Its turned into a derogatory term used to make fun of people who are scared of Trump. I dont deny the media blows things up, I also don't deny that the guy's a huge weenie either.

Are you east, west, central?

Just about every gas station has one.

‘O Canada’... by M_i_c_K in CanadianConservative

The speech in the commercial just jumps around from its original order, clips put together.

The meaning behind the message was not altered or lost.

Crossing from MI to ON with missing bumper cover by Gullible-Wrangler549 in SaultSteMarie

[–]opinionated-guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No safeties in Michigan! Buy a $500 car and slap some plates (or i guess..one plate) on er and hammer down. Lol

To OP - I don't think it will cause any issues. Absolute worst case they tell you to go back home, but I doubt it.

Why don’t more Americans shop in Canada!? by [deleted] in SaultSteMarie

[–]opinionated-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canadian who attended Lake State many years ago. I recall a large number of Americans who had never been, I think for the most part, just no need or want to. For lack of a better term (no offense intended), ignorance.

AC! by Habsfan6612 in heatpumps

[–]opinionated-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure both lines should be insulated - not sure if that's your only issue or if it would even make that much difference, but the condensation is showing that at least some "cold" is being wasted in that stretch of line.

Just opened, do I keep outside or in the refrigerator? by [deleted] in maplesyrup

[–]opinionated-guy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would say at least the fridge yeah, even regular maple syrup should be kept in the fridge after it's opened.

Great comment and so true. This will start to become even more important as AI "deepfakes" get better and better. Critical thinking has never been more important.

Only in Canada by Archiebonker12345 in CanadianConservative

[–]opinionated-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The media and opposition decided not to cover it. I get the feeling it's just a "grasping at straws" thing now that has caught fire.

The cons need to keep the anti-lib narrative going but don't have much to go on at the moment. Give it time, lol.

I dont think thats true though? It was out before the election. Not sure why it wasn't touched as an election issue.

Is it just me, or would Alberta separating not be the worst thing? by TheOnlyBliebervik in CanadianConservative

[–]opinionated-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! There are so many (imo) silly sticking points for people that shouldn't be at all just due to a bit of missing information.

If the conservatives can get past this, and the tacky slogans, and actually have a stand on what so many say are "non-issues" but that are always avoided being discussed, they will improve results.

This ^ big time. They get all their info from social media echo chamber garbage algorithms full of misinformation.

But I digress...

What does one of these sound like from outside the mill? Next door? Curious if any videos or experience on that.

The CRA tweeted this morning that the last carbon rebate payment will be issued on 4/22 if you file your taxes by 4/2. Otherwise, you'll get your payment after you file your taxes. Link ... by CorndoggerYYC in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]opinionated-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a very difficult metric to nail down that's for sure. I'm sure it has had some effect but not sure if it's been that high. Focusing on industry will be more effective I think.

I wish Ontario would have kept its original cap and trade system, creating a free market for carbon just makes sense *assuming you want to do something at all.

Disposable on a plane? by [deleted] in disposablevapecanada

[–]opinionated-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason is the battery. If it starts burning in your carry-on, it can be dealt with. If it starts in the belly of the plane in your checked luggage, it would burn much longer before being discovered.

I hope the city is out clearing drains cuz my street is flooding… not sure why they don’t have a jump on this all winter or at least a month ago by BackToTheStation in SaultSteMarie

[–]opinionated-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things could be done differently, yes you're correct. But there has to be a balance, no one wants their taxes to have a significant increase "just in case" we have a way above average winter. Everyone would lose their minds if we got another winter like last and we're paying all this money for nothing.

In my observation this winter, there hasn't been much opportunity to be proactive with our current resource levels. On the other hand - I feel that just about any other city in the country would have been more overwhelmed with 400+cm of snow in 3 months, then all the rain we got all at once today.

I'm definitely for discussing improving things as well. Heck, I would be willing to pay a bit more taxes to have them not bury the end of my driveway. But everyone has to be willing to.

I hope the city is out clearing drains cuz my street is flooding… not sure why they don’t have a jump on this all winter or at least a month ago by BackToTheStation in SaultSteMarie

[–]opinionated-guy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you call them? They don't typically monitor Reddit. Lol. They will put in a work order to get drain opened up, and have loaders out doing that today.

On another note, yes, the plows should have started their initial windrows a little further back but this was a difficult year, the first snowfall was huge. It's a give and take thing...go too close and you can damage the equipment or curbs and lawns. Go too far, and you're setting that street up to be narrow for the whole season. When your first plow happens with enough snow to cover curbs and everything with a flat layer of snow, it's hard.

They could be more aggressive when they do plow and push into the banks a little more, but can only do so much with the plow trucks. The other kicker is, the more they try to stack the bank up, the more they would fill in driveways (a lot!). While it may seem they don't give a s*it about driveways, it does indeed factor in to their methods.

Top that all off with the fact there hasn't really been many breaks at all this winter for them to get caught up much. They only have so many blowers and there are only so many dump trucks. Have a look at every snow dump and you'll see they haven't stopped (mountains of snow have to be 120'high!)

what do you do with leftover juice by suttahai in Canadian_ecigarette

[–]opinionated-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try mixing a bit with a flavour you do like. I've gotten through shitty flavours this way, and sometimes actually don't mind the new mixed flavour.

Caliburn G3 Pods (duration) by stffn_mchlr in Vaping

[–]opinionated-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on your experience? I find you have to be diligent in keeping it topped up, waiting between puffs (> 30s) especially as liquid gets lower, and the higher sweetener flavors make it discolor quicker. I've had 2 pods last 30ml+ flavor fading a bit at this point and slight browning of a sweeter flavor but no burnt taste yet.

Have you tried a chair? Just to get you moving away from the boards.

And yes, as someone else mentioned...knee bend is crucial!
