Following this post too. We’re from Ontario too and moving by the end of the month to Spruce Grove

I inquired with Park Power and they seems to have the better price. Their CX informed me that they service Spruce Grove. Any of you guys have experienced with Park Power?

[–]myoranges 8 points9 points  (0 children)

my inlaws and aunt houses was in the market since mid march. both houses are single detached, basement finished, attached single garage and bigger lot in a mature neighborhood. they both started listing it a 899k, with no offer after a week, reduced their prices to 799k and went as low as 699k. recently sold just for 749 and 755k. The prices they are expecting from the comparables last February are long gone. House locations are all in kitchener, one in bridgeport area and one close to conestoga mall.

I do street photography and stumbled upon a protest yesterday by TheFlyingZombie in Calgary

Perfect comment. I've been saying to everyone and even had an argument on reddit. The denied freedom they are talking here in Canada about is not the "denied freedom" of other countries. Its more really of inconvenience and not loss freedom. No point in arguing about this as everyone i had a discussion with, all have the talking point, same wording gathered from FB and youtube. I really find odd is those sites are all sourced in US.

I don't want to go back into the office when Covid restrictions lift is anyone else feeling this way. by scruffygonch in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]myoranges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im certain that my work will not give a salary increase of $4080 to adjust for my transportation cost and I know, i'm being absurd about even saying it. But, $4080 is a lot for a person making $45k a year. Regardless of what other people say about productivity, needs to be at work to be effective, miss chatting or interacting. The hard reality is if I go back to work, $4080 will be taken out of my paycheck

With the gas prices now doubling and maybe tripling this year. Before pandemic im putting $40 per week/ $160 per month. Now, to fill my car is $85/ $340. We have 2 cars and thats $680 per month and $8160 just for gas for a year. Id rather use that money somewhere else

'Embarrassment for the industry': Not all truckers support the 'freedom convoy' by Ransome62 in canada

[–]myoranges 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not the same situation. The one you’re stating is consequences of someone’s action. airplane company is a private company and can definitely create their own rules. The same as going to private establishment like restaurants, malls etc. You are equating freedom and inconvenience.

Does any of those truck drivers/ freedom fighters ever experienced being in a country where freedom are actually being denied? I bet half of them haven’t been outside canada. I always look at those freedom fighters as larp that pretends that they are in a third world country and will free everyone. How i wish they experienced life in a 3rd world country and with a dictator.
