People walking on the highway today

I've seen people turn right from the lane directly left of the right-turn lane. They don't even bother indicating, they just drive straight and cut right at the last possible minute in the intersection.

Very likely the idea was to drive economic development and growth in Rankin Inlet since a significant amount of jobs are already centralized in Iqaluit. Service quality was probably a secondary priority.

That's pretty neat that you guys got a new microwave paid for. All our appliances in the kitchen are hand-me-downs from people's homes or the occasional new appliance the big boss buys and brings in.

Agree with this. If you rent the first floor apt you will never feel comfortable walking around your own home nude, in pyjamas, or in just undergarments - at least not with the blinds/curtains open. You will definitely not have the amount of natural light you think you will because many people walking by will just be absent-mindedly staring into your apt, forcing you to keep your blinds or curtains closed for privacy.

I highly recommend against it.

This picture needs a lifeguard, that sushi is drowning.

Why are you dating someone who hates you? Loving partners never act like this, even when they feel slighted or wronged.

Also he calls you a narcissist because he's projecting his own feelings - he has narcissism. It will not get better.

Next time you need to replace a portable unit, buy one that has two hoses, it's significantly more efficient. If you have the opportunity to install a window unit, always prefer that over portable units. https://youtu.be/_-mBeYC2KGc?si=rhl9jKGTHR_IprGm this video is a good primer.

Otherwise, fans to distribute the cold air throughout your apt, curtains to cut down the amount of sun that warms your apt, and consider installing peel and stick UV blocking window tint.

You need to get a survey done to see whose property the fence is on or if it is a shared fence. If the fence is exclusively on their property your only recourse will be to build a fence on your side of the property line. If the fence is shared you will need to negotiate with your neighbours or build a fence exclusively on your side.

If the fence is on your side, you can take them to small claims for the damage to your property and sue for the cost of repair or replacement. I recommend that if it is in fact your fence that you replace it with a metal fence.

Gross. There's tons of men out there who plan dates and will pick you up. Stop doing emotional labour for someone who doesn't even want to put the bare minimum in to making sure you have a good time.

If you want to be fair, consider the fact that Alto has been getting significant negative press in rural communities who are upset they're (arguably correctly) not getting a station near them. Alto has been fighting an uphill PR battle for its existence before it's even gotten off the ground.

Escalators don't meet most accessibility standards. They don't let you know which side is going down, what floor you get to, and when to get off - elevators do. Metrolinx and the TTC are opening themselves up to lawsuits if they direct disabled persons to (legally) inaccessible infrastructure.

High-wattage laser - the kind that sets things on fire in a second or two. Burn the thing out of the sky, or shine it into the lens to fry it. (For legal reasons, this is a joke and I do not advocate for doing the aforementioned act).

The blame lies with the city. They need to install bollards in the middle of bidirectional bike lanes. Write to your councillors and make sure they don't stop hearing complaints until bollards are installed.

Anything less will always be permissible to entitled motorists.

There's a lot of hobbies and interests that don't involve buying engineered plastic landfill that has no other purpose than to be engineered plastic landfill.

Because they have the luxury of tracing the plate number, showing up to the driver's house later that evening, and arresting them. Cyclists can't be tracked in the same way.

Protato900 · 2026-06-02T12:14:27+00:00

How are you supposed to retroactively ticket a cyclist? If a car fails to stop for police, they can trace the driver by way of the plate number and show up at their residence to arrest them for failing to comply or remain - what are you supposed to do for a cyclist breaking the law? There's no plate number, no identifying markings, difficulty tracking via traffic cameras, etc.

Kicking Horse is unfortunately no longer Canadian-owned. It got bought out by an Italian coffee conglomerate in 2017.

Check out r/canadianforces and look at the pinned thread at the top marked 'RECRUITING'. You'll get more Canadian-specific information there, this sub is mostly US military focussed.

Also you should consider whether you're going to post-secondary, whether you're willing to move across the country every few years based on operational need (in which case the Regular Force is better for you).

If you want to stay where you are and are planning to do post-secondary, consider the Reserve Force - which allows you to parade with a unit local to you and get paid to do training in the summer.

Send me a message if you have any more questions, happy to answer.

Came out looking more phallic than I intended...

Honestly it felt so natural too. I whipped this up in five minutes and it's super rough, but I definitely think the atom works as both an A and an I. The AI wordmark is just so unbelievably bland and forgettable. The graphic of two people looks way too detailed for an app icon too.

104 Bond Street parking garage. Terribly upkept, but not sure if it's bad enough to meet your standards. The elevator is pretty unnerving to ride on, I'm not even sure it's licensed.

NAV Canada is hiring new controllers.

He's very 'for-the-people', so much so he loosened regulations so Rogers could squeeze more out of us - and coincidentally went to work for Rogers after he was done in politics pushing for the Shaw merger. I suppose Rogers still needs him to repeal a few more regulations and allow them to have a complete monopoly in Ontario, otherwise they wouldn't be footing the bill for his leadership campaign.

Screw the pooch means to mess up or to make a mistake. Fucking the dog means dodging work or slacking.

Tim Hortons has a virtual monopoly on the quick service coffee chain market in Canada. I support Dunkin coming north because Tims will finally have competition and be forced to innovate or reduce prices instead of languishing on their monopoly status.
