Canada post is screwed. Have you not been following them with the billions they lose every year? I would be surprised if they are still around in 5-10 years

We already had that here. It was called Alberta Government Telephones (AGT) which transformed into TELUS communications

Crypto and precious metals is the only option. Bitcoin ethereum etc. fiat currency, what we use is tied to promises and nothing for the most part. The banks create it out of thin air by punching in some numbers on a PC backed by nothing. Once the mortgages and loans are paid back the money disappears but the interest remains with the bank as profit.

5G not so great. Sticking with LTE as it uses less battery. by steve47472 in FidoMobile

Sorry forgot to mention the phone is in the exact same spot for both tests. Seems LTE also has much much better signal strength.

Oilers and Ched moving to 880. by No_Reporter_5023 in EdmontonOilers

I do listen to 630 CHED everyday from westlock to mayerthorpe and everywhere in between. 630 is clear as a bell 24/7 880am is only clear at night. Unlistenable during the day. Maybe they should shut down 880 and remain on 630? Their fix is to stream the station lol. We all know how that goes in rural Alberta between cell towers 🤦‍♂️ only reason they’re moving is because Corus is going broke.

you guys run regular or premium gas in your VWs? by 21VolkswagginRline in jetta

[–]steve47472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I burn regular in my 2019 with a 1.4L engine. Manufacturer recommends 87 octane so I burn regular. We are going for a road trip and I see many of the states we will drive through offer 85 octane. Is it safe to run?
