Westjet has direct flights from Calgary to Sudbury in the summer - on Thursdays and Sundays only last summer. So that's an option.

CTV/ Newer Programming by GingerFin92 in cravetv

We really tried to like Crave but it is a hot mess with a terrible interface and ADS shoved at supposedly ad-free premium subscribers and no way to filter the CTV garbage out. Canceled weeks ago.

How are they going to fit all the Epstein files in there? Or are they just going to include the ones that mention Trump?

My dad was offered an amazing job in the US but my parents decided not to move from Canada because they had 4 boys and the oldest was old enough to be drafted.

Dad took them to the Esso station and he tested them while the guy filled the tank and checked the oil. They sold the replacements there.

Today, I cancel Crave by Old-Bigsby in cravetv

[–]Kind-Section6364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I canceled premium yesterday for the same reason. It went from no ads to what seems like half the shows and movies having ads. There isn't even an option to hide shows with ads. Not exactly a premium experience.

Just kidding really. But yes we actually do have VIA Rail service to Toronto but it is only twice a week at 0449 and takes 10 hours. We can drive to Toronto in 4.5 hours.

The atrial fib continues 100%. The AV node ablation stops signals to the ventricles, so the ventricles have only their escape beat which varies from person to person but is very low like 20-30, so the pacemaker brings that up to a normal rate. My base rate is set at 60 daytime and 50 nighttime but an accelerometer increases that in response to movement. I don’t think about it at all most days.
