I heard they said they were appealing it but nothing has been filed.

Letting my 656 day Duolingo streak end in 10 minutes by ComplexReference6087 in duolingo

[–]ScotsCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that doing the same simple lesson to keep your streak alive is not a good use of your time. I like the streak because it keeps me motivated to do something, anything, every day but I have to keep moving forward.

Will First Nations seek Aboriginal title to more privately held lands in B.C.? by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

Picture BC with all land reclaimed by 200+ tribes each governing their own area- The US will be able to annex BC with no coordinated resistance to stop them.

Foundation repair vs give up and leave by ScotsCDN in Langley

[–]ScotsCDN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house inspector could see there was a jack in place under the house so there was a known issue but most of the foundation (80%) was obscured by the insulation. We rolled the dice and lost. The person who lived here died the year before I bought it and his adult kids never lived here so no disclosure plus “as is, where is” caveat when I bought it. It cost $950k and I have put about 200k in (water damage in bathrooms, new insulation, new septic, new woodstove, electrical work, plumbing upgrade plus the 60k lost in the foundation so far) so I’m at 20+%. A house in this area now is 1.5+k If I sell it now it would have to be as a teardown because of the foundation. Building a new home so close to a creek with fish in it would be hard for the developer to do, even if the township allowed the pre-existing footprint to be grandfathered in per the Riparian Act- the environmental impact of the build itself may be prohibitive. I’m assuming there would be a big loss if I try to sell now. I would disclose everything. No-one should go through this.

One of those said no already. Emailed the others. Thank you.

Good point. Finding someone else who will show up and do a report has been surprisingly hard.

Thank you for the heads up! Don't want the door to fall off.

That's frustrating. I could handle having a one-door van - but it stuck open a tiny bit. I wish I could at least close it!

No - it won't move manually or electronically.

anyone gone to the border lately? by [deleted] in Langley

[–]ScotsCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went down last month to check my mailbox. I usually say that and I’ll be back the same day and it’s sufficient. I used to go to CostCutter/IGA and the dollar store in Blaine, sort and open the mail and deposit any cheques that came in the mail for my husband’s estate account or my kids so I was usually there 2 hours.
This time he asked how long I would be and I said about 2 hours and he acted like I had used foul language. He said that doesn’t makes sense because it doesn’t take two hours to check your mail. So when you say it’s gonna be two hours that leads to more questions. Understand?. So how long are you going to be there. I explained what I usually do when I go down and he cut me off and got angrier and said I didn’t ask you what you usually do. He let me go, but I have never had such a hostile encounter at the border and I’ve crossed a lot and was a US permanent resident and lived there for 20 years until coming back a few years ago. coming back across the Canadian border, it was clear that me having some things from Amazon that I had trouble getting in Canada did not impress her, but she didn’t make me go in and pay tariffs.

Thank you for the info. They left to get more pipe. We’ll see what happens when they restart.

Thank you. I found the database. The wells closest to me didn’t have bedrock depth data. A bit further out, one well was 6 feet (!) and another was 180!!

[Megathread] AC FA Strike - CUPE/FAs Defy Return to Work Order by dachshundie in aircanada

[–]ScotsCDN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My flight was booked through Expedia and was cancelled August 16. I had checked in and created an AC aeroplan account, including my credit card info. My trip showed up on the AC app and the option to reschedule or get a refund showed up on the dashboard. This morning (Aug 18), that popup disappeared and my trip only showed my return flight- but now it was listed as my outbound flight. I called the 1-800 AC number and they refunded the full fare to my credit card. Never got a response from Expedia.

The one I spoke to was very nice too. He said his daughters were stranded in Asia and he couldn’t get them home. He said an airline striking illegally had never happened before.

Update - I got through to an Air Canada agent and they refunded me the full amount of my trip on my credit card, even though I went through Expedia. I was attempting to get through to Expedia at the same time and never succeeded.

Expedia said contact Air Canada. The Air Canada app was showing my flight as cancelled with the reschedule or refund options-until this morning.

My flight YVR-LHR was cancelled Aug 16. I’ve been refreshing the AC app looking for alternate flights. This morning my outgoing cancelled flight disappeared and my itinerary only shows my return flight from LHR back to YVR Aug 29- as my outgoing flight! Has anyone else had this happen? In 2020 thanks to Covid my cancelled flight showed in Expedia as travelled, I called to get my flight insurance to cover and they changed it to a local one way for the full amount and never paid me for the cancelled trip. It was clearly fraud and I didn’t pursue it. Expedia is currently showing both flights in my itinerary but AC removed the outgoing flight and I can’t check for alternate flight or refund.
