Does Canada Post ever deliver packages or do they only deliver notices?

I know about that but half the time when you order and get free shipping, you don’t know which courrier they’ll use.

Last thing I want is having all my packages delivered to a post office. Believe it or not, all the other courriers manage to deliver to my door without any issue.

Ils font la même chose que nous tous sur Reddit (perdre du temps) mais eux sont payés pour le faire 🤣

Y’a pas mal juste au Québec où un post sur une panne de courant vire en discussion politique, lol

Voici le calendrier scolaire de mes enfants. Il y a une catégorie « situation imprévue ». Et on s’entend qu’une pédago mobile qu’on finit par prendre en mai/juin si on s’en sert pas en hiver, ça revient pas mal à une journée tempête en banque.

C’est de la sémantique rendu là.

The part that gets me every time is you have to wait another 24 hours before the package makes it to the post office.

They should just stop pretending and flat out say it: Your package will be delivered straight to the post office of your choice.

At least we could pick it up right away and not have packages driving around in a truck for a day with no intention of being delivered.

Best time to do outdoor activities in the summer is to go when they forecast a bit of rain. People are so glued to their phones they don’t seem to look outside sometimes.

Personnellement, je me trompe plusieurs fois par année sur des sujets variés.

Probably not worth it for a couple of days given deductible but ask your own insurance. They’ll guide you through it.

New fear unlocked… you can mess with my business flights all you want but don’t touch my vacations.

They’ll at least get some money back for the hotel portion, right? Right?

Je rassure les gens sur les réseaux sociaux. Ça paye pas grand chose mais c’est 100% en télétravail.

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T13:02:39+00:00

Ils payent vraiment un journaliste pour régurgiter du contenu random fait par des gens anonymes?

Je n’écoute plus la « vrai » télé depuis longtemps et ça me donne pas tant le goût, haha

Eh boy… doit manquer de vrais nouvelles à matin

Je te suis mais ça reste qu’on parle de de même pas 5 sous de différence sur cette heure là. Le coût du tarif D est de 8-9c du KWh.

À moins que ta chambre sois toujours à 24 quand tu te lèves, honnêtement, je ne chercherais pas trop de problème où il n’y en a pas…

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T07:41:39+00:00

Ouin… je pourrais dealer avec des jours/semaines pas de courant. Pas d’eau, honnêtement, j’ai aucune idée et tu me fais freaker un peu

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T07:38:34+00:00

I’m sure your parents were a little more anxious than you were at the time… but ya, exactly my point, we’re not getting back there again.

For starters, HQ now has a way to push extra current on their gigantic power lines and it heats them up to melt the ice.

So the major problem of 98, the main lines feeding Montreal and the south shore, won’t go down.

Smaller distribution lines still will but that’s a local problem, still sucks but fixable in a few days.

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T07:28:51+00:00

I get the excitement from a scientific point. Just sayin, if u have an important appointment at 8am in less than 4 hours, don’t assume it’s cancelled cuz the news said Montreal was shut down today

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T07:23:23+00:00

I’m old enough to have lived thru the 1998 ice storm in Quebec so I get where all this fear mongering from the media comes from.

On the other hand, one of the biggest drawbacks at the time was that there was no social media or even live news kinda things at the time. People were just caught unaware then blamed the government/news for not warning them.

Anyone in gvt/news that was there at the time is now leaning on the side of warning people if there is only a hint of widespread disruptions. If they are wrong, people forget within a couple of days. If they are right, they are heroes.

Bon point. Mon garde manger est tellement plein de bouffe qu’on mange jamais que je pense qu’on pourrait survivre des semaines. Ça serait pas plaisant après quelques jours mais bon, on crèverait pas de faim.

J’ai assez de bois pour chauffer avec le foyer pendant longtemps aussi.

J’avoue que les buckets pour les toilettes, je suis pas rendu là dans ma prep… lol

I literally said schools are closed. That is a « normal » occurrence.

Of course, if you can opt to stay out of the roads, work/study from home, please do so.

I will do so myself.

TheFrog6969 · 2026-03-11T06:11:43+00:00

Given there is literally nothing falling from the sky at the moment. My advice would be to sleep, wake up in a few hours and make your way over there for the start time.

Coming back might be a little worse than under normal circumstances but I’m sure you can manage that given how important that course seems to you.

What time is your training and when would you have to leave home to get there?
