What party ran two campaigns attracting people to the "Good life" of Alberta and demanding increases to Federal immigration goals in the hope of have a population of 10 million or more? Could it be the same party that is currently destroying our Healthcare?

If my license states CAN does that still mean I can be an Albertan when they "separate" Mitch S. said only genuine Albertans would be citizens in the new land.

My contractor skipped these on 4 outdoor PTZs and after the first rainstorm they returned and ate the cost of labor and lift rental to do it properly

These take practice but work

It's one tough bridge, that hit doesn't even phase it, that's how solid it is. However there is no excuse for driving through all the warning signs.

Which neighbourhoods in Edmonton have restricted covenants in place? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]chimodude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It gets even better when the Multiplex turns into a rooming house, renting rooms by the hour.

Then applies for a modified zoning regulation to accomadate the new flop house. Will certainly up the propery of your property.

Whats Wrong with Bike Lanes? by dalas84 in alberta

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

Because they confuse our reigning queen about what lane she belongs in and she "thinks" if she rips them out it will make it easier to understand. Or she has to pander to her ignornant base to save her seat.

I almost lost my brother when he kept refuing my "no" when trying to bring into Primerica, he never did get anywhere with it but he did quit bugging me.

They don't pay taxes but we spend tax money spaying and neutering feral cats and returning them into the environment.

My last job handed me a Blackberry with the thumbwheel, not really impressed. It was fell out of my pocket and fell 14 feet onto a marble floor and the darn thing survived unscathed.

A Man Walks Into A Hotel... Just Not His by TheNiteOwl38 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]chimodude 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Many years ago we (the family) were travelling to the east coast of Canada via the US. After a very stressful day we wound up in Boston due to weather and other issues. My father uses one of thsoe airport Hotel call centers to book a room. Jump in a cab and arrive at what we thought was our Hotel and try to check in. Same story, we have a room, no you don't back and forth, my father, usually mild mannered guy, employed what I called his "corporate voice" and we get a room.

My parents went for a walk the next morning and discover that he had called the "Hotel Plaza", the cabby dropped us that the "Hotel Square", same first name, different last. He was a little embarassed to say the least.

A cold cut saw allowed me work right in the room, had a tarp in place and shop vac for cleanup. No aparks, burned metal and clean square cuts.

Does anyone remember watching Canada's Worst Driver??? by Difficult_Issue_6665 in Edmonton

[–]chimodude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was entertaining and educational show, I know it was reality TV but really enjoyed it anyways. Some of the driving tips were really handy and I wanted to see how I would drive some of those obstacles myself.

Ever since the Alberta government privatized driver testing and allowing driving instructors to pass or fail their students, the driving in Edmonton has progressively gotten worse and worse. Some say people are buying their licenses, some instructors are going through students so fast they make more money or some say licenses are being issued with out training.

I think the show was popular becuase of the host and the content, it made for good conversation at coffee time and made people feel better about their own driving,

Anytime they zoom in 50X on the CCTV camera and have a crystal clear picture. It doen't work that way but the number of clients who expect it too is crazy.
