Nintendo e-Store cards only being sold at a few select, obscure stores. Why?!

People who shovel snow onto the street. That is what your yard is for.
We are in a deep freeze, there's no residential snow clearing, and no Chinook in sight.

I shovel the sidewalk, if I shovel it, onto the street because fuck you City. You refuse to clear my street (you get ONE clearing annually IF they deem enough fell at once) so I refuse to clear your sidewalk and if you make me, it's going onto your street.

You are supposed to shovel snow from the city owned side walk onto the city owned street.

Who cares if there is snow on the street.

Not as bad as the endless amount of dog snowpiss everywhere. We got for a 3.5km walk around the community most days. Literally every single snowbank and all of the mailbox stands had piss covered snow everywhere.

Dogs are disgusting.

100% this. In my parents neighbourhood (Hawkwood), morons starting doing this over the last 10 or 12 years, and it fucks up the road entirely. Blocks part of the street so only one lane of travel is available, shared by both directions. It's seriously the dumbest thing in the world.

What's dumb is your useless City can't manage snow removal for the exorbitant amount of tax money that it costs.

Plowing residential streets would make most problems worse. Source, they plow mine semi-regularly, despite it not being on any plow route or bike route, and it fucks things up with the windrows. Ruts are better.

Piling snow into the street because you're too dumb or lazy to throw it onto your lawn is what we're talking about here. If you want the city to plow the snow you throw into the street every day, expect to pay more taxes for the service...but really plowing issues vs. taxation are a separate conversation.
This is my "Buster - dogs are stupid" hill to die on, haha.

The neighbor I witnessed today was doing rows starting from her garage ending in the middle of the street forming a mini snow bank for me to drive over and compact into the road.
Over time this leads to frozen ruts, bumps/moguls.

[Tik-Tok]

Yeah, who GAF about sidewalks. It's the driveways that fuck up the road.

I think only people who have only ever lived in Calgary believe this. Calgary just sucks at it. Other cities have it down to science.

I put 100% of the sidewalk onto the road, plus I stretch that 100% by a little bit.
I never said I was a good person.

Twisty moustaches trying to sell me things.



I would drive over this guy in a marked crosswalk.

Sidewalk snow onto the road. Driveway snow onto the yard. It's all legal.

This is the way

Pro tip, do the driveway first. That way if you get any on the sidewalk it’s now the cities snow.
