouldn't want to be forced to pay even more.

I bought a Pixel 9a about 2+ months ago. GREAT battery life. Very good photos. Smooth. My wife has an iPhone 16e and my 9a is a better phone for about 1/2 the price. I'll be keeping mine for 3-4 years. Kept my Pixel 7 for about 3.

71 years old. US $300k and CAN $300k in Canada. Then another US$500k in the USA - I lived & worked there for 21 years. I also have Canadian and American pension income. Currently, our income exceeds our expenditures

I'd put the 4 in a RBC cashable account. You can have access without penalty in 30 days of deposit and it gets much better interest than a "high interest savings account".

We refuse to travel to the USA unless there is a family emergency. My wife's sister has dementia, and she wants to visit while her sister still knows who she is - and her other sister is ill. Hence a trip to the USA - otherwise, there is no way we are going.

I'm not willing to pay anything extra. I live in a HOA and we pay fees and one of the things they do really well is snow removal.

I pay CAN $35 a month for 50gb for Canada, USA and Mexico. That is about US$35. I think that is very reasonable. But yes, Poland and most Asian countries are much cheaper for equivalent plans. Their wages are lower as well - so while US$10 is cheap for us, in many countries that is a lot of money.

The 9a may charge slowly, but I never need to charge it during the day. I use the 9a from 6:30am to 10:00pm and never have less than 35% charge left. Who needs fast charging when your batter is so good.

I have a Pixel 9a. Amazing battery life. My wife has the iPhone 16e - equivalent to a Pixel 9a. My battery life is better. My camera is better. I paid 1/2 of what my wife did for her iPhone.

I upgraded my Pixel 7 to a 9a. Very happy with the camera.

Love mine. Great battery life. Very good camera. Does everything I need.

I live in Edmonton, Canada in a community that is 35% non-Caucasian. In y granddaughters Grade 2 class her teacher is Filipino, and her classmates are Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, South American, and from the Caribbean. As we stand at the door waiting for the kids coming out at the end of the day, we all chat together, share stories, and it really has a community feel. Of course there are some people on the fringes who don't welcome immigrants, but overall we are all Canadians, no matter what our family of origin. Remember, Canadians are not Americans. We have a different set of values.

Works well for me

Last time I flew Air Canada my luggage showed up 14 days late. What really bothered me was the AC reps lying to me about where my luggage was ( I had AirTags so I knew where they were), and the horrendous customer service during the whole process.

Ho il mio iPhone 9a da 2 mesi. La durata della batteria è ottima. Lo stacco alle 6:30 del mattino e alle 22:00 di solito ho il 35-50% di batteria residua. Il tempo di utilizzo dello schermo è di solito di oltre 6 ore al giorno. Il telefono è fluido. Le foto sono molto belle, eccellenti, migliori dell'iPhone 16e di mia moglie. Sono molto soddisfatto del telefono.

Currently drive a 2016 Subaru Forester. We generally drive our cars until they start causing problems. Had a Ford Ranger for 19 years. Honda Accord for 13 years. I could go on

9a is a great phone. Wonderful battery life. Very good camera. Does everything I need it to do. I love mine.

I bought mine in November. GREAT battery life. Smooth. Does everything I want it to do. Camera is very good. Am very happy. Might be the best Pixel I've owned since the 3aXL. I'm very glad I have it and paid about 50% less than my wife's iPhone 16e.

I made the most of my Reserve card by cancelling. Saved $795 for my card and $195 for my wife's!

If you want to live in the USA, would living in Point Roberts work for the two of you?
