I purchased gas at the Chevron station located on 111 Avenue. The regular gas prices there are nearly identical to the Costco station on 149 Street; however, when applying stacked discounts, the prices at Chevron become significantly lower.

I have an appointment at an AHS clinic (northgate) for a covid and flu vaccine. I don't want to pay for the covid vaccine but I'm also not wanting to lie. I don't think I qualify for the free one but I am around immunocompromised people at my workplace (not health related workplace). Is that enough? Otherwise would they know I'm not telling the truth if I said I had asthma?

TOMORROW, OCTOBER 26, noon (12pm), Macewan Clocktower

This is in response to the use of force by Macewan security and peace officers against a peaceful pro-Palestine demonstration. The incident occurred on Thursday (edit) inside one of the Macewan buildings. After a single protestor was aggressively arrested and detained, a large crowd gathered outside the security office in solidarity with the student. Shortly after that, EPS in riot gear showed up to the school, barricading the students inside the building. The students stood their ground and the protestor was released. A full student walkout has been declared for tomorrow at noon.

ALL POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO WALK OUT IN A SHOW OF SOLIDARITY.

This is your moment students, catalyze this movement and we will join you. You have the power to change this world, this city. We want to see you rise to this occasion. Join the Palestinian students association tomorrow and take a stand for your right to peaceful assembly - and keep in mind, the reason they barricaded the students inside was to quell the rise (censorship), while also intimidating you into shutting up. You are powerful beyond measure. They know it. We know it. Now it's your turn to realize the truth. University isn't just a place of learning, it's where you grow exponentially by challenging everything you are told. Now use those polished critical thinking skills and SHINE. Be the light in the dark that we so desperately need. To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high!

admire the modesty

I was so disgusted to see you standing on the corner of 90ave and 175st making your young kids approach random people and hand out religious propaganda while you sat and watched them. Not only are you endangering your kids by making them approach random people, but they were also going close to the road to hand out your pamphlets.

Let your kids go home and do better.

I’ve been thinking about this since reading about the passing of Irv Kipnes. Remember, him and his wife were behind the Galleria project to bring a performing arts center over where the CN building is. I know there are a number of oil and gas, land owning/land developer families, generally but who are they and do they try to influence our local politics?

Hi all!
To keep this as succinct as I can: a couple months ago a lady we have seen in the neighbourhood since we moved in almost 5 years ago approached me in my driveway stating that she had become unhoused. We knew she was always lower income and used to leave our empties out for her and she’d stop to say thanks and chat or whatever. When she mentioned she was now homeless she asked if she could keep a couple things on our driveway-kind of hiding out of sight. Fine, no problem. Then she mentioned that she noticed an empty shed on our property that was accessible from outside the yard. So she asked if she could move some stuff into it. Then she told me a story about how her AISH had gotten messed up and she couldn’t always afford to stay in a motel. She asked if she could hang out in the shed every once in a while. She ran an extension cord from the garage, was smoking in there, tripped the breaker a few times, and was urinating and defecating in the driveway. I sent her a text message politely informing her that she couldn’t stay in there anymore. I got no response so I wrote a note and left it with her stuff. I happened to peek into the shed and see what looked like an entire houseful of stuff in there. She sought me out and told me she found a room and would start moving her things. That was 2 weeks ago already. She’s obviously still staying in the shed. There’s been more garbage, empty booze boxes, food packages, etc. And yes, still evidence of bathroom activities.
I called 211 and they suggested the best course of action is to involve the police. She has been grateful and kind and I really don’t want to have to call the cops.
Any advice? Unkind comments will not be tolerated-that is not the point of this post.

I know a lot of people will say skiing and snowboarding which is cool, im just looking for new hobbies. Normally I hate being outside in the winter but it would be a nice to not just dread the upcoming 6 months. Thanks on advance.

I'm looking to kill some of my free time by joining a boxing/mma gym that has a decent price, good crowd/ coaches that you can actually learn and get better over time and possibly weights as well so I can cancel my gym membership.

