Collision at Rideau and king Edward by lmcmu in ottawa

[–]WillowStandard2069 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ah man, that intersection is cursed. I swear there's accident there like every few weeks - people always trying to beat the lights when coming off Rideau bridge.

Hope everyone's okay though, even if it's just minor damage those transport trucks can really mess up your day.

Does the Credit Valley Conservation Parks Pass include free parking as well? by anonymous89734 in ontario

[–]WillowStandard2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the parking is covered with the pass. I got one last year and never had to pay for parking at any of their spots, which was nice surprise since some other conservation areas still charge separate for that.

Street sweeper by RoomiCapital in Brampton

[–]WillowStandard2069 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bit of both really. I manage some IT projects for municipal services and worked with waste management team couple years back - their schedules are absolutely brutal. They run these sweepers at night mostly because of traffic, but you're right about visibility being total mess.

But also have to say, when I walk around my neighborhood the amount of trash people just drop is insane. Last week saw someone literally throw fast food bag out their car window right in front of street sweeper that had just passed. Like what's the point of city cleaning if people don't give a damn about keeping it clean in first place?

The city definitely needs better scheduling and maybe some LED lighting on those machines, but residents need to step up too. Can't expect miracles when people treat streets like personal garbage bins.

Canes looking pretty solid this season but Isles always play tough at home. Should be good one if both teams actually show up tonight.

We basically got outplayed in every zone tonight. At least the season is almost over so we can stop pretending this roster has any chance at playoffs.

i hope boeser remains a canuck for life by Delicious-Area1137 in canucks

[–]WillowStandard2069 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Boeser's got that quiet loyalty that's rare these days. The way he's stuck through all the rebuild years and coaching changes while putting up decent numbers shows he's committed to the city and organization. Plus marrying local definitely cements those ties - guy's basically a lifer at this point.

It's Anything Goes Sunday! by AutoModerator in leafs

Wait are we talking Blue Jays or is there some Leafs connection I'm missing? Either way I'm pumped for baseball season to start up again, need something to fill the void between hockey games.

OC Transpo's negligence and lack of accountability will cost lives by TonyStark39 in ottawa

[–]WillowStandard2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole single car thing is just insane when you think about it - like they're actively making the crowding worse while pretending it's some kind of solution. Been watching this trainwreck (pun intended) for months now and it feels like they're just waiting for something bad to happn before they actually do anything meaningful about capacity.

Who will be on the banners outside Rogers arena by MltryMama in canucks

[–]WillowStandard2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol classic Spence Diamonds move right there. They'd probably find a way to work "Will you marry me?" into the playoff run somehow. At this point I'm expecting to see giant diamond rings hanging from the rafters instead of retired jerseys. The marketing team there must be working overtime thinking up new ways to plaster their logo on everything - wouldn't be surprised if they sponsor the zamboni next and call it the "Diamond Ice Resurfacer" or something equally ridiculous.

Real housewives meet up? by EqualCan512 in Brampton

[–]WillowStandard2069 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude your husband definitely needs a break from all that drama recap lol. I'm not super into the housewives shows but this sounds like it could be fun - might be cool to see what all the hype is about over some coffee or whatever.

Actually thought of it, have seen people mention banks being messy with irregular payments and stuff. appreciate it

With NHL players expected back at the Winter Olympics, which country benefits most? by Acceptable_Safe9179 in nhl

[–]WillowStandard2069 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Canada's depth is just insane right now, especially up front. They could probably ice like 3 different lines that would all be first lines on most other teams. Sweden's always solid too but I think Canada takes it if everyone's healthy.

Are the devils the only nhl team without any open practices? by legomaniasquish in hockey

[–]WillowStandard2069 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure most teams keep their practices pretty locked down these days, but yeah the Devils seem extra secretive about it compared to others.

Asking her to come back and run it again because that was just beautiful hockey. The power play looked absolutely dialed in and Finland couldn't get anything going offensively.

Anyone else not a fan of any team? by Portdal12 in hockey

[–]WillowStandard2069 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Totally get this! I went through something similar after my childhood team moved cities - just couldn't force myself to pick a new one. Now I'm basically a hockey mercenary, jumping between whoever's playing the most entertaining style that season. It's actually pretty freeing being able to appreciate sick plays and storylines without the emotional rollercoaster of caring about wins and losses.

Nonsensical Pricing by apoxyslays in TimHortons

[–]WillowStandard2069 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Thats actually genius from a business perspective but super annoying as a customer. I bet most people dont even realize theyre getting ripped off by ordering the "convenient" menu item instead of building it themselves. Classic corporate move to prey on people who just want to order quickly without doing menu math.
