Canada BS Thread

Speaking of waist high , hows the snow ? Has winter ended for you yet ?

17 here today

 

I had my tailgate stolen within 1 hr of parking at the Dorval Travelodge Sleep/Park/Fly,,, and Steal.

They even wanted to charge me $1 for electric tape so that I could isolate the torn back-up cam wires that were shredded.

Git 'r dun.

I highly recommend this toilet.

Far over waist high! The snow banks are still 6+ feet, but it hasn't snowed in a week and we have been seeing daytime temperatures on the plus side. This weekend on the other hand... supposed to get another 10-15cms.

I set up my resume on Indeed.com for a Vancouver Island job haha. Maybe someone will see it and I will end the NS winters in my life.

 

Glad we agree

 

Fuck the snow. I remove it every day.

We're Canadians... stop complaining.

We shouldn't be thieves.

 

Yeah you guys it's just snow

whatever that is

 

In my 30 years I have never seen this much snow.

 

My kids are 6 and 9 years old. The last two winters in Ontario they have built snow men and snow forts and spent hours at the local toboggan hill.

Gallons of hot chocolate have been consumed with marshmallows and many face cords of firewood have been burned.

"When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the of warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter."

 

Well thats swell

 

So , yeah

In hot markets realtors will list homes at lower values to induce bidding wars. Clearly worked that time.

 

How does one pay for it? You'd have to lease the roof to the local pigeons, the back yard to the slugs and squirrels, and the basement to the pill bugs. That price is completely retarded.

I'm glad I live out in the boonies.

 

In Frencher news, Quebec looking to tax internet access and ban non loto-Quebec approved gambling sites.

Futureshop done , stores nationwide close or convert to Best Buy

We had a Best Buy and Futureshop literally right across from each other. That was never going to make sense.

 

Mortgage

although with the amount of foreign investment in Vancouver's real estate market it could well have been cash or a cheque

 

I liked Futureshop , I don't like Best Buy

This kinda sucks

 

Agreed. I found BB to have lower end items and lower end staff. haha

They will probably now offer the better items at BB but I still prefer the red. Blue is not an official Canadian colour.

Every BB and FS around here are within walking distance of each other, I can't see any of the FS locations being switched to BB.