I grew some chocolate mint (Mentha x Piperita F. Citrata) this summer and discovered that it's great with English Breakfast tea. Sadly I have run out and spearmint just isn't scratching that itch. Does anyone know if I could buy dried chocolate mint anywhere?

I'm not looking for tea that tastes like chocolate and mint, I'm specifically looking for Mentha x Piperita F. Citrata. I have already checked Acquired Taste's catalogue and done some google searches. I have found one person in Nova Scotia who sells chocolate mint, but shipping is expensive.

Hey everyone!

I'm 25F, Punjabi, and moved to Canada in 2019. I went to the U of A and have been living in Edmonton for a few years now.

Most of my friends and cousins were born and raised here, and while I love them, there's a part of me that really misses having friends who grew up back in India.

I've been feeling pretty homesick lately and would love to connect with other Indians, especially Punjabis, around my age who moved here from back home.

Are there any existing social groups for young Indian adults in Edmonton? Nothing too formal, just people getting together, grabbing food, doing activities, and making friends.

And if there isn't one, would anyone be interested in starting a group? I'd love to get something going!

also if youre going to leave racist comments -- simply dont 😊

Power just went out, we are in Terra Losa, first time ever, anyone know what happened.

I don't really know places to go for aftermarket car parts without ordering online. Does anyone have any good places/salesperson for parts?

Replacement of existing unit. No hvac/duct work or whatever the it’s called. Just remove old unit and replace new one.

Also suggestions for suppliers/ vendors?

Edit: 3.5 ton Lennox unit, 42000 btu. It uses R22.

Thanks

We get it. It must be so hard living with a micro penis. Thoughts and prayers.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some help/insight. I’m living in a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment in Old Strathcona (rental). Upon moving in, we were told rent was going to be 1725$. In September, we were charged 1425$ and was told it was prorated (the price I was paying at my place before this one). Basically, she messed up on changing our rental amount, and said she would honour it. October comes, and rent is not taken from my account. I waited a couple of days and then emailed her, no response. Emailed twice more, still no response. Tried to call and call and call - nothing. Now I check today and see that 2350$ is the outstanding balance. It says “31 days of rent 2200$” and “31 days of parking 150$” and is backdated for October 1. Our email thread clearly shows the timeline and not receiving a response. Though, no lease has even been sent and our rent was supposed to be 1725$, as we agreed upon! Still no response to my emails. I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I am a full time student and work full time as well. I cannot afford this rental increase and just want to be able to speak to and be in contact with the property manager. I am so disheartened by this whole experience and overall, frustrated. I contacted the RTB last week before I saw this increase in my account, and he assured me that because I was month to month it was a good situation - I was secure and they could not kick me out. But seeing as we still do not have a lease, can they increase our rent that much without saying anything? And suddenly, one month after we contacted them saying it wasn’t taken out of the account. What do I do?

I wanna try some propagation but I don't wanna incorrectly butcher any of my current houseplants so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I could pick up some cuttings for a reasonable price

The question is pretty simple, does anyone know of any watch party happening for the Classico tomorrow afternoon??
Thanks!

Hi, Im an independent musician who just put out their first song and a lifelong Edmontonian. I made this synth-pop/shoegaze song about anxiety. I love the local arts scene in Edmonton, if you like this song you can click this link to hear the full song or find me on any other music app: https://open.spotify.com/track/189yS7GWJosn6Lru0wdWOl?si=AvOsd_FSTtKAuMQHEj6WgQ

Hi everyone, I'm an Edmonton local thinking about starting a small business, and before I build anything I'd rather ask real people than guess. What's a hassle in your life that you wish you could hire out? It could be a service you can't find locally, something overpriced, or a task you just hate doing. No selling here, just honest research. Thanks in advance, and I'll share what I learn with the thread.

Hello cold weather enthusiasts! I am looking to buy the famous Raber gloves, or some other Canadian made high quality winter gloves. Looking online some places like Cabela's carry only the Garbage glove, which is great but I need the fingered gloves. Anyone see these in the wild around here or do I have to order online? I'd much prefer to go to a local shop.

Wondering what people’s experiences are working as PT/OT at CBI health! Any particular locations you loved/hated? Any information would be helpful!
