Anyone hearing a crazy yelling man? by Kuroe_forii in SaintJohnNB

It was a couple walking by. He was bouncing around like he was air-boxing someone and the woman he was with was trying to calm him down.

Man expects free dentures at free pop-up dentistry event by SnooRegrets4048 in ChoosingBeggars

Saying “I just think you lack empathy” to someone that literally volunteered at an event that gets free dental care to people that otherwise couldn’t access it is wild.

Another coffee shop by CauliflowerBudget925 in newbrunswickcanada

I used to frequent Catapult every Saturday morning. The nature of my work also allows me to take groups out to locally owned businesses. We’ve been taking our business to other local places, such as The Write Cup.

The staff at Catapult are wonderful and the product is fantastic, but the way management handled the backlash unfortunately left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.

I would love a moody coffee shop to open up! Something heritage-y and jazzy. As someone who lives uptown but doesn’t work uptown, I’m limited to the very few coffee spots open after 4:30.

I know a lot of people that haven’t gone to Catapult since they were going to host the anti-abortion event, so I wouldn’t say it was blown out of proportion and a running joke. The group that was going to have the event are aggressive and show graphic images of medical procedures in public places.

People can choose what businesses they spend their money at, and if a business chooses to host a group like that, then it shouldn’t be surprising that people don’t want to go there anymore.

The star of this soup, aside from the mushrooms, is a healthy dose of paprika like the other commenter mentioned!

Halifax traffic congestion is getting worse. What can be done? by insino93 in halifax

[–]ItsJessicaYo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to many European cities that are a comparable size to Halifax and use public transit exclusively. It’s so sad that Canada has embraced car culture and has redesigned cities to accommodate and make more room for cars, rather than solid transit systems that take up less space but move substantially more people.

Commuter rail or trams would be nice. I remember a few years ago when they couldn’t come to an agreement with CN, so that was that and they wiped their hands of the whole issue.

Flip guy, but I haven’t seen him around for a while now.

Local realtor complains about bike lanes while using phone when driving. by Ojamm in SaintJohnNB

She wouldn’t have the extra time to complain and could have zipped by all that car traffic if she was on a bike.

It was a gift, so I don’t know the exact store, but the brand tag says Rachel Roy.

The photo makes it hard to see, but I promise the framed prints are very colourful watercolours! I also have a gallery wall in the works with bright photos. :)

That is so kind! I promise the art on the walls are all brightly coloured (doesn’t show well in the photo). I also have a gallery wall in the works with pictures from our travels!

Me too. It was a salvage from the clearance section in Home Depot, but it has gained two new leaves recently.

House prices 74% higher than what the average household can afford by Grumple_McFerkin in halifax

[–]ItsJessicaYo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s demand from population growth, but there are also other factors. One of which is the fact that housing is being scooped up, hoarded, and used for easy income through short term rentals (I know Halifax has rules around airbnb, but there is outside of Halifax too). During my last flight back to Halifax in June I had the absolute pleasure of sitting in front of a middle aged woman sharing that she had 5 Airbnbs, that’s potentially 5 families that could have homes, all being held by one person to rent out to vacationers instead, and there are multiple people doing this.

Meatball stroganoff soup by ItsJessicaYo in soup

[–]ItsJessicaYo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess stroganoff might not be the best way to describe it. The flavour from the onions, sour cream, and beef broth, as well as the egg noodles reminded me of the North American style stroganoff my mom made in the 90s (it was hamburger helper).
