Seems like you're the constant variable.

Also, stop stealing our water.

Can big ass spiders crawling out from under the tub plug, just as you're about to hop in for a bath, be a gear grinder? Because...

Let's figure this out, obviously it can be filtered cause my basic ass fridge filter turns it into palatable water.

Calgary has some of the cleanest and best water in the world.

If you're having problems with it, its not the water, its likely your pipes.

If you put clean water through a filthy pipe its going to come out filthy.

My water has an earthy tone at the moment. Happens every year.

Airdrie gets its water from Calgary.

Anyway, I wasn't saying you were wrong, quite the opposite, I just think the whole thing is weird. You might say the illogical word choice rules of our language GMG.

I blame the French. They're usually the culprits for our messed up language rules.

I'm not getting into another argument about the French.

That’ll never happen in your or your children’s lifetime.

Get any closer and we’re building a wall.

[Fuzz]

And Airdrie is paying for it.

We just have to turn the taps off.

"No more water..."

That'll turn Airdrie into a Dystopian nightmare in no time. Granted...all the people at the Boston Pizza and Mr. Mike's wouldnt even notice...

Geosmin is the chemical in question causing the off tasting water.

Ah yes. The classic irregular sesquiterpenoid.
