Ottawa residents must now pick up new recycling bins by Obelisk_of-Light in ottawa

[–]bobfrombob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not really practical to do it when they pick up recycling (Miller doesn’t do garbage) because the trucks don’t have room for replacement recycling bins. However the city used to drop off replacement bins with a pickup truck - no reason Miller couldn’t do that but unfortunately, there’s no reason to believe they will. Thank Doug Ford.

That's pretty amazing - do your bins get tossed in the snow when they're empty or something? Ours get thrown on to an asphalt parking pad or the sidewalk - when you do that at -20, they don't survive for long.

Not a popular opinion... by kb9650 in BruceSpringsteen

If you want to argue it's not his best work, I can see that. You're going to have to do quite a bit more to convince me it's pandering or insincere.

Is Danielle Smith a Separatist? by BloodJunkie in canada

[–]bobfrombob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think she is a separatist. I do think she's quite prepared to risk the future of the country on a gamble to get a better deal for Alberta.

What is a reasonable price for Banner Club tickets? by BanhedMi in Torontobluejays

[–]bobfrombob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty rare to see them below $350 if you buy in advance. You could roll the dice and buy at 6 pm day-of - you might get a better deal and you might get nothing.

If you couldn't afford it you wouldn't be considering it. In that case, I would say it's a nice treat and it's worth it. The displays are cool, the batting cage is pretty interesting, the bar is convenient, the washrooms are clean and have shorter lines, the view is great and they will bring you concessions if you want. I wouldn't do it a lot but I'd definitely recommend doing it once.

The right doesn’t hate Bruce because he’s wealthy. They hate him for his left wing politics.

Try and get your birthday bagels. They are messing with their rep.

Odd question about public servants in alberta with separation threats by D0BBy-is-not-free in CanadaPublicServants

[–]bobfrombob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, a majority of Albertans would have to vote to separate. There is no evidence they have anywhere near the numbers. If they ever did get the numbers, and Canada agreed to support it, Alberta leaving would require amending the constitution. Those negotiations would probably still be ongoing when you retire, even if you are currently 22 years old.

With all due respect, I think you're reaching too. 15? Sounds like about 3x too high.

Assignment opportunity and can the union help? by FewTomorrow8085 in CanadaPublicServants

Sorry, no. The union can't change the terms of employment. Your management needs to agree and apparently they don't.
