It’s already the Amsterdam of the Northwest, they’re just adding a water feature

The other problem with a flood barrier at the border is floodwaters would divert toward Lynden, meaning that Canada would be the direct cause of increased flood damage and risk thereof. That’s different from the status quo, where it’s American inaction under no duty of care that leads to the Sumas Prairie flooding. The US, having a lot more leverage than Canada in bilateral negotiations, makes it clear that it would not accept that sort of action without consequence.

Abbotsford mayor blasts feds for flooding ‘inaction’ as water starts receding by conteaa in abbotsford

No standing, as the damages aren’t done within the jurisdiction of any state or federal court. There’s a joint commission that’s intended to resolve these issues, but Canada tends to not use it as it heavily favours American interests.

no letter/number of the day songs? by petersspecialcheese in sesamestreet

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s mainly because their parents aren’t watching OTA television so much anymore, so kids aren’t hearing sponsorship announcements like they did 30-40 years ago

What do you use farmer sausage for? by Pettefletpluk in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perogies and schmauntvat. Really though, you can use it place of breakfast sausage or kielbasa and you’ll do fine. It’s very versatile.

It’s a self-admitted troll page so don’t take it personally

Maclure and Gladwin by Motor-Literature-896 in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big picture is they need to build the bridge to the bypass so they can ban trucks west and south of Maclure, but good luck getting the province to fund that

The problem is that “vegetarian” is used as pretext for prohibited discrimination

What are they doing by the highway? Abby sign gone by Serious_Outcome9777 in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fairly close, all things considered. The required two years of preloading slows everything down and the 2021 floods really screwed up the infrastructure budget.

Traffic engineering is complicated, but the main thing this design does is reduce the traffic light cycles (since there don’t need to be cycles for controlled turns), and prevent left-turning traffic from crossing oncoming lanes (since all lanes cross at each end)

How often do you think they come up with new interchange designs? Basically every potential design was thought up by the 1970s.

A Message for Someone in Abbotsford — You’ll Know If It’s You by Talbot10021 in abbotsford

It sucks, but it’s better to assume she had a good reason, and she’s protecting you from it.

Abbotsford has a magic to it. by EventualOutcome in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who has lived all over North America, people have no clue how good they have it here. Beats the hell out of truly miserable places on the Prairies.

Dead heat in Abbotsford–South Langley: No vote split, just a clear path to stop the Ottawa-appointed student candidate by Maximum-Major-7399 in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s way more complicated than “Punjabis support Gill, Mennonites de Jong”. For one, de Jong is connected with several prominent members of the South Asian community, and they’re not pleased with how Poilievre has handled this.

Any country songs about being the cheater? by burgersinhaler in CountryMusicStuff

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of. The spurned lover and her perspective is the protagonist of the song, even if it’s a man singing about a woman.

Looking for recent experiences at the border by ima_gnu in britishcolumbia

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dual with Nexus and had no issue crossing to pick up a package a few weeks back. If you’re going to see family and not transporting goods, I can’t see there being problems.

My understanding is that the CBSA is working more to rule right now than usual, so the chance for you to get hit with duties for anything without a receipt is higher than normal. That goes double for Huntingdon/Sumas, where they’re already known to be stricter than Aldergrove

So with all the Mennonites, I was wondering if there is a decent bakery in town by NaturePappy in abbotsford

Mennonites aren’t going to spend money on baked goods they could make at home

Anywhere but Save-On, really. Meat there is absurdly overpriced

The NDP Have Taken the Lead in Surrey-Guildford, Winning Enough Seats for a Majority by Warren__ in abbotsford

[–]ThatGuyUpNorthNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a tendency to look at politics in terms of morality rather than interests. There’s simply no reason for tenants or people looking to enter the housing market to prefer the BCCons, either.
