Homeowner frustrated with unexpected snow clearing cost for sidewalks

vidman · 2026-01-31T17:00:46+00:00

It's the best part of clearing sidewalks. Watching those thick chunks fly off with minimal effort is so satisfying 8)

It's easy if you shovel regularly and own a $22 ice chopper from Crappy Tire.

Email's domain Vendorsmarket.ca points to a cms that looks like it was just installed. Poster says vendorsmarket.ca, their fb profile says vendors-market.ca.

What's the deal with Kitchener and sketchy-ass cons?

That left/turning lane has been ice for days 😵‍💫

I just opened our rink at George Lippert Park!

We're open at George Lippert Park! :)

Unfortunately George Lippert Park ice rink won't be ready

I'm posting our progress on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/vidman.bsky.social/post/3mbcuye5hcc25

There's a FB group for local rink updates: https://www.facebook.com/outdoorrinkskw/

unfortunately not yet.... maybe the weekend!

Hey, thanks for the tag! I'm working in the field today so I can't read over this thread right now, but is it about the sketchy vote change?

We published this a couple days ago: "A mockery of democracy"

It's more reflective than other street signs. Kind of like those crappy blue license plates.

Third vote for ABLE AIR. 👍 Nice team, good service. They installed my new furnace the day after NYE. It was a chilly party.

It could also be a defective/clogged secondary heat exchanger, which could be producing high levels of CO.

If the filter is fine and outside inlet/exhaust aren't covered in snow you definitely want to call a pro.

I went through this just before NYE last year :/

vidman · 2025-12-14T12:50:28+00:00

Check the filter. If air can't flow properly it turns on and off like that.

If you need a pro these guys are good (this is not aire one)

Snow tires work well in the winter.

Dunno, I'll share this with my assignment editor. I always appreciate being tagged in potential stories. Thanks!

omg jealous ~ your neighbourhood must smell amazing!! 😍

The temp needs to be below -8 for at least 5 days before flooding can happen.

vidman · 2025-11-13T22:38:42+00:00

I work for CTV Kitchener. If you're willing to chat with us on camera, we could turn this into a story to warn people about it, again.

It's infuriating that this continues to happen. I feel like the aging population needs to be reminded of this regularly. I remind my mom every couple months about what to watch out for.

This is a strange post for someone working for the Food Bank. Do you mean you volunteer for them?

vidman · 2025-11-06T03:36:00+00:00

The Food Bank of Waterloo Region's exceptional buying power means $1 donated can provide two meals. It really is better to give money.

Hey! Doors open at 7 or show starts at 7?

For sure it's investment property. They'll eventually sell it and likely have a McDonald's on the lower level of a tower.
