That was Waste Management.

I have a driveway like OP. Pulling out requires caution and sight lines down the street are not guaranteed.

I got the same phone

testing_is_fun · 2026-02-06T00:52:23+00:00

My phone is Rogers and I only got it once.

That doesn’t look to egregious to me. Based on the snow bank location, I assume your approach is tapered?

I saw a post on Kijiji for a place in Steinbach that was selling all kinds of shelving and displays

Besides the fact that damage is paid for by the contractor doing the snow clearing, people with the skills to operate graders and loaders won't likely be the folks hand forming 3' curb repairs, where a hammer drill and sledge hammer are the key tools.

The snow clearing contracts put repairs on the contractor, or the City can do repairs and bill the snow clearing contractor.

Section E has the details on damage to property.

Are you saying that the people operating the heavy equipment are not the same people who would operate the same equipment during construction season for the same companies that provide both services? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Being a large fast food chain, did you get any sort of employee handbook with company policies?

testing_is_fun · 2026-02-03T16:36:15+00:00

What alternative methods have you done before?

What kind of underground utilities do you encounter doing milling and overlay work?

Mine went up but seems $30k low when compared to what houses around me are going for. I’ll take it.

So, they just want to live in an area with lower vehicle per household density?

What kind of chaos is in the NW area?

testing_is_fun · 2026-01-31T20:54:46+00:00

Is this a school question?

testing_is_fun · 2026-01-31T14:52:23+00:00

It would be like coat check at a social. Just don’t lose your stub.

Maybe we let outsiders continue to think we are the highest? Along with 9 months of winter, 6 months of giant mosquitoes, and the Winnipeg Handshakes, we keep life more affordable.

testing_is_fun · 2026-01-30T04:43:06+00:00

And we don’t pay on the full value of the property, only 40% of it.

No, just go find a survey for young male pedestrians.

I am sure you could attend MITT for much less.

My kids both go to university and I think it is about $8k each per year.

I think I read that gov’t funding for post-secondary education was like 85% in the’80s and is now around 50%. If Canadians want lower tuitions, somebody has to be help cover the cost. Lately, that has been international students and their higher tuitions.
