The ATA has been looking for a fight since before Covid19. This is just an excuse. The teachers are collateral damage, just like the kids, parents etc.

When the unions get involved. Everyone loses.

Didn't Lethbridge already vote overwhelmingly in favour of a strike vote.

False, the Union wins. And they only care about their coffers.

I like unions as much as I like intersections.

Special assessments due to incompetent piece of shit condo developer and previous management. Nothing but garbage, wish I could spit in the developer's face.

I sincerely do hope it's not the Marda Loop 4 floor wood framed condo development I installed cabinets in just over a year ago - from the day I walked in I knew that building was fucked as they a guy cutting open holes on drywall in all of the hallways and suites looking for the plates/bolts that secured the load bearing walls to the floor plates as these plates/bolts were either not there or were not large enough. Fast forward to thus summer and the building is moving so much that cabinets are pulling a inch away from the walls, door casings and more have had to be removed just to get washers/dryers into their allotted cubbyholes because the building has shifted to the point that these doors can't be opened without considerable force. Initial site super was fired because of incompetence and the next guy had to try to remedy the first guy's fuck ups.

And then there's the concrete condo building on Edmonton Trail where the floors on the west end slope 1.5" over 10 feet - cabinet guys can hide a lot of shoddy build stuff but considerably sloping floors are rather difficult to disguise.

Unlabelled electrical panels - why is this a thing in so many homes? New homes, not an issue but older homes - it's a crap shot as to which breaker is servicing what.

[killramos]

I found one breaker controlling 3 rooms at all different corners of the house the other day.

Nah, large high rise east side of downtown that has have had a shit ton of problems since it was built. I would not be surprised if there are going to be more special assessments in the future.

Yup.
Maybe in 5-6 years the area will be more lively. For now, the only thing it has going for it is Superstore Yip..pee...

Wish they open up a downtown T&T somewhere there so Asians can hike up all the condo prices in the neighborhood there

H-Mart is opening up in Vic Park. And jesus is it big. Was surprised.

Amazon changed the delivery date immediately after I bought an item. Been a while since that happened.

I have two dogs that like to play guard dog when someone comes to the door. I also have a toddler and newborn with nap schedules all over the map; you can figure out how this might cause me headaches. As such, I disconnected and placed a sign by the doorbell, as well as put a 3x8" sign right on the door right where you would knock, that says NO KNOCK!!

You wouldn't believe how may imbeciles still knock on the door (specifically on the glass, which means they are knocking on or immediately beside the sign that says not to do so). Whenever I can, I head out there to see what 90 IQ mother fucker thinks they are special enough to warrant ignoring both signs. Today it was someone from property stars, trying to tell me my (well kept) house could use a cleaning.

I had the same problem but instead i just got a Nest Hello and in the settings disabled the chime. Problem solved even for the idiots that can't read.

Does a Nest Hello physically stop people from knocking on your door? My doorbell is disconnected, that’s not the source of the problem haha.

Foam door?

Try a different sign.

"Self-quarantine in progress, 3 Covid positive persons in this household, knock at own risk"

If they still knock, cough all over them.
