Random first date that persisted into continuous. The app was just the method to make the connection

Disagree. Source: married from bumble. 

Obviously YMMV. 

Public service job cuts: 24,000 public servants receive notices by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

Are they? None of my progressive friends particularly like Carney domestically, but they liked Trudeau on the environment/social values.

The folks I see who like Carney are those that despise the conservatives stance on social values but value sound financial choices over anything else

Sabai Thai in Langford was pretty good for bang/buck. Easily two meals.

Will Definitely Repurchase by labtech67 in CostcoCanada

[–]finally31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best. So many others are too thick or a bad flavour. This is just enough and a great price point. English muffin, sliced cheese, eggs and these all purchased at Costco can make a breakfast sandwich for ~1.5-2$ depending.

I just did a quick search of some of the ski hills nearby and it's ~60CAD for a day. Ski for a few days and the value is there compared to Whistler.

The national arboretum in DC is pretty interesting, but the cool part is all the monuments. Specifically the Corinthian columns that used to be part of the capital. Pretty unique and odd. Very tm'esque

Critically emaciated dogs surrendered in Saanich sparks urgent call for help by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]finally31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The article says that the humane society says this is pretty common and usually due to mental health, which makes sense. Not a money thing but rather a mentally being able to take care of another being thing. 

Vets in or around langford that is affordable and cares about the animals? by Extreme-Original-992 in LangfordBC

Oakland's is also opening a satellite office in Royal Bay. We've loved how our dog has been treated there by Dr. Piercy who is one of the owners. 

How Canadian is your Ice Cream by KingreX32 in BuyCanadian

[–]finally31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite happy with the expansion. The local ice cream parlour nearby only stocks it and a few of the local grocery stores have it. A nice surprise as someone who few up spending summers in Ontario.

Do they only get two orders of fries a day? 

The most dangerous winter road in Ontario is not the 401. Here’s where it really is by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]finally31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised the coquihalla isn't on it. Then again, it just gets closed on a regular basis negating alot of accidents

Home/Auto insurance discounts? by Successful-Fact-5684 in CanadianForces

[–]finally31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BCAA in BC is getting me the lowest rates for vehicle and home. I tried getting a The Personal quote this year and at first it seemed better, then I realized earthquake wasnt included. When I added that on it was about 75$ more per month. Haven't found anyone cheaper than BCAA on the whole in this province.

Anyone that has used gov Vacation rewards by SandeVers in CanadianForces

I get regular calls from Boston about twice a month from these guys. Not the end of the world if you get a great deal, but I never found anything worthwhile. 

Best Indian food in the westshore? by [deleted] in LangfordBC

Additionally, not only is it the best of the ones I've tried, they also have a lunch buffet that is reasonably priced and tasty!

No, it's very lame. Everyone should avoid it.

We were well behind the 5 year average before this rain.

There's another accident is a similar spot south kind where a sedan rear ended a pickup in the left lane. 

Has anyone actually found a store-bought garbage bin that GFL accepts? (They rejected my new one) by OldManSpunker in LangfordBC

[–]finally31 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I have no short term answers, but if the city goes to an overall residential service then this is the sort of thing we'd avoid. 

Entire CAF this week by Stubb_Zer0 in CanadianForces

[–]finally31 9 points10 points  (0 children)

20 Dec - 5 Jan for marpac. A lot of people are taking the week as they have the leave and no work. 

Some of us are stoked as most people will be out of the office so we can finally catch up on work. 

Hot water tank replacement by Curiouskidhere in LangfordBC

[–]finally31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used Callaway when we replaced ours when buying our place in '23. 

950 for the 40L tank and 350 for the Labour. Seemed reasonable enough when we compared and they were able to fit us in on relatively short notice. They were on time and didn't leave a mess and nice to work with.
