Pockets that are *just* wide enough so that a cellphone can shimmy itself onto its long edge, and require having to invert the pocket and remove everything else in order to get it out.

Acupuncture. Had a friend who had 8! Shoulder separations over 4 years and was recommended surgery. He wanted to try alternative medicine first, 2 sessions of acupuncture and all his pain was gone. He hasn't had it re separate for 9 years now.

That's true. It's not only mainland Chinese that go there, but Filipinos, Thai, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese....

For a less racisty parking lot GG, I think Lina's lot is horrible. They need to tear down that restaurant next door and add parking, or get rid of the street parking permit system in that area.

Veiled racism? Racisty post? You know who shops at T&T and everything else in that area? Everyone of all types. Gotta say, I'm less than impressed by the trend on this forum to throw the racist card at the drop of a hat.

Haha, c'mon on now. Everyone knows the largest clientele of T&T. You can argue you had no racial intents in your post, but you can't sit there with a straight face and tell Calgarians that the T&T doesn't have a certain clientele compared to say Southcentre mall.

Where in my posts did I mention percentages or amounts of patrons? I've lived in this neighbourhood for about 9 years and shop in T&T routinely. Yes there are more Asian ethnicity patrons than non-Asian, but it is nowhere near exclusive. #### me.

Edit: I am referring to the general shopping complex there too. T&T is the biggest sure, but there is all sorts of other stuff in there and I maintain that it (the shopping complex) is purely multicultural in patronage. I'm in there almost every single day.

Yup, just checked. I am indeed correct.

Well, all I'm saying is just call a spade a spade. You specifically mentioned T&T, we all know why the parking lot is a disaster there. There isn't much point in saying there's all types of people there, imo.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. My very first post referred to the entire shopping complex with the T&T as the clear geographical marker for context. If everyone knows the parking lot is a disaster, why am I suddenly the racist?

Haha, sorry I'm sounding like more of an accusing A hole than I mean to be. I'm just saying, say what we're all thinking!!!

The people who are inferring that the T&T shopping center parking lot is a disaster because of a high population of immigrants are the racists.

Observing a situation and reporting it is not racist. Drawing conclusions based on your own opinion of its clientelle and their driving ability is.

It could just be poor parking lot design.

Wormius · 08-04-2014, 05:31 PM

I don't think there is anything specifically wrong with the parking lot design. I think it has to do with the ease of which you can get obtain a driver's license and still manage to have to do a 20 point turn to back out of a parking stall.

I seriously think some of those "Canada's Worst Drivers" exercises should be part of drivers exams.

The first thing to fix with driver testing is for the government to take over.

Right now the driver training company gives the test so their is incentive to pass everyone regardless of performance. If you had to take a government run test or at least testers being randomly assigned from all driving schools then the incentive would be on training students to pass and there would be no disincentive to fail people.
