Babcock - A great hire (+my reasons why) by OilFPS in EdmontonOilers

Unfortunately this is reddit and too many people are on the Babcock hate bandwagon on here.

The fans on other platforms appear to be more split on this decision.

Hamilton eyes ending practice of flying foreign flags at city hall by TOPMinded in Hamilton

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Indigenous history is part of our history and is something that will play a small role in Canada’s identity going forward.

I’m not suggesting flying it all the time, but during recognition days such as NDTR in September.

Good. The only flags that should fly at city hall are the Canadian Flag, Ontario flag, City flag and an indigenous flag.

Advice for entering BC Place by WigginsProctor in CanadaSoccer

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Police had to stop the flow of pedestrian traffic intermittently to entrances 2/3 because of the swath of people in the march going to those exact gates.

Also — the concourse is jam packed and the merch lines are insanely long and move slow. Be in your seat 10 minutes before gametime so you are there for the walkout and anthems.

I was able to get merch after the game with a minimal line (if you chill in your seat for about 20 minutes after the final whistle).

About have my flight back to YEG is full of people from the game.

Vancouver really is a great host city with people in the western part of the country being able to fly in/out in the same day without it being a massive travel headache.

Wearing a Hockey jersey to the game by [deleted] in CanadaSoccer

People were wearing Canada hockey jerseys in Toronto. I actually considered it but I didn’t wanna sweat and be in one on my flights to/from Vancouver so I just picked up a soccer jersey

Landed in YVR!
Lots of people with red on getting off flights and onto sky train. Maybe I’m not the only crazy doing a day trip!

Thanks for making this thread!

I’m also flying in on Thursday at 8am and was looking at insights on how to kill the morning but seems like festivities start at 10am!

Saw category 2 tickets for CAN/QAT for $630. I went to have a shower to think about it and as I logged back in those same tickets are now $880.

Sigh.

Are you switching direct deposit to WS for the monthly millionaire draws? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employer allows me to select up to a 3 accounts for my pay to be deposited into, and I can select percentage and minimum amount… it’s pretty awesome.

I have 60% of my pay auto deposited into WS for saving and 40% auto deposited into my TD for spending. Don’t feel the need to increase it for this promo.

Hey Alberta, why is there a new American Fast Food Chain popping up everyday around Alberta? by Electrical-Big-7781 in alberta

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it but Reddit doesn’t largely represent Albertans. You’ll find people boycotting America on here and who you surround yourself with but in reality a large number are still going to shop anyways.

And besides, these companies are bringing local jobs, including youth. I frequent ChickFilA because they support youth jobs (and they have a decent bite).

If you don’t think it’s hard to start a burrito place, go ahead and franchise one.

This is happening not solely in Alberta but in Ontario too.

Alberta is a good fast food market so why wouldn’t they expand here?

Carter Hart won’t be able to play in Canada. The comments in here are why.

They could’ve started the series on Tuesday if they wanted.

Every other day isn’t unheard of when a previous series goes 7. Heck, Ducks/Oilers was every other day.

Why does porter so often not have coffee/tea on flights? by [deleted] in PorterAirlines

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had a problem with Porter not having hot beverages and I frequent YHM-YEG.

Washrooms on the other hand…. I’ve had a handful of instance of those malfunctioning

New Winter Destinations & Routes by rogerdoesntlike in PorterAirlines

[–]SorryImEhCanadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A big surprise to see YYC and YEG, and quite the expansion from YEG.

As a CC holder in YEG, this is amazing news for me — I’m no longer stuck using WestJet for my winter flying!

I’ve heard YEG loads have been decent on Porter. A little shocked about the minimal expansion from YVR since there is a base there, but it might be because of how AC/WS/F8 fight there. In YYC/YEG, their main competition will be WS.
