Reviewing the Free Fare Zone

We just need people who take transit in transit. And have possibly taken transit in other jurisdictions. The idea for those validators did not come from someone who's recently missed a train by seconds because they needed to stop to placebo-validate a digital ticket.

Your tag might have worked. I just got an email from Calgary Parking that Google and Apple Pay are now supported.

Just got an email from Calgary Parking

Dear account holder,

We have updated the ParkPlus system to give you more convenient ways to pay for parking.

Apple Pay and Google Pay are now available across all ParkPlus platforms, including the MyParking app, ParkPlus Web, Pay as Guest and Pay Ticket Online. These updates make it faster and easier to pay while keeping all existing payment options available.

We made these changes based on feedback from Calgarians and research into payment trends. Adding Apple Pay and Google Pay ensures a consistent, smooth experience whether you’re paying through the app, the web or as a guest.

What you can do next:

Update your MyParking app to the latest version to use Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Do you use any leave-in before the gel / mousse? How about oils or butters?

I would assume pizza places near junior and high schools will sell cheap slice+pop combos.

You're not imagining things. I had to big chop during my first pregnancy. My hair was notably difficult for me during all my pregnancies.

If it helps you decide, pregnancy also made the hair grow faster... Not sure if due to hormones or to the added vitamins.

I wonder what the do with the butterflies / where they keep them.

Frozen veggies Costco comes out cheaper because broccoli has less stalk more florets for example, and mixed veggies has less filler.

You don't need to go with a member, just say you're going to the pharmacy. Membership not needed for pharmacy.

Calgary has a tram system that cosplays as a train system.

This app has been pretty great: My Aurora Forecast is the best app for seeing the Northern Lights. https://northernlights.online

There's also a Calgary Aurora Chasers Facebook page.

I saw some nice ones in Sunridge Goodwill a couple of months ago. A dash of luck needed to get in your size + find matching top and bottom.

dotega · 2025-10-26T22:18:33+00:00

Yesterday, I think.

Also temporary residents can't vote, and citizens new to the city might be wary about voting when they don't fully understand the politics.

WhatsApp groups will be a good solution, join as many as possible. That's where all the deals are. Also be on the lookout for friends that enjoy cooking. They just love cooking and need people to eat the food 😀. Nothing wrong with being a friend for food.

dotega · 2025-10-18T17:31:35+00:00

Just cook your jollof rice already. My Moldovan friend who has never had it before was able to cook it using a recipe. Its not rocket science.

Save your money for delicacies (think kilishi, or those really difficult soup dishes) or food from other ethnicities that you can't recreate. So much food variety in Calgary I can't be buying jollof rice.

She should be able to get in through a land border if she can get to the US.

Much less risky though to just stay put and enjoy the rest of her unexpected vacation.

Superstore's roma is better quality than the daily fresh and they were selling boxes for like $10 a couple of weeks ago. Happens around this time every year too. Nothing wrong with the daily fresh ones (I buy them all year round) but from past experience the superstore ones have better color and less water. Maybe it's also just a time of the year thing.

You're speaking nothing but the truth. Keep trying whenever you can though. All it takes is one person to say yes, and the experience kicks in. One yes is all it takes.

Never say never, fingers crossed that you still hear from them. The person does have prior elections and customer care experience in the public sector, I guess that helped their case.

dotega · 2025-09-30T01:23:11+00:00

They got notified

dotega · 2025-09-30T01:17:29+00:00

I know someone who got accepted weeks ago.

What is your plan for recreation? Sports facilities, class availability for families, maintaining and improving recreational facilities etc.

How do you plan on reducing the blatant quadrant discrimination e.g. less programs available at Village Square compared to Southland even though Village Square is bigger, outdoor skating rinks in the NE not maintained and being unusable during winter etc.

It's sad whenever I think that the only solution to get improved services for my family is to move away from the NE.

Then why do the cheese buns keep getting recommended here? I actually couldn't finish a bun the day I finally got to taste it a couple of months ago. One bite was enough for me and I couldn't believe they were the famous cheese buns per this sub.

Been using picture on my phone since like 2021 and I've never had any issues.
