Um, what the hell? Where did this come from?

Weight of the dinosaur climbing the electrical pole has tilted it sideways.

First time having to deal with house damage to this extent. Any advice would be appreciated.

Current steps taken were;
Took photos
Submitted an insurance claim
Insurance put us in contact with an emergency repair company (Belfor)
Belfor reached out and made an appointment to evaluate damages Monday.

I have zero faith in the provincial government

Extremely disappointed with Dark. The parking was a nightmare. Not enough scare actors. Though the atmosphere was pretty good, there simply wasnt enough 'stuff' to do apart from the 4 haunts.

Speaking of - the wait times were ridiculous. At least 40 minutes wait for each, only to be pushed through in a large group conga line of 20 people. All the while being told by attendants to keep moving. Cant even stop for a moment and try and enjoy the atmosphere. It also seemed because they were sending in such large groups, the actors inside the haunts didnt even have time to 'reset'.

And under 5 minutes later, haunt is over. $50 for that? Overpriced food and bev? $6 hot chocolate? I heard Deadmonton is a better experience so maybe I'll try that next year.

The few actors we saw roaming the grounds did a fantastic job though.

The wind tore half of my apple tree, and there's a deep wound in the trunk now. I'm so worried it's going to start rotting and die 😭

Traffic signals are out on 50 Street at 92 and 93 Avenues.

Treat broken traffic signals as all-way stops! Don't fly through them just because you're on the "bigger" road! Only about half the cars I saw were stopping and someone is going to cause a collision.

Flashing yellow lights do not mean stop, they mean proceed with caution. If you stop at flashing yellow lights you are creating a hazard on the road.

normal day...nothing to worry about...if a tornado forms, dont fright....very normal....

The plant came with the house when I moved in but it grew a pineapple! It tasted delicious. We shared it between seven people.

I never thought I’d eat an Edmonton-grown pineapple.

Gold Bar has no power - on the phone with EPCOR and there are 200 people ahead of me in the queue to report power outages

TL;DR Separatists having a rally at Alberta Legislature at 3pm. One guy just letting you know, I’ll be there to counter this nonsense, and would love for you (dear reader) to join me.

(If this is too ‘much, totally get it, just please vote; because they will be. Advanced polls close today, Monday is going to be a gong show)

I’m going down to the legislature today to remind our lost in the US propaganda sauce, bussed in neighbours from rural areas… that we’re Canadian.

Share a hearty chuckle at their expense, sing some Canadian songs. Just be generally fun, respectful and much more sane / grounded than the former convoy, now turned “poud bertan” crowd will be.

There’s sure to be police there to keep the two groups separate (I was there in October of last year when they kicked off this lunacy… and other than one large large man in army gear trying to challenge me to fight… it was mostly just banter)

Not an official organizer of anything… just tired of these clowns getting together and making up ridiculous numbers of attendees, saying the stupidity out loud. And not being checked by the rest of us.

Since there are a lot of posts of people asking what's going on, get some clarity here

Mail in ballots had to be received by Elections Alberta yesterday, October 16. If your ballot arrives late it will not be counted, even if you mailed it earlier.

You can check if your ballot was received by using the confirmation code Elections Alberta emailed you when you requested your Special Ballot. Look for "Special Ballot Request Confirmation" in your email.

If Elections Alberta did not receive your mail in ballot you will be allowed to vote on Election Day (Monday, October 19).

In December 2024 I was referred to the Kipnes Urology Centre in Edmonton. It's now October 2026, almost two years later, and nobody has scheduled an appointment with me.

What I do get is a reminder every 90 days, like clockwork. So the system clearly knows I exist. It just isn't doing anything about it.

Meanwhile my situation isn't getting better. I could handle a long wait if I had a date, or even some idea where I am in line. Instead I get a letter every three months that basically says "you're still waiting."
I know the staff aren't the problem and I know the whole system is stretched.

But almost two years with nothing scheduled is hard to take. It's just sad.
Anyone else waiting this long for urology in Edmonton? Did anything actually move your case along?

I lost a few shingles, I'm pretty sure, but I'm not sure how many. I'm looking for recommendations from people who have dealt with this before and can suggest good companies so I can start calling around for quotes. Thanks

Anyone have leads on WW ladies shoes? I know Clark’s does them but they’ve been disappointing when I’ve bought them previously.

Torrid used to have gorgeous ww shoes but they’ve stopped shipping shoes to Canada 😭

If you are the driver of a suv with the plate PRESHY, or know that person, please for the love of God remind them about shoulder checks. They almost caused a multi vehicle collision on the henday at 430 ish. It was a good thing that the vehicles beside me were paying attention and I was able to get space in two lanes for this person to change lanes without side swiping me….and when I caught up beside them, they were completely unbothered.
I don’t know who’s paying that insurance, but at this rate, it’s going to go up.

I was on my way to work and didn't realize I had my birth certificate on me, I noticed I did when I went to pay at the LRT station. When I got to my job it was gone.

What steps should I take from here?
