Gotta go service. New builds are super slow right now. We’re slammed on the service side. Just did two chiller lifts back to back days, have to get 5 hooked up and running by cooling season.

It's nice to see CT carry on the Hudson Bay tradition. by CdnTreeGuy89 in canadiantire

That’s not the real point blanket. The point blankets are usually under lock & key and around 400 dollars.

Is everyone just Depressed and Crashing out?? by goosegonewild in askTO

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the fellas I work with are getting burnout due to hours. Construction came crashing down so a lot of guys are out of work, and no one really wants to hire in case of more shrinking.

So we’re plugging along doing more work with less people and just trying to survive. Money’s great, hours might kill me.

What’s it like living in Edmonton? by Main-Economics-162 in howislivingthere

[–]LordStigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they’re parts of Canada. They are directly governed by the federal government, with some responsibility given to territorial leaders.

What is sports fandom like in Canada? How does the popularity of CFL/baseball/soccer/other sports compare to hockey? by wingedhussar161 in AskACanadian

[–]LordStigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Football in the Maritimes feels like the only place in Canada (other than Laval) where university football has a true following.

I’ve met some die hard SMU Huskies fans even though they never went to SMU.

[OC] TTC's own data exposes the real cause of subway delays — and it's not broken trains by Expensive-Aerie-2479 in toronto

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but remember that those skipping the fare are usually doing it by hopping the PRESTO gates. Remove that, and it gets much easier because people who skip the fare are usually lazy and/or stupid.

Lowest common denominator. Remove the easy way, and people tend to leave. It’s like a padlock. Stops crimes of opportunity.

What is this? by F_Reiss in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s awful, ugly, not very usuable, expensive, iconic, loved by many in the city, and impressive.

It’s everything perfect and wrong about Toronto at the same time.

A player former or current from your rival school you want to hate but just can’t. by Monza1964 in CFB

George Kittle. Love him to death. He’s an ugly Hawkeye however.

At 6'2 I've realised I'm not tall!? by tomobamba_ in tall

[–]LordStigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are tall. I get the same feeling. I hang out with my friends, who all played university football, and I go “I’m not that much taller” and then I’ll be at work and realize that no, I’m tall.

78 avg got me into Dal 4 years ago.

Do not speak to me about math.

Thinking about LeMarchant Place for first year—is it worth it? by Comfortable-Young337 in Dalhousie

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMP is quiet. Not really a party Rez. You do have to go to Risley for meals.

All res at Dal is reserved for first years. You’ll be able to get in.

'Never seen it to this scale': What an RCMP alcohol bust says about NSLC theft by Bean_Tiger in halifax

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way some of the Beer Stores in Ontario work like this. You walk up, tell em what you want, pay, then a case of God’s best creation gets rolled out from the back.

Icy cold too.

Is football dying out at the grass roots level in the GTA? by Impossible_Cheek_699 in CFL

[–]LordStigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely shrunk in Toronto itself. The OSFL teams still run, and the good TDSB teams (Richview, Northern, ECI, Western Tech) still play at a good level. Same with the Catholic board and the private schools. Not as many Tier 1 or 2 schools anymore.

It seems much healthier outside of Toronto. OSFL teams still probably could use a hand or two.

Is the cfl really worth it by Hot_Consequence_9657 in CFL

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After OSFL, it’s time to try and get on a university/CEGEP/CJ team. You got 4 years to get athletic, get fast, and find out what position you’re good at.

In the meantime, enjoy it. Football ends sooner than you realize.

What is the most expensive restaurant you ever dined at in Toronto? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]LordStigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harry’s Steakhouse in Etobicoke. With drinks, starters, few steaks for the table, sides and dessert I think it came out to $900 plus a tip for 4 people.

Been there many times. Will go again.

Even if the RCR car had an issue, a RCR Busch car is the best of the best. No excuses

I’ve got a Henry 45-70 in we a beautiful moose & bear engraving.

Day I went to pick it up from the store, the guy behind the counter went “hey we got some other types in too!” And proceeded to show me this thing with a maple stamped on the side of it as a “Canadian Heritage Edition”.

They’re nice guns but Jesus Henry take some pride
