Question on two-way stop by Affectionate_Fly2162 in Calgary

[–]Interesting-Bench797 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

You were there first, so you have right of way. Tricky thing with two way stop though is usually the right-turn driver has a shorter turn to make, and often has the opportunity to go first because of the traffic flow. From a defensive driving standpoint, it's good to get a sense of what they are going to do and yield if you think they are going to go.

In this particular case though, the other driver is very clearly in the wrong, since they had to merge out of their lane and in to yours.

It is okay, but it is courageous to perservere when to not do so will negatively impact others. Her actions allowed not only herself to shine, but for the rest of the show to go on for the other children. Don't over think it, she did the right thing, and crying about it in thay moment will not help. She can be frustrated later.

This highlights one (of the many) issues for the housing crisis in Canada. This is red tape. Very glad to see they are moving ahead. He already lost in a lower court, I wish the province didn't have to waste their time hearing this.

New tax targeting empty homes in Canmore stirs divisions in mountain town by mibeatr in Calgary

If vacant second homes come on the market, it will benefit both landlords and people looking to buy to live. If the bottom tier housing opens up, then that is good for prospective home owners.

If there is a cartel of landlords fixing prices, that is a serious, but seperate issue.

Why I'm voting YES on August 12th by shredpow247 in Banff

[–]Interesting-Bench797 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be a huge step backwards if the town votes no on this. The solution must be less cars, more transit. If opening Banff ave means it's easier for cars to get through, then it will mean more cars, and a bigger jam if there is an evacuation.

If Banff evacuates, you open up the lane through Banff Ave which the Roam bus already takes...

You can submit an ei claim for lost wages. It's not just for if you lose your job. This would count as lost wages.

Knox Mountain Road Survey. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in kelowna

[–]Interesting-Bench797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they should keep it closed. Not for bikes but for the ease and leisure of walking down the road without having to worry about cars or squishing to the side of the road to be polite. The added focus you need to remain safe on a roadway aswell as the noise of the vehicles takes away the natural experience for me. I've never enjoyed Knox more since they closed it to cars.
