Haha there is not a single person on Reddit that would think I'm cool and I'm certainly not popular...hence the bannings.

Sliver, you guys should get a Pine Marten or a Fisher. Roughly the same size as the doxie, and no barking. Meaner than stink too, so you won't have to worry about people wanting to pet them and you'd for sure never have to worry about cats in your yard (nom nom).

With a yard cat though, they are totally free. If I come outside and it's there, great, and if it decides to leave on a walkabout, that's also fine.

I guess I kinda just want a part-time pet at this point, and only so long as it's not inside my house.

Good luck. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago and now every time I read the word "ironic" the chorus kicks off in my head and stays there for hours.

Maybe some criminals have decided that they are fed up and took the job of filling in the ridiculously egregious number potholes upon themselves.

If theres one thing the Mafia excels at it is controlling Union Labour and they take the condition of their vehicle suspensions seriously!

I heard it was someone threatening to jump off the overpass into traffic.

Ugh, that was my guess. The 162nd overpass was closed as well. Took my wife an hour to go from Macleod to millrise. Hope everyone is ok and likely a good idea to steer clear of that area for a few hours at least.

I can completely understand the eagerness to start celebrating labour day long weekend as early as possible but most civilized people don’t get drunk enough to make jokes that bad before 6pm on the Friday.

It may seem like I am following you around, I am not but I did think it was hilarious after my post in the other thread about CPB and in this thread the word union was used and guess who had the next post? Hahaha.

Ooops. I did not even read your post. That is sad. Now I feel bad.


Ranch dressing. Teachers. Unions. The three tried and true bat signals on this site.

We got out of there at about 3:00am. De-escalated with no injuries

Wow, was Macleod closed the whole time too? Kudos to everyone involved and very glad to hear there were no injuries. My wife must have been part of the very start of the closure and detours at 4:30ish PM.

At some point are we going to tell Quebec they're the off-brand France, or should we just let them go on thinking they're cool?

Lol! I've been to France 3 times and I speak fluent (Canadian but not Quebec) French.

It is hilarious to me because that arrogant French attitude...that cuts both ways.

The French love Canadians....except the Quebecois. Because those imposters are treading on their French Reputation.

If their labelling requirements are the reason I can’t get Snickers ice cream bars in Canada, they can go #### themselves.

It might be cheaper to just teach them all English.

I just tried those for the first time recently in Australia. Really good.

But of course no requirement for French packaging there...
