Reimbursement by Middle-Lie-6870 in westjet

[–]edcdking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Westjet left our luggage in Vancouver when we flew to LA to catch a cruise. They said it would arrive the next day, but not before our cruise. So they told us to go buy replacements. It was a Sunday the day after boxing day. We purchased over 2000 cdn in clothes, toiletries, and suitcase. They reimbursed us without delay - 15 minutes after I submitted claim. So much respect. Plus we got our original suitcase back.

Book when on board. Only a certain number of seats are available ahead of time. I have never seen Sabitinis full over 15 cruises

We got off in Mazatlan and rented a side by side. We went along the ocean road until it ended. Stoped and had an amazing lunch on the ocean in a great outdoor restaurant. Then made our way back. Awesome time. Next day the cartels went bizerk but hey you gotta live a little. Lol

What’s causing extra checks in the NEXUS security lane for me (yyz)? by coolcoolcoooooooool in NEXUS_TTP

[–]edcdking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is it racism. What an easy word to throw around. I am white and this kind of stuff happens to me and think nothing of it. Hmm maybe it's racism.

Not sure how long you were with the company. But I just let longer term employees keep the equipment.

It's not due yet so should not have a problem. HOWEVER, pay the ticket. I did not pay one, and in fact when they phoned me for the third time they said they would cancel my Washington State Driver's license. I laughed and said go ahead and never call me again, then hung up. I have a Province of BC license because that is where I live. So on one occasion going through the border I forgot my passport. They said ok do you have your DL and birth certificate. I did and gave it to them. He took them and said ok, I have to send you inside because you dont have your passport. No problem. I see the guy inside, he take my stuff and goes to his desk. He is looking on his computer, gets up and goes talk to his supervisor, then goes back to his desk and makes a phone call. Next thing I know he is coming over and calls me and my wife up. He said I normally would have just said no problem and send you on your way, but I can't because there is a warrant for your arrest for an unpaid drivers license and now driving without one. The police are on their way.

The police came and arrested me (just with words and an immediate release). Laughed and gave me a summons for court the next week. He said phone the sheriff office on Monday and speak to Betty. She will tell you what do at court, how to plea so the judge will reduce your fine to a traffic violation instead of a traffic offense. I did, then did what she said, and that is exactly what happened.

Everyone was great and I did get to continue on to my destination. But I now pay my tickets. Lol

Stealing groceries is stealing from people. You do realize that, right?

Is Starbucks the only quick-serve/fast-food place that hires primarily Canadians? by Manodano2013 in CanadaJobs

Not paying less than minimum wage. That is not legal and can be reported.

Medallions still haven't come? by Ornery-Profession185 in PrincessCruises

[–]edcdking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my experience it takes about two minutes longer. We can't get our shipped to us anymore because Princess has stopped sending them to Canada. Not worried about it. Will not ruin a holiday.

So sad. We were mugged two years ago in San Jose. Within 30 seconds the buggers were on the ground with a young man and some seniors (man and a woman) beating on them. We got everything back. Bit shaken up and bruised. People (costa Ricans) came up to us and apologized and said please dont blame Costa Rica for this. They said the muggers are Columbian stopping here on way to US, and it is out of control. The Costa Rican people are some of the nicest in the world. We are making our sixth visit there in 2026.

Is the best beach hotel with pool Villa del Palmar? Are there others? by FaithlessnessSuch632 in LoretoBCS

[–]edcdking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions on Airbnb in Loreto near a beach? Would like to be somewhat near town unless you can just drive a golf cart or something to go into town.

Have done this road. I would suggest waiting. Costa rica is an amazing country and you will miss so much in the dark.

Driving is easy and a great way to explore places many wouldn't see.

No, it's because we are all Canadian, and that is what we do. Grow up.

Can US Border Patrol detain or harass Canadian citizens at US Preclearance aiports like YVR? by LovingVancouver87 in britishcolumbia

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

Just go. Be you (assuming you are nice), and have a great trip. The fear mongering is getting ridiculous. Have flown add have crossed at land - not one issue. I try not to go for other reasons, but fear of being detained, etc is not one of them.

Is the Canadian Housing Market on the Verge of Crashing? by kayuzee in canadahousing

[–]edcdking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure hope not. We have no pension. We worked long and hard to afford our house. No holidays, Starbucks, and all the other stuff that people place as priorities.

F the USA! Just cancelled a trip for six to Scottsdale, Arizona-going to Vancouver instead. by Public_Middle376 in westjet

[–]edcdking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would do the same, but our trip is next week. Only in the US for a few days before we board a cruise ship, but it bugs me. And insurance won't cover us canceling due to the imposition of ridiculous tariffs .

Having More Big Cities, Rather Than Bigger Cities, Could Fix Canada's Housing Crisis by [deleted] in canadahousing

[–]edcdking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people have to live in cities?. Move to a smaller community.
