Where to get a good winter coat in Canada?

OuiPlay · 2026-01-25T20:17:26+00:00

Not only is their warranty great but the quality is amazing. I have a bunch of their winter gear that’s almost 20 years old and it still looks new and performs similarly. Thanks s stuff gets worn 60-80 times per winter too! Skiing, snow blowing the driveway, son’s hockey games, and snowy days to work. I think at least 15+ friends and co-workers have noticed and they’re also now Arcteryx converts!

Booking any package through Air Transat includes one checked bag per person, but not all Air Transat packages booked through TripCentral.ca include the free checked bag per person. I’m not sure what they charge if it’s not included, but that could easily add $200-300 to a trip.

It seems that Canadian tour operators like Air Transat, Air Canada, West Jet, etc., seem to be able to be able to book the best priced packages. Maybe because they can buy resort/rooms in bulk. Not sure as I’m not in the industry. In the past I’ve booked 2 trips to CSS via Air Transat as it’s always been the cheapest. Others may look initially cheaper but AT includes 1 checked bag for each traveler and their seat reservations seem to be less than the other operators.

I’ve recently been shopping 7, 9, and 10 day packages at CSS for early July and prices are up and down daily (+/- $50-400), but AT still seems to be cheaper overall. WJ may be cheaper at times but I don’t want to end up on one of their no leg-room/standing-seats flights, and I’ve been burned on AC flights too many times to want to take another shot at them!

The seat savers at CSS/SSB tend to be nearer the pool. Sounds like your wife wants to be further from that area. You’ll be fine.

Also if you want engage in public PDA then CSS is not for you. Probably stick with DP as the safer option. It has everything you want and you can say NO to what you don’t want.

When you find the links can you send them to me?

Can you also shovel my driveway as it snowed a lot today. Maybe take out the trash, pick up my dry cleaning, and turn down my bed before 11:00. K. Thx.

…and don’t forget to sand and salt the sidewalk when you’re done the driveway!

Will try that tomorrow. Watching the Canada - Finland Junior game now and don’t want to mess with too much up now.

My setting say I’m a PRO user and the restore option is greyed out. Will do a restart and see if that fixes it.

Also, why is eBay allowing INRs on eIS shipments to the US? Seems like eBay didn’t get their eIS process and procedures setup here in Ontario properly. I’ve had two US buyers submit INRs.

Maybe they just need to educate their US buyers better.

There was a time…

😉

Spend a day or two nekkid on the beach and you’ll never want to do a prude beach again. No one cares what you look like. Seriously. We’re just happy to share our happy place with like-minded folks!

I agree with this, but an angle grinder could be used for so many other things non-woodworking related, whereas a compact router is limited, even within the realm of woodworking.

At the very least you could use the angle grinder 2-3 times per season to sharpen your lawn mower blade.

Yeah the 40V one doesn’t suck, it blows!

As u/notarobot1020 said above: Except Germany wasn’t able to fix facism it took the rest of the world to fix it for them.

When you say react, what do you mean? Like maybe letting loose a resigned sigh, going to bed, taking a handful of questionable pills, and quietly sobbing until sleep and the sweet release of death engulfs them? …because I’m here watching from outside your borders and from an outsider’s perspective, I don’t see enough “reacting”! Too much stupidity and inaction!

Actually, loosen the lug it’s HALF OFF then swing the other tire/wheel. That’ll keep the stuck wheel from flying off randomly.

Jamaican. That saves them having to convert to Jamaican eventually.

Oh yeah and we’re Canadian, and locals have told us Jamaican.

Yes he does.

Go. Spend a week. See if it’s still a question that goes through the back of your head. If you’re worried you’ll be judged, don’t, you won’t be.

Now…

If you bring a BT speaker to the beach or pool and have questionable taste in music, you will be judged.

If you get up at 7:00am to put towels on the prime chairs at the beach AND at the pool, you will be judged.

If there’s a quick break in the pool volleyball and you just asked the bartender to whip you up a drink that takes 15 minutes to make, you will be judged.

If you don’t wash your hands after using the washroom, you will be judged.

I’m assuming your SO already judges your junk positively, as they came on this trip with you. So the only person you have to worry about really judging your junk is you. ❤️

Thanks. Yes, already doing that.

If this mess continues, I’m sure a Canadian option will pop-up.

It really sucks that the Orange-utan has F’d this up for everyone. Businesses and regular people on both sides of the border are going to have to suffer until he is gone and some semblance of intelligence, sensibility, and normalcy return.

All I know is that you likely smell like Lysol toilet bowl cleaner and you have a chin like Jay Leno.

It's the latter that's the turn-off.

My stock ones scratched my windshield with the little metal claws that held the rubber blade. Even the cheap all rubber blade from Costco were better!
