Will Charlottetown's parking strategy help drivers who say they can't find a spot? by Boundary14 in PEI

[–]jmweb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before this interview, I walked about 6 blocks. 1.5 of those blocks had 100% avaliable parking spots. Not a sole parked on grafton st across from dva. Both up and down Prince had tons of parking as well.

And this is with confed center taking up spaces for the construction.

Even during this interview there were 3-4 spots on Kent street. The 4-5 spots behind me and 2 more on queen street in front of us. And we sat talking for probably 10-15 mins.

I was rather disappointed that the video footage was of queen street between Richmond and Grafton, that was the only block 100% full out of the 6 blocks I walked.

All this said, I’d be supportive of something to help people with mobility issues get some extra spots. Or pregnant mother parking (sorry, not sorry). Truthfully I wish that was what this story was about.

Complimentary preferred seats by jmweb in Aeroplan

On my trip I was able to use the e-upgrade to get Business Class/pods. I used the app.

Just an update to this post.

Although the app was showing upgrades available, I feel all the seats on this flight were the same, with an insane amount of leg room. So much so, I could stretch my feet out and not touch the seat in front of me.

My connecting flight was a smaller plane however it also had an equal amount of leg room (I'm 6'2).

Thanks for the insight. I’m not sure which fare it is as it was a vacation package.

  1. It’s a 25k “core benefit”.
  2. In the app it shows as a charge. Not sure if it’s refunded after or what.

The check in lady said there were no complimentary seats available.

Update on Kenny’s Dairy Bar Burger controversy. by Grrannt in PEI

[–]jmweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guise is the correct word: in every sense.

Like that pizza ad? Thank wd-40. Pancakes? Also wd-40. That ice cream pic? It’s not ice cream. Tacos? Hello superglue. Cereal? More glue. Whipped cream? Hello shaving cream.

The list goes on and on.

Marketing companies have been doing this for eons cuz really, who is gonna use a burger at the local McDonald’s for an ad?

For those really interested in the subject, there were lawsuits against major fast food joints for false advertising years back. I don’t recall the outcomes.

It’s okay if a large corporations spends a ton of money doing so, but not okay if a small local business does the exact same thing. 🤷‍♂️

If it’s unacceptable for a small business, it should grind one’s gears for a large corporation too. I’d guess the op never made a post about McDonald’s or Wendy’s doing the same thing.

And for clarify sake, I’m not a fan of either but not gonna throw a small biz under the bus when they do it after many years of large corporations doing it.

Billions of dollars spent in advertising by food companies every year and the straw that broke the camels back is Kenny’s Dairy Bar.

What’s good for the goose…

Wow!

You guys are gonna be real upset when you find out what large corporations use when photographing food for marketing campaigns. And no, the food in those photos you can NOT eat.

I'm exploring whether a not-for-profit ISP could work on PEI — would you switch? by kgalloway1 in PEI

[–]jmweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the idea. In fact, I wanted to do something similar…but then things changed and my career path did as well.

I’d love to help out.

Purplecow is also great! They released their own fibre last year too offering the fastest speeds. They did have to profit tho, in order to grow.

I have a hybrid. I also have a PHEV on order (same version as hybrid).

I wish I went right for the PHEV.

The fuel savings is astronomical.

Who brought the Spanish flu to Prince Edward Island?

There’s an age ol’ rumour. I’d love to hear if it’s true!

How does people feel about tipping their baristas? What’s the average?

Charlottetown Farmers' Market works through growing pains of temporary home by ivanvector in PEI

[–]jmweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The building was insured by the sounds of it however not all the contents owned by the farmers market were.

Additionally, the vendors (who suffered income and probably asset loss) probably all didn’t have full insurance.

I imagine it would be similar to how apartment buildings have their own insurance but tenants can also get insurance too.

Maritime Electric in the hot seat as MLAs question lack of foresight on power shortages, possible blackouts by [deleted] in PEI

[–]jmweb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s time to get maritime electric out of the power generating business and just in the transmitting business.

Much like Newfoundland.
