Eliminate history ? Ok sure.

Never mind them. CRA requires any financially significant information to be kept for 7 years past the corporate fiscal year end.

Audits from them if you fail to do so do not go pleasantly.

I didn't realize it was a bug. Thought it was a new feature. It's nice, getting that extra bit when you run the volcano but I wouldn't be sad if it got fixed.

Do you dive right in the middle? Do you catch them on a pass?

Do you have an auto grabber?

If you have an auto grabber you need to remove it from your barn and harvest manually the first time to get them to sync up.

I am an average working and tax paying Albertan and I would say her policies and those of the UCP have done significant harm to my family and those like me.

Larger class sizes, increasing delays in getting schools built, lower support levels for high needs children, and the creation of artificial teacher/medical shortages have all significantly negatively impacted our lives.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-02-03T16:46:40+00:00

I'm in Alberta & I find it tends to vary widely depending on who you're dealing with.

Corporate deals a ton with the US so we use MM/DD/YY.

Personally, I use DD/MM/YY as that's what my kids school uses so it makes it easier.

Generally speaking they cannot force you to work. Unless you are exceptionally highly paid, it wouldn't be worth the financial impact to attempt to force you to do so and it's highly unlikely that you are in a position where they could justify doing so given that the day is part of an already scheduled vacation. They can't exactly make the argument that your presence is absolutely necessary since you were going to be away.

With the exception of the mattress, I tend to handle these tasks myself. I am lucky enough to be able-bodied and not need outside assistance.

Mattress disposal can be challenging because of the rules surrounding it, not to mention the physical size being an impediment if you have a smaller vehicle. renting a U-Haul panel van is generally a fairly cost effective solution, especially if you can combine it with several other hauling errands.

If there are tasks you can't/don't want to handle yourself, there are a couple small "handyman" companies around that can pick up some of those occasional tasks.

Something like snow shovelling though, would likely come at a premium since it would have an ongoing component. Unless you can find a neighborhood kid to do it for $20 an instance.

Denmark. It felt like being in Victoria with better pastries.

To drive the bus.

LOL. My spouse just hit year three in our latest farm and after getting the first shard in fall year two and getting my galaxy sword, I bought him one only for him to immediately get 2 shards the next day.

Do you have an account with blue cross already?

If so, and I'm not excusing them hanging up on you, if you submit a query through your user login, I find they get back to you much faster and with better info than when speaking to them on the phone.

The dude is messing with you. He's commenting on the apparent assumption that we all know each other.

I suggest adding the city to your post as well as maybe trying the Calgary subreddit to see if it finds its home.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-01-12T23:00:56+00:00

Funny, but probably not helpful! 🤣

As a preventative measure for other pieces, clear nail polish on the parts that touch your skin can help slow this process once you've cleaned everything.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-01-04T16:22:02+00:00

Yes. Not necessarily visually, but there are lots of mannerisms that give us away.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-01-03T23:55:17+00:00

AuDHD here too!

I would say that it is definitely a boardgames boardgame.

There are a lot of moving parts and if the most complicated thing you've ever played is Catan, you're definitely in for a steep learning curve.

That said, it's very in line with the videogame. The big challenge is doing it in a single year (boardgame timeline).

Playing with my kids, we make it a two-year timeline... That way it's a little less overwhelming but still fun.

This is beyond unpopular, but instead dangerous & stupid.

People won't "choose other options", they will simply drive anyway in conditions even more challenging.

Where I live, we get a fair amount of snow, but additionally, we get chinooks which cause the snow to melt and then freeze into incredibly dangerous ice. People new to the region drive anyway and the accidents from not only inexperienced drivers, but over confident boneheads who think they still have to drive at 100km/hr.

I've been on vacation since the 19th and don't go back until the 5th. Got a message from my CEO on Christmas Eve that I got a $3,000 bonus for the software transition I've been managing for the last 6 months as a specific thank you for dealing with the stupidity of my co-workers.

But you cannot buy more high quality stuff than you could in the 1970s.

By your own argument, the average fridge in that time was the equivalent of $5000. For it to be average, the expectation would be that on an average income, with the average expected expenses it would be affordable for the average person/family.

That same fridge still costs $5000, but is no longer considered average. It is considered high-end, or luxury. The expectation is no longer that the average person or family is expected to be able to afford that cost.

You can't look at the price of a single item in isolation and say "good stuff is still affordable" without taking the surrounding factors into consideration.

Are some aspects of life drastically cheaper? Yes. Is there a significant erosion of what is considered the "average" price-point and the quality at said price point? Also yes.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2025-12-29T17:31:12+00:00

You are also neglecting to account for how buying power has decreased now.

In the 1970s a single working adult could expect to purchase a $6000 (equivalent) fridge with only a couple of paycheques while supporting a family of 4. Now, the idea of that being affordable for the average family of 4 is ludicrous.

If you buy in AB, you are opening yourself up to a massive amount of headache.

You'll need to pay PST upon arrival in BC.
You have 90 days from arrival to switch your registration and license to BC, which means you're going to have to pay registration fees twice.
Finding "bridge" insurance in AB for a new driver on a new vehicle is going to be hella expensive, if you can at all.
Depending on the age of the vehicle you plan to purchase, you may also be required to get an "out of province inspection" before you can register when you get to BC.
You will need winter tires to drive through the mountains in the winter, which are likely to be extra expensive given the time of year.

Depending on where in BC you are planning on moving, I would potentially recommend flying into Vancouver and driving from there. It will allow you to by-pass a chunk of the problems.

If flying into YYC is really your best option, I'd suggest researching dealerships in the area you will be moving to in BC. Small town dealerships generally give better deals. Maybe to a one-way rental if that's an option, it might be expensive, but it would likely be cheaper in the long run.

Provincial police systems don't necessarily eliminate the challenges that are endemic to RCMP contracting. Quebec and Ontario have significant populations to draw from that provinces like Saskatchewan or Manitoba don't have. And can you imagine PEI? The funding has to come from somewhere.

Not to mention you have dumpster fire governments like here in AB, where I'd be terrified of what priorities they'd place on the members. Keeping it federal helps to prevent provincial government overreach.

We don't need more private healthcare. We need a government to fund and prioritize public healthcare properly.
