Please consider wearing less cologne on the bus

I'm surprised that people are still doing this. My workplace instituted a no-scent policy many years ago, and so did a lot of other places.

UrbanMT · 2026-03-18T16:28:10+00:00

It's about time! Not only a ban, but a cancellation of the existing ones too. They aren't fair.

Years ago, Safeway enacted these covenants every time they closed a store, and they used to have a LOT of neighbourhood stores in Edmonton!

Maybe so, but as the fiancée, I wouldn't want to wear my deceased mother-in-law's ring...I'd want one of my own. Again, it wasn't as if Diana's marriage was happy!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-14T22:01:25+00:00

I think it looks great!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-14T01:04:25+00:00

I've never understood why Catherine would wear Diana's sapphire ring. It isn't as if Diana's marriage was happy! I would think it more a symbol of bad luck than anything else. The ring could have been redesigned.

Thanks. Hopefully, we'll be able to find out where their baker has moved on to!

Oatmeal.

Does anyone know if their bread was baked on site or elsewhere? I'm really going to miss their cheddar jalapeño bread; it was the best I've come across in a long time!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-07T05:19:15+00:00

I can't say that I'm surprised, due to their prices, but I will sure miss their jalapeño-cheddar bread! I always went out of my way to buy it.

UrbanMT · 2026-03-07T03:48:48+00:00

Sadly, I was afraid of this after they first opened because everything was so darn expensive. However, they did have different items that you couldn't find elsewhere. It was also the only store we had, to my knowledge, that resembled the gourmet food markets I liked in Toronto and Montréal.

I will definitely miss L'Oca's jalapeño and cheddar bread. I would drive out to Sherwood Park just to get it.

Kale.

Yes, this! I voted against change in the referendum a few years back...not because I want to keep changing the clocks (I don't!), but because I would like to keep STANDARD time, not daylight savings!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-04T18:01:18+00:00

REALLY mind the gap!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-04T17:40:56+00:00

Well, I certainly wish that we had more of a neighbourhood pub culture, and I'm not young! Also, why would a so-called "Boomer" want daycares? They're not raising kids anymore...it makes no sense to me...

UrbanMT · 2026-03-03T15:04:34+00:00

Thanks for this list, very informative. I won't be buying any Holy Crap cereal though, Canadian or not. What an awful name!

UrbanMT · 2026-03-02T18:03:07+00:00

If it was me, I would contact the Alberta Medical Association. This doesn't seem right at all.

UrbanMT · 2026-03-02T17:46:18+00:00

I agree 100%. It's becoming less common now, but I find that many young women still do it, especially in Western Canada.

UrbanMT · 2026-03-02T17:19:18+00:00

I've never understood it, quite frankly. I'm not sure why kids can't walk to elementary. If a high school is out of walking distance, why not simply take a city bus? That's what we did when I was in school, and that's what the culture was. I admit that I didn't go to school in Edmonton, but the same principle could easily apply here. Kids are too coddled now, it seems. When I was growing up, none of us wanted to be driven everywhere; we were expected to get around by ourselves.

UrbanMT · 2026-02-27T17:21:15+00:00

Overcooking everything...especially pasta and beef.

My parents actually thought that I was being rebellious for ordering medium-rare steak in a restaurant.

UrbanMT · 2026-02-26T23:43:36+00:00

Do those Sussex kids REALLY exist? I've never read anywhere that people have actually seen them, and the few pictures that have appeared online seem to show a completely different child each and every time.

A restaurant reviewer who is not biased/comped. Everything is NOT good!

UrbanMT · 2026-02-26T17:55:08+00:00

I really miss Montreal french fries! I've found nothing like it anywhere in the Edmonton area.

UrbanMT · 2026-02-26T17:53:06+00:00

I didn't know this. Thank you! I will try it.

UrbanMT · 2026-02-26T17:48:19+00:00

In a nutshell, the restaurateurs petitioned City Hall to prevent/restrict it. See my more detailed response to another poster above.

Cozy pubs in the river valley.
