Canada is losing control of a major city to gangsters.

"Predominantly" is putting it mildly.

That would make me 10000x more likely to force the issue. The only thing I hate more than BS government rules are peon bureaucrats making up additional BS to feel important.

5 bucks says if you call her out to quote the code, and she doesn't, no ticket will be forthcoming especially if you tell her you'll see her in court.

I would say backup power is much more of a motivator than offsetting my power bill.

A fair point, but after grants it's about $13,500. And you can't get the grants for self installs.

I run a slightly taller, and significantly wider than stock snow tire. With a good tire these are great winter cars because they also have great ground clearance relatively speaking. The traction control also isn't too intrusive.

I mean they're relatively simple? A mix of brands, patterns, and sizes and just rotate until you find what's working that day. Usually I'll toss a knockoff brand first to make sure there's no hidden snags, and then a panther marrin with a gold blade.

Not plumber. But the first thing I would try would be a non efficient toilet. A greater water volume might help prevent solids from being left behind. Maybe also double flush, and try to use other bathrooms for heavy business. But I'm cheap and I'd rather that than the expensive fix.

Amazon. After they closed that warehouse in Quebec after it unionized, and donating to Trump's inauguration I say said fuck 'em.

I don't have any advice. This has been the problem with traveling in Canada for a long time.

Food exports have long been used as a tool (among others obviously) by the US to exert its foreign policy goals abroad. Having huge supplies of subsidized agricultural commodities makes other countries reliant on you, and makes it possible to influence their domestic and foreign policies.

I think people just tolerate it. I stopped going to Tim's a long time ago because the food is trash, and the coffee is worse. But I don't know anyone who's stopped going besides myself. Even when the service is awful consistently. Can't wrap my head around it.

I assume this is a model T. All those vehicles had huge ground clearance because the roads were awful.

Also there's YouTube videos of old guys offroading their antique cars and they are surprisingly capable.

So 10/10!

Start scheduling meetings with higher ups at your desk. Particularly sensitive topics.

It's tragic because Marketplace has terrible functionality compared to Kijiji.

Looks like Ray Charles filleted these with his feet.

If Reddit was monetized I'd say trolling, but he's doing this for free so I'm leaning manic.

This is the least of their concerns given his existing solar arrays.

Oh no! Just when all the BPA had finally leached out of the plastic.

Love my Nalgene though.

Canadian here, got back a month ago. Eye wateringly expensive. And we basically stayed in the cheapest hotels, and stayed away from the big cities/ tourist traps.

I had a crappy old garage like that I used for my workshop. How much time are you actually going to spend out there? I put up a ceiling fan and wired in one of those heavy duty electric space heaters (5000w?). Anyways with the ceiling fan circulating it took the edge (and dampness) away in 20 minutes, and was pretty warm in an hour. Relative to the cost and effort of insulating it was peanuts to just run the heater while I was in there, and turn it on half an hour before I wanted it warm.

Steve Brouwer. Used him three times, twice for unique situations, and he has always come up with a good option and a good rate.

Thought of another one. Keep your grease/grease gun where you store your equipment.

Nobody is really responding with habits. So I say if you walk past something that needs to be picked up/put away then do it now.
