  1. Tonight, we party like its November 2008. #you'reFIRED

    1. Ghostsof1915

      There's going to be a lot to fix. 

      I think first thing that needs to be done.

      - Mandatory that all Presidential candidates divest themselves of business interests.

      - Mandatroy that a criminal/ and tax audit check is done.

      - Limit powers of executive orders. 

       

      I think that goes in Canada with orders in council. 

      Maximum 6th months. If it wants to be made permanent it has to be approved by a 

      majority vote in the House. 

      (That way for emergencies etc, you can still do them, but long term they need to be voted on)

      @Ghostsof1915 add “no former reality tv contestants or hosts with no political background or experience” as well

  2. Hopefully a mole in the White House can play trump’s “you’re fired” on a loop. 

  3. The orange baby is throwing a tantrum on Twitter.

     

    Does any other country's elections have this?

      @#Canucks So what do you gotta say about the armed magats outside the ballot station at Maricopa County?

      @Pears I don’t agree with it. But if someone comes after you or your family, you must protect them or yourself.

  4. Is anyone a professional with Facebook Ads that wouldn't mind me DM'ing them a question? 

  5. Received a physical visa gift card from the US as a gift from a vendor. It states "for use in US only". I was able to register it online with a US address but couldn't use it on a couple canadian sites. Anyone know if there's any unique way to use the balance on this gift card? Don't mind using it to buy a gift card to another company too but whenever I go to a US website it automatically switches to their canadian site.

      use a VPN to make it look like your computer is in the US. I use nordvpn.com - they do a free trial so it doesn't have to cost you anything.

      amazon.com will accept it but you will pay duties, potentially, on the item

      Thanks @Robert Long and @peaches5

       

      Ill try the free vpn first, if not, I’ll try to snag something off Amazon 

  6. I really miss the outdoors more than anything. I miss being able to hike. Years ago, I was backpacking across Western Europe. I was just outside Barcelona, hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path, and I came to a clearing, and there was a lake, very secluded, and there were tall trees all around. It was dead silent. Gorgeous.

      Have been cycling/hiking almost every day now for a month or two. Long as you have a mask on(even partially)..it's hunky dory in Osaka.

       

      Frustrating being low on $..but I've been down this trail before :^)

      Better yet, how about dump the monopoly ICBC has and let the free market system rule?  This socialism (bloody communism really) doesn’t work.  ICBC is a bloated mess that needs to be killed off.

      Be careful what you wish for @Alflives.  When I moved from BC to Alberta, my insurance went up.  And when I was in an accident (no fault of my own) it was brutal trying to get the other guy's insurance company to talk to my insurance company.  They wanted me to pay for all the repairs up front and then get reimbursed.  It seems that all the studies out there cherry pick the customers to make things look the way they want them too.  I've seen some pretty crazy things come out of private insurers.  Having private auto insurance is not all sunshine and rainbows like they would lead you to believe.

       

      I agree that ICBC is a mess, but I think that mess needs to be fixed, not replaced.  It used to be the model for how public insurance should work.

      @Seannnp I was at the table when this was first proposed by Eby and to discuss ramifications on the health care providers sector

  9. Don't think Baer will actually step foot in Utica. No one is going to claim LE or Schaller. There just might be some interest in Baer. If he gets claimed, not only does he relieve cap space for us, but he gets a legitimate shot elsewhere. No room in our top 6 for him, and he isn't an effective bottom 6 checker.

  10. Happy David Koch is dead day everyone! The countdown is on for his equally as evil, POS brother.

      @48MPHSlapShot lol gtfo the Koch brothers are evil b@st@rds who would burn the world down if it meant an extra few bucks in their bank accounts. Go look up how they manipulate cities into forgoing public transit initiatives and instead make them spend tax dollars on roads and fossil fuels because they own the monopoly on them. F*ck David and hope his brother bites it soon

      @NucksPatsFan Celebrating someone's death and wishing death upon someone else because you disagree with their political views or don't like the way they conduct business.

       

      You're a disgusting, despicable human being. 

       

      I would urge anybody that sees this and agrees with the above poster to preemptively throw me on ignore, as I have no wish to ever converse with scumbag human beings that would wish death upon others.

      I used https://www.passionsports.ca for my floor hockey team t-shirts.  They did a great job and the price was reasonable.  I checked their online catalogue and they do 3/4 sleeve shirts too.

  16. If you want horrendous, terrible customer service, try to become a Shaw internet and cable customer. 2 weeks ago was supposed to have it installed between 11-1, the tech called at noon to say he ain't coming. I was told by his supervisor it'd be rebooked for the 29th. Just called to confirm, no appointment was ever made, earliest they have is Jan 10....  They must hate acquiring new customers? Lucky for Telus, they'll retain me.

      I have had no problem with Shaw. They have always provided good service to me.

      Someone else will get hurt this game...hopefully its not Petey, Boeser or Horvat

  18. Is there any one/where I can contact regarding Canada Post? Very important medicine for a family member has been sitting Processed at the Richmond processing center since October 25. This BS has dragged on too long. Can I go pick up the package myself?

      @peaches5 I called them - they said it's in the processing facility still but due to the strike it won't be attended to until it's over. I said why was it in the facility on October 25 and the Richmond facility didn't go on strike until November 9? SHE HUNG UP ON ME. 

    3. Squamfan

      Squamfan

      Contact Global BC, CBC BC CTV BC, and let them know about rude customer service.

    4. peaches5

      peaches5

      I am will to bet she just assumed it was because of the strike unless they stopped working before that just so people would feel some sort of delay in their packages. Every package has a deliver by date and it should only be in processing for a few days a week tops it was in there for almost 3 weeks.prior to the strike so my bet is it got lost. Just don't use Canada post for any type of shipping if you can choose. They have always been horrible. They will be out of business short anyway.

  20. Switched to Freedom Mobile because a free s9+ for $50/month and nothing upfront was a huge draw. Terrible service, people are complaining they can't call me. I have $900 left on my tab (and keep the phone). Telus is offering me to come over for $85/month for 5GB data. 

     

    Think it's worth eating the $900 ? Retail price of the phone is $1100 and $800 on craigslist.

      ugh thats too bad. I'd still bark to the corporate office that you want to return it given the poor coverage or you'll complain to the CRTC. Who knows, maybe they'll say OK.

      I successfully got a Rogers contract voided due to no service at home.  Threatened to take them to CCTS for violation of contract.  They didn't contest it.

       

      Worth looking into if you're any good at negotiating.

      I'm an accountant, but I'm pretty meh with tax issues (not my specialty) and never dealt with US tax issues.

      Retentions is what you want.  Just find a plan you like from someone like Fido and negotiate.  Call in ans say you're considering cancelling and don't take any offer the first rep gives you.

      Ended up going with Freedom. The Surrey location had a promo 5gb for $50 plus an additional 4gb was the promo ..so 9gb for $50 plus they gave me $300 trade in for my s7 edge which had cracks on the screen, other places offered $53 for trade in because of the damage

      That is super fun!  I went ice skating at Rogers Arena.  Fin was there, and it was selfie time behind the Canucks bench and in the center of the rink, and skating around.  I like to see how fast I can go when I have my space! They can probably pick up a cheap pair of skates at Walmart or a similar store.
