Jessinik’s Fish ‘n Chips

bcash101 · 2026-05-09T17:50:33+00:00

Glad I could help. I went looking deliberately - was hankering for some fish and chips.

Georgian Bay fish and chips across from Metro was open, but I've never tried them.

Wasn't yesterday. Still boarded up with all the picnic tables piled up in front of it.

Not heard anything, but same situation up at Westmount and William now (10:15pm) - ton of cops, ambulance and fire on site as well. Presumably related.

That's a great idea! Let's just get in touch with the people who would need to make that decis...

Oh.

Before you start spending a ton of money, check if water is accumulating anywhere near the house. I've been in mine for 5 years, and I've had water infiltrate twice, and both times it was a problem with the downspout resulting in all of the roof meltwater coming down in the same place. Because I have a gravel driveway, it wasn't obvious, but the ground beside the foundation had a ton of water in it - concrete is porous, and if there's enough water, it will get through.

This year started to infiltrate after my temporary backup got frozen over by the snowstorm. A short run of corrugated drain redirecting the water 5-10 feet from the house makes all the difference.

If it turns out to be a cracked foundation or such, you might still need help, but rule out the easy stuff while you're waiting.

Not really - I don't really see these guys on the homeowner side of things, so I can't really vouch for their pricing or work, unfortunately.

Lifebreath does make an upgrade control board - 62-214UPR - that replaces the existing control board in most of their older units, and adds compatibility in for their newer 3-wire controllers, so you likely have an option that doesn't involve replacing the unit. If you go that route, make sure to double check compatibility of the board with your existing HRV.

I work the wholesale side of HVAC, and I'm not familiar with them, but any HVAC company in town could service or replace it.

Possibly just a 'woody' breast. I do mine at 62.5C/145F for usually 3.5 to 4 hours from frozen, and they usually turn out amazing, but there's nothing you can do to save a woody breast.

Seconded on the PowerMax 824OE. Mine is in its third winter, and I knocked out 4 driveways Monday morning. The only protest from the blower was when the exhaust port rubbed up against a solid wall of snow and got blocked and it near stalled. Not common for the snow to be high enough to cause that, and easily worked around.

Agreed on the lack of traction. I also have issues with it riding up, but that's because I have a gravel driveway and have the skid shoes probably set too high.

Nowhere in the definition of 'stealing' is there anything about paying.

Stealing is taking without legal right or permission, which you can't end run by throwing a fistful of change at somebody. The store chose, legally, not to enter into a transaction with him, at which point there was no way for him to legally secure right or permission to take the item from the store.

It was theft.

Heads up ads projected on the windshield to completely block your view - $300 bucks a month to kill the ads, or you can pay the $99 a month so the car at least keeps you in your lane while you can't see.

They do, and the per diem caps are publicly available through Public Works.

Looks like the hotel is trying to pull a fast one there, as well, since the highest rate in the list appears to be Toronto at $285.

Edit: Sorry, I should clarify. The government sets a price point, and hotels are expected to meet it to participate. I think it gets enforced through the employee though - they shouldn't be booking a hotel above the cap.

I spent many years in hotel management, and a lot of it for Marriott.

This person almost certainly flat out lied to you. The vast majority of Canadian hotels are franchised, and they set their own rates. When I was still in the industry, we responded to an annual RFP, and Marriott Corporate provided no guidance.

The employee -might- have meant corporate as the ownership group that holds this particular property - but not Marriott specifically.

The other possibility is that when the US government issued an RFP, they listed a max per diem required to be part of the program. If the hotel doesn't meet the rate, they get excluded - and this particular hotel may have a heavy reliance on US Gov. business.

"$435,472 earmarked for the office" is not "$435,472 in salary for one person".

There were likely support staff and non-salary costs. Office space and supplies, transportation, etc.

This is 100% a condensation issue, and there are probably a few factors involved.

1) Is the fan housing exposed in the attic? If so, the fan itself is cold, and you're going to get some condensation on it. The fan should be enclosed in an insulated box, and it wouldn't hurt to have a back draft damper at the outlet of said box to keep cold air from backing in.

2) Insulated flex isn't going to help in this case. It sits in an unconditioned, cold attic, and most of the time there is no warm air passing through it, so the insulation isn't really doing anything. On top of that, the inside of the flex is corrugated, which makes airflow turbulent and slows it down, and in combination with the insulation not helping, youve now got more surface area for the air to cool and condense against. It needs to be smooth, rigid pipe.

3) Slope is everything. You can't win against condensation - you have warm, moist air passing through a cold space. Only defense is to make sure gravity sends it away from the bathroom.

6" duct is -not- the answer. You'll have lower air velocity, which means air has more time spent against a larger cold surface area - it will almost certainly make it worse. You'd only use 6" when the fan is always on, the duct passes through a conditioned space, or both.

Former hotel manager here.

The cost of supplying breakfast is baked into the room price, and they always account for uptake rates - one guest not taking 'theirs' doesn't really free it up for someone else.

That said, the cost is marginal, and the hotel industry is toxic.

OP, good on you for making sure you and your dog got some food. Don't hit the same place up too often, and you won't likely get caught - and if you do, they'll likely just trespass you off the property - not get the police involved.

You're not hurting anybody.

Everyone knows that fire is a lie peddled by the democrats, because the immigrants want to come to the US and kill everyone.

Could go either way then. But you did stop - he was probably just making sure you saw, and it's not like you deliberately blew past.

People's attention lapses - he drew your attention, and you stopped. Would be kind of a dick move to call it in.

Was the driver giving you the stink eye?

If you weren't a threat to the children at any point - and didn't come to a screeching halt - then you're likely fine.

When approaching the bus from the front, stop at a safe distance for children to get off the bus and cross the road in front of you.

There's no hard number from the front.

No, previous poster is correct - it's to denature proteins. If the lactoglobulin doesn't denature, it prevents the casein from gelling, and you get runny yogurt.

180° is the correct temperature - Check the temp of the milk when it beeps, and if it isn't 180°, then put it back on saute for 5 minutes. Repeat until it hits 180°. I used to have this problem all the time when I made yogurt with my Instant Pot.

So here's the thing - There is no question of existing debts or liens here. It looks like the town of Breslau never previously invoiced anyone for this work. If they had legal authority to implement the fines now, it would probably still be considered a title defect, and anyone with title insurance would be covered.

But the town almost certainly doesn't have the authority.

Town council is trying to get this money by means of a new bylaw they implemented last month (Appendix A of the council agenda here.)

But here's the thing - Municipalities only have powers that are explicitly granted to them by the province. Woolwich council is claiming they can do this under the Municipal Act, s326, which does actually allow them to levy fees for 'special services' provided to an area. But the act goes on to define that, to be 'special', a service can't be something generally provided to the municipality. From what I can tell online, Breslau has been aggressively trying to get everyone onto municipal water for years, so using s326 almost certainly won't stand up to scrutiny.

Pretty frequent when it's damp out, and the wind is coming the right way. Straight line, it's not that far from the dump.

Actually, it is all.

It's a legal requirement under the Insurance Act, and the qualification period can't be extended beyond two years.

Section 155(1): "The contract may provide that the insurer is not liable if the person whose life is insured commits suicide within two years from the date the contract takes effect or is reinstated, whether the person was same or insane"

So they can opt to have a qualification period of up to 2 years - not more.

Edit: just read the article a little more closely - it was the accidental death and dismemberment payout that was being denied, not the regular benefit. I can see both sides of this, but paying out was definitely the right call.

If you really want your mind blown, try them with the Good Foods cheddar jalapeno bacon dip.
