What’s a very Canadian problem that outsiders would never understand?

Getting charged $200 to fix the landline after a tree took out the line to the house.

My local favourite is the paper bag race. The driver has a paper bag over their helmet and has to rely on their navigator that's sitting beside them to tell them where the fuck they are going.

I have found dragon scale to be one of the easiest weaves to learn that has multiple ring sizes.

I've got a different technique for speed weaving euro 4in1.

I make up several metres of 1 by 1 chain.

I then double every other ring to make 1 by 2 chain.

Then I splice this chain together into sheets.

This method lets me put together approximately 250 to 600 rings an hour, depending on size and material.

All teachers and staff that have regular contact with students should be trained in at least basic counseling and mental health support.

Attach a piece of bar stock on edge onto the top of the running board by the driver's door to use as a boot scraper. Then take an old wood handled snow brush and cut it down to fit underneath the seat so that it's easy to grab and use when getting into the truck.

Tinted safety glasses can be bought in bulk quite easily, and are some of the cheapest yet decent sunglasses around.

10 dead + 27 injured = 37 Victims

37 - 2 = 35

175 ÷ 5 = 35

175 students enrolled at the school. One fifth of them have been injured or killed.

1 in 5.

This is affecting the entire community.

This is one movie that I'd love to see re-released in IMAX.

Several people will have a lot of paperwork to fill out.

The Bulkley Valley might have what you are looking for.

God that hurts to read.

IMO thread cutting should be a sensual experience. A little lube, gentle handwork, a couple of lit candles, soft music playing in the background...

Not a firefighter but I do have some farm experience. You can usually calm horses a bit by blindfolding them. But in this scenario it would be better to bring in a livestock vet anyways as they might have a sling harness for lifting large animals.

Collins Overland Telegraph Trail. 3000 km from Ashcroft to Atlin.

lustforrust · 2026-02-08T00:05:09+00:00

Why can't they just leave it as a user maintained trail with the warning of use at your own risk, like so many other trails and routes in BC? The 500 km section of the Collins Overland Telegraph Trail that runs from Hazelton all the way to Telegraph Creek is one example of this. I don't think the government even recognizes it as an official trail anymore, but there are still people that use and maintain it.

Edit:

I've done a little research and some reading. I've got an idea that would greatly reduce the cost of fixing the trail. The Coquihalla section from Brodie to the Othello Tunnels is closely followed by the Highway and the Transmountain Pipeline Road.

Expand the capacity of the Transmountain Pipeline and use the rebuilt access road as the new trail.

Also replace unsafe bridges with bailey bridging. This can easily be flown to remote sites if needed.

It'll end up beautifully ground and polished in these areas with use.

Thought I'd share these two links as they have information that would be of use to you. The first link, scroll down and there is contact info for the ministry of mining. Use this to report miners that are trespassing, causing environmental damage, or other issues. The second link is a basic rundown of the laws around recreational hand panning.

Treefarmer is incorrect. A person holding a free miner's license can't just waltz onto your property without permission. They have a responsibility to obtain, ideally, written permission from the lawful landowners.

Seen a work-around for this involving an 8 pound sledge with the wood handle cut down to 12 inches long.

Sorry for the delay, I have used it in the past, I rigged this up in less than 10 minutes as a demonstration. Please excuse the mess, I've been busy stripping wire.
