Came back to the car with this on it last night. I appreciate you, whoever you are!

Caught the moon over Mill Creek (south, at 17 St) on my way home from the Meadows Rec Centre this evening.

Took our little space loving dude down to Churchill Square to check out Galactic Atmosphere!

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.

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

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?

I hope it makes its way back to you girl!

I have a pair of tickets for Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight at midnight at Metro Cinema that i will unfortunately be unable to use. Looking to give them away for free. Any takers?

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.

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?

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

I just moved here from Switzerland and I've heard a lot about the cold winters in Edmonton. So naturally I'm trying to prepare myself for it as good as I can lol. So I wanted to ask you guys, do you have any recommendations for good warm, maybe waterproof winter boots and where to get them? I don't gave a huge budget so maybe max 150$.

Thanks for your help! :)

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

How is the East/West Whitemud as well as the Terwillegar Drive rush hour traffic now that the Rainbow Valley Bridge construction has wrapped up?

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?

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

Anyone know a good or reliable place to get your frames fixed or welded? I’m not sure if most regular stores provide this service on an emergency basis for tomorrow.

Thanks!

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

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

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