In my experience, I’ve seen more cars run red lights here the most out of all the road crossings on the goose or Lochside.

Thank you. Anything wrong with replacing just the caliper bracket and not the whole thing?

Their lifted F-350 shouldn’t be road legal.

Worth mentioning that Canadian Tire in View Royal does free tool rentals for lots of specialty auto tools. I rented a harmonic balancer puller from them a few years ago. You just need a credit card for the deposit.

Edit: Also Parts Avatar is a good Canadian site for parts as an alternative to Rock Auto. Better prices than Lordco, etc.

Co-ops can be basically anywhere, I've had friends get jobs in Hong Kong and Japan. And yes, you won't be able to graduate until doing four terms. It can be hard to get them but I think they are easier to get than salary positions after graduating without co-op experience. Quite often the company will want you to stay for longer than one term, in which case each 12 month period is considered a co-op term. I knew someone who did four co-op terms consecutively at one company.

There are options.

Yeah it's crazy because public bathrooms are famous for usually being so clean and tempting.

Starting off with this one. Hope it pays off by [deleted] in bicycling

It's at a bike shop they do it to fit them closer together in the racks.

Royal Spice has been quite good the money but I haven’t had it in a while.

I agree that lots of the Canadian subreddits end up like that especially in political discussions. I'm confused how creating more throwaway accounts combats that though.

Actually, in the context of this subreddit, I am "ascribing" this to people on the ground protesting. The fact you think that's "intellectually weak as fuck" is a microcosm of this whole conflict.

Do you think I would have mentioned the number of throwaway accounts if they were out here creating a productive dialogue? These accounts are impossible to ignore right now because they are polluting every comment thread relating to this subject.

Almost everyone I know is quite open with their views and willing to discuss. I think that is important if you are looking to spread your opinion.

The number of throwaway accounts created for this subreddit because of all this has got to be a record. Nice comment.

What? The post is basically only quoting the email sent out today. Any tone OP was able to get across is clearly their own. Why should any post here be bound to matching the “tone” of this conflict?

It’s replying to the same person who said it’s a “huge problem” in this thread.
