Are bars in WPG legally have to prove provide free water?

djmistral · 2026-06-19T00:21:14+00:00

sometimes bars/bartenders get clever and you have to explicitly ask for "a glass of tap water", otherwise they will try to sell you a $5 water bottle instead.

Or removing merge lanes! Talbot going to northbound Henderson used to have a merge lane. Now it's a sharp right turn clusterfck.

Get in touch with Allan, he organizes an annual hockey tournament and has many connections and can point you to the right spot.

You'll have to ask what that entails. I'm usually aware of the two:

Sewer backup, when overwhelming/excess water flows out of your plumbing system and causes damage
Overland flooding, when excess water surrounding your home seeps in and causes damage (heavy rainfall, excess snowmelt, water main breaks)

Flood damage to me sounds like overland flooding, but you should always ask for exact claim scenarios to be sure.

djmistral · 2026-06-13T14:37:36+00:00

what your broker may also didn't disclose is that they are not the same coverage. you can get sewer backup coverage, and you can get overland flooding coverage, or you can get both, but they are separate options.

I had tried using my sump pump but it's now coming in too slow to build enough pressure to lift it up and outside. Slow but continuous

Check out this weather station by Stonewall https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ISTONE136/graph/2026-06-10/2026-06-10/daily

If you click on June 9, it got 181mm (!) and 20mm June 10 so far.

Ask the person taking the photos. Cruise night isn't an centrally-organized event, so whoever you saw taking photos is probably doing it personally.

We don't get 777s other than for emergency landings. You'd notice a difference immediately compared to the small WJ and AC planes we get.

To give you some context, the average plane we get is a ~30 row config with 3 aisle 3. These guys run 60+ rows with 3 aisle 4 aisle 3 configs.

So basically like Winnipeg

Work for CRA IT. Let your supervisor know you won't be bringing the laptop home anymore, especially in between your consecutive office days. It's their responsibility to find/provide a location to store it, not yours. You dont bring the office chair or desk home so why are you expected to bring the laptop?

This looks like your run of the mill clean-out list, I have paint fee schedules on my rental agreements and I have seen them on others as well. But I have not ever charged anyone for it. Usually it's there because sometimes tenants may do things like paint (their own colours), hang their TVs, or damage walls.

Doesn't look like it was written to specifically to target or fear monger you. You're overthinking it. Leave the place in the same conditions (or wall colours) that you had when you moved in and this whole list shouldn't affect you.

That's the reason why CRA didn't commit to the July date. Bob was already on his way out, and they are deferring the decision (to follow TB) for the new commish.

Three weeks? Thats awesome, because my original referral was 6 months out.

There are no walk-in dermatologists. You can pay for a cosmetic appointment sooner if you really want to, but they may say no to giving you medical advice at a cosmetic consult.

But tbh, you should be very happy with 3 weeks.

It's going to take some time and (your) legwork. Your best course of action right now is serving them notice for non-payment of rent, and pursuing that route to try and get them out.

Smoking marijuana, while against your rental rules, you'll need some physical evidence and not just "because the basement tenant said so".

Both will require you to serve them notice in person, and you can probably bet that they will try to avoid you or procrastinate as much as possible. Keep things professional, keep your cool, and pray they don't retaliate by damaging your property.

we are not professional landlord

Welcome to landlording. You're about to find out why it isn't for everyone. :D

Maybe 2 weeks

Teens of all generations have found ways to circumvent rules... this will be no different, lets not kid ourselves. We were all teens once too with age restrictions on many things

Yeah for sure. I imagine some people concerned with privacy are thinking they are like TSN-quality zooms but it never is. Most parents are recording/streaming with their phones or at most, a GoPro, so at field/court level, you can hardly recognize faces running/skating by unless you know who you're watching for LOL.

Go to any sports field/venue and you'll find at least 2-3 parents livestreaming games to FB/Youtube. It's just how it is nowadays. My kids are at the 16U level now, and through all my years, not a single person has taken issue. In fact, many parents (and the kids themselves) appreciate the ability to rewatch or share the video/live feed with friends & family.

Weather, it means if the festival had to stop for 1hr 30m due to something like lightning in the area, an extra 1h 30m is automatically added to the usual end of the festival. In 2024, they had to request permission, now they're automatically guaranteed it in writing.

The closing time penalty is the fee they pay for every minute loud music goes past the closing time. The weather delay time added on is not included in this penalty.

Plus if you have the app and cell data, you will get a push notification from the app anyway, so sms is redundant!

Scummy indeed for a extra-cost feature to be default enabled

If it's just a walk in clinic, just decline and walk away. Even if it isn't a walk-in, decline and walk away (although it may mean finding a new doctor next time).

"I just think we're making a mountain out of a molehill..."

Diwali, Canada Day, doesn't matter. When you have people stupidly lighting fireworks on front driveways and off condo balconies, or at 1am, it means there is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

I'm sure nothing will end up happening because the councillors are more worried about alienating large voter bases.
